45: MINISODE #7: Re-discovering the virtue of playing nice
Recently I decided it would be a good idea to get down in the muck and fight fire with fire with some of my political rivals online. Admittedly I love the high that comes from over-indulging in my anger and frustration and just telling people I disagree with how I really feel. But I learned something, or rather re-contextualized a lesson I'm constantly learning over and over. The reason "They go high, we go low" is a good philosophy isn't because it helps us win some contested moral high ground. It's actually much simpler and less grandiose than that. It's a method for staying personally sane, healthy, and happy in a world of many insane, unhealthy, and unhappy realities.

43: COLLEGE FOOTBALL with Mike Archer
It's college football season... in 2020. Which means, like everything else, it's a profoundly weird and abnormal time to be watching games and getting excited about the season. And if you're a fan of the PAC-12 or my team, the University of Utah Utes then... well... you're not really watching any games at all because there aren't any. So in lieu of actual football my Dad and I are gonna break down what it is we like about the sport, delve into our memories about it, and also talk about the things we think could possibly be improved.
