Animals. They're all around us, but what do we really even use them for? Well dear listener, in this episode we dive in and see how far we can optimize animals. And yeah, again, it gets weirdly sentimental. And yeah, Griff forgets what he's talking about maybe 9 times but I think that got edited out.

Our first video episode. You can watch it at https://www.youtube.com/@GooberTimePod Wow. We're really here. I can't even. That said, I'm sorry for the audio. Tom is just so loud sometimes. You might say volume is one of his vices...

Enjoy, citizen soldier. Welcome to the Journey. Welcome to the Awakening. You are loved. No one thinks like you.

Here's the one our dads have been leaving us voicemails about: Classic Rock. There will never be another Hendrix, bro, seriously. Joplin? Goated. Morrison? All hail the Lizard King. The Stones? Now I'm gettin' Satisfaction. Will we mention your favorite rock and rollers or will we just piss you the hell off because we didn't dig deep enough on "Shine on You Crazy Diamond"?

Turn on, tune in, and drop out with this psychedelic ep of GTWDCCHBTG.

This one Tom tries to drag Griffin down with him. Down into the depths of his disgusting disease - alcohol. That's probably what we talk about in this one I think probably.

So in this one we pretty much talk about pets and what it is like to both dominate and nurture a living being. We hold an awesome responsibility as humans to shape the lesser beings around us.

How to use strangers, how to become strangers, how to enjoy strangers.

We're doing "scene painting" in this one. We did that for a little while but then Tom nixed that. I guess I did too. But I kinda liked it. Call me an improv nerd. If you like the scene painting about the stranger let us know in your 5 star review.

Ok for this one we actually went outside because we thought it would be fun. We hiked up with our audio gear and didn't care that lots of regular people saw us recording a podcast in the woods. We hope you go on a hike and listen to this loudly over a bluetooth speaker so everyone can hear it.

By the way this is Tom writing the episode description. The picture is of me and Griffin near Mt Dana right outside Yosemite National Park. I'm in the orange hat and Griffin is in the blue hat. We did this hike after attending Mule Days in Bishop California, which is a 3-day Mule festival. It's very fun, but only for a day. So we did this beautiful hike instead. We don't talk about this in the episode, but this is the kind of bonus content you'll get from reading episode descriptions that I write.

Tom and Griffin explore the idea of education. You will listen to this and think "wow, they're still figuring it out a bit, but this is fun. I like to get to know about their personal experiences in Americas wild and crazy education system. I am driving my car right now, or possibly doing chores around the house"

Or something like that.
