Episode 126: You Just Got Learned!

Summary: Episode 126: You Just Got Learned!: In this our 126th episode of the Braingasm Podcast class is in session and we learn all kinds of fun things.  We began as we do every week by telling the story of the one armed hand model (he’s our greatest inspiration).  After that we discussed the upcoming parting of ways between Zack and his hand.  Following that we talked about Ben’s being a poor S.O.B. This segued naturally into a discussion of linguistics and the philosophy of language. This gave way to an in-depth discussion of the philosophical concept of identity (not a joke). We also talked about Quantum Physics, metaphysics, and a bunch of other smarty-pants stuff. Trust me it was fun, and we will do more of this stuff in the future (which according to some theories is an abstract concept which by definition cannot actually exist, and according to other theories is merely a different point along an all-existing time spectrum similar to the concept of spatial distance).  After that we discussed Ben’s recent fascination with Mary Poppins, which he realized while watching Saving Mr. Banks that he had never seen. He discussed the movie itself through the lens of having watched it, as well as Saving Mr. Banks, and the documentary on the Sherman Brothers entitled The Boys. If you are a Poppins newbie or a Poppins Pro you should find something to like about this discussion. This was probably the smartest episode we’ve ever done. I feel smarter having been it. I hope that you learned something as well, as we will keep teaching if you’ll let us.  Buy The Niagara Comedy CD Spectacular http://goo.gl/Y1gX0 Get A Free Audiobook from Audible.com Free Trial Offer Follow us on Twitter: @benwhipps @ohhsugar @braingasmpod Official Website: Braingasmpodcast.com Check out our Facebook Page Subscribe on iTunes Buy a T-shirt
