Nico and Shane are joined by Shannon Braswell to share their opinions about the newly enthroned Robert Provost (Pope Leo XIV).

The New Pope stated that he was inspired to take the name Leo after Pope Leo XIII (reigned from 1878 to 1903), the founder of Catholic Social Teaching. The guys look at Pope Leo XIII's encyclical Rerum Novarum, that established Catholic Social Teaching. The encyclical articulates a stance on Economics (the responsibilities between the working classes, managerial classes, wealthy, and the state) along with the Church's stance on the role of Women, and the dignity of the Family Unit.

In a brief conversation, the guys hash this out.

Nico and Shane are joined by Shannon Braswell to discuss the founding of Feminism (Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin). The conversation ends up broadly discussing the Evolution of Religion in America (Mainly Protestantism's stages of development), Unitarianism, the Fall of Adam and Eve from the Garden, Christian Gender Roles, all interwoven within a greater conversation about Feminism.

Nico and Shane analyze the tariff situation between the United States and China. They break things down in terms of Food, Energy, Manufacturing Capacity, and each country's ability to sustain itself.

Join Nico and Shane as they explore the new discoveries beneath the Pyramids of Giza! Structures, Chambers, and Tunnels stretching at least half a mile deep were detected using radio-imaging technology. This exploration expands into a greater conversation about the Antediluvian World (the World prior to the Flood of Noah) and whether Pyramids are a type seed left behind from that world or even possibly a type of technology. Plato and his account of Atlantis are recollected.

Nico and Shane talk about what the Trump Victory means for America's Future. They discuss the possibilities regarding the Panama Canal and Greenland too.

In this very special Christmas Episode, Nico and Shane were joined by Justin Lewis, founder of Turtle Hat Kava.

The conversation begins with a discussion and taste of Kava (History, Culture, and Myth). Justin explains what life is like on the islands that grow Kava and how different it is from the West. This comparison, ushers in an analysis of Western Culture and an examination of "what went wrong?" Everything from Social Engineering during the World Wars to the Normalization of Trauma in American Life are discussed.

Kava is an exotic drink from the South Pacific, starting it's cultural ascent in the United States. It's like a relaxing coffee; a coffee that calms. Justin's Organization imports Kava from small farms in the Pacific, most of whom he personally knows and regularly visits. These Kava Farmers use traditional methods of cultivation, no chemicals or pesticides. Turtle Hat Kava is the farmer's representative stateside.

Nico, Shane, and Sebastian discuss the Founding of Feminism (1759 to 1797), by examining the life of the first Feminist; Mary Wollstonecraft.

An investigation of her life reveals the fact that Modern Feminism, in many ways, is a near perfect reflection of her traumas, struggles, and radical beliefs.
