After recording without Mal last week (which she graciously calls her "favorite episode yet"), we’re pleased as peaches all three of us could be back together to run through a bunch of headlines that promised more than they delivered.
Oh, except for the giant squid. That thing was awesome.
Episode Highlights:
* Tom declines to share details about his past life (and promises to tell us off-air, which he did by the way — in case you needed a little envy on your way in)
* A clickbait article called "Is This The Tomb of Jesus?" about….some pollen
* So we take a detour into the history of Jesus's purported burial sites worldwide, including claims in Japan where locals believe Jesus fled across Siberia, became a rice farmer, and died at age 106. No, we’re not making this up.
* The first-ever footage of a living colossal squid, captured 600 meters beneath the sea by a research vessel — actually as cool as it sounds
* We know nothing about our oceans
* Mal worries we’ll get bored by all the fantastic discoveries. Jordan suggests that “boredom is a choice”
* A comically underwhelming story about "strange writing in the desert"
* This inspired a conversation about pareidolia — our tendency to see meaningful patterns (like faces) in random stimuli
* Has the balance shifted in the West? Are the materialists now in a shrinking minority?
* How to face difficult times with spiritual centering
* Developing "cosmic trust" even when life feels like being a fish "ripped out of the water, tagged, and thrown back in" (a metaphor courtesy of Kelly Chase, friend of the show)
* Tarot's Tower card: sometimes structures must fall to make way for something better
