It is effective. It advances. But it proceeds only because night science exists. It is in the dark of night that science comes closest to its goals. It is there that it reveals itself, probing, groping, resting on intuition, on flashes of insight, on leaps into the unknown."This week comedian Shane Mauss travels to NYU Medical School to catch up with his friend Atia Yania as they have a...2025-02-042h 29InShanely CuriousHow Humans Survived Extinctions w/ Henry Gee (Senior Editor of Nature)In his latest book, The Decline and Fall of the Human Empire, British paleontologist, evolutionary biologist, and wry wordsmith Henry Gee examines humanity’s precarious journey on the tree of life.For millions of years, small groups of scrappy, upright apes have lived “one meal away from starvation and two meals away from extinction.” Yet, against all odds, humans went from extras in the drama of life to a lead role in Earth’s history.Join comedian Shane Mauss and scientist Henry Gee as they share laughs, insights, and philosophies about humanity's past, present, and future...2025-01-212h 01InShanely CuriousThe Feast of The ShaneShane Mauss shares the origin story of his interest in life’s origin story.A hobby of watching nature documentaries turned into a full-blown science obsession that sent Shane’s comedy career careening off the traditional stand-up path and onto a unique journey of getting to use humor to explore the hidden underpinnings seeding the tree of life.Happy Feast of The Ass!2025-01-112h 00

Shane went to a second and final event at Lake Side Retreats in Raleigh. This one was produced by Life Is Art Productions (who is also doing our campout festival). He was blown away.

On April 19th 79 years ago, Albert Hofmann had the first semi-intentional dose of Lysergic acid diethylamide. He then famously hopped on a bicycle, and the rest is dilated history. Since that bizarre day, it has changed the lives of countless people including Shane and Ramin’s. Oh yeah, it works! But experiences vary.

Mind Under MatterSeason 2The Upgraded Boys of Comedy™ reflect on completing their first year of the show.
We bring in the new season with new cameras, lighting, studio upgrades, and new features!
The UBC™ generally think it’s unrealistic to try to go from zero to 60 on any project, but something was special about Mind Under Matter. Shane, Ramin, Matt and Rhianna went above and beyond to make a nearly complete vision of our show from the beginning and most importantly, we stuck with it.

Mind Under MatterDOUG STANHOPEThe Starstruck Boys of Comedy™ welcome the legend as their very first guest on the show.
It’s the last episode of the first season of Mind Under Matter and we wanted to go out with one of the last of a dying breed.
Doug Stanhope built a cult following as one of the most authentic, debaucherous, smartest, edgiest, funniest comics who has ever lived. Well before podcasting and social media gave comedians more of a chance to take their career into their own hands, Doug broke the mold. He basically invented indie stand-up touring.

This week The Obliging Boys of Comedy™ dive back into the mailbag for a hilarious and thoughtful episode.
This is the second public Q&A episode and it’s safe to say that we will be making this a regular part of the show. From philosophical, to the pragmatic, to the absurd… our patrons’ and Instagram followers’ questions killed it once again!!2022-03-212h 04

Mind Under MatterSo Many HatsThe Working Boys of Comedy™ go job hunting!
We thought we would kick the year off with a job placement survey and explore the paths we may have been suited for had we not been destined to make the world’s greatest podcast.
We honestly were not at all expecting something from The Department of Labor to be so much fun, but this might be the best survey episode yet. We hope you enjoy Shane’s laugh because it turns out, Ramin is well-suited for a job as a Job Imp...2022-01-041h 48
Mind Under MatterRuminating on RuminationThe Looping Thought Boys of Comedy™ ruminate on why we dwell on the past.
Shane had an embarrassing little incident recently and wanted to share how dumb he feels about it while it’s still fresh.
What are the things that we continue to ruminate on and why? What are the factors the brain is using when determining what past events are worth holding onto and reminding you of? Are those embarrassing thoughts we kick ourselves for useful? Even if they are useful, do they really need to be so pain...2021-11-221h 43
Mind Under MatterUniversal Consciousness?The Universal Boys of Comedy™ explore consciousness.
In this episode, Shane and Ramin debate the idea of universal consciousness. Is consciousness a product of the brain, a fundamental aspect of the universe, both, or somewhere in-between?
Every month we let Patreon suggest the subject for one of our public episodes. This month Patron
Stuart Brazewell’s suggested we get down to the bottom of one of the biggest philosophical questions in human history. Challenge accepted!

Mind Under MatterOrigins of HalloweenThe Spooky Voids and Visionaries of Comedy™ release the first of two Halloween episodes.
This week Shane and Ramin get dressed up in their finest morph suits to discuss the origins and evolution of Halloween.
How did seasonal change influence the morbid themes of this centuries-old tradition? How did the ancient practices of witchcraft go from being the respected, genderneutral medical care of the time to the demonization of women? How much was the black plague a catalyst for the unimaginably horrifying witch trials of the Middle Ages?

Shane recently had a wonderful mushroom trip that he was trying to use as a reset before Sober October. In the process he started getting back into meditation, so we thought it was the perfect time to explore the topic.

In a heroic display of attention, Shane and Ramin somehow made it through an extremely short survey with only going off on 14,000 tangents.

Mind Under MatterMy Big BreakThe Broken Boys of Comedy™ compare non-war wounds.
Years ago Shane broke both of his feet while hiking. He made an entire comedy album about it called ‘My Big Break’. At the time Shane went on a bunch of podcasts to tell the story, but it’s been years since the incident and many new fans probably don’t know the full story.
These salient moments can sometimes change our life trajectory. Upon reflection sometimes it can feel like something that helped one grow and learn, other times it’s just a pain in the foot.

Mind Under MatterOut Of DisorderThe Nonspecific Amplifiers Of Comedy™ do their second psychedelic episode.
The first time Shane and Ramin did an episode about everyone’s favorite subject, they went off on so many tangents and down so many rabbit holes that they had to do a second episode with digression-filled entheogen conversation.
This time The NAC™ discuss tripping in groups vs alone, synchronicities going too far, social media as a drug, and the kind of DMs one gets when they are known for psychedelic use.

Is there any scientific validity to the health benefits of having one glass of wine per day? Shane’s never tried it, but he will try to recall some of the science, history, and evolution of alcohol.
How does state-dependent memory influence tolerance? Do other primates enjoy getting drunk as much as we do? Why is alcohol such a popular and inhibiting mind-altering substance?

Mind Under MatterAdulthoodThe Adult Men of Comedy™ continue the conversation of development across lifespans by discussing becoming an adult not just in humans but other species as well.
For humans in modern societies, turning 18 is a strange and abrupt change. One day you are a dependent with limited freedoms and rights, the next day you are legally considered an adult who can vote, gamble, watch porn, move away from your parents, have sex, smoke cigarettes, join the military, get credit cards, get married, and depending on where you live maybe even smoke weed or drink alcohol.

Mind Under MatterSweet 16The Coming of Age Boys Of Comedy™ celebrate their Sweet 16th episode.
Our Mind Under Matter baby is growing up so fast!
To celebrate, we talk about juvenile development across the animal kingdom. Difficulty self-regulating, rebellion, awkward courtship, risk-taking, and popularity contests… sound familiar? What can humans learn about our own teen years from looking across species?
The COABOC™ share stories of their own from that period of time and reflect on the way

Mind Under MatterPersonality TestsThe Guinea Pigs of Comedy™ take a personality test!
Shane and Ramin go through the Big 5 Personality Indicator questionnaire so you can hear how we rate on various traits. Along the way, we explore why the 'Big 5' uses extraversion, agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism as the umbrella terms that all other traits fall under.
We chat about why most modern personality researchers abandoned the Myers-Briggs Test long ago. We also talk about the role of both evolution and environment in shaping the diversity of human personality and why th...2021-06-282h 03
Mind Under MatterA Brief History Of Human FictionsThe Fictitious Fictional Fictions of Funny™ explore the way that imagination and storytelling have shaped human evolution.
This week Ramin reveals his latest impression as we pay tribute to author, historian, and YouTube neighbor Yuval Noah Harari.
We tend to think the objective realities such as accumulating resources and the use of tools have put humans at the top of the food chain, but those abilities aren’t exactly novel in the animal kingdom. Perhaps what sets humans apart is our ability to communicate, organize, and cooperate around subjective reali...2021-06-141h 39
Mind Under Matter"I Know a Crazy!"The Middle-Aged Super Mature Grown-Up Men of Comedy™ celebrate Shane’s 41st birthday the only way they know how… by dissecting it tirelessly!
Shane metaphorically jumps out of his own birthday cake to share some birthday memories.
Pro-tip: If you want to make a birthday memorable, get the police involved.
Being over the hill might remind some of mortality, but knowing you probably have to grind out another 40+ years of existence can drive a person insane. Sometimes it feels like you’re aging like fine wine, other times life feels like an LS...2021-05-242h 11

How hard is it to smuggle psychedelics through an airport while on 2CB for your first time? Apparently, it’s somehow less complicated than beard maintenance.
During a manic episode, Shane was once banned from looking at Ramin’s art and/or anything related to time travel.

Mind Under MatterFunhouse Mirrors of ConsciousnessThis week we start out with what our minds have led us to believe is a 120% accurate exploration of the evolution of self-deception.
Your MUMsters of Ceremony™ consider how the ability to deceive and detect deception in others has shaped how we systematically deceive ourselves in testable ways.
They laugh about how new insights can unlock an embarrassing cascade of memories that lead to beautifully cringey epiphanies. Crying can feel like a drug, but don't get hooked... forcing that much-needed cry is perhaps the second most awkward therapeutic release.

Mind Under MatterPlanet of the Indecisive ApesThe Sad Boys of Comedy Podcasting™ capture the moment they came up with the show title while discussing the evolution of depression.
Anxiety can keep us out of danger, but what utility might depression have? If it doesn’t have utility, why is it pervasive in so many species? If it is so bad for us, why hasn’t evolution gotten rid of it? If it’s good for us, why does it suck so much?
Sometimes other primates experience depression after losing a fight and that might keep them from making the same mistake. Sometimes th...2021-04-191h 34
Mind Under MatterSummiting Mt. NowhereAs social animals, we tend to overemphasize the strength of someone’s beliefs more than the substance of the actual belief itself.
Ramin talks about the two extreme sides of the motivational coin… carrots and sticks… bootstrappers and manifestors. We explore how dogma gets in the way of otherwise useful tips.
Shane shares some basics of what he has learned about habit forming from scientists and why spring is such a better time for resolutions than New Year’s Eve.
