The stories often seem too perfect ("...and then the doberman was choking...on the burglar's finger!"); the reassurance it's fact is shoddy at best ("I'm serious -- it's true! It happened to my cousin's best friend's boss' daughter's tuba … [Continue reading]
In the Identity episode, we chatted a bit about identity and tattoos -- how they can tell a story or carry a visual reference of how people identify with who they are and the world around them. Not sure there's a better example of that than this … [Continue reading]
Some people do things because they enjoy it; others do things because they feel entitled. Like anything, entitlement can push one to greatness...or make them one of the most annoying people you may ever meet. This week, we feel entitled to talk about … [Continue reading]
One year ago, we loaded the very first episode of the Men in Gorilla Suits podcast. Since that day, we've produced a weekly show without fail...in large part because we live by our motto: "Chill the fuck out, and make the damn thing!" We've made 53 … [Continue reading]
