Getting Kicked Out Of A Monastery (Episode #171 - Meanderings)
About this episode
What are some steps that one could take to get expelled from a monastery in a plausibly deniable way? In this episode of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: why it might be useful to be less serious at work, how inefficient we all actually are at our jobs, why Nike was inspired by the last words of a death row inmate, the fun times of chimpanzees in cars and usefulness of anteaters, sweating/farting/scaring & annoying meditators while on retreat, Leslie Nelson's 'Naked Gun' movies and the hilarity of stonks.
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
