Nice Things are Nice
This was totally unplanned and intended as a test recording, but we kinda liked most of it, albeit a bit awkward, so we figured to throw you guys in the deep end. In this episode we unpack our world view, discuss social norms, a traditional lifestyle and question humanity. So our pilot podcast is a bit of a mess, there is a lot of awkward silence, some arbitrary tangents and totally random discussions with a bit of backgammon and splifs along the way. Please excuse all the sniffles and the unashamed talk about drugs. We promise it’ll get better.
