Progress

The boys clash heads as they discuss human progress, and question the methods of defining and assessing it. There's no space to take a mental break as the two fire on all cylinders from the start. How do we know the difference between "progress" and "change”? Are things truly better now than they were a thousand years ago? How far has science actually gotten us? Speaking of science, Micah finds out by experimentation that Thomas is ticklish.

Lying

We've all lied, and some of us do it a bit habitually. Micah and Thomas discuss what it means to lie, the value of intent, and when it might be acceptable to tell a bit of a fib...if that ever is acceptable. Thomas also admits during a round of "Two Truths and a Lie" that he has recently urinated on a carpet...the reasons for which he explains in excruciating detail. Amidst the kerfuffle, the two mates talk seriously about times they've lied...

Misunderstanding

What seems to be a harmless conversation on communication quickly turns into an emotional chopping block as the boys discuss each other's worst qualities. Thomas slaps Micah several times, as the boys are in hilarious disarray. Plus, the two discuss their mutual love of music and its creation, and the fear of risking it all in the name of passion. Micah also gives dating advice to an unknown teen in the "Mailbag".

Advice

Micah and Thomas give some advice on giving advice. They carefully walk through four important checkpoints, in order to determine the "do's" and "don'ts" of those situations we've all been in. Picture this: your friend comes to you in a panic. It's her dad. He broke her hairbrush again. She asks what she should do. Should she call child protective services (even though she's 26), or is this a sign that she should switch to a more uncombed and 2-days-a-week shampoo and coconut oil conditioner rit...

Individualism/Communalism

The Deep Drive takes on a weighty and controversial topic as Micah and Thomas discuss two popular ideals in the light of international conflict. Individualism, in its extreme form, tends to ignore the downtrodden and oppressed, while communalism in its most intense form can oppress the very freedoms that make us human, and forms an idealistic sense of community that doesn't actually exist. Amidst these difficult discussions, Thomas apparently believes that many penguins died in the Gulf of Mexic...

Authenticity

In this first episode of Season 2, Micah and Thomas work with a new upgraded show format as they argue over the meaning and value of being authentic. The boys go head-to-head in cross examination, condemn Jack the Ripper, and reach into the mail bag to announce some exciting news!

Money - (livestream recording)

In this special livestream recording, the boys discuss the benefits and dangers of money, and why spending our lives chasing it can lead to irreparable damage. They answer questions from livestream participants, and attempt to reconcile the divisive ideals of wealth, mediocrity, and poverty.

Embarrassment

A lighthearted conversation on why we're afraid to look bad. Plus, Thomas is quizzed on Christmas trivia, and Micah realizes mid-recording that his embarrassing story might still come to haunt him in the near future.

TIMEEEEEeeeeeeee

Time is scary. And it puts so much pressure on us. And we all conform to society's standards of what we should do with the time we have. But why? Also, the boys sing that song that goes: "(Ooga, shaka, ooga ooga, ooga shaka, ooga ooga) I can't stop this feeling, deep inside of me, girl you just don't realize, what you do to me".

Addiction

Chances are you're addicted to something. The boys try to tackle a controversial topic that spans the broad terrain of addictions; everything from sexual and substance reliance, to "workaholism" and the surprise king of addictions... Micah admits to having had past, not-so-terrible but not-so-beneficial addictions, while Thomas tries to explain how devastating an addiction to film-making can be.

Reputation

Taylor Swift’s album? No. Instead, it’s Tom Hanks doing ballerina. Also, what even is a reputation, and is it worth worrying about? A massive discussion that has the potential to influence how you view yourself, and steps to take to stop living in your own shadow. Thomas makes fun of Micah (again), while Micah day-dreams about taking smoke breaks in the middle of a shift. Ok, not quite.

FOMO

We get it if you're sad that you weren't invited to the party, but Micah and Thomas have a sneaking suspicion that FOMO (fear of missing out) is a problem that almost everyone, young and old, suffers from. The boys tell some tragic stories (not really that tragic though), and get quizzed on the FOMO stats. Plus, the confusion and banter about Micah's unreadable "sense of humor" continues as Thomas struggles to call it out...

Intro

Micah and Thomas discuss fake kindness, vegan sausage rolls, digital affirmation, and their "fraught" relationship. The American and British mates show their unique distinctions as individuals, all the while laughing at what will inevitably be the most entertaining conversation of the week.
