  • We need our hero Dax & Monica

    Dax and Moni, thank you for the work you do. As a Michigander I love the callouts! (Traverse City/Elk Lake native living in NY - I would def vote for you to be the Cherry Festival Grand Marshall ;). Just listened to the Nate Bergatze interview and I thought I’d take a chance and post. I understand in these incredibly divisive times, you want to appeal to all and not alienate people on either end of the political spectrum. However, it feels as though we are in a moment that transcends politics. A... more

  • Don’t let Meta use you Dax!

    Overall this show is great. It was tragic to have the head of Instagram come on and pretend like they don’t have extensive research about the harm the platform does and yet choose to do nothing. Embarrass for the show to allow themselves to be used this way.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Emily & Matt Hyland (Emily Burger)
Q: What were the biggest challenges in scaling Emily's to multiple locations while maintaining culture?
Balancing front-of-house and back-of-house operations, keeping a cohesive menu across 30 locations, and implementing training at scale with a corporate team while preserving the intimate, homey ethos of the original restaurants.
Emily & Matt Hyland (Emily Burger)
Q: How did your early experiences shape the decision to open a pizza place instead of sticking with traditional culinary paths?
Their hands-on stage work and a desire to own a business with a strong, personal identity led them to pivot from conventional culinary routes to opening a Brooklyn-based restaurant focused on pizza, community, and a signature sauce that defined the brand.
Michael Pollan Returns (on consciousness)
Q: What is consciousness, and why is it hard to define scientifically?
Consciousness is the subjective experience and first-person point of view that scientific methods struggle to quantify, because science is primarily third-person and objective, while consciousness is inherently private and qualitative.
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)
Q: How did your early life shape your interest in neuroscience and AI?
The guest describes growing up in unstable foster care settings, using academic and technical interests as a way to cope, which gradually evolved into a focus on how the brain computes and learns, ultimately guiding his career toward computational neuroscience and AI.
Amir Levine (on attachment theory)
Q: What is attachment theory and how does it apply to adults?
Attachment theory is a safety system rooted in early relationships; in adults, it manifests as anxious, avoidant, or secure patterns in how we seek closeness and respond to threat. These patterns can shift over time, especially with secure relationships and deliberate practices that strengthen security.
