RPRT31 | Two Dudes Farting Around (w/ Lance & Mike)
Right Place Right Time, episode… who even knows. Today’s lesson, class, involves Mike and Lance, who have clearly decided that the mature, enlightening topic of “Top 5 Farts and Butts” was worth a full segment of your time. Yes, that’s right. Instead of meaningful discourse, we were treated to a juvenile fascination with bodily functions. Oh, the intellectual heights they aim for.Next up, they attempt to discuss “What Heaven Looks Like,” as if the theological implications of the afterlife could be competently addressed by these two. Spoiler alert: their heaven probably looks like the inside of a comic book shop, because, yes, they veered into comic book nerdom once again. Somehow, they’re trying to convince you it’s all about “finding story.”Speaking of story—if you can call it that—there’s a lot of talk about editing. Apparently, they’ve stumbled enough in life and podcasting to think that fumbling around is an essential part of the creative process. “What you learn from stumbling” is the key takeaway here, as though their very inability to stick to one topic is somehow insightful.In summary, children, today’s lesson from Mike and Lance is this: even the most absurd meandering conversation can be stretched into something resembling entertainment. I suppose we can consider this a lesson in persistence… if nothing else.---------------------------------Music by Mitch Murder►Buy tix: www.eventbrite.com/e/nightingale-t…f=ebdsshcopyurl►Mike Pecci's IG: instagram.com/mikepecci►Lance's Instagram: www.instagram.com/golancego/►Dylan's IG; www.instagram.com/dylan_coates/►ILWP's IG: instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspod Hosted on Acast.
