One time only- drop culture! We talk its psychological implications on consumer behavior, the allure of limited releases, and the economics of contrived scarcity in marketing. The Doc analyzes historical examples of scarcity marketing, the influence of social media, and the value of dining experiences. Steve, Taylor and Kyle analyze how these factors contribute to consumer decisions and the emotional responses tied to purchasing behaviors.

We’re talking human behavior, communication, war, politics, and why violence keeps showing up in human history even when it makes absolutely no sense. From how language shapes the way we think and react, to how power, reinforcement, and political incentives keep conflict alive, we try to unpack what’s really driving it all. This conversation bounces between psychology, history, and modern global conflict — not from a “here’s the answer” place, but from a why do humans keep doing this? place. Along the way, we talk about: How communication and language shape behavior and social norms Why war is usually less about ideology and more about power and politics The role reinforcement plays in violence and conflict How historical events still influence modern warfare The ripple effects of war beyond the battlefield Why global cooperation matters if we actually want a more peaceful future We also spend time questioning whether war is inevitable—or if we’re just really bad at reinforcing alternatives that don’t involve destruction. If you’re into psychology, behavior analysis, history, politics, or just thinking critically about why humans do what they do, this one’s for you.

Happy Holidays! We talk all the holiday stuff—how different cultures see Santa, favorite Christmas movies, weird and fun traditions, festive foods, and even creepy myths like Krampus and how they influence behavior. We bounce around to Christmas traditions from all over the world, mixing in random personal stories and stuff we find interesting. It goes from why some people put spider ornaments on their trees, to the Icelandic Yule Lads, to that wild Catalonian pooping log. Mostly it’s just us joking around about food, family traditions, and all the strange (and awesome) ways people celebrate the holidays, and appreciating how different and fun it all is.
