Ever talked with someone and you feel like you're just spinning wheels?

In Episode #433 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: the definition of pseudo and interactive communication, why it matters to have etiquette whilst conversing, Tim F/Sam Harris/Joe Rogan, passion and hearing the things that people don't say, what it was like to talk to a lawyer (Trevor Bell), work arguments that are a distortion of reality and my sliding scale of sham.

Huge thanks to Dave Jones, Joe Martin Music, Balderdash Boys & Cole McCormick for the boostagrams. Your support means the world to us!
