When a Sicilian and Texan decide to hash out their views and try to give excitement along with the ever-constant story that is called life. Peace. Love. But most of all opinions!
This episode Ben and Lucas decide to discuss the existential crisis that might just be plausible, the Simulation Argument. Tangents were had and panic will set in but they delve into one of the more prominent hypotheses of creation today. Below you will find source links to all the information used to help these two below-average humans understand a surface learning of the concepts that have driven Nick Bostrom's 2003 journal article "Are we Living in a Computer Simulation." Ben has been defeated by his beloved Rams, Lucas is excited to find out where Dana White has his informal Fight Island, and Trump takes hydroxychloroquine.

This episode Ben and Lucas travel down the path of very strong opinions and formulate some more as they discuss some current events that have been outside the COIVD-19 spectrum, why they did not put out an episode last week, who is the better studio - Disney or Warner Bros., why Looney Tunes are better and finish with a crazy slap fight scene from "My Name is Nobody" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP11jDHwX98.
Howdy,This episode brings together Ben and Lucas on another topical journey, this time going down a rabbit hole of dopamine dumps, cortisol shots, and other metabolic processes that 'confirm' playing a video game professionally is a sport. Listen to the draft recap and how proud or disappointed they are for their favorite team, why bleach is good to inject, and how CNN just won't ask the tough question.Ending on a western clip that is one everyone must watch, it is amazing.You can email the guys with ideas, concerns, feedback, whatever you want at spaghetti.westernpod@gmail.com.

Ben and Lucas go down a current event's tangent about Biden and his alleged victim(s), M.J.'s new sports documentary, NFL Draft first 5 picks, some eSports because Ben loves his Cloud9 team, and then rant about the creativity that's been lost in Hollywood due to the quick money grab of doing a remake.Note we are still working out kinks in our audio so there is some vocal fry during the portion Ben is describing the clip Lucas is going to watch but does Lucas take it a direction no one sees coming.
Today Ben and Lucas go through the current events, Bernie dropping out, Biden's pseudodementia, NBA potential cancellation, a virus thing, and some random ramblings about the NFL. Then, inspired by Tom Segura's new stand up special on Netflix "Ball Hog" they take a deep look into the 16th President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte and his "death squads".
