Like it or not we are thinking, conscious, beings and that means we have responsibilities!

We have the worlds knowledge and ideas at our finger tips yet so often misinformation reigns supreme. Are we being manipulated by group ideologies? Or do we just live in a culture addicted to drama and scandal? Are we now so bad at having proper discussions that we don't even hear what's being said? Or ultimately does it just come down to pure laziness!? Let's go deeper in this award winning episode of the Uncle2Beers podcast.FUN FACT - Speaking of misinformation, did you know that bananas don't grow on trees? Technically they grow on a plant that is a herb and are actually a type of berry. They're also slightly radioactive. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

And why is Matt seemingly obsessed with the future of robotic genitalia!? All this and more in a surprisingly wide ranging conversation. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Our beloved internet has created a sea of filter bubbles that we're all drowning in! Can we pop these bringers of misinformation and have proper adult conversations online? Or are we doomed to an eternal cycle of drama and argument? At least Matt's disheartening encounter on Twitter had one positive; an entire podcast episode for you fine folks!
