This time out Peter (comedian) and Kayla (yoga teacher) chat about The Bible (don’t get put off yet!). They discuss the differences in the tones of the gospels and why that may be, gospels and Bible books that didn’t make the canon, Jesus as a moral philosopher, how Christianity's malleability meant it could move with the enlightenment, miracles, Paul vs Jesus, the historical accuracy of the nativity, whether modern Christians really believe in the virgin birth and resurrection, the problems with translation of ancient texts, religions and churches as successful memes and evolutionarily successful ideas, Tom Holland and the idea that all Western civilisation is culturally Christian, if humans rights, the abolition of slavery and the climate movement have all been based on a Christian framework, and whether societal moral progress is a solely Christian idea or if Eastern traditions have something to say about this. Plus there’s some other stuff on having to fact check literally everything these days, the trouble with having humans as role models and whether it is now totally uncool to be on TV.

Our yoga teacher and stand-up comedian duo once again meet up to chat over a hot drink. This time it's about whether we've lacked unifying cultural references since 1997, and then there's a long discussion about laughter. They discuss why we laugh in certain settings, why one person falling over might be funny but another person falling isn't, the concept of punching up and down, comedy or laughters use in breaking tension and creating in/out group dynamics. Why we fear being laughed at, embarrassment, involuntary noises in yoga classes, self-deprecation as a tool, being addicted to getting laughs, laughter yoga, laughters health benefits, experiencing transcendent moments as part of a group and how that can turn dark, dignity, true confidence and the lies in Jurassic Park.

The yoga teacher Kayla McCormack and the comedian Peter Brush return to chat about the hips, memory and the perception of time. Discussion includes stuff on hip anatomy, flexibility, whether emotions are really stored in our hips as some in the yoga community believe, the fallibility of our memories, repressed memories and the scandal of the recovered memory movement, Freud, when we form our fundamental beliefs, if our political opinions and morals are formed around hardwired personality traits, whether it's harder to change our minds on things in the internet age when we all have a written record of our past opinions, if time really does speed up as we get older and why, plus there's a stupid joke about Eartha Kitt.

Peter and Kayla (a yoga teacher and a stand-up comedian) chat about what EFT tapping is, and its possible therapeutic benefits. Also discussed are acupuncture and meridian lines, Chinese medicine, how the geography of a region may affect the culture of the people who live there, echinacea, placebos and the problem of self-reporting in medical studies, limiting beliefs, the genuine positive effects of priming in a yoga class, and what those ancestry websites are doing with all of our DNA. Also Peter scratches his car and due to his meditation practise is definitely not dwelling on it and barely mentions it continuously throughout the episode.

Phew, that was a mouthful. So yeah, loads of stuff this month, hope you enjoy.
