Hoo-wee! Another rootin' tootin' tumble in the desert with our cowboy and sheriff combo Ian and Diana. Our prickly yet lovable cohosts break the ice by talking about updates, neurodivergence, masking, and ideas on childhood and parenting as (and for!) atypicals. The Arizona elections were a doozy, here at home. Diana and Ian talk about their state and the broad election trends for 2022. Meta had a bunch of layoffs, and the Feds seized over 50,000 hacked bitcoin this week. While these topics are exciting, our most moving story this week is about how corporations used the cover of inflation to h ..read more

Don't shoot! It's me. Diana and Ian give us some updates, talk about skill mastery, then share some art stories before getting to the main subject of the episode: guns. Ian tells us about how Mexico has filed a federal lawsuit against five Arizona gun shops, then Diana complicates the story by covering the recent Guacamaya leak that showed the Mexican government is supplying weapons to the cartels. With the masses arming and the wicked uniting, it's no surprise a University of Arizona sociologist just won a genius grant to study gun culture. Diana and Ian talk about this, drugs, and a couple o ..read more

In a drunken haze, Ian brings up the controversy of numbers 11 and 12, which Diana helps him rename. The duo loosely discusses humility and meritocracy, then springboards into conversation on gendered clothing, parenting, teaching, education, art, drawing and writing, music (I wrote that one diagonally), and the sad reality of adults punching down on kids' dreams. The two are unsure if they want to have kids. Looking back to the past, they point out the cruelty of religious conquest and cultural appropriation. Diana seeks to reclaim her ancestral source while Ian is questioning social activism ..read more

Diana tells us about China's overfishing, underreporting, and encroachment of territory in international waters. You like water? Well, Ian briefly covers the shock, awe, and impact hurricane Ian has made thus far on the eastern seaboard. In ..read more

Diana and Ian are talking about the founder of Patagonia who gave away his shares to fight climate change, a tentative deal to avert a rail strike, the special master appointed in Trump's ongoing Mar-a-Lago case, and an El Paso teacher who was fired for telling students to call pedophiles “minor-attracted persons” this week. We get some personal updates on the couple, including their latest details on diet and exercise. The two ponder what kind of creature an extrovert is, how to make millions of dollars, robot conspiracies (as usual), and even etch out a few dating and relationship clichés be ..read more
