An adventure in wild ideas and wild behaviors, all to answer the question: Can acting like a Homo sapiens make you feel more human? We identify the fundamental evolved abilities programmed into our DNA, the things we were born to do, and then attempt to express them. Or something like that. It's usually a bit of a mess, but the truth is that our restoration project is working. Come join us. Hosted by a mostly mediocre writer named Billy Baker, and a definitely mediocre scientist named Dr. Jody Simoes, who allegedly has a Ph.D in something to do with fisheries and wildlife.Billy Baker and Jody Simoes

  • Exercising Immortality

    Exercising Immortality
    Jul 30 2026

    In ancient Greece, the terms "happy" and "blessed" were synonyms, and were used to mean "doing well." And when are you doing well? It's when you're flourishing. And according to Aristotle, people who lead flourishing lives are "exercising immortality." Got it?


    Billy and Doc discuss this and so much more, including the reaction of our ancient central nervous system to a new assessment category. We were designed to determine if another human was a threat and an ally. So how do we cope with all the people that are simply annoyances? We'll try to return a throw pillow to Home Goods to find out.

    Jun 24 2026

    We don't just evolve biologically. Culture also contributes to our evolution, but somewhere along the way we became stuck in Uncanny Valley, where our weird feels familiar and foreign at the same time, and with that comes unease. But don't worry, the boys have a solution. And it goes back to old Aristotle. Or something like that.

    The Cosmic Calendar, and our 90 minutes on New Year's Eve
    Jun 16 2026

    If you place the entire history of the cosmos, from the Big Bang until now, onto a single calendar year, the first humans don't arrive until 10:30 on Dec. 31. Everything we know about, everything in our history books, happens in the final 10 seconds, of the final minute, on the last day of the calendar. This show is about those 90 minutes.
