Summary

We start the day by talking to Ruth Edmonds, who is running in the GOP primary to represent Ohio's 15th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Edmonds is a stalwart Christian and conservative, and crucially, she plans to actually fight for those ideals in the halls of Congress. Then, we move to a fun topic to close out the week: conspiracy theories. Weirdly, the "Flat Earth" theory is somehow gaining traction in some Christian circles, despite not really being supported by Scripture, let alone basic science. We talk about some other strange theories that listeners brought to our attention, like where missing socks really go or what's really going on with Joe Biden. Someone even had a theory about Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, which leads to a discussion on her seemingly abrupt withdrawal from the competition. --- Today's Sponsor: Good Ranchers products are individually wrapped, vacuum sealed, & ready to grill (which helps eliminate waste!).

And we do every week because there's so much going on.

0:26.8

But I was talking to the relatable team about, I don't know, just the need to laugh and

0:32.7

to not always be thinking about politics.

0:35.3

Even though I really, really want to shake people out of complacency and apathy and get

0:39.2

people to pay attention, the fact of the matter is is that we can't always be focusing

0:43.4

on serious and scary and existential stuff all of the time because it just weighs our

0:49.3

brain down.

0:50.3

I think it can induce anxiety.

0:52.8

I think it can also make us feel falsely that we have to be omniscient.

0:58.0

We have to know everything all the time.

1:00.0

We have to be omnipresent.

1:01.0

We have to be everywhere.

1:02.0

We have to be omnipresent.

1:03.0

We have to be able to control everything and we can't.

1:04.8

And so bearing the weight of the world on our shoulders by constantly consuming the news,

1:11.5

it can just be exhausting.
