Summary
On this week’s episode of Battle Ready, Erwin McManus and Aaron McManus discuss what has been ‘wasting their time.’ And before we assume this is by nature a bad thing, Erwin assures is that being entertained and taking time to enjoy things is not necessarily always a waste. It can fuel us. And in some ways it can simply stop us from going (completely) crazy.
While sharing about their favorite shows and documentaries, Erwin emphasizes that what we watch is usually a reflection of us and our passions. The McManus duo express their feeling of loss over sports being paused and how we are currently reflecting a lot on past moments in culture because there ‘isn’t much to talk about,’ as Erwin stated.
Whether in sports, politics or entertainment, there will always be greatness and scandal. Aaron poses the question-why we chose to listen to mediocre voices when there are fascinating voices with something to say. Erwin shares that in some ways, we have come to despise greatness as it can feel like it calls out everyone else.
In this week’s episode, we learn how to and how not to waste our time. We can’t wait to hang with you. Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE!
