PODCAST

The Toothless Podcast

Belief does not subdue fact and some beliefs are worth understanding. || Not an expert, but damn curious! This podcast tackles questions on everything from religion and philosophy to history, science (and pseudo), even a whole lotta fiction, from the perspective of the permanent layman, Matt the Toothless Philosopher. I’ll be joined by my real life brother the one and only Mike the Mad Monk, potentially other guests, or just the voices in my head. Hope you enjoy!

Elevating a Guard Rail to a Center Line (sure, that makes sense). Also, this literally consists of two recordings - I got interrupted during the first session and continued the following day.Today’s Guard Rail(s): “We’re All People” & “The Love of Money…” & “I Might Be Wrong”

People are where they are, but that doesn’t mean they’re correct. Also, inaction is an action. Trump and his administration are greedy and uncaring. I know, shocking. Hoarding wealth is nonsensical and cruel. They weren’t eating the pets, but old people could end up eating cat food if DOGE succeeds to kill Social Security. Amazon is run by brutally selfish people, but they’re cheap and available and I’m not rich so I’m as stuck as anyone else. Today’s Guard Rail(s): “What’s Your Metric?” &

Ironically, this one sounds like I was bouncing off the rails… Tried some different editing settings to cut out random pauses - I sound insane. Apologies for the quickness of this one. Today’s talk includes how to be colorblind and drive, Trump is still trying to destroy this country, I’ve been working in technology forever, and I continue to discuss the idea of guard rails. Today’s Guard Rail(s): “Always Be Curious” & “Be Skeptical Not Contrarian” & “It’s Probably Not About You” &

This one... This one feels a little rougher around the edges than I would normally prefer to share, but I don't have a ton of interest in pretending like I don't say things that may or may not get me in trouble. This goes into topics about children and religion, and was recorded before the Guard Rails series begins and is an unintentional precursor. I won't be pushing this one out via Substack, because I don't want to force this on everybody. I still accept feedback, but know this one is more anger

Starting to try to flesh out more of my personal philosophy. It's not perfect, but this is what happens you try to think and communicate while also driving. I mean no harm or disrespect, but please tell me if you feel otherwise so I can make corrections or clarifications. Today's Guard Rail :: "Consent In All Things"

Sorry for the gap. Today's discussion is largely about the brain and about identity. What makes us who we are? Are we always responsible for all our actions? Do I answer these questions?

Getting back on track. Spent a week in the hospital. Trump's back in office. All in all, 2025 sucks. Trying to figure out where I need to fit into that for myself and for any of you coming along for the ride.

Be grateful to your circle, whatever size, whatever shape. If you have the strength of will, push those boundaries, but never forget not everyone can do what you do or sustain what you've sustained. Be compassionate to one another.

Sorry about some of the audio quality... This one isn't as rage-filled as the other one, but it feels a little meandering to me. Got inspired while trying to sleep and had to deal with it. Few points of clarification: Gandhi did do the thing I said with his grand-niece which makes it weirder, but he was actually firmly anti-racist as he got older. The cross was likely a T but could have been an X - both letters were used. Margaret Sanger was NOT explicit a racist but she did operate in a time where

TRIGGER WARNING: I talk about some horrible things related to Israel/Palestine, domestic assault, race relations in the US, and trans people existing (which they do and should). It's really just me hating on hate. It's mostly me ranting, so if you're after something constructive, feel free to skip it. Also, the phrase I couldn't think of was "Delayed Gratification."
