Meta Middle:

Event though the first idea is often criticized the most, is it the most crucial?

A friend of ours lent a bike to another friend of ours who then got 4 flats in a row. Was this just a simple stroke of luck? And more than that what is that cause of luck in general? We debate.

Are people afraid to change sides in an argument because they would be stupid or thought of less intelligent than the person they were arguing with?

Current Conclusion:

Matt crow bars a family eye sore making way for a beautiful continuous yard.

Rylan helps Brian move out of his ancestral home.

Rylan turns 21.

COVID-19 and its lasting implications on American culture and history.

The uncertainty of finals dates at The Great University of Maryland

Stay tuned for the ending with a classic line from Matt that captures the host listener dynamic of Three Minutes of Meditation.
