  • 5 - Episode #005 - The Meaning of Life

    In today's episode, we ask what is the meaning of life. We'll explore various theories surrounding the meaning of life, as well as go over why this question is even important to ask. Oh, I also have a small existential crisis and head on a downward spiral while recording so enjoy that.

    (My voice is also kind of dying so ignore that)
