I continue my debate with Blake Giunta. Can an immaterial mind even exist? Seems ridiculous to me, but let’s see what Blake has to say about that! Then, I do a bit of a post-mortem on the debate, as well as discuss several listener comments. Thanks for all the feedback and participation!

This week I have an apologist on for my second debate! Blake Giunta was a recent guest on Dogma Debate where he attempted to talk philosophy while 3 people completely rejected the very legitimacy of philosophy. I’ve promised him that won’t happen here though! Blake’s impressive website.  Blake’s twitter: @BlakeGiunta

It sounds like the plot of a James Bond film: Some shadowy supervillain holds the world for ransom while threatening to destroy civilization with an earthquake, floods or volcanic eruptions. But some believe that humanity has more control over Earth's than ever before. Why? Could someone really create a natural disaster -- and use it as a weapon? Learn more with Ben and Matt.

In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys are solo jamming on a topic very near and dear to at least one of their hearts: MUSIC FESTIVALS. From the small good ones (Waverly Boogie) to the mega huge corporate ones (Bonnaroo) to the disastrous, fiery hellscapes (Woodstock '99), music festivals are a great American institution. Also in this episode, we go deep into Rivers' past as a jam band kid as well as Pat's experiences in the worst bathroom in North America. This episode has drugs, music, on-stage meltdowns, and so much more. Give us a listen and follow the show @TheGoodsPod.  Rivers is @RiversLangley  Dr. Pat is @PM_Reilly  Mr. Goodnight is @SepulvedaCowboy  Pick up a Goods from the Woods t-shirt at: http://prowrestlingtees.com/TheGoodsPod
