We are excited to welcome Luke back (even if only for this episode)! This episode was the first time we sat down to record in this new year, 2017. Nick and Luke started off the new year by traveling to California for the Los Angeles Whip Convention, hosted by world famous whip cracker Adam Winrich. Nick and Luke were in LA from January 13-16. We kick things off by discussing the concept of New Year's Resolutions, and if we have any ourselves. We then delve into the specifics of the activities that took place at the convention, and also discuss why anyone would even care about it. Lastly, we wrap things up with an evocative poem from Luke, which spontaneously produces a discussion on the philosophical meaning of what truth is, and the differing levels of it.
