Another Side Bar

Scott and Adam discuss the perils of living in a consumer saturated society, and its current focus on targeting men.  Adam recounts his harrowing experience of being knocked unconscious by the uppercut of a baby Joey kangaroo, and discusses his encounter with a bull penis staff.  Scott does a deep dive into the philosophy of the Diggers in 1960s San Francisco and shares that he owns a coin pouch made from a kangaroo scrotum.  Multiple references to kangaroos and animal genitalia in this one!

What do Latter-day Saints believe is the purpose of suffering? Adam and Scott dive into one of life’s biggest questions, exploring pain, agency, growth, and God’s purposes through the lens of Latter-day Saint theology. The conversation then takes a hard turn into the wonderfully unsettling world of Philip K. Dick’s The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, with Scott explaining why he considers it one of the most profound science fiction novels ever written—and how films like Inception and Interstellar owe far more to Dick than many people realize. As if reality wasn’t unstable enough, the episode is repeatedly interrupted when Adam discovers the limits of blackberry Dr. Pepper consumption. He also recounts the harrowing tale of sustaining a concussion after being struck by… a pillow… while working on a film set. Philosophy, theology, science fiction, soft drinks, and medically questionable workplace injuries. Just another day at the sidebar.

Scott somehow connects a guy named “Peanuts” to the JFK assassination, while Adam wanders Dealey Plaza after acting in a Taylor Sheridan series and slowly becomes way too invested in the conspiracy.

Adam confesses a true life paranormal experience with no logical explanation, and Scott explores the myth of certainty with the 1962 Alcatraz escapes and the JFK assassination.

Adam and Scott talk about the frequent follies of current cinema and ruminate on the problems of the modern world—an uplifting episode!

Scott goes full blown socialist while Adam shares memories of living the good life in Saudi Arabia.

Adam shares stories of his biggest fan and what it’s like to be famous on Wikifeet, while Scott tells tales of his childhood association with Elijah Wood and coins the term “errant weiner.”

Welcome to the launch of Another Side Bar!  An unplanned, unrehearsed podcast where Adam and Scott, two husbands (not to each other) and dads (not to each other), discuss the entertainment industry, Latter-day Saint theology, and the secrets of the universe.  In short, it’s a podcast about nothing…like Seinfeld, only funnier, and better, and more entertaining, and better, and more profitable, and better, and better.
