Planet of the Indecisive Apes
Mind Under Matter
04/19/21 • 94 min
The Sad Boys of Comedy PodcastingTM capture the moment they came up with the show title while discussing the evolution of depression.
Anxiety can keep us out of danger, but what utility might depression have? If it doesn’t have utility, why is it pervasive in so many species? If it is so bad for us, why hasn’t evolution gotten rid of it? If it’s good for us, why does it suck so much?
Sometimes other primates experience depression after losing a fight and that might keep them from making the same mistake. Sometimes the best strategy is to pause and reflect.
While Shane and Ramin are only three episodes in, it’s pretty obvious that Mind Under Matter is the podcast that will be the dawn of a new era.
But what's the point of world domination anyway? Does all this incredible content that enriches people’s lives make a difference in the end? And if so, should two people even wield such great power?
Even though rumination can feel like sinking, sometimes what might feel like heading toward the bottom is actually mining for gold.
(Non-Fungible Moment ALERT: In this episode the SBCPTM decide on the name Mind Under Matter and consider how indecisiveness can sometimes be an exploratory tool in the creative process. We recorded a ton of content and experimented for months before releasing the podcast for just this reason. It would have been a very different show if we would have committed to our first ideas released the show right away.)
Pandemic History
Mind Under Matter
12/14/21 • 112 min
The Infectious of Boys of ComedyTM dig into the history of pandemics.
Life on earth started billions of years ago. Life parasitizing other life, evolved shortly after. And the endless arms between viruses and hosts began. This mix of battles and cooperation gave rise to much of the rich complexity and diversity of life in addition to some of its biggest threats. Early sexual reproduction may even have become more successful than cloning in part to escape disease spread. And now sex is one of the main ways diseases are spread!
And around and around we go...
Modern civilization has created unique opportunities for viruses and modern medicine has created unique defenses. Once again, the arms race continues. Meanwhile, while our biology and psychology haven’t changed much since hunter-gathers so we find our intuitions mismatched for our modern world.
From major events like smallpox, to modern scares like Ebola, to an obscure Australian horse disease, many of the common themes have happened again and again. At a time when many are turning to the news to get daily updates on jargony talking points to argue over, The IBCTM think it’s worthwhile to look back through the last few hundred years of various epidemics to get some perspective.
Catch this episode on YouTube or your favorite app and you will come down with contagious laughter and be super spreading novel insights in no time.
Meet The MUM Family! BONUS Ep. 13
Mind Under Matter
04/07/22 • 88 min
The Kids Of The Boys Of ComedyTM join Shane and Ramin for the first team episode!
Matt McCool (real last name) is the amazing editor of both Mind Under Matter and Here We Are. If you follow us on Instagram or watch on YT or Spotify, you’ve gotten to see all the fun things that the best editor in podcasting adds to MUM. What you would never know is all the little stuff that goes into making quality audio and video that no one would ever notice unless he stopped doing it.
Rhianna ‘The Hippie Witch’ Andrews (real hippie witch) has worked with Shane since his Good Trip Tour in 2016. She has since had to wear SOOOOO MANY HATS. She has run social media, been a publicist, booked guests, managed tours, been an agent and manager, done endless administrative assistant tasks, a web designer, a straight jacket designer, and way too many other things to list. Now she’s the MUM Mom.
Ramin and Shane generally keep Matt and Rhianna chained in a dungeon, subsiding off their own recycled urine, so we thought it was time we make this hostage video so everyone knows they are still alive.
Generally, our monthly bonus episodes are only available on Patreon but after recording, we realized that we want everyone to meet The KBCTM. So we decided to make this one public so you could get a free taste of some of the fun, experimental shows typically exclusive to our super fans.

The Well-Positioned Boys of ComedyTM talk about sex.
We had no choice. It’s episode 69.
What did a couple of scientists learn from watching a billion adult videos? Why are people turned on by such a variety of things? What other animals have homosexuals? Is the most famous position even any good?

This place is insanely awesome!
Shane traveled to Raleigh to see where The Campout Festival Boys of ComedyTM will be hosting the Mind Under Matter Campout Festival Sep 8 – 11th.
After checking out a different campout festival here... WOW! There is no describing the excitement but we take a whack at it anyway.
Lakeside Retreats is amazing and we can’t believe we are going to get to build our own Mind Under Matter World.
Any anxieties that we had before seeing the place went away and now it’s time to start spreading the word and telling your friends.
The first 222 tickets will all have a very special gift bag with a special token that will let people know you were one of the first 222 and several other items that cannot be purchased anywhere.
Listen to the episode and buy tickets before the price increases in June. The CFBCTM will see you in September!!!

DOUG STANHOPE
Mind Under Matter
03/29/22 • 110 min
The Starstruck Boys of ComedyTM welcome the legend as their very first guest on the show.
It’s the last episode of the first season of Mind Under Matter and we wanted to go out with one of the last of a dying breed.
Doug Stanhope built a cult following as one of the most authentic, debaucherous, smartest, edgiest, funniest comics who has ever lived. Well before podcasting and social media gave comedians more of a chance to take their career into their own hands, Doug broke the mold. He basically invented indie stand-up touring. His DIY career paved the way for Shane and an entire generation of comics who wanted to think outside of the Hollywood model or traditional comedy club box.
His classic special Deadbeat Hero and brave book ‘Digging Up Mother’ are just a taste of his incredible openness that has made him a hero amongst comics, critics, and audiences. Check out all his specials, books, and podcast at https://www.dougstanhope.com/
FYI, ‘No Refunds’ was the special taping where Shane was in the audience and laughed so hard that Doug had to stop the show.
Leave a comment to let The SBCTM know who you would like us to have on for a special guest in season 2!
Darwinian Beauty
Mind Under Matter
02/08/22 • 136 min
This week The Sexually Selected Boys of ComedyTM get into some of the basics of the evolution of mating.
Charles Darwin’s birthday is just before Valentine’s Day on Feb 12. We thought it would be fitting to spend the next two weeks talking about how change over time has shaped the tantalizing act of spreading genes.
'On The Origin of Species' put Darwin on the map and introduced the world to evolution. But when it came to mating, things like the peacock just weren’t making sense. This spawned his controversial book ‘The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex’
The SSBCTM want to you to be our Valentine on YouTube or your favorite app.
