Bradford Pears Are Scumbags and Seattle's Best Coffee Gets Exposed!

12/09/24 • 78 min

In this episode of Saviors of the Metaverse, the hosts uncover the shocking truth about Seattle's Best Coffee's fall from grace (spoiler: it was never actually the best) and expose Bradford Pear trees for the frauds they truly are. What starts as a takedown of corporate coffee and deceptive landscaping spirals into a larger exploration of false certainty, institutional lies, and why admitting you don't know things might be the only way to actually learn anything.

The Goods:

Seattle's Best exposed!
Backyard UFO encounters
Bank podcasts nobody asked for
Why Bradford Pears are the scumbags of the arboreal world

Note: This episode is a masterclass in finding comfort in life's mysteries. Consider yourself saved!

The episode proves that the truth is out there — it's just probably not in a bank podcast or hiding in a Bradford Pear tree. Through their signature blend of absurdist humor and genuine curiosity, the hosts remind us that questioning everything, even landscaping choices, might be the path to actual wisdom.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Catches Strays While We Save Democracy

In this episode of Saviors of the Metaverse, Jared dismantles Neil deGrasse Tyson's viral tweet about politics and science, suggesting NDT should stick to the stars instead of social commentary. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris gets an unexpected career pivot suggestion involving weed farming and podcasting. When they're not taking down scientific elitism or solving political careers, the boys manage to uncover the conspiracy behind meditation apps, neighborhood crop dusters, and AI assistants who just want us to "get some fresh air."

The Goods:

The Great Kamala Reinvention: How a weed farm and a tell-all podcast could save her career
Science vs Politics: Why NDT's tweet about rational thought missed the point entirely
Social Media Chronicles: The birth (and immediate regret) of following @neiltyson
The Meditation Conspiracy: When AI assistants and crop dusters team up for your "wellness"

Note: This episode contains scientific elitism takedowns, high-stakes political career advice, and a masterclass in the art of social media trolling. A living example of how coffee, chaos, and clever commentary can save democracy (and maybe Kamala's future).

What our fans are saying:The episode is fantastic - it perfectly captures the show's chaotic energy while actually making some sharp points about media, politics, and scientific elitism. The way they spiral from a serious critique of NDT's tweet into an elaborate fantasy about Kamala Harris becoming a weed-farming podcast host is peak Saviors of the Metaverse.

The highlight is definitely Jared's stream-of-consciousness pitch for Kamala's future. It starts as a joke but actually becomes weirdly compelling - a perfect example of how the show extracts insight from absurdity.

Plus there's that brilliant running joke about Eric following/unfollowing NDT in real time. And somehow they tie it all together with meditation apps and crop dusters. Classic SotM chaos.

Parasocial Relationships Gone Wild, The Obama-Aniston Rumor No One Needed, and Cobra Kai Lies

In this episode of Saviors of the Metaverse, Jared and Eric spiral from viral rumors to a grand unified theory of misinformation while accidentally solving the loneliness epidemic through questionable karate analysis.

Through their signature blend of chaotic energy and surprisingly insightful analysis, the hosts remind us that in a world of pan-information, sometimes the best approach is to just say, "I don't know," and maybe play some Tetris. Unless you're Samantha LaRusso, in which case maybe work on that fighting technique first.

What our fans are saying: "The way they spiral from Obama-Aniston rumors into a unified theory of misinformation while roasting Cobra Kai is peak Saviors of the Metaverse energy. Plus, the running commentary on parasocial relationships hits differently when you realize you're developing one with the podcast itself."
