The Periphery w/ Paul & Brandon

Hear the Crows Flying

Sun, 14 Nov 2021 18:08:20 +0000

The take away from this episode is to make time to hear the crows flying. Brandon gives us an update on Arkansas BIll's health and the much anticipated Bill 4 video. Then it's Arron Rodgers vs. The Vaccine and Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Plus a discussion about the growing homelessness problem and some possible solutions. And most importantly, the value of getting away and hearing the crows fly...while trying to murder some deer.

I Wanna Know What Love Is...

Sat, 06 Nov 2021 16:20:40 +0000

...and I want you to show me.

Love is tough, but when it's right, there's nothing better. Brandon and Paul take a deep dive into the highs and lows of trying to make love work. Speaking of love, are women drawn to twisted, sick, serial-killer types? The Netflix show You sparks a conversation about the dark side of attraction. And lastly, is Facebook being miscast as the bad guy? Brandon stands up for the social media giant. Paul offers a differing opinion.

Cryptocurrency is Free

Tue, 12 Oct 2021 13:05:00 +0000

On Episode 12 Brandon takes us into the deep, deep, deep waters of cryptocurrency. What is it? How does it work? Is it just a fad that will fade away like so many others? It's an eye-opening and in-depth look at the past and potential future impact of cryptocurrency.

And the fellas talk about their upcoming trip to the 479 to visit Arkansas Bill and Jo. Their bags are packed and now it's just a matter of getting there and hitting record. During this episode you'll get some insight into what's in-store for Arkansas Bill Part 4.

A Marijuana Plant Named Rayma

Wed, 25 Aug 2021 20:29:41 +0000

In a world with so much going on, it's nice to slow down and have a good old fashioned talk with a friend. The show starts with Brandon explaining how a marijuana plant he grew years ago was named after a silhouette dancer in Vegas. From there the topics come and go with a randomness and ease that feels rare in today's too heated, too fast and too impatient world.

Getting Real About the Vaccine

Wed, 04 Aug 2021 20:09:30 +0000

Paul clearly endorses the vaccine. Brandon is hesitant. The following is a conversation we agreed to have to clear the air and perhaps learn from each other. We laid it all out there from opposing perspectives as perhaps only two friends could--with concern, respect, and, at times, bluntness.

Quitting Caffeine, Starting Marijuana and an Arkansas Bill Update

Fri, 16 Jul 2021 17:18:36 +0000

As you can imagine from the title, this episode goes places no Periphery pod has ever gone before. Sit down, buckle up and enjoy the ride as the fellas discuss whether focusing all of your energy on quitting something could be worse than the thing itself. Then they discuss some bizarre videos Brandon discovered on Twitch. And last but not least, there's an Arkansas Bill update. Find out what's on the horizon for our favorite Arkansan.

White Tees, Black Panthers and the Real Slim Shady

Fri, 18 Jun 2021 17:12:31 +0000

Sometimes it takes something random to break up the monotony. A wardrobe coincidence gets the show started off on a much needed light note. From there Paul and Brandon talk Critical Race Theory, Eminem, Media Bias then discuss Brandon's interview with one of the original Black Panthers, Larry Pinkney.

Weed, Skid Row and a Laser Tag Lunchbox

Fri, 04 Jun 2021 17:08:19 +0000

This week the boys take a weed infused trip down memory lane as Paul and Brandon talk about their first times getting high. While both trips were very different, they both had very similar outcomes. Mixed-in with the randomness, Paul discusses the tragic end to his Laser Tag lunch box, Brandon shows us what it's like to walk the streets of LA's Skid Row and gives you a sneak peak at footage from The Periphery's upcoming documentary Hope & Chaos: A Year at George Floyd Square.

On Turning 40, Sports in America, and Winter Spearfishing

Thu, 20 May 2021 16:55:44 +0000

This week we open with Brandon's big 40th b-day, then we talk sports (like meta-talk sports), how the internet is a divisive force, and finally, dig into The Periphery archives to see some northern Minnesotan winter spearfishing.

Also, Paul just casually throws in at the end that he just released a bunch of songs! So, enjoy one of these as we close out.

Special Guest and a Trip Back to Trump Country

Thu, 29 Apr 2021 16:43:56 +0000

This week Paul and Brandon go all-in on the Periphery's latest documentary, "Trump Country -after Trump", then discuss the best ways for you to find greatness. Finally, we are joined by a very special guest who does a tarot reading for Brandon. Thanks Jessoh ;-)

QAnon, Chauvin Trial and Big Blunts

Fri, 09 Apr 2021 16:29:39 +0000

This week, we discuss the new QAnon documentary (and how this movement relates to romance scams), our thoughts on the Derek Chauvin Trial near Brandon's home in Minneapolis, and then we watch a classic video from The Periphery’s library: Brandon’s visit with some hippie marijuana farmers in Oregon.

Florida, Pink Shirts, and Social Unrest

Thu, 25 Mar 2021 13:15:38 +0000

Welcome to The Periphery with Paul and Brandon!

For this new series, Paul and I will share the latest about the channel (projects, travel), offer some thoughts on issues of the day, AND THEN we'll finish off each episode by highlighting a past video on The Periphery--Alaska? Cuba? An elder's life story? A survival tale? ...
