Ep 1324 | The Psychology of Hunger: Why The Robertson Brothers Do The Grocery Shopping
Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian take a deeper look at key figures in America’s founding years, like Ben Franklin, William Penn, and Thomas Jefferson. The guys highlight how early America was shaped not just by shared beliefs, but by a surprising diversity of cultures, languages, and perspectives. They reflect on whether a society can maintain those values without a foundation in God, and what America’s early struggles reveal about the challenges we’re still facing today.
