The Podcast about three brothers coming to terms with the oddly true or the truthfully odd.

Welcome to against all oddities. The podcast about three brothers coming to terms with the oddly true and the truthfully odd. Today’s episode focuses on the oddity that is the experience and perception of time.  Be warned that this episode of against all oddities is a little bit different than normal and may very well blow your mind. As a way to illustrate the enigmatic nature of time we decided to break the fourth wall of podcasting by recording our conversation in the past, present and future. So the first part of the episode Tim and Nate converse about the nature of time along with a future version of Chris who inserted himself back in time with Nate and Tim. The second half of the podcast all three brothers engage in conversation about time simultaneously. This episode is also available on our YouTube channel, so if your brain can’t handle the complexities of time theories via our podcast then you can try watching our discussion and it may make more sense, and if it still doesn’t then “Don’t try to understand it”
