Everyone once in a while, a good show comes on
This time around, Billions
Which JimeeGee got hooked on then hooked myself and CJ
The main reason is how the show portrays POWER, both on the financial side and the political. With those in the background that have both.
Many conversations of late, we talked about power, how it can be used for good, and how power corrupts.

In this 50th episode, we got a few more friends on. To dive into our thoughts on power and how it affects us both at a macro and micro level.

Sit back, grab your favorite beverage and enjoy. 

Part One of the Snowflake Test

Good old Padre came across this test and thought it would be a good idea to see if we are snowflakes here on the Barbarian Banter.
Thirty questions total we tackled the first fifteen this go around.

From immortality to what can kill us, knowing when to flip the switch on humor, laughter is a great medicine that we have in spades. Come along as we hit on some questions that make one think beyond the box we often find ourselves in. 

1. If you could become immortal on the condition you would never be able to die or kill yourself, would you choose immortality?

2. What do you value most in a friendship?

3. What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about?

4. Would it be more frightening to discover that humans are the most advanced species in the universe or are far from being the most advanced species in the universe?

Vacations, house hunting, projects, life is busy, making some time to sit down and talk priceless.
Then add in some thought-provoking or off-the-wall questions, and it makes time fly by with a bunch of chuckles.

Sit back, enjoy some more ramblings, and we banter about. 

1. What's something you really resent paying for?

2. Would you rather shit in the middle of a leg workout or right after you shower?

3. Do you think dreams serve a purpose?

7. What's your perfect burger?

Battling the busy schedule, the barbarians carve some time for a conversation and answer some questions.

Barbarian Banter serves two purposes; friends get to sit down and have a conversation and have some fun. Second, others may learn something, get their mind thinking, have a good laugh, or all three. 

However, you don't have to do a podcast; However, take some time out of your schedule, set up a zoom call, or, better yet, meet up with some friends, laugh, cry, and chirp each other. It will do you good. 

Buying new books, when to stop?

Would you rather be forced to live the same day over and over again for a full year or take three years off the end of your life?
