Our greatest living film director, Steven Spielberg, asked "...is God, our God, only on this planet – or is God a God for every system where there's civilization, intelligent life, and even developing life?" Great question. And good news: Matthew and Jeremy – our greatest living podcasters – have the definitive 100% for-sure answer (I've heard the aliens can't probe you if you're laughing). #GenXFiles #IntergalacticPlanetaryPlanetaryIntergalactic

Which content creators fire you up? This week, Matthew and Jeremy trade notes on their favorites (a few may REALLY surprise you). PLUS, the new @rageagainstthemachineofficial x #Hillsong mashup (sincere apologies to both), a bonkers WWII story, and #He-Man goes to counseling. And why doesn't Matthew believe in The Universe?! No worries – we'll get it all figured out...

Why are we uncomfortable with being uncomfortable? Things get deep this week as Matthew and Jeremy explode some myths about success. But don't worry – still plenty of snackable silliness, too. On the content charcuterie board: Jeremy's summery summary, Matthew says communism is basically The McRib, and how YOU can become Batman. So listen now – because Gotham needs you!

The guys from that Australian band were right: it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n roll. This week, the guys trace the weird and winding road that lead them to the projects they're working on today (some of the stops along Jeremy's path will surprise you). PLUS, an update on #PrayForRay, a new AI pet translation device (?!), and a surprising insight on creative leadership. Merry Tuba Christmas, everybody!

"We have to do this now or God will give it to Prince." This week, Matthew and Jeremy discuss a fascinating concept: that we don't just create, but God creates THROUGH us. And of course, they explore this weighty theological idea via a crazy-but-true story involving Michael Jackson and Prince. ALSO in this episode... a hack for overcoming procrastination, a cool tip for freelancers, and some news about @pizzahut sure to delight Gen X hearts everywhere. Shamone!

Gather round, graduates... It's time for Matthew and Jeremy to drop some priceless wisdom that will forever shape and enhance your lives. And failing that, they have stories about lazy avocado trees, commencement speeches gone awry, a shocking new poll about Gen Z, and the guys' oddest odd jobs ever. In a word, it's SCRUMTRULESCENT.

From Arizona to Alderaan, we're covering a LOT of ground in this week's episode: Star Wars, Breaking Bad, Monument Valley, robot surgeons, flag football drama... Even a few more weighty subjects like the grace holding realistic expectations of others and the art of forgiveness. And sure, let's not forget the murder ducks.

Before This Is The Show went live, the guys actually recorded a LOT of episodes that never saw the light of day. So this week, we're bringing you a deep cut – the very FIRST episode they recorded some eight months before officially launching the podcast.
