Description

NOTE: Dr. Chismoore is currently away. He has left really important thinkers, and comedians, TOM FELL and GRIFFIN WENZLER in charge.*

Each week Dr. Chris Chismoore takes on the impossible task of discussing neuroscience, biohacking, men’s health, and men’s culture.

Dr. Chris Chismoore is a heterodox neuroscientist, polarizing archeologist, persistent entrepreneur, and tenured professor in the Department of Research at a really good college. He’s been profiled in Scientific American, Harper’s Weekly, and TigerTeen Beat. His work has been published in the Journal of Thought, the New England Papers, and Wine Yum Today. His studies on biohacking the men’s genome have been revolutionary to regular guys everywhere.

On Really Important Thinking, Dr. Chris deconstructs winning strategies and world-class performers in eclectic areas (medicine, business, chess) digging deep to find tools, tactics, and tricks listeners can consider to optimize and integrate into efficient routine strategies for routine success and full potential living.

Welcome to the Journey. Welcome to the Awakening. You are loved. No one thinks like you. -Dr. Chris Chismoore

The Forbidden Fruit Episode

The Forbidden Fruit Episode

2026-01-1101:24:45

As Tom celebrates the fruit of his loins (fatherhood) Griffin has decided it is time to go back into the archives and show you the forbidden Fruit episode. This is from our very early days when we were still Goober Time. Forbidden because we thought maybe this episode was too odd, too rambling, too utterly deranged. But with the power of time I can now safely assure you it is a banger! An all timer.-Grungus

The fellows discuss methods and strategies for becoming near lifeless at night. Or are you? There is simply so much happening when we are unconscious that we don't even know about good yet. Sound off in the reviews if you like sleep or whatever.
Here is the one where we finally do a bizarre blend of comedy and sincere self-reflection. That has never been done before on the podcast, so we are finally doing it.Look. I know the audio is bad most of the time. We're gonna fix that in a few months probably. I don't know how it keeps being all screwed up. Chris is so disappointed with us.
Here is the one where we talk about how to optimize your body. How to achieve truly superhuman strength...and we mean that mentally but also emotionally and spiritually. We also have some good ideas for merchandise.(This episode art is a picture of Griffin's grandfather when he was a body builder while he was enlisted in the Air Force during WW2.)You are a genius of science and mathematics. Thank you, citizen soldier, for enlisting in the Goober Time Army
