In this episode, the dogs talk about Mike’s mustache (1:13), Tiny Desk concerts (1:40), and Coyote Peterson (3:00). Rob revisits the monotasking discussion from “Altar of snackrifice” and asks Connor to summarize the Art of Manliness Podcast on monotasking (7:30). They broadly depict the difference between an office and a study (13:40) and give their own personal examples of activities that properly demand their complete attention (15:37).

 

 

Quotes:

“I like the part at the end where his mustache turned into a butterfly and flew away.” (Connor, 2:39)

“Monotasking is not a hack; in fact it’s the opposite of a hack.” (Connor 16:52)

“The disorder of multitasking is that we bring things together that don’t actually go together.” (Connor, 20:20)

“The greatest sin in today’s world is not taking a sabbath.” (Rob summarizing Fr. Bob Schoenstene, 24:51)

“The Mass is the example of how we take all of these individual particular lower level elements, but then they’re all integrated by Jesus and they actually enter into the Divine. If you properly order all those things together, then it’s one thing. We’re praying the Mass, even if we're doing a bunch of different activities.” (Mike, 26:37)

“I need an ultimate purpose of why I’m getting out of the bed in the morning and to me the only thing that makes any sense finally is the Mass.” (Connor, 27:58)
