Cole and Elias discuss and rank possible fantasy world living experiences, such as why the Shire is a much nicer place than the Hunger Games (hot take!)

Elias and Cole try to divide the art of podcasting into genres and categories, share their favorite podcasts, comment on some annoying podcast stereotypes, and do somewhat passable Australian accents.

Elias and Cole discuss their fantastical plans for the best house ever, which they will totally build when Mostly Irrelevant gets famous enough. Their imaginings include the One-Of-Every-Chair room and Gandalf as housekeeper.

This week, or whatever odd length of time it's been since the last episode, Cole proposes his list of fantastical "bad story ideas" to Elias, hoping to workshop them to at least mediocre status.

In a totally historic episode marking one year of Mostly Irrelevant, Elias and Cole discuss many categories of "favorites" of 2025, including songs, albums, books, and personal stories.

Elias and Cole take a test to find out where they rank on the "Generic Conspiracist Beliefs Scale." Are they normal, submissive sheeple or accomplished conspiracists? And what does the Bible have to say about mistrust of the government?

While it may appear that they're just trying to break the world record for most tangents in half an hour, Elias and Cole tackle the question of identity and how it's a notoriously confusing subject for people who have grown up in a place outside their passport country.

After a philosophical tangent and a moment of appreciation for origami, Elias and Cole discuss their tendency to turn small creative ideas into annoyingly huge projects, which don't always turn out as great as their lofty beginnings.
