Let's all use this thread to create a list of speaker suggestions. I'll start with Daniel Kahneman (Thinking, Fast and Slow) and Andy Thomson (Why We Believe in Gods). Who would you like to hear as a guest on the show?

Permalink Reply by Joseph F on March 31, 2012 at 11:37am I'd like to see Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio as a guest on the show. He's a philosopher who deals with topics such as libertarianism, anarcho-capitalism, and atheism. He's very anti-government and anti-god. I think that he and Penn would get along great. http://freedomainradio.com/
Permalink Reply by TM on March 31, 2012 at 12:23pm You should have on Stefan Molyneux from Freedomain Radio. I regularly listen to both of your shows and would love to hear you two discuss philosophy and government.
Permalink Reply by Johan Linden on March 31, 2012 at 12:25pm I think the two most important philosophers today, who is still alive, is Nassim Taleb and Stefan Molyneux. I think they may be the most important even compared the dead bunch of great people.
Nassim you might now as a friend of Kahneman (who is also very good of course).
Mr. Taleb and Mr. Molyneux are the kind of people who is most likely to change the world and the way we think about things.

Permalink Reply by Darin Viehe on March 31, 2012 at 12:44pm Stephan Molyneux would be interesting...
Permalink Reply by Miguel Fernandes on March 31, 2012 at 12:58pm For sure Stefan Molyneux

Permalink Reply by Ben Stone on March 31, 2012 at 1:12pm I agree that Stefan Molyneux is the man you need.
Stefan Molyneux.
Considering Penn's statements on himself and voluntarism (anarcho-capitalism) I would think Stefan Molyneux would be an amazing guest. Not only would Penn and Stefan be able to explore the concepts they both have a great sense of humor and the discussion would be quite lively.

OK, so I watched some more P&T episodes and found one about how the so-called, "obesity epidemic" is bullshit. Of course, the obesity epidemic is bullshit. Pretty much everything one sees in the media is a load of dog shit. Nothing new there. I can't really deny however that something's going on out there. I mean, after all, there are tons of super-fat motherfuckers walking around and scooting around on those little electric carts everywhere one looks.
Nonetheless, I had…

I just finished watching P&T's "Bullshit" episode on dolphins. It inspired me to share my personal experience with them, which I had back in the Amazon River Basin in 1996.
No, I didn't travel to the Amazon in 1996 to swim with the world's only freshwater pink and gray dolphins who inhabit the waters there, but to... well... to... ummmm... uh... OK! So, I don't even know what the fuck I went to the Amazon for in the first place! It's just that I've always loved adventures (and…
