The brothers brainstorm various phrases for the year's theme
In this podcast episode, the hosts go on a lighthearted and entertaining brainstorming session to come up with a theme for the year. They discuss various phrases and slogans such as '20 Hear Me Roar', '20 Hunt the Bore', and '20 Fungalore', humorously exploring the potential meanings and implications of each. They emphasize the importance of not taking the theme too seriously and allowing individual interpretation.
Fungalore as a metaphorical idea
Throughout the podcast, the brothers discuss 'Fungalore' as a potential theme for the year. While they initially approached it as a lighthearted and playful concept, they also acknowledge that it can be seen as a metaphorical idea. They describe Fungalore as someone or something that 'hears your wish,' but purposely keep its definition open to personal interpretation, encouraging individuals to find their own meaning in the concept. They emphasize the importance of having a personal relationship with Fungalore and not restricting its interpretation to established mythos or lore.
Never before have we faced such a challenge as this: coming up with a year name that rhymes with "four". It's so unusual that it even caused a shift in the brother energy, so now there's a new Justin and we sure hope he remembers his Mavis Beacon lessons.
