About

For the past 28 years, Jay Scherick has been writing with his partner David Ronn. Early in their film career, Scherick & Ronn focused on comedies such as Guess Who with Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher, and Norbit with Eddie Murphy. But halfway through their careers, after having children of their own, they shifted to family films such as The Smurfs, Zookeeper, and Clifford the Big Red Dog. Over the past three decades, Scherick & Ronn have had ten major motion pictures produced.

An adamant atheist and self-proclaimed hater of all things spiritual, Jay hit a particularly "rough patch" in his twenties and surprisingly found his way to a mediation program where – even more surprisingly – he had a dramatic spiritual awakening.

Since then, in addition to raising and family and maintaining a career, Jay has been intently pursuing higher spiritual truths.

David Ronn's father was a chemical physicist who raised David to only believe in things that could be definitively proven. As such, David has spent most of his life poo-pooing anything spiritual.

However, after working for nearly thirty years with a very spiritually-minded writing partner who likes to pontificate, David has become increasingly less certain about his beliefs. Part of him wants to believe there is something bigger out there. But the other part demands scientific proof.

David is a husband and a father. He's afraid of death, germs, and experiencing bad feelings of any sort.

Steve is a computer scientist who works as a senior executive at a prominent tech company.

Jay asked his friend and neighbor, Steve, to join the podcast thinking - as a scientist with no significant spiritual or religious background - Steve would make a wonderful skeptic. But Steve has repeatedly surprised his co-hosts with his open-minded and often unpredictable points of view.

Steve has a penchant for telling a joke or two. He is also a husband and father.
