Warbreaker Ep3

September 19, 2019 03:23 - 51 minutes - 117 MB

Well we are done with our anniversary series, and I'm comfortable saying that it lived up to our internal hype. Hopefully it lived up to your own, if you had any. Also, if you didn't already know, Pizza Hut teamed up with Cheez It to make this "Pizza Stuffed Cheez It Pizza" and it's pretty dope go try it. I ate one while I edited this episode.

Warbreaker Ep2

September 11, 2019 22:26 - 44 minutes - 102 MB

I pose, to you, a question - There is 6 seconds left in the game. Your opponent has possession, and one remaining timeout. You are one point ahead, which means your opponent needs only a field goal to win. They are only seven yards away from their kicker's FG range. What do you do, defensively? I'll tell you what you should do, almOST ANYTHING OTHER THAN PREVENT DEFENSE GARBAGE LIKE THE TEXANS DID MONDAY NIGHT. WHAT THE SHIT. Fire the whole defensive staff. Anyways, this book is getting prett...

The Raven Tower Ep2

August 28, 2019 06:00 - 34 minutes - 80 MB

Honestly the only thing I have been able to think about for days now is how much Andrew Luck retiring has thrown my drafting strategy. But, you know, maybe if his franchise had given him a better offensive line, he wouldn't have been beaten to the point of no return. The Colts owe him his projected career salary. Oh yeah, we finished a book. Next week is the anniversary episode! This episode was recorded the afternoon of 8.27.19. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod...

Chernobyl

August 15, 2019 02:52 - 57 minutes - 131 MB

What may be an underrated effect of media becoming so high quality, is the ability to tell stories in a compelling and evocative fashion that wasn't available before. The difference in researching a catastrophic event, and experiencing a catastrophic event, is story-telling. This miniseries is an example of that.

Holy shit so much is going on it I could literally have a day long anxiety attack over it all and honestly I'm not even mentioning the book I literally had a day long anxiety attack today. I am so glad I finished the section of reading yesterday. Imagine two day long anxiety attacks in the same day.

I'm going to miss this book.
