Geeking After Dark

Alpaca My Things And Go

Bart, Norma and Voretaq have a post-Easter catchup discussing alpaca farming as a career, grandkid scams and scambaiting in general, empathy only applies when it happens to ME, depression, and the Satanic Temple is highlighting public school bullsh## politics! Oh, and definitely check out Useless Farm. It's useless but entertaining.

Feedback Tangentials

Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss...mostly stories from feedback, actually. How times have changed, changing citizenship, school safety, credit cards, lawsuits, and a little bit about why you shouldn't die near cats...

Shocking...more school shootings

Bart and Norma discuss the latest round of school shootings, the latest health trend of IV's for fun, Little Wooden Boy!, and college visits!

Norma Hates Our WiFi

Bart and Norma are left to their own devices when reviewing a relatively quiet week, especially since Norma's wifi use is severely hampered and she wants to fix it during the podcast recording session. That did not end well, and Bart is never putting up with the jabs of "doesn't test changes before recording time and causing problems during recording time" after this... Other than that, we review Jeopardy! making a whoopsie, an aquarium gets sued for reasons aquariums don't normally get su...

Fascist Snowflakes

Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss more weird weather, topless swimming in Berlin, child marriage, ice cream made from bugs, dirty license plates, the give of snowflakes for DeSantis and company, Jodi Picoult on book bans, and hospital stays for fun and discomfort!

"I work in a home facade"

Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss Siri as an Assistant, Trump continues his festival of lies, Ford wants cars that drive away if you don't pay them enough, religious non-vaxed get an opportunity to show how Jesus protects them from measles, and a company has a nifty way of decorating workspaces!

Scott Adams "Cancelled"

Monkey-Nabber Nabbed!

Bart and Norma discuss catching last week's zoo monkey kidnapper, "I'm not hiding a body, just cooking meth!" (spoiler: he had both), Jenners loving the headlines for the weirdest things, and it's totally fine when conservatives THINK OF THE CHILDREN obsess over what's going on in children's underwear (WHAT?!) as well as making it blatantly clear they don't understand scientific theory being difference from Scooby Doo mystery-solving theories!

How Layoffs are like Toots

Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss what the old PDP-11 computers were like to use, stolen monkeys, fun with Apple Airtags, school computer hacking and tech company layoffs (and how they're like fancy restaurant farts!)

ChatGPT Fun

Bart and Norma spend time on ChatGPT and how old we are. We also go over news about Jay Leno and citizen's alcohol consumption, and angry Chinese people getting Covid. It's a conversational episode.

Splash Mountain, Now Less Racist!

Bart, Norma and Voretaq (yes, he's back today!) discuss the Goonies real-life house, more shootings (yawn), George Santos (or is he?), Alec Baldwin's gun problems, Tim Allen waving his little Tim at Pamela Anderson, ChatGPT, and cocaine pancakes. And that's not all! (PS...Frontier sucks. My opinion, I stand by it.)

Popcorn for the Speaker Show

Voretaq is out again, leaving Bart and Norma to discuss the sh@^show that was the Speaker of the House voting. It was an amazingly spectacular clusterf@#$! I couldn't believe how entertaining it was, and it's a sign of the idiocy that's coming for the next few years, no doubt!

First Show of 2023

This episode is unedited with Bart and Norma talking about feedback submitted and the recent holiday goings-on. There's some rambling, there's some...whatever...it's off the cuff and raw. Tell Norma how much she um's and er's through the episode.

Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss Trump's latest attempts to stay relevant and out of jail, Congress's latest attempt to pretend they care about Trump's crimes, Elon Musk proves that being CEO doesn't mean you're a genius, and healthcare is still a mess! Oh, and advent calendars can get REALLY REALLY expensive...

Whelan and Dealing

Bart and Norma discuss a prisoner exchange, a followup to last week's killbot story and the Walker senate race!

Deploying Killbots

Bart and Voretaq (and later Norma) discuss killer robots for police departments, stealing Covid funds, Brenden Fraser, noisy hospital equipment, Pooty-bear's ongoing war in Ukraine, and the Pentagon seems to have misplaced a few trillion dollars in their military-grade sofas!

Too Political

Bart and Norma discuss a rainbow fence feud, Oz and his fake felons for Fetterman stunt, and DeSantis pulls a migrant stunt that more or less backfires as it turns out "liberal elites" aren't "racist fascists". Oh, and they found the Perla Huerta that helped traffic the immigrants. Turns out "Perla" wasn't a pseudonym...

Cat Butts

Bart and Norma discuss who is allowed to die first, Ron Desantis' migrant stunt may haunt him yet (think he'll get away with human trafficking still?) and whether the Cats CGI movie butthole release was a real thing...We also discuss how the economy works, from the viewpoint of people who don't understand economics.

Litterboxes are for Jury Doody

Bart and Voretaq lament Voretaq's upcoming jury duty assignment, the fate of the queen's dogs, are all gameshow hosts terrible people?, be more careful with your DNA and a crypto company misplaces 10 million (aus) dollars...and didn't notice for 7 months.

A Quiet Week

Bart and Norma had a relatively quiet week. This episode we cover a lot of mind-bendingly idiotic stories of cognitive dissonance, a pastor robbed of quadrillions of dollars of jewelry during a livestreamed service, and a chess robot that insists you play by the rules!

The Zombie Episode (Almost Live!)

It's a hectic time! We have trips, holidays, and general tons-o'-stuff to do! But I didn't want to go too long without an episode, so this is a recording of a "raw" recording session. No editing. No music. So if you've ever wondered what the episodes are like without removing the pauses, "um"s, and occasional verbal meandering (yes, as bad as it gets, I actually edit them down...), here's your chance to hear it! Most of the episode focuses on the latest Roe V. Wade judgement from the SCOTU...

It's Mostly the Movies

Bart and Norma discuss mostly movies time, since we saw not one, but TWO movies this weekend. Top Gun: Maverick and Jurassic World: Dominion! Also, did you know you can sue if you get an STD from someone you barely know in their car? One woman has a few million reasons to celebrate after doing just that!
