Hot Takes - Skeletor and Social Discourse

from Terribly Unoblivious · host Brad Child & Dylan Steil

Send a textEver found yourself in a heated debate about the pros and cons of social media? Well, strap in as we navigate the murky waters of online networks and their effects on society. We kick things off by breathing life into conversations on health beliefs, conspiracy theories, and the reminiscences of historical political elections. Then, with a wink and a nudge, we'll take a playful jab at climate change discourse and flat earth enthusiasts. And for those who can't resist the appeal of online shopping versus local stores, we tackle the convenience of purchasing eyewear in the digital age, all the while keeping our tongue firmly in cheek.But it's not all jest and jabs; this episode takes a magnifying glass to the intricacies of information dissemination in the post-COVID economy. We channel our inner Sherlock Holmes, with a tip of the hat to Matt Taibbi and the Twitter files, to unravel the mysteries behind corporate profit margins amidst rising costs. In the spotlight is the potential dark side of financial maneuvers like stock buybacks—prepare to have your mind opened and your beliefs challenged.Lastly, we're calling all sports fans and Saturday morning cartoon aficionados for a trip down memory lane and onto the field. Experience the highs and lows of football with Arsenal's latest feats and Crystal Palace fans' fervent protests, all while examining the bond between club owners and their communities. And don't miss our lighthearted look back at the gender-neutral undertones of 80s cartoons—because who doesn't need a good chuckle over a 'Prism Head' reference? Join us for an episode that's as much a lively debate as it is a nostalgic embrace of our childhood heroes.

The Meatgrinder: An Actual Play Limited Series The Nerd & Tie Podcast Network The Meatgrinder is an anthology actual play podcast where everyone dies… a lot. Three players at a time enter fantastical worlds, and every time a character dies they cycle out, and a new player joins the party. Each season runs approximately nine episodes, and is a self contained story.The Meatgrinder uses the same RPG system as Stormwood & Associates (and either loosely or directly connected to its world). Season one was set in the United States of Aremesia, as a modern special ops team was dispatched to stop a zombie outbreak in a small, mountain town. Season two sees a group of “chosen one(s)” questing to defeat an evil wizard. The show updates on the fifteenth of the month. Season three takes us to a colony ship in the distant future, where something has gone terribly wrong. Season four sees three strangers wake up in a mad-person's complicated trap.The Meatgrinder uses the “Super Awesome Action Heroes” role playing system. Explicit They Come to America Comedy Here Often? Podcast Network Matt Marti and his sidekick Brendan Kelly are exploring what makes each of our fifty states tick. Each week, a guest will join Matt and they'll discuss some stuff that they've experienced in whatever state the random state generator has determined is the topic of the day. Nothing is safe! Not even New Mexico! A podcast NOT terribly concerned with historical accuracy or actual facts, They Come to America is an intimate exploration of whatever these jackoffs know about whatever state they're talking about. Come for the stories about a guy in a wheelchair flying down a random hill in South Dakota, stay because quarantine has dictated that you can't leave the country!
