Join hosts Scott and ARealGirl Herself as they pull back the curtain on one of the most theatrical nights in television: the NFL Draft. If you’ve ever felt like the draft was a "members-only" club where you didn't know the password, this episode is for you. We’re stripping away the jargon to explain the fundamental mechanics of how teams actually select players and why a bunch of people in suits making phone calls is unexpectedly gripping. Is it worth watching live? Absolutely. We discuss why the draft is essentially the world’s highest-stakes reality show. You don’t need to know a single stat to appreciate the pure human drama of life-changing moments, heart-wrenching slides, and the strategic "chess match" playing out in real-time. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just here for the outfits and the tension, we’ll give you the confidence to enjoy every minute of the spectacle.

The term "Chaos Night" isn't just hyperbole—it’s the moment months of mock drafts collide with the cold, unpredictable reality of NFL war rooms. With Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza locked in at No. 1, the calm ends the second his name is called. Because there is only one "sure-thing" QB this year, the desperation in Pittsburgh is reaching a boiling point. Whether you've been following every trade or you're just joining us for the ride, Scott and ARealGirl Herself are here to guide you through the madness. They’ll pull back the curtain on how a single phone call can turn the entire league upside down, breaking down the "why" behind the sudden trades and shocking picks in a way that makes sense—even if you don't know a blitz from a lateral. Expect the unexpected as they explain how "sure things" start to slide and why certain teams are suddenly willing to bet it all on a single moment. It’s about more than just stats; it’s about the drama and the life-changing shifts that happen when the clock starts ticking. Tune in to see how the future of the league is reshaped in real-time, and let us handle the heavy lifting of the X's and O's.

In the black of a rainy night, the Stonehewer and an army of hungry day diggers attack Stonehold, retaliating against Lord Hilantra’s troops.  He breached the walls, commanded the night-stalking diggers to kill everyone inside save for one man in particular—Warden Bismarten, who ordered the Stonehewer’s family murdered. Dovokar and two other soldiers are all who remain to fight with Bismarten in this final battle. Will Dovokar fight or retreat?  Written and performed by Scott Sigler Production Assistance by Allie Press Copyright 2026 by Empty Set Entertainment  Theme music is the song “Dark Wave” by Roman Rumyantsev All this could have been an email!

Lord Hilentra is expanding his territory into the foothills of the Broken Spine mountains. His garrison at the new village of Stonehold has laid waste to villages populated by Tandrites, a culture that has mined these foothills for generations. Hilentra relies on Bismarten, the Warden of Stonehold, to lead his troops against these small villages. One of Bismarten’s men, Dovokar, was unable to follow orders to slaughter villagers at Granite Town. Nicknamed “Backstep” because he retreats from battle, Dovokar now finds himself on the receiving end of a slaughter. Saluvaunt, a miner mortally wounded by Bismarten’s men, survived long enough for three mountain witches to find him among the dead. They offered him vengeance against Hilentra and his brutal warden, Bismarten. Dying, with nothing left to lose, Saluvaunt accepted. The witches initiated a dark ritual—one meant to turn a grieving man into something far worse.

Lord Hilentra’s frontier garrison at Stonehold had already earned its reputation.  But the peaceful Tandrites would not just roll over and die. A dark figure known as the Stonehewer has fought back, attacking Cayoncrest, one of Hilentra’s new settlements, slaughtering most of its population.  The Stonehewer attacked, climbing over the wall and opening the gate. Dozens of day diggers rushed in, attacking soldiers and civilians alike. Now, in Part II, we begin to learn who the Stonehewer is and how he came across his terrible powers.

In a dark place on a medieval frontier,  the powers that be are displacing those who have lived there for centuries. Brutal expansion that fuels an inevitable resistance.  Payback delivered in the cold and wet, so far from help it might as well be an island surrounded by an impassible ocean. Because justice is variable, depending on when you live, how you live, and how others may or may not judge you.

Simon Gardner’s life has collapsed into two obsessions: Patty, the woman who left him. And Jack, the musician he’s spent a decade researching. That research went into Simon’s book, Spellbound, about the life, times, and legend of Wailin’ Jack Laurent, the shock-rock pioneer whose song “You’re Under My Spell” made him infamous—and whose rumored voodoo past refuses to stay buried. After acquiring the original recording of that song—an acetate disc seven decades old and on the edge of falling apart—Simon hopes Laurent’s magic is real.Can that old, dark song really weave a spell? Can it bind Simon and Patty together once more?

Screamin’ Jay Hawkins released “I Put a Spell on You” in 1956 on Okeh Records. Elvis Presley released “Heartbreak Hotel” and “Hound Dog,” transforming popular music—and youth culture—almost overnight. The song that would define him was never meant to be a novelty. Hawkins later claimed he recorded it while blackout drunk, so intoxicated that he remembered nothing of the session. The record failed on its initial release, but when it caught on years later, it transformed Hawkins from a struggling musician into a cult figure. “I Put a Spell on You” has been covered countless times and featured in films released decades after its debut. The artists and movies mentioned in this story are real. The song’s cultural afterlife is long, strange, and very well documented. But were Hawkins’s voodoo trappings merely theatrics, or was there something more sinister behind them? Of course it was all for show—almost certainly. Still, the idea that it might not have been was enough to send several fictional possibilities leaping out of the coffin that is this author’s brain. I hope you enjoy “I Put a Spell on You.” Written and performed by Scott Sigler Production Assistance by Allie Press Copyright 2026 by Empty Set Entertainment  Theme music is the song “Dark Wave” by Roman Rumyantsev With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, why not surprise your sweetheart with a new 3-year domain registration?

Johan replaced Renay with Cherry, a newer Trophinae designed to be smoother, smarter, and more intuitive.  Renay, demoted but still devoted, found buried evidence that jealousy and replacement fear had led to violence in earlier models.

At Calista’s club, Icepick has the upper hand. He’s told Callista to call off the transfer of her assets to the drug-dealing goblin Dante Oganov. One of those assets is the contract that keeps Lincoln’s son, Sam, trapped on the Shelf. If Icepick kills Dante, it’s game over—Callista keeps the contract, and Sam remains in this violent purgatory forever. Trying to find a way to win, Lincoln challenged Icepick to a duel to the death. Despite his injuries, Lincoln won that violent duel, breaking Icepick’s arm before putting him down with an armored knee to the balls. That should have been all she wrote, but Icepick—hurt and barely conscious—called for help from his killer diamortuga. With Billy and Dante restrained by magic-suppressing cables, Lincoln is on his own. Can he survive an attack from a two-ton, man-eating turtle?

Icepick and Herbie the Love Bug crashed Dante’s victory party at Callista’s club. Icepick took out Dante, Billy, and Lincoln, and put the “Oleous Oakbeard Big Druid Whammy” on the Cursed Armor of Sir Arnault the Pure. That destroyed the suit and zapped Magda’s spirit back to her body in the Old Stone Church, leaving Billy and Linc at Icepick’s mercy.
