Akrasia

This week begins with discussion of time management, and how everything takes longer than you think it will.

Your hosts have applied for TSA Pre-Check! Matt is still going to get to the airport two hours early to play it safe, but Tyler feels more daring. Either way, it’s worth spending the money to eliminate something annoying.

Next, Tyler talks about his recent trip to Atlanta. This includes his experiences with a popular food delivery app and Magic: The Gathering.

This leads to the topic of Tyler’s bedroom. He talks about the changes he’s making and why. Buying a bed becomes a bigger problem than expected.

Matt goes camping.

Matt and Tyler are joined by their good friend Jamie for this episode! Immediately there is a discussion about which one of them is a bigger bully.

The first mini-topic is Survivor and Matt’s application video. Unfortunately, the content of the video is something he’s keeping to himself for now.

A second Matt-based mini-topic is about his recent experience at Disney World. He got early access to the new Tron ride, and Tyler wants all the details. Jamie asks what Tron is, but the boys aren’t even sure.

The main topic this week is the governor of Florida, and the conclusion to the Reedy Creek saga.

Your hosts jump right into the main topic this week with the news that Bob Iger is returning as Disney CEO. They discuss the problems with Bob Chapek, a small update on Reedy Creek, and what should be done about Hulu and ESPN.

The rest of the show is a series of mini-topics. These include Taylor Swift and Ticketmaster, Netflix and their theatrical strategy, and sports.

New content from Star Wars and Marvel is discussed (no spoilers), with a digression about learning guitar. Some franchise fatigue is setting in!

The first half of this episode is mostly about Tyler’s recent trip to Atlanta. He talks about AWA, the COVID protocols there, and a local haunted house. There are many digressions including, but not limited to, Pokémon, new iOS features, and bedsheets.

The second half of this episode is mostly about Elon Musk’s recent purchase of Twitter. Matt hasn’t been following it closely, but the fact that he’s heard so much about it isn’t a good sign.

For the final topic tonight, if you’re going to do a parody biopic, it must be about the parody king himself. Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is worth the watch.

This week begins with a quick review of the recent Weird Al concert in Orlando, which leads to revisiting the When We Were Young festival. Maybe it was only kind of a scam? Maybe this will actually be an ongoing thing?

After some concert talk, Tyler talks about voting. It’s kind of a laborious process, but now he can help his friends if they need it. Somehow this leads to a discussion of Kanye West.

The final topic is cloud storage. Tyler might need a new solution soon, and Matt makes the topic interesting by talking about different family traditions.

This week starts with talk about the midterm elections and Florida’s weird rules. Tyler still has to do research on the issues, but Matt doesn’t even have his ballot yet.

Next, your hosts discuss some recent Marvel projects. Not only did they drop a Halloween special, but they also released the Daredevil episode of She-Hulk. Matt Murdock is back!

Tyler gives an update on Reedy Creek, which raises questions about why this all happened in the first place. Matt has an answer, but it’s depressing as hell.

After some complaining about music, this episode ends with discussion about Stanley Kubrick films.
