We discuss the extreme awkwardness of tipping for services in a mostly cashless society, citing various personal examples from the Big Mouse and Prof T!

The Big Mouse and Professor T dial back the years to 1990, as they present their real origin story. 

Join us for a chat about the fake origin stories behind EMDR Therapy, Volkswagen, & Nike. We also chat briefly about the non-fake origins of Feckology and reflect on recent listener interactions. Absolutely!

On this week's Feckology, The Big Mouse and Professor T address some listener feedback, then delve into the topic of people who walk around in public places while looking at their phones. As a semi-regular jogger, The Big Mouse finds this practice quite irritating, and feel the offenders act like NPCs from Grand Theft Auto. As an offender himself, Professor T examines why he is the way he is.

Join the proverbial Big Mouse and Professor T for an analysis of the declining quality of Netflix, and the accompanying rise of the Typical Netflix Movie. All based on the below excellent article by @wtavlin https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-49/essays/casual-viewing/ 

Let us know what you think, dear listener. Are you content with Netflix's substandard content? 

Does travel narrow the mind? Do you always take yourself with you on holidays?

Join the Big Mouse and Prof T for an analysis of two popular love songs - from the perspective of the creeped-out recipient of the lyrics.

Traynor, now reverting to his previous persona of "Professor T" (we'll have to change the theme song), and The Big Mouse, return for Season 2 of Feckology. Discussing new year's resolutions, losing the ability to read books, lacking enthusiasm for podcasting, different types of creative fulfilment, and Gen Z phrases. This one is as loose and rusty as you might expect after a long hiatus!

Sorry Listener, we could not do an episode as intended due to Life - Again. Instead, please enjoy this new song by the Big Mouse using an AI created beat. See you soon!

In this episode, Traynor and The Big Mouse discuss the topic of AI-generated music, the implications this may have on the music industry, and generate some AI songs in real time (and play them)!
