Misfigured Life

Let’s rob a bank. We’re gonna need balaclavas, gas masks, smoke grenades, guns, syringes, a boat, a submarine, a team of at least three, and an inside man.  

Ever been in an awkward silence wishing you could fill it? Ever told a story that fell flat? Ever heard a story and wished you could take back the time that person just wasted? Then you get it. Let’s fix that and lay out how to tell a non-garbage story.  

Today's episode we break down the considerations, options, and tactics to possibly win a run-of-the-mill street fight, assuming you're an average human with no combative training or experience.  

If you've ever wanted to pretend you're a secret agent, stalk your girlfriend, or get in your house after forgetting your keys - this is what you need. We're gonna breakdown what a tumbler pin lock is made of, easily build the tools to pick it from scratch-ish, then pick an actual lock.  

We take a crack at the incredibly overdone task of surviving the wild. Unlike most of the garbage advice I found, we'll assume you're not conveniently holding a bag full of camping equipment when the day comes. In Part One, we tackle Finding Water, Purifying that water, and creating Fire like a caveman. 

This episode we'll break down how to know if your tires are trashed, survive the blow-out that happens when you abuse and ignore your tires for too long, and then change that tire on the side of the road in the rain.  

Have an annoying friend that always recommends bowling as an alternative to sitting around? Are YOU that annoying friend? Here's a 15minute crash course on the Concept, Rules, Scoring, Technique, Considerations, and Etiquette, of the most prestigious and noble sport among balding middle-aged alcoholics.  

This one's a doozy. We're gonna try to compress the entire concept and necessary associated steps with Starting A Podcast into a single episode. Buckle up. We're gonna breeze through some quick Background, how to narrow your Topic, discuss the best Recording Equipment, how to Use that equipment, some basics on Reverb and Mic Technique, touch on Editing, explain Publishing, and close with the hardest part - Marketing.  

Lets take some pictures. Finally understand what Focal Length and Aperture actually are and what they do for you, learn how to effectively leverage Lighting, position your photo-shoots against Backgrounds that do you favors, get the Subject of your photography in the right mindset, and add some flavor to their Poses, and your Perspectives. 

For our first episode ever, we'll start with Googling, because it turns out there's a lot of Googly stuff people don't use. We'll hit up Search Modifiers to make those searches more precise, Reverse Image search so you can more effectively stalk people, Tools and Games that are built in to the search page, Alerts so you can always know when things you care about are mentioned in the world, and Google Scholar so you can start using REAL information to win arguments.
