SM Soup

Today Spencer (@thebasementgamr) and Shelby (@shelbylynnlives) go over their biggest takeaways from 1 year of marriage and 8 years of dating. Oh and they FINALLY watched the newest Mission Impossible!

Today Spencer (@thebasementgamr) and Shelby (@shelbylynnlives) sit down to tell a tale. The tale of their relationship and how they've never ever ever EVER had any problems. Anyway, come back next week for the dos and don'ts of marriage!

Today Spencer (@thebasementgamr) comes to Shelby (@shelbylynnlives) seeking guidance. Why are people out here defending systemically bad ideas? Why does it feel like we are arguing for the sake of arguing and so adverse to change? Well, Shelby can't answer all of those questions but she might be able to shine some light on how we react to these feelings.

Check out the following resources that Shelby references:

Woah 45 minutes to get to the greatest April Fool's of all time? Didn't see that one coming! Well, Shelby (@shelbylynnlives) didn't. So congratulations Spencer (@thebasementgamr) you win this year.

The long-awaited deep dive on cults episode is here! Today we discuss what is and is not a cult and the repercussions that could occur from labeling something as such. As Shelby (@shelbylynnlives) kept recommending, check out: "Cultish: The Language of Fantaciscm" by Amanda Montell. And let Spencer (@thebasementgamr) know he perfectly handled all technical aspects of this episode while feeding Grogu!

Woah who's that disembodied voice we hear?! Mike? Resident cult expert and co-host of Good Game Bad Game Podcast? That's crazy! Shelby (@shelbylynnlives), Spencer (@thebasementgamr) and Mike all bring a cult of their own making to present and they decide who did it best!

What's the biggest contributor to the advancement of communication and technology?

This is a wild episode. What would we do if the other forgot who they were? How has technology advanced because of the glam industry and scammers? Contemplate all of this and more this week with Spencer (@thebasementgamr) and Shelby (@shelbylynnlives).

Spencer (@thebasementgamr) and Shelby (@shelbylynnlives) were feeling starved of rambling for an hour so this one is all over the place! How do they handle the public pressure of enjoying digital media? And of course, we hit on the classic story of corporate greed allowing companies to do whatever the hell they want.

The time has finally come! SM Soup's first movie club where we watch all of the Academy Awards Best Picture Nominees from a randomly selected year. We began with the year 1983. Did Robert Duvall deserve to win best actor? Did Terms of Endearment deserve to win it all? Was The Dresser robbed? We discuss all of this and so much more. Follow @SMSoupPodcast on socials to see the next roundup of movies that we will discuss on April 29th.

Shelby (@shelbylynnlives) and Spencer (@thebasementgamr) got tattoos! Hear all about their Valentine's week until they inevitably rant for the rest of the episode. Ultimately if you see a news source with the word opinion after it, RUN. And we've come to the conclusion no famous people can enjoy anything publicly ever again. Come back next Monday for our first movie club!
