SMPH. A Brilliantly Stupid Podcast.

By Ami Cooke

When you take things too seriously, they tend to stop being fun.

In my desire to make this work, I was trying ENTIRELY too damned hard.

I've realized the closest I can get to brilliance is by way of... more

May 03, 2023 Tears, Leaks, Jerks, and Gems
THIS WEEK ON THE PROGRAM:

My damned computer died, last week. Took the whole damned episode, with it.

On the plus side, however, this means we have a chance to talk about some juicy stuff THIS week!

The full finished ROM of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom leaked on Monday; I'll talk about why these clout-chasing clowns are going to ruin gaming for the rest of us.

Social media too often fuels the desperate NEED for validation that can be found in the aforementioned acts. I'll be talking about how those kinds of attitudes affect us ALL adversely.

Finally, I want to share with you a true "Gem of the Gem City" which I will be presenting every week.

It's a packed one, and it's HERE.

Come feed your ears.

April 19, 2023 Tears of the Kingdom Preview
On this special edition of SMPH:

The Legend of Zelda franchise has become one of Nintendo's flagship brands over the last thirty-six years, and if you ask around, it's easy to understand why.

It's also been one of the cornerstones of my development, as a person. On this edition, I take some time to explain what the franchise means to me, and why I'm so thoroughly excited for the arrival of May 12, and the release of the franchise's newest offering: Tears of the Kingdom. I'll also discuss many of the new additions that make this game FAR more than "glorified DLC", as so many internet whiners would like to insist that it is.

The best is yet to come, so join me with this edition, and feed those (pointy) ears.

December 06, 2022 Why So Serious?
I got so absolutely frustrated with attempting to record last week's episode, that I decided to slam the brakes and reevaluate everything I was doing.

Ultimately, I realized I wasn't having any fun.

So, as I said I would, I'm tweaking the format again.

More like this, to come.

November 18, 2022 This One's Got Some Weight To It
This week on the program:

All Elite Wrestling was supposed to be the alternative to the "Evil Empire"; a renegade company that was supposed to make wrestling feel like a sport, again. Unfortunately, it feels a lot like worst franchises of modern memory. We take a look at how vanity and ineptitude have left All Elite Wrestling almost extinct.

Food delivery services were supposed to be the ultimate answer to a question that, for a long time, nobody thought to ask. As it turns out, it's only led to harder questions.

In addition, I break out the soapbox to remind both sides of the hyperpartisan American landscape why I'm so irritated by both.

And finally, I explain why I'm never out to redefine [blank], and why it's less important than giving you the best [blank] you ever had.

Come feed your ears.

November 10, 2022 World Cups and Crabassery
On this week's program:

The 2022 FIFA World Cup has been mired in controversy since its selection process fourteen years ago. The location, the government of the host nation, the selection process...every bit of it have been a firestorm, in one form or another. Will I watch it? Will YOU watch it?

Democracy and "Always Getting Your Way" aren't synonyms anymore than "compromise" or "capitulation" are, regardless of what talking heads might continue to insist.

The ICC Men's T20 World Cup is about to wrap up in Australia, and it might be the best sport you're not watching. I'll tell you how I discovered the game, and how it's managed to shoot into my Top 3 favorite sports to watch.

Finally, passive aggression is the toxic cocktail of bravado and cowardice. It wrecks so many aspects of personal and professional life, and one wrestling company in Jacksonville recently gave a VERY public example of both why AND how. Why can't people just be direct?

Join us, Sunday, 10:00 AM Eastern, everywhere you find your favorite podcasts.

Come feed your ears.

November 06, 2022 Not Quitting. Neither the Show, Nor the Bitching.
The last two weeks have been an absolute shitshow. But don't think for a second that I'm giving up simply because some things have been rough.
That's never been my style, anyhow.
I'm tweaking the format, but I'm not dumbing it down, unlike Windows.
Nor like magazines, which now possess the depth and substance of a children's picture book.
Nor like society, in general, which has chosen to absolutely refuse to engage with or address anything it perceives as "unpleasant".
The show rolls on, Sunday, 10:00A, Eastern.
Come feed your ears.

On this week's episode:

Revisionist history is for chumps.

I'm cursed by creeps.

Sunday, 10/16, 10:00AM Eastern.
Come feed your ears.
