The Nostalgia Pit

Have you been subjected to music against your will? Or have you ever wondered what the difference between a villain and antagonist is? Maybe you’ve found yourself pondering late at night: why does Sunny D have an alcoholic seltzer?

Well, here at the Pit, we’re gonna answer all of your questions and more as we talk about all the above, as well as the life of Steven Segal, media literacy, and Big Willie himself (formerly known as Will Smith). Apologies in advance.

This week we welcome in podcast family. You may recognize his voice from some of the commercials in season 1, but he is also responsible for the podcast’s artwork! Not only that, Wizdumb is a legend in the Seattle hip hop scene and a master of the faceswap.

We talk everything from pen & pixel album art, DMT, and selling used underwear. We also talk about whip-its, chip flavors of yesteryears, and Kevin’s new muckbang enthusiasm.

What do New Zealand accents, Christmas music, and fleshlights all have in common? Well… Nothing really, but we do talk about all three and more today! Why, you ask? There’s only one way to find out: listen to this week’s episode!

We also take the listening audience behind the scenes to name a new segment as well as talk roasted chestnuts, the importance of origin stories, and butthole tattoos. Not only that, we go spelunkin’ back to 1999 to dig into some potentially problematic lyrics.

It’s time for Mayhem! Mutant Mayhem, that is! Today we take a journey into the brand new TMNT animated film. If you weren’t able to tell by our 66th episode, we really enjoy the turtles of a mutant ninja variety, so we figured it would be a disservice to the listening audience if we ignored this cinematic expedition into our very own pits of nostalgia. SPOILER ALERT! We do talk details of the film, so if you plan on seeing it before you listen to this, hit pause now!

Rob gives us a patented review of the new film, but that’s not all we talk about! We discuss the productive prowess of the one Jermaine Dupris, ergot poisoning, the battle between Sega and Nintendo of the early to mid nineties. We also dive into all things turtles, so get your wet suits on… It’s time to dive in.

Time to put our semi-sweet serious hats on and talk malarkey… That’s right! We sit down to talk about growing up with a cavalcade of world ending events constantly on the horizon, cultural trauma, and the paradox of tradition. We also talk the NFL’s non-profit status, how Burger King is being sued, and children being raised by the emotionally unavailable and/or immature.

This episode the crew gets lost in the sauce… Hot sauce, that is. While discussing furries, they stumble upon a goldmine of absurdity including one of the most racist halloween costumes imaginable via greatmascots.com When the time comes, we encourage you to scroll along with us. That's right! This one's a participatory episode...

Not only that, but Rob somehow manages to cancel himself TWICE in the same episode! Worst of all, the crew manages to ensure that E-40 will never be a guest here in the Pit…

And make sure you stay tuned til the end for the song What If by Portland emcee Po$tul8.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to overdose on meth while running from the Nazis? Or perhaps everytime you heard One Week by the Barenaked Ladies, you thought to yourself: “...what in the world is this song about?!” Or maybe you’ve always wondered what doctor can amputate a leg the fastest… Well folks, as you’ve got the questions, we have the answers!

Besides all that fun, we talk the fallible nature of science, conspiracy theories, and fucked up movies.

Shoutout to our resident spleen for the commercials.
