My desire to make thing stems from what 5-year-old me considered to be the peak of comedy: flash cartoons lampooning the dictator of Iraq and a certain famous terrorist leader in the early 2000's.Those and my older brothers making goofy videos caused me to want to make my own goofy stuff. I tried making stick figure cartoons in Microsoft Paint, stop motion cartoons with legos, and finally sketch videos in college, to now podcasts. Needless to say, content creation has been on my mind basically for the life cycle of the modern internet, and we're talking about it today on the podcast.

Yeah, I put friggin Scared Kirby on the thumbnail. Sure it's not a multiplayer game, who asked you, nerd? Narc? Whatcha going to do? Call the niche podcast thumbnail police? File a report of a violation of gamer code 420 that I didn't do my gamer homework and published a non-related picture on my own dang podcast thumbnail? Deal with it, I think Scared Kirby looks funny.  Different sort of podcast this week, we're discussing multiplayer games and why many iterations these days don't quite suit our fancy (Mainly Reilly) (0:00) Banter, Grommit's clay (17:30) Saltcast Warning, Topic

Unlike the series, we’re going to try and be concise and end things in a prompt enough fashion. Long story short, after lots of tall boys get killed by short kings who in turn were getting squished by the tall boys, Mikasa chops Eren’s head off and cries uwu, and ultimately the short kings win out. Except they merely live to die another day in another war against another enemy facing complete destruction or whatever.

You wouldn't steal a book would you? Apparently this girl does like all the time and she's celebrated for it. How backwards is that? Like, the first time, she can't even read, steals a book, and learns how to read with it. That'd be like if I stole a car and learned how to drive with it and then was celebrated as a monumental achievement under difficult circumstances. Whatever. I think I got the order of our pre-recorded episodes correctly, the timeline in my head for the last month of podcasting is all kinds of screwed up so enjoy our podcast on The Book Thief I guess.

Gettin tired of my just listing things off that Minnesotans say huh? Yeah, this here's the Palladian Papists episode on the Coen brothers' "Fargo." Ok, Minnesota nice turned off for a second. You dirty dogs mocked us for decades for our quaint little accents in our weird frozen backcountry tundra, and it tooked a film named after a town in North Dakota mostly filmed in Canada and takes place largely in the Twin Cities for you to pay attention to us huh? A grisly murder mystery to grab your MSG addled brain's attention. And you'll go back to not giving two darns about Minnesota when you're done here I bet. Fer shame. I'm turning the nice back on now. Watch out for deer now ok on your way home all right? And make sure you got a jumper cable and a winter survival kit in yer car cuz ya never know.

I didn't forget to upload this episode a week ago, shut up. Except for the banter and random updates we have about our lives I'll have you know that our content constitutes what we call in the podcast biz "evergreen content", meaning stuff that isn't topical and time-sensitive, so there. This week's episode is on the League of Legends series on Netflix "Arcane."

Ok, I'll give a little bit of explanation on this thumbnail because I'm insecure in my choice and feel the need to justify it to you. I thought I'd do a silly image of the Rebels from Star Wars Battlefront II but not the the new one, the old one. I couldn't find any good ones though so I settled for this picture from the new Star Wars Battle Front II which really should be Battlefront IV but here we are. The reason I wanted to show the rebel characters in Star Wars Battlefront II (the old one) is because they're kind of a**holes in the game and we're kinda crapping on the trope of Rebel = Good Guy so I thought I'd throw those guys under the bus, but now I'm just rambling.

I often feel bad because whenever there's coffee and donuts, a veritable institution and mainstay of the American Church, I never have cash on me to put into the free will offering basket. I guess I repay my debt by producing a podcast for free. Or something. Is this a service to the Church? I dunno man. I'm just gonna keep plugging away at this.  Haha, got vulnerable there, just like a certain little Matt Damon did with Robin Williams in the film "Good Will Hunting."

We're back again. Again. However many breaks we've taken, whatever. Enjoy it while it lasts folks because goodness knows how long or when the next hiatus will be. Regardless, in this episode we're talking about the true story of Bl. Franz Jägerstätter as portrayed in the film "A Hidden Life."

BUT NOW YOU'RE a BURNIN the SPAGHETTI. Testing, testing, 1,2,3? Had to do that . It's episode 123 of the podcast for crying out loud. Enjoy this first episode after hiatus. Will it be immediately followed by another one? Hopefully not. In the meantime however, enjoy our discussion of La La Land. Also, if you get the riddle wrong, the penguin mafia (not Colin Farrell) will come to your house. So think wisely.
