This week we have Kate Nyx, a Renaissance woman that also knows about Renaissance faires. While Noelle and Kate talk a bit about Faire Life we dive into other topics, burlesque, costuming, sex work, weirdest wrestling costuming request, why communication would be important in Armageddon. As we end Mental Health Awareness month we go into a heap of talk about her own mental issues along things such as concussions in the NFL and how consent is a thing that even in a fictional universe you should get because your brainmeats might not tell the difference. We dive into aspects of mental health, mostly invisible disabilities, and concussions.

Here is all of her stuff...

THE NEXT EPISODE IS NOT A GREATEST HITS EPISODE! WE HAVE A GUEST!

No Spoilers here folks, that's left for the bonus footage on Patreon (early access to that bonus footage available now, almost 20 minutes of more conversation). We talk about toxic and non-toxic masculinity, trying to force rivalries even if it's with oneself, how to combine skills to make better people. We talk about James Gunn and should there be a statute of limitations on digging into someone's past just to punish them now for saying stupid stuff in the past (no we aren't talking about Cosby/Weinstein and the idea of forgiving them). Noelle and Gretchen speak a lot about ADHD and medication factors. Honestly, we go through a bunch of stuff from mental health to race to everything, and we even got our first question sent to us about music to smash the Patriarchy too!

Spoilers a plenty folks... Noelle wanted to talk about Endgame. Gretchen (Gothbarbie 3000) watched Endgame, and I just basically sat and listened to them squee about Endgame. If you want to listen to two Aunt Mays curse and shout over a movie, you're in for a treat.

The reason that this is an episode that while there are massive spoilers, there are a lot of themes in this conversation about feminism, equality, toxic and non-toxic masculinity, that are important to show in art and to discuss. This is almost an hour of conversation about the movie. We do talk about greater themes from the movie in the part 2 of the podcast (which is the bulk podcast) but people want their Endgame fix so here it is.

Next Monday is part 2 (which is basically just without the Endgame spoilers).

This is an unedited rant podcast due to Bill's computer difficulties...so you get to witness the live discord experience with all the awkward pauses in silent rage....and it is important. During this podcast there was the active shooter at the UNC Charlotte Campus (we were correct that it was a white guy). They talk about dismantling the toxic tropes that men are forced to follow, Arya Stark isn't a Mary Sue, American Gods, NFL Draft pick Corey Ballentine shooting and much much more...

Holy Shit...we talked for 3 and a half hours. 45 mintues is on early access patreon mini episodes that will be out on Tuesday. This is 2:30 hours long as it is as we talk about an array of topics from race, religion, Nathan Pyle's Boilerplate Apology, why isn't Bill dead, the start and continuation of Alpha Riff's digital champions. This has a bunch of music from Alpha Riff who does our general show theme but we wanted to highlight some other music (including an song thrown in due to an awkward uneditable transition). This includes Alpha Riff's take on Kofi Kingston winning the WWE Title.

The bonus episodes that are on patreon feature things such as Food Quirks (Digital Champions Malt Vinegar) and ranting about why breaking up the New Day now is racist plus how incels become incels via a cracked article, which lead into talks about cults.

The story is that we had Alpha Riff on for an interview. It was a great interview. Discord ate the interview. Sleep ate Bill's Brain when when he should have been editing the podcast. This is just some bonus info from that. We will be re-doing the Alpha Riff interview, at least attempting the 2nd part of it in 2 weeks.

4/2/2019 we will be doing a live topic dive podcast on Discord.

We have Renee Ritche, freelance RPG writer and contributing writer for Onyx Path Publishing and By Night Studios. We didn't call her this on the podcast but one of the nicknames is Grandmama as she plays our lineage lead in one of the LARP games we play/played in. Little girls make Bill cry (about Captain Marvel). Noelle says General Leia is a Sith. Noelle speaks about an Ohio cop that killed a woman that wouldn't have sex with him. Other topics include sex work, the overlap between the kink and larp communities in regards to practices of community, safety, and consent. Renee also talks about representation in gaming and how she worked to have the writing in gaming books she worked on to show more inclusive aspects. Renee and Noelle also geeked out over the new She-Ra.

Also it appears that Noelle will be regularly squealing about American Gods.

Bill just smiled and nodded and kept saying to himself "Yes, yes, my masterplan is working perfectly. I don't get to talk and I get to watch progress happen right before my eyes!" This episode caused us to drop almost 20 total minutes to Patreon for Behind the Scenes and Bonus Features!

There is so much to unpack in our first episode. We talk about the recent issues with one racist woman saying that black people are stealing from white culture, to the WWE, to Rampage, to Noelle's rant about the Silent Hill Movie, to gender performance. Errick is our guest, the Merman from Durmstrang as he also speaks about his experiences as a trans dude. As he says throughout this podcast, there is so much to unpack. I couldn't keep up with all the cursing for a counter.
