Zooted Thinkpad Posse

We’re back with another entry in the ZTP journal! We assess each other’s “distress language”, tackle a hypothetical conundrum one might face as a Didfy party attendee (sort of), talk about Bow Wow’s comments regarding Didfy legal woes, and debate whether or not Bow “Shad” Wow is a legend. There’s lots of fun to be had on this one!

Recorded late October.

Golden Mean - Orbit Trip

Jessica Pratt - Get Your Head Out

Welcome back to the the luxury listening experience you're used to here at ZTP HQ! This is a politics-heavy episode after all the stuff that has happened over the last month. But first- some thoughts on Chuck E. Cheese pizza...

Then we get around to talking the Trump assassination attempt, the implications of the JD Vance VP pick, whether or not Kamala is a hottie, and a lot of other random thoughts spurred by recent events.

Dap is back from vacation and finally done editing this episode with powerhouse guest Jin the Ninja! Jin gives us a little background on who he is, and how he came to think (and believe) the way he does. Next we speak about the hot topic of Multipolarity, covering everything from the basic definition, on to the implications of the idea and whether it's based in the reality of today's geopolitics. We cap off talking about Scoob's Discord drama, Jin's favorite video games, and some of the tasty tea recipes from his personal brew book.

Cyraxx, a multi-hyphenate superstar, has led a crazy life online over the years, providing tons of entertainment for his fellow netizens. Join us as Scoob breaks down this complicated figure (more to come in the series).

Eventually we get into the Amanda Seales interview on Club Shay Shay (57:52), figure out whether Dapman is a contrarian (or just a weirdo? 1:19:20), and close off with a chat about the People's Joker, and the student protests against Israel's ongoing war.

We're back with part 2 of the hangout with $pendy O Williams! We got started talking about J Lo's latest film forays, and ranked our top 4 latinas. Then we got to talking about $pendy's forthcoming coffee company, Homeschool Coffee Co. (21:08), and how homeschooling was pivotal in helping her family overcome the cruel indifference in public schools. We then get into why you shouldn't let whatever the day's biggest doom and gloom narrative is stop you from starting a family (28:10), and all the joy that can come from parenthood. We close out talking thrift shop flipping (46:46).

We cap things establishing bar jukebox etiquette and get into how a bar needs to properly curate the 'box to solidify their identity (1:11:26). Part 2 will be great as well, so stay tuned.
