No better way to start October than to watch the workprint of Night of the Living Dead!

#InternationalPodcastDay 2025.

We joined up with Arielle Nissenblatt (EarBuds Podcast Collective.)

You submitted the audio, & a shirt was born!

From English “um” & “uh” to Hindi “are vo” (अरे वो), filler words aren’t just pauses - they're the moments that make us human.

Your “um.” Now wearable.

Watching the new Gianmarco Soresi comedy special, and I have one issue.

How can this spindly-ass man dancing around the stage and oozing theater kid energy in a BOB FOSSE SHIRT be straight!?

It feels like stolen valor, frankly. Good special, though. Really funny!

I finally watched this after multiple suggestions, and it's worth a watch. It hits on how detrimental the manosphere has been to our culture and where it comes from.

Watching Hamilton while fascists dismantle our government just hits different.

The Underworld movies are just Twilight for dudes.

I just realized my friends could very accurately determine every time I poop or go to bed based on when they receive TikToks from me.

A conversation from our wedding last year.

"What's with all the men in kilts? Are they in a club or something?"

Your AC is working overtime this week. Give it a fresh air filter as a little treat!

(It'll also help your AC better keep up with the high temps and slightly lower energy costs)

This is not the cyberpunk dystopia that I imagined. It's far more stupid.
