Ever gotten really into a show but realized the last season was 5 years ago? You just wanted to squeeze a little more out of it. You felt like there was more story to tell. Then you do a little quick googling and see that it’s been renewed for a whole new season! Sure, some of the characters are changed out and the main plot is a little different, but you got your wish! All is right with he world. Then… you watch it. Every bit of love you had for it just goes straight down the drain and you wish you had just left things where they were. That’s what we discuss this week, reboots and spin-offs. Granted there are some great ones that either are a good expansion of what came before or take the in show universe to a whole new level. Check out this week’s episode and see if you agree, disagree, or want to bring up any we forgot to mention. Enjoy! -C

Ever taken stock of your life, really reflected on the the experiences you’ve had and all the things you’ve overcome and thought, “If I had a camera crew follow me around to get all this I’d be famous”. Well… one, you don’t want a camera crew watching 24/7 always rolling tape in case something interesting happened, and two, you’re life isn’t nearly as exciting to other people as you think it is. The people in today’s episode didn’t get the memo. We get into reality tv and how it’s shaped the world. Does it bring any positivity to the world or have we been just become addicted to mind numbing voyeurism. Give this a listen and see what we think. Enjoy! - C

If you combined every dollar you've spent on a subscription service you didn't actually use, how much money would you have today? Enough to payoff a few credit cards, maybe cover rent for the month, enough to buy a Cybertruck so you can slap a "I bought this before Elon went crazy" bumper sticker? This week we're talking about all the subscription services that run our lives. All the must haves with the huge price hikes and the not-so-worth it ones that we forgot to cancel. This is an episode everyone can relate to. Enjoy! -C

Does reading JG Wentworth's name immediately trigger an ear worm in your brain like some kind of pop culture sleeper agent?

Maybe you've also watched one too many nearly identical super bowl ad compilations. Whatever the case, if you were an avid TV watcher in the 90's or early 2000's, this episode is for you.

Today we're talking advertisements (again), product placement, and the magic of jingles that will far outlive the companies they promote. No politics this episode, scout's honor.

Enjoy!-S

P.S. Am I the only one who thinks a new Freecreditreport jingle would put us back in the original timeline?

Is any publicity actually good publicity? Where's the line between being just controversial enough that everyone's talking, but not so much you closing your doors 6 months later? This episode we get into missteps in advertising and how it turned out for the brands in question. Started off talking about the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad that we realized it took just about the entire thing so part 2 will be available after. Enjoy! - C

I would prefer to never be in a situation where I could drown or suffocate. How many times am I in a situation where that's a possibility, not as much as my brain would have me think. Doesn't mean I don't have a fear of it happening at any moment. That's why this week's episode is all about phobias. Don't worry we're not interested in discussing the random "-ists" and "-phobes" you might be labeled as on X, we're talking about the ones some people might be too ashamed to admit or didn't even know it had a name. Enjoy!- C

If someone asked another person to describe you, what would they say? Would they have to think about it for a bit and come back with a list of all the things that make you, you? Or could you be summed up in one word? Well, for today's episode, we're talking about the latter. We're diving deep into the people whose dream house is a castle and doesn't mind a mouse or two running around. We're talking Disney Adults. What makes them so easy to pick out of a crowd. Why they want to make their entire personality based around this corporation of movies and theme parks. We even brought in a special guest to help us get to the bottom of it. Enjoy!-C

Part 2 of last week's episode. This one we get into the actors that were able to break away from the preconceived notions, the typecasting, the pigeonholing and become more than just a one trick pony. They can do it all, to varying degrees of success.

The last part of the episode turns into a kind of eulogy to one of the greats and the merits of a while well-lived. Just a warning, there is talk of this actor's suicide at the end. So, allow me to get on my soapbox for a moment. If you feel hopeless, like life is unbearable, or just completely alone, please reach out to someone. There's 8 point something billion people in the world, there's someone who has walked the path you're on or pretty close to it. Maybe you reaching out can save 2 lives. Always feel free to reach out to one of us, we'd love to chat. Sermon complete.

I tried out something new with this episode. It took me way longer than I thought it would, but I think it was time well spent. Let me know what you think. Enjoy!-C
