198: Absorb Your Chi, Man

Somehow Rocky does a whole 40+ minute "mini" about the Fast Saga/franchise. He watched F9 on opening night (or is it still considered preview night?) and decided to give his thoughts on the 20 years of Fast & Furious flicks and rank them (for the hell of it).

This week's mini is a bit more of a mixed bag when I share a few thoughts/updates on a variety of subjects - starting off by giving a few more thoughts on how utterly terrible and broken the FL unemployment assistance system is, a bit of personal promotion for Patreon, some heavier politically-oriented thoughts based mostly around Juneteenth, and it gets wrapped up with some quick thoughts on the first two episodes of Loki that have aired.

In this mini episode, I get right down to the [not-so-great] news of the day: being laid off from work. It definitely sucks and I'm still trying to rationalize it all, but that's a thing that happened and I felt the need to talk about it really quick and share with the podcast subscribers. Until next time. - Rocky

So, I didn't really want to jump into the big deep subject matter on the first mini-sode and since none of this is too planned out or pre-written (which you can definitely tell), I  figured I would start with something on the lighter side of things that I had experienced on the day I recorded this - those damned car caravans blocking up traffic in order to celebrate ____________. Don't worry though, these won't all be just one-sided conversations of me complaining about arbitrary subjects - and I plan on keeping them to a length of about 10-15 minutes, on average. Next one is already recorded and will be posted soon.

Hey hey! How the heck are ya?? Good, I hope. It's been a while and we aren't back juuuust yet but we do have a small update for everyone just to let y'all know what's been going on and how we're looking to proceed with the podcast. Keep an eye on the feed for more frequent posts - large or small. See ya soon. ✌︎('ω')✌︎

Well lookee what we have here... Somehow we neglected to post the last pre-COVID 19 recording - what horrible screw-ups we are (well...at least one of us). No additional summary here, just enjoy the sounds of some jackasses hanging out before our lives were fairly upended by all the craziness going on in the world. Enjoy and stay safe and WASH YOUR HANDS!

Random topics discussed on this episode (in no particular order): Late-night tv What we watched as kids Garbage reality shows The Real World The Amazing Jonathan documentary Answer the Internet questions Rocky's take on religion Rick's Fleshlight All of the Pornhub categories Enjoy.

We kick off this week's podcast as we do many others, just kind of meandering around subjects - in this case, it's talking about movies. After a bit, we hone in on a more centralized discussion point - that being reviewing the recently announced Oscar nominees and giving our thoughts on those films we watched in 2019...both the highs and lows. Enjoy.

In which our heroes go into an unnecessary long discussion about fireworks and the legality of said fireworks in our local Miami. Rocky also reveals the ridiculous t-shirt he designed for/about Rick (follow the link: 'Ricky, Though‽') and tries to convince Rick to buy one. We also chat about things to do with the ridiculous designs Rocky makes of the boys (see the 'Chrisace' or 'Sleepy Chris'), which then takes a turn into random Chinese products that Rick and his friends would order in years past.  Lastly, we finally get around to breaking down both Episode IX (The Rise of Skywalker) and The Mandalorian. Enjoy.

Because we're extremely topical, the frontend of this week's podcast discusses Chris' mortality and how it may relate to the Popeye's Chicken Sandwich - additionally, we talk about how foolish some people act for a goddamn sandwich. We then once again dip our toe in the realm of sneakers and [naturally] segue into discussing Kanye's latest: Jesus Is King - which takes us down a path where Rick shares how/why he disconnects from various forms of religion-centric music before circling back to some of the Kanye discography. Lastly, as Star Wars become more and more prevalent in popular culture, leading towards Rise of Skywalker, we take another moment to chat about it and evaluate where we each stand on the overall Star Wars saga as of this time. Enjoy.
