Advertise on podcast: You Know What's Cool?

Well, it's nearly Halloween, folks! It's Andy's favorite time of year! Well, mostly. It's complicated, actually. Come listen to Andy and Zach discuss Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes! But that's not all. Andy also takes a trip back to his own teenage years, reflecting on friendship, growing older, and his time with the boys of October. Content Note: This episode includes a personal discussion of jr. high school bullying, mental health, and references to suicide. These subjects are discussed in the context of our experiences growing up. If that isn't cool - maybe skip this one.

Well, this is gonna be a bit of a sad one. Zach wanted to wade into the deep end on something pretty important going on in Utah right now: the slow death of the Great Salt Lake. So it's a bit of a "You Know What's (Not) Cool?" style episode. We'll see how we feel about these kinds of episodes going forward. But in the meantime, come listen in as the boys get a little nostalgic for their home state.

Okay, it's a bit of a weird one, isn't it? But Andy really likes cooking. He thinks it's cool! So come listen in as he walks Zach through the highs and lows of his journey to become a guy who can cook his own chili. - Long story short, there is a guild ladder involved and a lot of discussion about food!

Oh! We're back again!? Pretty fast right? (for us anyway) Well, Zach has the itch, and we gotta let him scratch it. Let's sit down and listen to him cover the last of the resident evil games (the games he has played with his kids that is…) Will this episode be the one to get Andy to play more of these games?   Let's find out!

We're back! You know what's (not) cool? – How long we take to get episodes out. But, do you know what's cool? – Resident Evil! Zach and his kids sure do love Resident Evil. It's true. Come hang out, let's listen to him tell the story of how much of a terrible parent he is dragging his kids through the blood gore of these games!

Oh, we're still a thing, and we're back baby! Well, we continue the story of the first of our Plantagenet Rulers - King Henry the 2nd, again. – But for the last time. I promise. And then were going to move onto the rest of these of these characters. Thank you so much for listening. It truly means the world to us.

It's a bizarre adventure, remember?

Oh man, you can't escape from Final Fantasy content these days, can you? It's everywhere! Andy is FF-Curious though and wants to know more.  So, he asked his good friend Chris to take him through one of them. You know, to see what was cool. Chris chooses Final Fantasy 7. It's Chris's favorite from the series. Let's listen together to Chris' dubious FF7 claims.   We talked about more Final Fantasy through the lens of its recent Magic the Gathering release, over on Andy's other podcast. If you're interested: LCP Final Fantasy episode.   Also, what is the Egyptian room?

Steam? Where we're going... we don't need Steam. Pc gaming in the nineties! It wasn't easy, it wasn't convenient, and it certainly wasn't for the impatient. But, it was the best times we ever had.  Come listen to Andy take Zach through some of the games he played on his first PC. All of them were shareware games, the coolest way to get your game on back in the day!   Somehow someway we survived long enough to make 30 episodes. Thanks for listening!

What now?! Zach is into some weird new stuff. Especially this time. It's an upcoming table top game called Trench Crusade.  Listen in as Zach gushes over the setting, lore, and grim dark aesthetic of … the far past.   Check out the details here: Trench Crusade

Well, we continue the story of the first of our Plantagenet Rulers - King Henry the 2nd. Andy is still interested in this topic, so we are going forward with more!  Come listen to Andy take Zach through some of what made him a great, and not so great Plantagenet king! This is going to be a long series, which is cool!

Oh, boy! ... Oh, man! Oh, MEGA MAN!!! More Mega Man! Cole is back by popular demand! Come listen along with Zach and Andy as he takes us through the postapocalyptic anime-style hellscape that is Mega Man Zero!  You know, its actually cool. Come listen in and see if you agree!

Zach just likes movies. Zach especially likes movies that take place in Medieval Europe! From Sword Fights to Time Travel – The Medieval Movies That Will Blow Your Mind! (Andy has never seen most of them.)
