Stardew Folly

IT'S EVERYONE'S FAVORITE INTERCALARY EVENT!!! 2024 Leap Day is HERE (or was recently!) and we have a packed show to celebrate. FEATURING: in-depth discussion of kangaroo pouches, an "Advice Corner" on whether someone is as an a-hole for just being born on Leap Day, a rediscovery of the Webby-award winning Hulu series Leap Year (which you likely have never heard of even though it had a cameo by Steven Weber) and a Sport Short on great moments in Leap Day history. You'll never guess why Alex Ovechkin's career was RUINED by Leap Day. 

As always thank you for listening. Find us on Twitter and Discord! 

We take a spin in WikiRoulette to see what random Wikipedia topics we land on to explore, which leads down a rabbit hole of some band dance-emo music. Nicky presents his long-awaited Animal Sounds album, and then a round of Invention Corner. Then we play "Quote or Die" to guess celebrity briliance and close out with a Sports Short on Shohei Ohtani. 

Intro topic: Doing Everything With Two Hands. Then it's "Ryan's Incomplete Headlines," guess along with us as we try to figure out what went down in a Canadian backyard. In Nicky's Advice Corner - "Am I a Grasshole?" and a first ever What's the Deal Update on the Long Island Haunted Arcade. We close with a Sports Short on meddlesome owners. 

Link to the arcade featured in our What's the Deal original segment and this follow-up on the Liminal Spaces subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/LiminalSpace/comments/13gyz1q/photos_from_the_permanently_closed_play_amusements/

This episode's tracklist for your enjoyment: The Curious Case of Bejamin's Button. Get outta here old man! Listener mail. "Sad jackass." Nicky's Advice Corner: Is it wrong to give your mom the book Anna Karenina as an anniversary gift? Interlude: Disney Pin Trading and Emo Stitch. Ryan Vs. TheRichest.com: Is "The Little Mermaid" the worst cartoon for kids, or is it Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? A song about kegel muscles in the style of emo band Northstar. Sports Short: Benching your guys for better draft picks. Outro. 

In the intro portion, we try to make one of those "chaotic good / lawful evil / etc" alignment grids. It's confusing. Nick presents Urban Dictionary "Dirty or Wholesome?" slang term quiz.

We then take a deep dive into "Donkey Kong Country," the mostly-forgotten officially licensed bizzare CGI animated kids show based on the beloved game franchise. It's really bad, in ways that might surprise you. Finally, Brian takes a certain Lakers legend down a notch or two in the Sports Short. Thanks for listening! 

Topics include: Who Would You Slime? Obama playing basketball in Mom Jeans. Shlotzky's v. Quizno's Subs, and what is a Spongmonkey? Then, in Nicky's Advice Corner: She served as a clairvoyant to her grandmother for ten years, then ended up getting the entire inheritance. Is she in the wrong? Followed by a Still Accurate Sport's Short on NFL Coaching and we close it out with some Elden Ring discussion and plugs. 

No segments this time, so you know it's extra stupid. Topics of discussion include: Kanye West. New Year's Resolutions for eachother. Funny Wi-Fi network names in the year 2023. Who would you swap lives with? Ryan might have died at a sleepover. Put me in a bubble. Don't Wake Daddy an0d Gooey Looey. Milk Cleanse and Milk Maze. Jar Jar Binks Cereal. The rules of podcasting. Jon Lovitz to JFK. No Sports Short. Thank you for listening.  

Nicky shares some big ailment news. We take on an Advice Corner question on overstepping boundaries at the arcade dance machine. Sports short on running backs. 2 of the hosts drop off due to technical difficulties. Who will be left at the end? Tune in and find out. 

Ryan sick from boat. Nick has brain freeze. Prison strategies. The Palin and Romney Kids. Cool friends. Timey dead. Is Art of the Deal, What's the Deal... Bad? Ryan debates Wii, again for the first time. NFL Predictions (from last year). The Disney Vault. Rolling Pins. And More! 

Rytsas! We start with a behind the scenes discussion of how we script out each episode of the show. Then a truly epic Nicky's Advice Corner: is she in the wrong for not wanting attend her friend's wedding if it will be held in High Valyrian, the made up language from Game of Thrones? And then it truly goes off the rails when we try to ask Facebook's AI bot for the same advice. Finally, Brian closes us out with a Sports Short medly of takes that have all aged pretty well (LIV golf, Deshaun Watson.)
