What is the magic to winning the 2024 MO Senate race?

NERD ALERT: Kristina (ASL Interpreter) & Nicholas (Ed. PD Coordinator & MTG Cheerleader) discuss the recent post by MO GOP calling Lucas Kunce a: "nerd" on Twitter because he plays Magic: the Gathering. From breaking up fights between their own kids over Magic decks to cussing like a pirate in Mario Kart. Nicholas and Kristina reference gamification frameworks including Octalysis while  discussing the motivations of politicians.

DT!HQ takes a firm stance against gatekeeping. Whether your favorite games are on a console, a PC, or a mobile device, we consider you a gamer and you are valid. Unless, of course, you're one of the perverts still playing Facebook games in 2023. If you aren't keeping up with the news out of the Meta-camp, the Metaverse isn't exactly headed to the moon. Well luckily for old Zucks, the execs called us in to help revitalize that smooth VR hellscape. Today, we're gathered around the proverbial Round Table to decide which Facebook game would be the best to integrate into the Metaverse.

You're going to hear about a lot of games today, most of them you'll at least remember hearing about. Matt's answer is not one of those games. Todd and Kyle, on the other hand, went with games that you'll be much more familiar with. Or you will be, if you're into match three and idle games.

In which I interview Robert Russa Moton Museum Education Director Cainan Townsend for American Evolution: Virginia to America 1619-2019. Cainan discusses how a group of African-American high school students led a 1951 protest which had a major influence on Brown vs. Board of Education and the Civil Rights movement that soon followed.

Warning: Explicit language

In Episode 24 of Capitol Fight Club, John Gray, Brian Darling, Sam Sacks and Sam Knight battled over who won Tuesday night's vice presidential debate and what recent revelations about Donald Trump’s taxes tell potential voters about his candidacy, if anything.

Round 1 centered around whether Senator Tim Kaine or Governor Mike Pence won Tuesday night’s VP presidential debate, with a surprising 3-1 vote split on the winner, and what Kaine and Pence’s stances on foreign policy and abortion could mean for their respective running mates in November.

Round 2 centered around the recent New York Times story about Donald Trump’s 1995 tax returns and what that means for Trump’s business narrative, as well as a similar-yet-underreported story about Hillary Clinton from two years ago.

Capitol Fight Club is a weekly face-off between two political insiders on the Right versus two on the Left.  Darling and Gray (editor of The Ideas Factory) worked for Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and both write for Conservative Review. Our progressive friends, “The Sams,”  Sam Sacks and Sam Knight, are the co-founders of the progressive blog The District Sentinel. Nate Madden of CR is the producer and the moderator of the podcast.

Greece's parliament passes an austerity plan.  Bank of America makes a deal with mortgage bond investors.  Berkshire Hathaway hits a small bump in the road.  And FarmVille creator Zynga gets ready for a big IPO.

The show got started with a bang when Chris was visited by Danny Lobell in the studio. They discussed their recent road gig to New Jersey. As always Warren Holstien had plenty of commentary to add to the news. During Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll The crew discussed, Farmville for gay people, the exorcist convention, and Four Loko; the delicious Energy/Alcoholic beverage responsible for some of the most focused and energetic campus date rapes imagineable. After Danny Left, Chris and Warren chatted about what the Iacono Thanksgiving would be like.
