Field Notes
Cheesy talks to us about his potential magnum opus, McPagliacci: A parody comic based on the 1892 opera Pagliacci, starring the McDonald Land characters.
We talk clown lore, clownsonas, clown eggs, and more.
Apparently it's a red flag to have a podcast these days? When did that happen? We also talk about one of the biggest Elon Musk owns in history. A common W of course.

We read a lot of "weird comments" on this episode, or in this case, extremely mean comments. Hey, engagement's engagement baby. We talk about the tiktokification of streaming services and media in general, a cringey song and dance routine at an awards ceremony, and the next billion dollar social media idea: funny faces!

Who let the dogs out? I bet he's sick of hearing that one, Frank Hawley of Big Dogs Gaming, Mega64, and No Clip Video is on the show this week.
Field Notes
This week we get Saul Goodman'd, talk about video games, investigate what the folks are calling "Elongate," and introduce some fun new segments into the show. You'll have to see it (or, hear it) to believe it!

Did you see what they announced during the Thought Cops Direct?! A total bombshell: Zion from Nintendo Life is a guest on the episode!
Field Notes
Luckily a Nintendo Direct happened the week of recording, so we had a lot to talk about. Well, lucky for some of us at least. New Zelda, new Pikmin, new Metroid, oh my! Do people still make this kind of joke anymore?
We also talk to Zion about his documentary "The Mother We Share - Our EarthBound Story" which is featured on his channel over at Nintendo Life. It's a great watch for fans of the series, or even for those who aren't totally familiar with it but want to know what all the hype is about. Toby Fox, the creator of Undertale, is featured, as well as Scott the Woz and many more! Check it out.
Zion also tells us when Mother 3 is coming out. But you gotta listen to the episode to find out!

When you walk away, you don't hear me say, that Martin Felshman of Podzooky is back on the show with an AMAZING surprise. Watch this one with someone you love if you can.
Field Notes
Straight from the world of Kingdom Hearts, we have our very own Neo-Chicago themed Keyblade! That's right, once Thought Cops inevitably becomes a Disney, property you can visit the wonderful, neon-clad world of Neo-Chicago with Sora and his friends.
Probably.
Thanks again Martin! This is too cool.
We talk about Mr. Beast: the new Christ and future president of the United States. AI is a bit of a mixed bag this week. On one hand, people are getting caught watching deepfake pr0n of their friends. On the other, someone made Seinfeld into a PS1-looking, never-ending streaming prompt.
Maybe it's all bad? Probably.

What's up all you cool cats out there-- Jack Ryan joins us in studio for a wonderful winter day of podcasting.
Field Notes
Snow has fallen on the neon cityscape of Neo-Chicago, but we are safe inside from the elements and talking about trains, toys, and tiktok into our microphones.
M&Ms are back in the news. Because they always fucking are. People are freaking out because Pink Floyd has gone "woke". Lol, you won't believe this one. Jay Leno is also becoming the 6 million dollar man.

We "shift" ourselves to 1984 and back this week as Ben Flores and Sarah Black return to the show to talk about their latest new podcast CrimeWatchers!
Field Notes
'Rewatch podcasts' are all the rage right now. CrimeWatchers is the latest hit podcast of that phenomenon, as two of the stars of Crimestoppers: Miami (the show each and every one of us watched in the 2000's) Kent and Piper talk us through what it was like to be on set, or in some cases even LIVE on set!
Ben and Sarah bring to life the wonderful world of Crime, and talk us through the process. We talk about the latest phenomenon currently hitting TikTok, "shifting", and were marks and angles a math thing? You tell us.

Woke M&M's are back, but good news, so is Aaron Klopfer!
Field Notes
That's right: woke M&M's are back, gas stove discourse is lighting up the internet, and Hobo Johnson exists. Talk about a hell world!
We also talk about turning 30, working and not working, depression, dating, and whatever the fuck else millennials these days talk about.

For our first episode of 2023, Alex Ptak returns as we discuss Quorators, content creation, and lots more.
Field Notes
We share our new years resolutions on this episode, and talk about Quora, the newest garbage bin of the internet, when you need a question answered and want the longest and preferably most insane answer possible.
Andrew Tate and Andrew WK are the yin and yang of partying, Jeremy Renner gets run over by a reindeer (snow plow), and people can't stop making lists!
