[Story Time Jingle] So back in the elusive year of 2004, when Kanye, Tyra Banks, and Joanne Kathleen Rowling were vying for position as voices of our generation, I exploited a loophole in my high school’s graduation requirements for personal lasting gain. They required every human child (and every non-human child pretending to be a human child, let’s be real, we’ve all seen Men In Black) to complete a required Speech class, in whic...

(To the tune of “Bad Boyfriend” by Garbage)
I've got a fever, come check it and see
My anger’s burning and rolling in me
We may not last but there’s no fun till it ends
C'mon, baby, you’re a bad president
I wanna hear you take all of the blame
I wanna see you burn up in flames
Send you to jail so I can cheer with my friends
C'mon, baby, you’re a bad president
So foul, shitty, you suck, can’t you see
But watch out Tool-belt, we...

The episode write up for “Part Twos” is always harder than Part One because there is a part of me that just wants to go “Hey, the one from before? It’s the wrap up of that one. Listen to it because who wants to leave a thing unfinished?” but that feels lazy and I never know how low-effort I can get with these before Adrian frowns at me and thinks, “I waited around for her to do this? Bruh, I could also have done this in ten minutes...

I’ve got Covid, so my brain is just one big foggy abyss that I’m trying to wrangle myself through. Because foggy abyss, I’ve mostly just had on things in the background that I’ve seen too many times–old cartoons like Spongebob. So I just finished watching the Pizza Delivery episode and I can’t help thinking about a Fast & Furious take on that. Brian has too many feelings and crashes the one vehicle they have. They’re forced to walk...

In the town where he was born
Lived a Salarian who sailed to space
And he told us of his life
In the land of spaceships
So he sailed up past the Sun
'Til we found …electricity?
And we crashed beneath the waves
In our Adjacent Galaxy
We all moved to an adjacent galaxy
Adjacent Galaxy, Adjacent Galaxy
We all moved to an adjacent galaxy
Adjacent Galaxy, Adjacent Galaxy
And our friends were all aboard
Many more of them lived next...

When I suggested to Adrian that we should once again turn our shared suffering into Capital-C Content and talk about Mass Effect: Andromeda, we had the normal boring calendar convos that come with any adult trying to interface with another adult in Late Stage Capitalism. We scheduled a record time like normal. Didn’t expect it to go for almost five hours. Boy, were our faces tired after we were done. (Get it? Like the meme?) This l...

Hi! Hello! So originally I was gonna write a version of the song from “We’re Back: A Dinosaur Story” but like…the vast majority of you don’t know that song or probably that movie. John Goodman sings. It’s a whole thing. But the kids today have their Dreamworks and their Disneys and before Dreamworks was riding high on money made from Shrek memes and people paying to not see that Will Smith fish face ever again, those animators work...

It’s End-Of-Year playlist tiiiiiiime! I almost just sent this, but I feel like Adrian might be mad. So. Let’s empty my brain,shall we? Right now it’s just Stardew Valley and “Yule Shoot Your Eye Out”, so…let’s do a Stardew 12 days of Christmas. I got this: For the Feast of the Winter Star, my true love sent to me / Twelve marriage candidates / Eleven potluck soup ingredients / Ten triple espressos consumed / Nine moonlight jellies ...

On this episode of Talking Like A Teen, we are literally rushing back into our past to check out an episode of Adrian Has Issues from 2018, a year before this podcast would debut, to hear its proto beginnings. The kernel of this show is present here: snotty music chatter, crabbing about how the NHL is terrible and yet we love it, shit talking and general…us…ness. It’s a fun look back. But as this episode is being released around Th...

On this special episode of Conversing with an Adult, Ashley and Adrian come together to celebrate the most holy of TLAT holidays: N7 Day!

Jennifer Hale talks about recording her first audiobook, making music, and the importance of voting in our curre...

I had like three really grandiose plans for this write up that I banged my head against for awhile before giving up and well…here we are, another one of these stream of consciousness write ups again because none of those really panned out. So, essentially, on this episode of Talking Like A Teen, we tasked ourselves with building Halloween inspired playlists that we exchanged. We analyzed them, we had some laughs, made some referenc...

[To the tune of “Belle” from Disney’s Beauty And The Beast]
Little town, a spooky French village
Every day like the one before
Little town, full of little monsters
Waking up to say
Boo-jour! Boo-jour!
Boo-jour! Boo-jour! Boo-jour!
There goes the vampire with his tray like always
The same old bloody treats to sell
Every morning just the same
Since the morning that we came
To this grim, spine-chilling town
Grim Mourning, Ban-shee!

(ALERT: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE MASS EFFECT FRANCHISE.) I spent the afternoon at my friends’ kid’s birthday party and spent most of my time trying to think of what to do for this write up while no one talked to me (probably because I was staring off into space thinking about this write up. I’m sure that’s not welcoming.) The obvious “rewrite ‘Midnight Train to Georgia’ about Mass Effect” was right there, but I’ve bee...

(DISCLAIMER: This is not an endorsement of an actual currency, crypto or otherwise. In fact, quite the opposite, as money is stupid and only real because we as a society pretend it has value. The following, at its core, is me taking a joke made on this episode too far, as per usual. This is the second half of the Minivan Rock episode. Link to the list is below. Enjoy the madness.)

On this episode of Talking Like A Teen, unlike previous ones, this one is about…nothing. Like a Seinfield episode, I guess? Only with less New York references. If you ever wondered what a casual non-podcast conversation between the two of us sounds like, here it is, in its mildly edited glory. It’s two elder millennials having a couple of adult beverages, decompressing from the bowels of living in this late-stage capitalist hellsca...

Network Executive: “We at the network want a Power Rangers movie with attitude. It’s edgy. It’s in your face. You've heard the expression "Shift Into Turbo." Well, this is a movie that gets "Tur-Booo." Consistently and thoroughly. Oh, God, yes. We're talking about a totally outrageously creepy puppet. We’re talking about vehicles with the power and velocity of turbo technology.”

Sometimes podcasting is recording something two years ago, technology ruining it, and then you forget to re-record it until you schedule a time to record with your podcast partner two years later, and neither of you really prepped to talk about your original topic, so you flail around until one of you stumbles upon a google document from the past. So the timeline makes about as much sense as the Fast and Furious timeline. (wink) So...
