    Live @ The Overlook: Cincinnati Traditions

    Text Us Here! A city’s personality shows up in its weirdest traditions and Cincinnati has plenty. We go live from Overlook Lodge with a bar full of listeners, a stack of merch to give away, and just enough chaos to turn the crowd into co-hosts. From the jump we’re talking Flying Pig Marathon energy, the kind of local pride you only understand after you’ve watched people dress as pigs at sunrise, and the small moments that make a live podcast feel like a real neighborhood hang. Then we dig into the stuff people argue about like it’s politics: Cincinnati food, goetta, Taste of Cincinnati, and the eternal Skyline Chili vs Gold Star showdown. We also get into why Reds Opening Day feels like an actual holiday here, what it’s like when downtown floods with people, and why some traditions like the WEBN fireworks are beloved until you remember the crowds and traffic. Along the way we veer into entertainment news with a Resident Evil teaser that promises more survival horror than action, plus a Reddit “birth plan” debate that turns into a real talk about boundaries and consent in someone else’s home. The second half is pure live-show fun: Cincinnati trivia rounds for shirts and stickers, “would you rather” questions that get oddly personal, and a quick brain-health detour on how board games can support cognition as we age. We close with a special guest, author Anthony Bolton, who joins us to talk about his murder mystery Cat’s Got Your Tongue, his writing process, and where to find the book on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.

    Fast Food Team Ups

    Text Us Here! A “spice level 2” sounded safe until it didn’t and that pretty much sets the tone for this one. We start with a quick pulse check and real talk about 10K training, sore legs, and why doing long runs after a brutal shift is a personal attack on your future self. Then we jump into a small win that turns into a big one: trying Indian food for the first time, breaking out of the fast food comfort zone, and realizing chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and samosas can be the reset button when nothing sounds good anymore. Next, we get into the Street Fighter movie trailer and why video game movie adaptations live or die by tone. We talk casting, nostalgia, sound design that feels pulled straight from the games, and the difference between changing the plot versus changing the characters. If you care about “game accurate” adaptations, we dig into what that should mean and why campy fun can be the most honest choice. We also hit a heavier moment with a Reddit story about a deaf stepdaughter being left out at family gatherings and the boundary her parents set: effort matters. We talk ASL basics, inclusion, and why “we don’t see each other enough” is a weak excuse when you’re claiming someone as family. After that, it’s back to chaos with fast food collaborations, limited time menus, collector hype, and a full debate on which brands actually try versus which ones just slap a label on a standard burger. Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who always orders the same thing, and leave us a review with your best fast food collab pick and your most overrated one.
