    224. That Dopamine

    Although I was curious at first, I really have tried to take an anti-A.I. stance. As a creator, the idea that you can plug a prompt into a chat and get almost anything you desire is nuts (and a lot of it is stolen). Not to mention the water use just to run all of these bots. But what if I told you that I stepped a little too far into the world of A.I. and while I haven't succumbed, I haven't exactly stopped either... After that confession, why do fanbases get so enraged when a show or movie doesn't go the way they hoped it would go? I examine this and talk about Stranger Things 5 (spoilers).

    223. The 10th Anniversary Spectacular

    Costarring Errick Greenlee, Michael Lamerique & Marcus Robinson On January 8, 2016, I released the first episode of Hyphen Nation. Recorded from the parking lot of a local Morgantown Kroger with a laptop and a headset mic, never did I dream that my little podcast would be at 200+ episodes and still active 10 years later but here we are! To celebrate, I recruited the Brain Trust aka the Diamond Dogs Handsome Bane, Lam, and Marc Rob to celebrate with me. In the first half, we talk about Will Smith's career taking it's downturn, how no one has replaced Twitter despite multiple efforts, relive some 2016 things, and many more alleys and detours. In the back half, Handsome Bane carved out some time so he could still contribute more than just a visit, and we talk about the death of Hulk Hogan, where he's finding joy in professional wrestling these days, and God. Here's to another 10 years? Maybe? Who knows. Thanks y'all. IMPORTANT LISTENING INFO: I apologize for the quality of my microphone in the second half. I hooked my condenser mic up to Zoom and even after all these years, they don't like each other.

    222. Locked In

    In this episode of THE BARACK OBAMA APPROVED WORLD'S GREATEST PODCAST, I go back to the movies. I was unfortunately unable to make the most recent episode of We Should Do This Again Sometime but I give you my draft picks anyway (but seriously, go listen to that episode first)! (7:39) I talk about the latest season of King Of The Hill (39:31), which then leads to some recommendations before I end with my rant about the cost of streaming and WWE trying to push me out of the product (49:04). It might be back to the pirate life for me. Only time will tell.

    221. You Already Know What This Is

    On today's pod, I talk about how nice my social media break was, Wiz Khalifa and Kush + Orange Juice 2, give WrestleMania XLI predictions, and talk about the comfort that Guy's Grocery Games brings me. When it's good, I'mma tell you. This one's good.

    220. The Five Goldberg Problem

    (Costarring Michael Lamerique, Marcus Robinson & Errick Greenlee) Man, sometimes you need to hop on the phone and talk to the homies. So, for the last time on Skype (probably), I'm joined by Lam, Marc Rob, and Handsome Bane to simply cut up. Yeah, we talk about the Whitman Storm's basketball season. Yeah, apparently some of us don't like Superman. And yeah, Bret Hart stops by with jokes. But sometimes you just need to hop on the phone and talk to the homies.

    219. A Reflection on HYPHEN

    It's almost been 8 years but the results remain the same: When Thee Marc Rob and I get together in a room magic happens. I was going to do a solo episode breaking down my journey through creating my second album HYPHEN. But if you listened to 217., Marc Rob said pump your breaks homeboy! What follows is a delightful look at myself, told through the lens of one of my best friends. Thank you all for your support and as always, more to come.

    217. Numbers On The Board '24

    Costarring George "The Howitzer" Gerbo & Marcus "ShowinmadLov" Robinson! Special guest appearance by Handsome Bane! This was long overdue. I call in George and Marc Rob to recap some things from 2024. Social media talk jumps into the election. We were in the trenches... Until Handsome Bane stopped by and broke up the sadness. The rest of this episode is a great conversation amongst friends catching up. Happy New Year!
