Banter Banter

Banter Banter - Ep163 - Western WaresAfter sailing the high seas, Manny and Mike find themselves looking at artwork and different views on it. There is a misunderstanding from the western, or more specifically American, viewpoint regarding drawn stories. Anime is not the same as cartoons and we need to accept the responsibility of checking the content before giving it to kids. The Banter Boys get on a soapbox about violence vs. nudity as a double standard for what is ok for kids to consume via media, and ask for a little self reflection on who makes the money off content sales to our children. So put on a pirate hat and jump on the next boat ride to the corner of Nostalgia and Reality with Banter Banter.Intro/Outro:Kong Flix by Voicedbymic on instawebsite: https://blackboxentertainment.ca/Cover art:Pepper's Socials: https://linktr.ee/peppertroopaBanter on X: https://twitter.com/Banter_CastMike's Socials: https://linktr.ee/meanblazin Manny's Socials: https://linktr.ee/brogarAaron's Socials: VIIIBitWizard on XEmail: banterbantercast@gmail.com

It turns out the free ports are now becoming more tempting as we all run out of ways to keep out locally purchased pieces of media. Mike & Manny look into creating a perspective from a couple of old boomers who still use plastic discs to listen to stuff and watch or play things.

Guess its time to make those backups.Intro/Outro:Kong Flix by Voicedbymic on instawebsite: https://blackboxentertainment.ca/Cover art:Pepper's Socials: https://linktr.ee/peppertroopaBanter on X: https://twitter.com/Banter_CastMike's Socials: https://linktr.ee/meanblazin Manny's Socials: https://linktr.ee/brogarEmail: banterbantercast@gmail.com

In this no fangled country, we have gotten to look at various iterations of ol' pop on the television.

Tribalism, what is it good for? Initially for keeping us silly humans alive another day. Mike and Manny lightly seek the answer if tribalism is still good for humans.

The US Government collected data, and without knowing it they answered a generational argument! No Generation is (on average) more or less productive than any other generation.

Manny & Mike can't seem to get enough gambling in their lives; but rather than throwing their money away at the casino, they opt to gamble by getting extended warranties and insurance.

While trying to quench their thirst, Manny and Mike step away from the corner of Nostalgia & Reality to visit The Trailer Park. After deciding how Expend4ble they are as hosts, Mike turns his eyes to some fun activities that would give him excuses to use many different forms of transportation during this month. From hitting up Oktoberfest to the Manamara Festival, the Banter Banter hosts emotionally traverse the globe and take a misguided tour of other cultures around this world. Mike drags us down by bringing up an article teasing out dystopian stories that come off initially as 'heartwarming' and ' empowering actions from the poor'. Like an old hat, Manny and Mike get back to some late stage capitalism comments before remembering ways to take care of their fellow humans. Pull up your bootstraps and your chair for the latest conversation with the hosts of Banter Banter at the corner of Nostalgia and Reality.

Manny and Mike look into the high point of no return for the tress, learning to identify that and help influence what drives us. Sometimes its something from a young age, other times it is a contest of peers, evolved into a more insidious insecurity. All in all, its important to identify it instead of continuously coping.

Manny and Mike check out the concept of time off. Time off from school or from office life. How did childhood vacations get decided versus how vacation plans from office work come to fruition.

Mike & Manny look into one of the larger aspects of self care, that being, the internet and social media. While it serves as a source of torment for many, it also works to bring many people closer together. One of the biggest hurdles is avoiding a doom spiral, or feeding into the negativity, when knowing about every bad thing that happens in real time, is a possible daily occurrence. How do we work on better online self-care?

Aaron confirms there are no cops at the corner of Nostalgia and Reality before throwing a turd into the conversation this week. Mike quickly ruins Aaron's favorite candy bar with one short phrase before breaking a king sized topic: 'recapturing the hearts and minds of the population'. Mike throws a roadster into space while Manny reminds us that launching things out of earth's atmosphere is not a business. The increase of Union creation puts a smile on Manny's face for the positive impacts for the li ttle man in the long run. The Banter Boys sprinkle some Cocaine Bear on the script and end up on a few even more strange topics.
