The pivot to food content has finally arrived! I'm joined by returning guest Patty (@mylittlevictory) and first time guests: my lovely wife Susan, and my friends Hank, Murph, Scott and  Edwardio.  We're talking about how corona and current events have changed our habits in shopping for and preparing food, and the issues that go a long with it.  NB: had more people, most especially @livelyvivian  scheduled for this session, but it landed on an already long day for me, and 90 minutes or so is a good length for this kind of content in my opinion.  Look for future episodes with more guests!  If you have a pitch or want to join a panel, please drop a reply.Guests:SusanPattyScottMurphEdwardioOpening music: milkmandarin/I.S.U.T.H.

Bon vivant and Buck Henry impersonator Tom Breen is back, and we're joined this week by new guest Gabe Rosenberg, who works in communications at the Office of the Secretary of the State here in Connectcitut. As we have in the past, we dip into state level political drama, but as always I'm wary of wading too deep into that kind of over political content so I beg your indulgence.

A friend from twitter approached me several months ago with this painful personal story about a close, lifelong friend whose life takes a very dark and destructive turn after becoming redpilled in 2017.CONTENT WARNING:This episode recounts trauma and traumatic events -- including death by suicide -- and is not presented for prurient interest.  What I hope you can take away from this is two people working through to a slightly better understanding of what certain types of conflict and trauma have in common and how we deal with it.  Finally: this story involves QAnon, but what you will quickly learn is that my take here is that Q/MAGA/whatever is incidental to what ultimately happens in this particular instance.   There are much more qualified and experienced people covering this beat and I reference them often.  Listeners curious about these tops should reference the QAA podcast, researchers like Mike Rothschild, Mark Andre Argentino,  and journalists and researchers like Will Sommer and Jared Holt.Support the show (HTTPS://www.Patreon.com/Nicepilled )

Twitter friend and media guy @tjbreen joins me again to chop it up for an hour and 15.  We check in our CT GOP faves, talk Omicron, QAnon and staring down the barrel of this particular national moment, all while trying to keep our heads on straight. Support the show (HTTPS://www.Patreon.com/Nicepilled )

Twitter friend Tom Breen joins me to dish on  a host of topics: the regional media landscape, the peculiar corners of our home state, both IRL and on on Twitter, and a dive on how national politics -- in the particular with an increasingly radicalized GOP -- is filtering down to state level races, municipal elections and town governance.  I also reveal that I was the guy behind @fakejeffbutler. Tom runs media for UCONN at Storrs, but of course appears here in his own capacity.  You can find him on twitter at @TJBreen Tom's published work as an author:Ghost Stories from the End of World Hymns of AbominationI have launched a Patreon account for the podcast, which can be found here:patreon.com/nicepilledThere are 3 tiers of available: $3 for general support, $5 or early access, and $7 for bonus content.  I'm grateful for your support.  You can find me on twitter:@edwardodellShow Twitter Page@nicepilled_podMusic: @OrbGazerSupport the show

Set aside a supplemental dose of insulin to prepare yourself for the irresistible sweetness that is Our Pal: Jake Rockatansky.  Not merely one of the three primary hosts of the immensely popular, listener-supported QAnon critical podcast, but further and perhaps most importantly, a man who will be forever immortalized by the gentle and alluring display of bare feet in Cullen Hoback's Q: Into the Storm documentary, currently airing on HBO.  Jake also wrote and self-produced a five song music EP dedicated — mostly — to his adorable papilion Teddy.Jake assented to talking with me for reasons I am yet to fully comprehend, and was characteristically generous with his time and attention. The result is more than two hours of deeply engaging conversation; we talk about the inspiration and production of the Teddy EP, get a bit under the hood with the QAA podcast and marvel over its incredible, vibrant fan community.  Jake is forthcoming about the difficulty in covering conspiracist movements and communities, the challenges and rewards of creative work and most especially the  dissociative nature of watching one's fringe area of interest suddenly and terribly manifest into worldwide iconography.Jake on Twitter: @realrockatanskyThe Teddy EPApple Music | Spotify | BandcampTwitter handles for the hosts: Travis View, Annie Kelley, Liv Agar,  and Julian Feeld.The podcast also has a website, with links to merchandise, their Pateron page and very active Discord community.  They have an archive of over 300 episodes and currently also host a Twitch Stream on alternate Tuesdays and Thursdays.  You can find the podcast Twitch stream here, along with individual streams for Jake and Julian.Support the show (HTTPS://www.Patreon.com/Nicepilled )

We're exiting the hellscape to  indulge ourselves in  90s nostalgia after re-screening Michael Rappaport's 2012 documentary “Beats, Rhymes and Life: the Travels of A Tribe Called Quest” taking a turn to talk about one of the greatest foundational groups in Rap.   OG Nicepiller Bill makes his podcast debut, and Twitter friend lontar rounds out the panel.
