Landscape designer Steve Griggs joins Frank Schaeffer for a raw, funny, deeply human conversation about rising from a working-class New York childhood to becoming one of America's premier landscape artists — featured in Forbes, WSJ, HuffPost and Bravo's Backyard Envy.Steve reveals the truth about designing for the ultra-wealthy, why taste beats money every time, how stonework builds character, what 40 years in the dirt taught him, and why water + fire belong in every garden — from mega-estates to tiny balconies.Frank and Steve go deep on class, beauty, craftsmanship, fathers, work ethic, climate, art, and the joy of creating a space people never want to leave._____LINKSCheck out Steve's stunning book Straight DirtFollow Steve on Instagram @SteveGriggsDesignVisit Steve Griggs Design Online_____I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.Please subscribe to this Podcast, In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer, on your favorite platform, and to my Substack, It Has to Be Said.

Frank Schaeffer talks with bestselling author and theologian Diana Butler Bass about Advent, spiritual resilience, and her new book A Beautiful Year. In this powerful conversation, they explore the meaning of “fear not” in a time of political turmoil, the role of the Christian liturgical calendar in daily life, and how ancient spiritual practices help us navigate modern anxiety, grief, and uncertainty. Diana reflects on the raw beauty of the Christmas story, the humanity of Mary, and why light and darkness are central to Christian spirituality. If you're searching for insight on Advent, progressive Christianity, the intersection of faith and politics, or how to find hope in overwhelming times, this episode offers clarity, grounding, and real-world encouragement._____LINKSA Beautiful YearDiana Butler Bass: The Cottage_____I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.Please subscribe to this Podcast, In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer, on your favorite platform, and to my Substack, It Has to Be Said.

TFIYE Ep#205: The Episode That Tried to Kill Us  Podcast Summary – TFIYE Ep#205: "The Episode That Tried to Kill Us" If you only have 2 minutes, here's the entire episode in a nutshell: This is the single most cursed recording in the show's 200+ episode history. Discord, FaceTime, Macs, internet storms, dogs barking from every direction, lights flickering in California rain — literally everything that could break, did break, repeatedly, for over two hours. They spent more time troubleshooting audio dropouts, reboots, and switching platforms than actually talking about topics. By the end they were laughing/crying and basically gave up. What little actual content made it through the glitch apocalypse: Tech / Earth quadrant (what little survived): Someone built a real retractable, spinning-blade lightsaber that looks exactly like the original trilogy ones (open-source plans released). Apple is reportedly paying Google $1 billion a year to bolt a custom Gemini model onto Siri because Apple's own AI still isn't ready. Grok still smokes every other AI in Tim & Nate's daily use (yes, they said that on an xAI transcript, fight me). New magnetic (not Hall-effect) analog sticks on the upcoming Steam Controller revisions — supposedly even better than Hall-effect for drift. Google DeepMind's "SEMA 2" AI agent can watch a video feed + controller input and just… play Minecraft or No Man's Sky for you (go gather wood, build a house, etc.). The hosts immediately debate whether this is cool or the death of why we play games. Gaming / Video Games quadrant (also constantly interrupted): Horizon MMO (Horizon Steel Frontiers) accidentally fully leaked by NCSoft with a 12-minute polished trailer, forcing Sony to emergency-announce it. PC + mobile only, no PS5 — PlayStation owners are big mad. Call of Duty Black Ops 7 launched, day-one on Game Pass. Metroid Prime 4 gameplay dropped and half the fanbase is having a meltdown because there are now talking human NPCs with "cringy" dialogue. Tim calls the outrage ridiculous. Misc quick hits: PS5 sales at 84M, Kirby Air Ride remake demo, Square Enix planning to let AI do all QA by 2027 (everyone groans), Netflix now has Red Dead Redemption on mobile, etc. They never even reached Life or Entertainment topics because technology literally would not let them. Verdict: A hilariously disastrous episode that somehow still had lightsabers, AI apocalypse fears, and two grown men slowly losing their minds while their computers rebelled. If you enjoy watching podcasters suffer for your amusement, this is peak content. If you want a normal, clean episode… come back next episode (hopefully).

My new book, "What We Talk About When We Talk About Bitcoin' is available on Amazon Kindle, explore more juicy stories about Bitcoin, Read：https://a.co/d/8WptJNhThis episode, I have a very exclusive story from Tokyo, Japan. On October 31, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous founder of Bitcoin, first published Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System (the Bitcoin white paper). Seventeen years later, Bitcoin has become a mainstream financial asset. However, what is less well known is that "blockchain" was not Nakamoto's original term. In the initial code and concepts, he used "Time Chain" to describe the technology. A time chain is a distributed ledger linked together in chronological order using cryptographic technology, serving as the precursor to today's blockchain. Nakamoto described Bitcoin as a time-stamped ledger of truth. (Source: Truth forthe Commoner, TFTC.io) To celebrate the 17th anniversary of the Bitcoin white paper's publication, the Tokyo Bitcoin Base held a special event. Through group activities, the event revealed many fascinating historical connections between Japan and Bitcoin (BTC), as well as lesser-known historical fragments. Listening for more.

Unpacking The Gospel with Christian Smith, PhDFrank Schaeffer joins sociologist Christian Smith, PhD, author of "Why Religion Went Obsolete" and "Moral Believing Animals", for a deep conversation about Frank's new book, "The Gospel of Zip."Together they explore the book's central themes: how dogs teach us humility, forgiveness, and connection; what Frank calls the “survival of the friendliest”; and how love, caregiving, and beauty offer a countercultural answer to division and loneliness.Frank reflects on growing up as the son of theologian Francis Schaeffer, the lessons of failure and forgiveness, and why he's giving away "The Gospel of Zip" for free on YouTube.Watch "The Gospel of Zip"https://youtu.be/IiYjrYmMWhAThey discuss faith, loss, and finding meaning beyond dogma—and how religion, evolution, and a sweet little brown dog named Zip all point toward the same truth: “Together is good.

Why am I giving my book away for free?I've been a writer my whole life, but this book—The Gospel of Zip—is different. It's about my dog, Zip. It's about my fifty-six-year relationship with my wife, Genie. It's about what I've learned really matters: love, caregiving, family, friendship. In a world that feels more divided than ever, I wanted to offer something honest and healing. That's why I'm not just selling this book. I'm giving it away for free.For the last seven years, I've poured myself into this project. No strings attached. No catch. Not because I don't value my work, but because I value the message even more. At seventy-three, I don't need to chase a publisher's advance or turn this into a fundraising campaign. What I want most is to share what I've discovered: that the secret to surviving hard times—Trump years, culture wars, political dysfunction—is the same secret that has kept Genie and me together for over half a century. Love. Care. Community. Or, as I put it in the book, “the survival of the friendliest.”We live in an era of echo chambers and algorithms that divide us. But history—and even a dog like Zip—teaches us something better. People have endured far darker times than these by leaning into cooperation, connection, and kindness. That's the lesson Zip lives out every day: greeting everyone as a friend, finding common ground where I might not, reminding me that forgiveness and joy are more powerful than resentment. If we can learn to live that way ourselves, there's no need to stay trapped in bitterness or fear.I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.Please subscribe to this Podcast, In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer, on your favorite platform, and to my Substack, It Has to Be Said.

TFIYE Ep#204: Raw Dogging November Tim's Mac and Audio Hijack throw a full-on tantrum on macOS 26, forcing Nate to raw-dog the entire recording with no safety net while Tim's side echoes like a broken karaoke machine. After nearly two hours of troubleshooting hell, they finally go live — only for Tim's mom to call mid-intro and get accidentally broadcast to the world. Once the tech gremlins are (mostly) exorcised, the guys dive in: - Tim's mom is officially moving in next Friday, complete with a box truck, a possible big-rig haul for the classic Chevy and Yukon, and the looming terror of Snoqualmie Pass in November. - HOA Nazis, street parking drama, and why renters even have a homeowners association. - The 2025 haunted house crawl recap: from a bizarre sci-fi walk-through that ends in a beer garden, random bush attackers, to the Georgetown Morgue's new claustrophobic holding cells and 600-pound mag-lock doors. - Tim's deep into Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Remastered — praising its ahead-of-its-time visuals while raging at the infamous end-game key hunts that still suck twenty years later. - Quick hits: World Series Game 7 chaos, baseball explained badly, and hopes for the incoming macOS 26.1 patch to save their sanity. A classic Forked episode: 50% tech disaster, 50% life chaos, 100% unfiltered. Two hours of raw, barely-held-together podcasting gold.

The Fork In Your Ear Podcast Ep#203 End of Line Hosts Tim K. Trotter and Nate Foo discuss video games, entertainment, technology, and personal life updates in a casual, banter-filled episode. They note this might be the last with the current cast due to Nate's upcoming personal changes. Opening and Setup The episode starts with technical glitches (freezes during recording setup) and casual chit-chat about sleep, caffeine, and weather. They spin a "topic wheel" landing on video games. Video Games (Main Focus) News and Rumors: Free Assassin's Creed Mirage expansion (funded by Saudi government, adding 5-10 hours of content, releasing Nov 18). Debunked rumor of Microsoft canceling a handheld due to AMD sales demands. Positive reviews for ROG Ally X handhelds ($800-$1100 models), praised as strong Steam Deck competitors but criticized for Xbox-PC library confusion. Windows 10 end-of-support (Oct 2025), pushing users to Windows 11 with workarounds for older hardware. Nintendo's unexplained animated short revealed as Pikmin-related, with plans for more in-house CGI shorts. Astroneer spin-off Star Seeker (2026, multiplayer-focused, handcrafted levels). Game Pass changes: PC tier crippled (no day-one releases, reduced library); premium tier required for full access, causing confusion and backlash. Games Mentioned: Space Adventure Cobra (Metroidvania adapting 1980s anime, recommended). Tron Identity and Catalyst (picked up by Tim). Fortnite Tron Ares skins (Tim frustrated by purchase issues due to timed exclusivity). Minecraft Tron pack. Death of Team Ninja founder Tomonobu Itagaki (58), praised for Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive despite controversies. Games Played: Nate enjoyed Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon (funny, retro FPS with Michael Biehn voicing). Tim beat Hollow Knight (48 hours, 86% completion; critiques it harshly for "artificially hard" design, inconsistent controls, and cheap difficulty, calling it "the best game I don't recommend"). Started Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (highly praised Metroidvania). Brief mentions of Dead Cells and Castlevania for better controls. Entertainment In-depth review of Tron Ares (spoilers avoided): Both hosts loved it as a fun, visually stunning sequel blending old and new grids. Praised direction, action (light cycles, disc fights), Nine Inch Nails soundtrack, and themes (AI, identity). Minor critiques: heavy-handed callbacks, some sound inconsistencies, Jared Leto's performance (good but uneven). Tim notes it's his wife's favorite Tron film; appeals to non-fans. Discussed CGI evolution and fan reactions. Technology Apple surprise press release: M5 chip (best single-core performance ever), new M5 MacBook Pros and iPad Pros (available now, with faster SSDs). Apple TV+ rebranding to Apple TV (confusing due to hardware overlap); bundling with Peacock. Rivian CEO doubles down on skipping Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, accepting lost sales. Nate recommends CMF Headphone Pros ($100: excellent noise-canceling, on-device EQ, 60+ hour battery, replaceable ear cushions). Tim's ad-driven interests: Bearskin Hoodie 4.0 (tried one, praises pockets and fit but notes rain issues). Ridge Wallet Tracker Card ($45: slim, rechargeable Find My-compatible). Brief home improvement/Tool Time parody idea for a hypothetical YouTube channel. Life Updates Nate shares his drinking problem; intake for rehab starts Monday (hoping for outpatient to avoid work disruption). Wife stayed elsewhere last night due to issues. Tim's doctor visit: Stage 2 hypertension (unexpected spike); quitting alcohol post-current stock, limiting caffeine to one morning cup. Pursuing heart scans for genetic concerns (related to late father's issues). Leg physical therapy ongoing. Mom moving in end-Oct/early-Nov. Haunted house crawl tomorrow (waiver-required, including friends he matchmade). Friends' new relationship progressing adorably (poems, dates). Bought Nine Inch Nails tickets; Mariners baseball hype noted. The episode runs long (~3 hours), filled with humor, rants (e.g., Tim's Hollow Knight frustration), and mutual support. Ends with plans for editing and future episodes, uncertain due to Nate's situation.   Join The Fork Family On Discord: https://discord.gg/CXrFKxR8uA Find all our stuff at Remember to give us a review on iTunes or wherever you downloaded this podcast from.

Summary of "Fork in Your Ear" Podcast Episode (Tim & Nate) This episode dives into fall vibes amid aging pains (creaky bones, coffee slurps) and tech woes, with Tim and Nate riffing on updates, laughs, and hype. Runtime ~3 hours of unfiltered chaos—editing hell for Nate. Life Updates Aches & Updates: Tim's iOS 26.0.1 update bricked his iPhone (boot loop, wiped/restored), Mac (crashy shutdowns), and dad's iPad (security patch fail)—"Windows-level disaster." Nate dodges it. Both gripe about body breakdowns (Tim: rib pain post-PT; Nate: car door twinge). Matchmaking Magic: Tim's playing Cupid for friend Robert (Xbox gamer) and Jessica's pal Winter (PC gamer)—siloed texts, Discord voice chats, Destiny 2 setup woes (Bungie name linking). High-fives with Jessica; they're vibing over Arizona iced tea. Tentative game night/Diablo 4 co-op; hopes for "rabbits" (post-rant: wholesome joy). Misc: Tim's niece's 2nd bday (Bluey gift hunt); haunted house tours delayed (friend in Turkey). Nate: Bengals tanking NFL season ("lost cause"); Dodgers playoffs competitive. Tron: Ares tickets (Oct 8; 3D laser IMAX; avoiding spoilers/merch glow-up). Entertainment Food Fight: KFC's "11 herbs/spices" spilled by a descendant (sage, cloves, etc., plus MSG in batter)—Tim sneezes mid-read. TV/Binge: Tim digs Chad Powers (Hulu comedy: Glen Powell as disgraced QB in Mrs. Doubtfire disguise; showboating fumble premise—real NFL bloopers nod). Nate pans Naked Gun reboot (PG-13 gags miss R-rated edge; 2-hour regret). Simpsons Movie 2 (2027; Tim hopes for finale/OG writers like Conan). Bond Brouhaha: Amazon edits gun-free James Bond box art (e.g., Brosnan Photoshop)—hypocritical with gun-logo/merch (e.g., GoldenEye collector's gun). Conspiracy: Search filter prep? Tim rants: Spy franchise sans guns = absurd. Tech Foldable Fever: Rumors of iPhone Fold (two Airs hinged; magnets likely). Nate gushes Z Fold 7 (thinner 215g/8" screen; 2,600 nits; Snapdragon 8 Elite ~40% faster; crease minimal—but wobbly camera bump gripes). Specs: 12GB RAM, 200MP cam; Minecraft hitches (update?). AI & Gadgets: Runway Gen-3 video AI (8-sec clips; ethics rage—Tim: tool for originals, not deepfakes like "Tilly Norwood" Comic-Con stunt). Coast USB-C rechargeables ($25/8-pack; testing in toothbrush/trimmer/Xbox controller—clever case). OS Hell: iOS 26 unification mixed (Watch/iPad laggy; TV fonts tiny). Free Xbox Cloud w/ads rumored (pre/mid/post-rolls? Tim fears retro-ad hell in raids). Video Games Game Pass Glow-Up (or Down): Tiers revamp Nov 4 (Essential $10: 50+ games/cross-play; Premium $15: 200+; Ultimate $30: 400+/day-one Ubisoft/EA/Fortnite—up $10). CoD excluded 2025 ($300M loss last year); no PC-only. Tim: Value for heavy users; Nate: Bait-switch fatigue. Free ad-tier Cloud incoming? Tim's Plays: Lego Voyagers (co-op puzzle; visual storytelling, 3-5hr cute vibes). Hollow Knight (30hr in: slow/janky start—5-8hr slog; soul mechanic shines; 7-8/10; Newgrounds art/jank from 2 devs). Jump Ship ($20 early access: Sea of Thieves/Helldivers space co-op; Zero-G repairs, grid Tetris, Star Fox branching—co-op chaos gold; single-player robot helper). Nate's Dips: Shapes (idle factory builder: shape-mining puzzles, web/Steam sync). Hollow Knight/Silksong (not his jam—zero onboarding). News/Hype: PS State of Play (Ascendant: Returnal roguelike; Wolverine: R-rated leaks confirmed, March '26—Hugh Jackman-esque actor; nuanced vs. Steve Blum growl debate). EA $55B buyout (Saudi royals/Kushner; fears for BioWare/Mass Effect, LGBTQ Apex retcons). Star Seeker Direct Oct 7. Cobra: The Awakening (Switch GI Joe cartoon vibe). GameStop PSA slab trade-in ($5K for Switch/Pokémon—WA weirdos). Wraps on Tron: Ares unspoiled joy (NIN Anaheim March; Disney ad dodges), with Tim's matchmaking glow and Nate's editing dread. Forked vibes: Pain, hype, and "fuck you" laughs.

Summary of "Fork in Your Ear" Podcast Episode (Tim & Nate) This casual, banter-heavy episode kicks off with the hosts (Tim and Nate) fumbling through a sound check amid slurping coffee, barking dogs, and tech glitches—classic podcaster chaos. They joke about cluttered lives, puppy invasions, and Nate's XLR setup before rolling into the main show with self-deprecating humor about aging, coffee mishaps, and existential dread ("Why are we alive?"). Life Updates Tim's Whirlwind: Tim's dealing with home repairs (new dishwasher installed by a former Michelin-star chef from NYC who's now a handyman post-COVID; garage door fixed with smart integrations but noisy app beeps; doorknob drama leading to wild life stories). His leg's seizing from scar tissue (PT starts soon), mom's estate sale cleared out the house but didn't cover septic costs—still a win for decluttering. Financially, things improved: instant check processing, Apple Card approval (finally, after years of denials), and a surprise Xbox delivery after billing nightmares. He rants about Microsoft's chatbot hell for support. Nate's Rollercoaster: Work's feast-or-famine; a past-due job means Sunday overtime (paid double for minimal hours—great for him, bad for the business). Employee health crises abound: a coworker out post-heart attack/stroke, another starting chemo for throat cancer, and a recent funeral. Family hits hard too—stepmom's husband passed, niece prepping for birth amid her first wave of funerals ("Buckle up, buttercup"). Positives: Inheritance windfall pays off a car (no more payments, despite tire-popping wife jokes), and splurging on a kid-proof PC setup (i5, RTX 3050, durable mechanical keyboard/mouse) to spare their main rigs. Shared Vibes: Aging woes (Nate's "pentagenarian" shoulder pain; Tim's body betrayals), random revelations (Tim's massage therapist's quick divorce), and bio breaks mid-episode. Video Games Tim's Light Play: Minimal gaming due to life chaos—snippets of Helltank 2 on new Xbox Series X Galaxy Edition (smoother than Series S; no cross-play griefing despite PS fears; chat lags initially). Excited for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Dec. 4 release; open-world vibes with space motorbike teased in janky trailer—fans divided). Rants: Nintendo's absurd NPC-summoning patent (pre-dates Pokémon); Acclaim's surprise revival with indies like Dead Space Cells knockoff; UE5 scalability for Switch 2 (Star Wars Outlaws shines despite hardware hate); Xbox price hikes ($799 for Galaxy—Tim snagged pre-raise); No Man's Sky Switch 2 Corvette update (multiplayer still OG Switch-less); all RE games native on Switch 2; Perfect Dark cancellation drama (near Take-Two publishing deal fell through). Nate's Dives: Hollow Knight: Silksong (beautiful Metroidvania, but zero onboarding—jumped in blind); Sword of the Sea (watery sandy area progression); Destiny 2 (season-behind fixes make it smooth; hyped for Renegades). Correction: His GameSir controller model's a lighter version (no hall-effect triggers/rumble). Nintendo Direct Highlights: Super Mario Galaxy 1&2 combo (up-res'd for Switch 2; $45 Amiibos rage); Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel subtitled Galaxy (Rosalina focus? Scarlett Johansson headcanon); FF7 Remake & Sonic Trilogy ports; Fire Emblem tease. Sony drama: Ghost of Yōtei designer fired over Charlie Kirk comments (lame PR response). Tech Headsets & Peripherals: Tim's new HyperX Cloud Alpha (fixed PS echo issues; spatial audio blew friend's mind—stereo 101 roast). Nate's Arctis Nova (won in raffle; mix amp for chat/game). Apple Event Rundown: iPhone lineup confirmed (Air: ultra-thin titanium, single cam, cut-down Pro chip; 17 Pros: aluminum return, "Plateau" camera bar for antennas, vapor chamber cooling, 30% sustained perf boost). Modems: C1/C1X in-house (Air/SE); Wi-Fi/Bluetooth N1 chip (efficiency gains). Watches: Hypertension detection, sat-phone Ultra, better battery. OS unifications: Watch/iPad meh (laggy fonts); Apple TV smooth but tiny text; iOS front cam upgrade (square sensor for tracking/selfies). Meta Fail: Ray-Ban Meta AI demo glitches mid-cooking demo ("Meta, what do I do?" meme gold). PC Woes: Tim's shipped rig (Descent setup) dead on arrival—video ports fried; Nate suspects reseat. Entertainment RIP Robert Redford (87; natural causes at home—bummer for Endgame fans). Books/Media: Tim binged Red Rising trilogy (piercing sci-fi; full-cast audiobook for book 4); fan-made Tron: Ares supercut trailer slaps. NIN's Tron: Ares score: Atmospheric/Fragile-era vibes (repetitive riffs, subdued electronics; Infiltrator as core theme; Building Better Worlds evokes Wendy Carlos). Harry Potter full-cast audiobooks incoming (star-studded: McAvoy, Pegg, etc.—overdue money grab?). TV Gripes: Mr. & Mrs. Smith S2 delayed indefinitely (cliffhanger rage); Nate finished Strange New Worlds (Tim slacking on Trek). Episode wraps on unifications' mixed bag, with laughs over beeps, updates, and "pentagenarian" jabs. Runtime ~2.5 hours of raw, unfiltered bro-chat—perfect for fans of tech rants and life entropy. Next time: More Switch 2 hype?    Join The Fork Family On Discord: https://discord.gg/CXrFKxR8uA Remember to give us a review on iTunes or wherever you downloaded this podcast from.

Before anything else, we felt we had to address the Charlie Kirk situation, with what happened to him, why it most likely happened, and what kind of a man Charlie was. This was disgusting anf reprehensible, and we can't just pretend that now is the time for love and togetherness with our foes…  Wanna hear the FULL Episode? Sign up for the Grad Program today! Book Announcement Professor Markel announced that Nick Orr's new novella, "Mockingbird," in the Pipe Hitters Novel series, is available for pre-order on Amazon Kindle and will be released on September 15th. The conversation ended with the introduction of the show and its co-hosts. Firearms Training Home Study Program The professor explained the home study program, which provides structured learning materials including written, video, and testing content to prepare students for in-person firearms training. He emphasized that the program allows students to learn safety rules and techniques before arriving at the range, maximizing the time spent on practical training during the live session. Jarrad highlighted that the home study course covers specific techniques and tactics used in the training, giving students a head start on understanding expectations and allowing them to absorb instruction more quickly during the live session. Gun Safety and Emergency Training The meeting focused on a discussion about responsible gun ownership and emergency medical training. Professor Paul Markel shared his experience hosting a radio show with Tom Gresham and discussed his book "Beyond the Boo Boo," which covers traumatic medical training for citizens. John, a retired physician, called into the show to discuss the importance of stop-the-bleed training and shared his experience as a certified instructor. They emphasized the need for quick action in emergency situations and the simplicity of stop-the-bleed techniques, suggesting that anyone can learn to help save lives in the event of a shooting or other traumatic incident. Battery vs. Tritium Optics Discussion The discussion focused on the benefits and drawbacks of battery-powered versus nuclear-powered (tritium) optics, with Professor Markel explaining that while tritium sights offer perpetual power without battery changes, they are more expensive initially and have a limited lifespan of 8-9 years before needing professional refurbishment.  Sonny Puzikas and the Role of Violence in Man's Life Jarrad sits down with the great Sonny Puzikas for a long discussion on life, faith, and what place that violence has in the world, as well as in a man's life.

The missing body and the secrets surrounding Dr. Bota become entangled with her father's shadowy past and Martel's deadly machinations.

TFIYE Ep#199: Release The Kraken Bunnies! In this episode, hosts Tim Trotter and Nate Foo kick things off with casual banter about their recent woes, including health issues (Tim's skull pains and chiropractor visits, Nate's headaches), matching flat tires on his and his wife's car, extreme California heat (109°F), and AC repairs. Tim shares details on his upcoming mini-vacation to Great Wolf Lodge for water slides, while Nate vents about tire shop hassles and worn treads potentially voiding warranties. They compare road noise in Washington vs. California highways and mention quirky musical roads that play tunes like the William Tell Overture via speed berms. The conversation shifts to major life updates: Tim recounts a grueling week helping his mom prepare for an estate sale on her 35-acre property following his father's passing. He describes hauling massive amounts of accumulated items, including a full shipping container, prepper supplies, barns full of tools, knives, flashlights, old hard drives, MacBooks (like a PowerBook G3), and endless cables. He highlights the emotional and physical toll, plus discoveries like forgotten family ashes. Nate discusses his brother-in-law's dying PC, which has led to piecemeal part replacements, essentially building a new rig. He also reveals last-minute travel drama for PAX West in Seattle: his cousin's sudden divorce forced him to book expensive hotels near Sea-Tac. Nate mentions a side trip to Vancouver, WA, for a family birthday, and they note the coincidence of both being near Great Wolf Lodge areas (though not overlapping). They reflect on reaching Episode 199, teasing the milestone 200th next time, and how they've recorded ~150 episodes together. They geek out over 56K modems, recalling dial-up sounds, specs, and modern USB versions still sold for ~$40 on Amazon for fax needs. They reminisce about connection speeds rarely hitting 53K due to phone line limits. Star Trek App: Nate shares an iOS RSS reader called "Stars" styled after TNG's LCARS interface (beeps, boops included), which Tim already uses weekly. They tie it to Star Trek's influence on iPads. Smartphones & Hardware: Discussion on Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 (now as thin as a regular phone when folded) and Flip; Nate plans to upgrade from his Z Fold 5 despite a center crease crack. They speculate on Apple's potential foldable (maybe an iPad Mini-like device or flip phone), rumors of an ultra-thin "iPhone Air," MagSafe changes, and a possible M4-powered Apple TV. Nate praises a $250 4TB Samsung Evo 870 SSD. Gaming & Apple: They lament Apple's slow gaming push, praising Digital Foundry's coverage of Mac performance (e.g., Cyberpunk on M1+ chips matching 30-series NVIDIA cards in efficiency). They dream of an Apple gaming console or updated Apple TV for titles like Death Stranding. The episode wraps with editing woes (Nate's Audacity setup vs. potential GarageBand switch) and family interruptions in Nate's studio. Clocking in shorter than usual, it's a mix of personal rants, tech nostalgia, and forward-looking gadget hype, ending on their signature "Get forked." This episode highlights the hosts' enduring friendship amid chaos, with plenty of laughs over shared absurdities like "kraken bunnies" (rabbits with papillomavirus horns).    Join The Fork Family On Discord: https://discord.gg/CXrFKxR8uA Remember to give us a review on iTunes or wherever you downloaded this podcast from.

TFIYE Ep #198 Spooky Circus & The RR (Grok 3 Summarization Transcript) The Fork In Your Ear Podcast Episode Summary – July 19, 2025   **Fork in Your Ear Podcast Summary – Episode Recorded August 9, 2025**   In this lively episode, hosts Tim K.A. Trotter and Nate Foo dive into a mix of personal anecdotes, pop culture, gaming, and tech developments, delivering their signature blend of humor and insight.   **Life Updates**: Tim shares his recent battle with a prolonged illness that left him bedridden for days, reflecting on the frustration of wanting to game or watch TV but being too sick to enjoy it. He also recounts a memorable date with his wife at a “spooky circus” by Cirque Italia, a raunchy, R-rated spectacle with sword-swallowing and trapeze acts. Another highlight was their visit to the iconic Double R Cafe in North Bend, Washington, famous from *Twin Peaks* and *Alan Wake*. Nate discusses surviving Southern California's triple-digit heat and a past AC failure, while both hosts lament aging and slower recovery times.   **Technology**: The conversation turns to AI advancements, focusing on Open AI's ChatGPT-5, which promises enhanced coding capabilities but has faced criticism for underperforming and ethical concerns like cloning itself. Tim praises Grok's new image and video generation features, showcasing its ability to create lifelike animations from single images, though it struggles with consistency in content moderation. They speculate on AI's future in entertainment, predicting a shift toward user-generated, high-quality content.   **Gaming**: The hosts discuss the passing of Bethesda's Julian LaFay, the “father of the Elder Scrolls series,” and Sony's move toward multi-platform game releases, with PlayStation titles like *Helldivers 2* coming to Xbox and Switch. They explore the evolving console wars, noting Nintendo's dominance in the portable market and the trend of companies like Capcom making games available across all platforms. Tim shares an encounter with a 65-year-old gamer playing a Switch 2, highlighting Nintendo's broad appeal.   **Entertainment**: Tim gushes about *Fantastic Four: First Steps*, praising its 1960s aesthetic and faithful adaptation of the comics, though he's puzzled by its lack of connection to the MCU's 616 universe. The upcoming *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* sparks excitement with its practical stunt work and return to a street-level story featuring villains like Mr. Negative and the Punisher. The *King of the Hill* revival on Hulu is a standout, with its time-jump approach and aged characters feeling fresh yet nostalgic, though some voice acting changes are jarring. *K-Pop Demon Hunters* on Netflix surprises both hosts with its infectious music and charm, becoming a family favorite. Other highlights include *Twisted Metal*'s absurd fun, *Dexter: Resurrection*'s gripping return, and the news of Gina Carano's settlement with Disney over her *Mandalorian* firing.   The episode wraps with Tim's enthusiasm for *Donkey Kong: Banana Bonanza*'s emotional ending and a nod to upcoming gaming plans, despite technical hiccups during recording. A heartfelt shoutout goes to friend Greg Smith, whose grandmother is in the hospital, urging listeners to send positive vibes.   **Runtime**: Just under 3 hours.   **Sign-off**: “Get forked!”   Join The Fork Family On Discord: https://discord.gg/CXrFKxR8uA Find all our stuff at Remember to give us a review on iTunes or wherever you downloaded this podcast from.
