A conversation with Paul Sørensen. This episode is in English :)

Wake up wood chuck chuckers! It's Groundhog Day! Come on a trip to Punxsutawney as we explore the lore of the legendary holiday and revisit (again) Bill Murray's classic movie on Enjoy Stuff! Who knows what weather lies in the hearts of men? The shadow knows! Well, the groundhog's shadow. It's always fun to watch Bill Murray's movie for the twentieth time, and that's just in one viewing! Let's look at some trivia and find out if it's going to be an early spring, or eternal darkness.  News This dude spent 2 years creating a giant Clone Wars battle scene out of LEGO  Got the munchies?

And speaking of cereal, have you seen or tried the Friends (The one with the vanilla latte) Cereal?   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying What would you do if your body was being replaced by chrome nanites? How would the world react with the threat of an alien infestation? That's the question in the book that Shua is Enjoying, “The Singularity Trap” by Dennis E. Taylor. An Audible exclusive and another great Sci-Fi book. Jay revisited an Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece from 1954, “Rear Window” starring Jimmy Stewart. One of many brilliant pieces of art from the legendary director. It will keep you on the edge of your seat and keep you guessing.      Sci-Fi Saturdays This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay travels to Pandora in the 2009 James Cameron extravaganza, Avatar.

And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU. Enjoy Groundhogs!  Jay and Shua take a deep dive into the history of Groundhog Day and the 1993 classic Groundhog Day, starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. They explore how the holiday started and how it turned into what we know today, where a groundhog predicts the weather for the year ahead, because, apparently, we trust rodents to be trustworthy meteorologists. The guys also dissect the beloved film, touching on the themes of personal growth, redemption, and how a guy stuck in the same day for so long can still teach us something about life. Along the way, they toss out their own theories on just how long Phil was trapped in that time loop and what it might have been like to live through it. And Jay gives Shua some trivia about the movie and the holiday that you probably didn't know, unless, of course, you're a groundhog. What do you like about Groundhog Day? Do you want to hear a joke about Deja Vu?  First person that emails me with the subject line, “I got you babe” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.

Dennis E. Taylor's bio simply states that he is a retired computer programmer, an enthusiastic snowboarder, and an inveterate science fiction reader. His Bobiverse Trilogy steps on any authoritarian, political, or religious toes. We discuss his satire as a lead-up to our upcoming relaunch of Mission Earth. It was written in multiple first-person points of view. Fascinating! Having read "We Are Legion (We Are Bob)" in the Bobiverse trilogy, I now understand his writing satire.

This episode contains: Steven and Devon record on a glorious Sunday afternoon. Where's Ben? It's fun to have Nicole Lawless on the show (ep421) as an actual science person. Devon woke up in a good mood, until he watched the Star Trek: Picard trailer. That Star Trek: Picard trailer was TOO DARK. Brighten it up! Devon continues to work on removing the tree stump. With fire. When Devon removed the stump, did he shout "STUMPFEST"? Steven and Devon drool over the new Lego Razorcrest. Lego just bumped up all their prices due to inflation. Crazy. Steven finally gets a day off from single dad duty after Martine's recovery. Ok ok ok, where's Ben? Lego: so much money for plastic in different orientations.  Evolutionarily speaking: Dead fish breathes new life into the evolutionary origin of fins and limbs. Evolution is AWESOME. Devon's 4yo. asked "when were chickens invented?" Devon talks evolution. Previously, our galeaspid fossils only had heads. Now we have a whole fossil. Primitive creatures on earth either had fins or limbs. Not both. If it wasn't for one measely asteroid, the dinosaurs would still be here. Is there a dinosaur planet out there? Is that where Ben is? https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/09/220928113007.htm Stressed friend: Dogs can smell when we're stressed, study suggests. A psychological stress response alters odor profile in our breath or sweat. Dogs can detect an odor change in VOCs produced by humans in response to stress. Want to test stress among study participants? Give them Math tasks! https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/09/220929133419.htm Common gene variant linked to COVID mortality: Presence of the APOE gene can predict cancer, dementia, and COVID severity. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/09/220921093000.htm Science Fiction: We have a picture of the hosts in Lower Decks style. Join our Patreon to see it! You want a whole episode of Lower Decks about Peanut Hamper? Be careful what you wish for. And they didn't really do any development on the character of Peanut Hamper. The bird people made Lower Decks feel like Rick & Morty. More Jeffrey Combs in Lower Decks this last week. AGIMUS is back, baby! But not Ben, I guess. Worf is a super serious Klingon, because he wasn't raised as one. Picard season 3 trailer came out, and everybody is SOOOO OLLLLLD. So... Worf is a pacifist now? Cool. We're down for it. Worf started as a cliche, but thanks to DS9 he's a well-rounded character. Big spiky ship now wants to blow us up, like the last few Star Trek films. Round ships vs. spiky ships: It's a simple rock-paper-scissors situation. How does 7 of 9 become captain of a Starfleet ship, given the first two seasons of Picard? Devon tears apart the ships of Picard season 3. Devon will not sell his Eaglemoss ships, even though it's out of business. Devon likes Andor! At least the first two episodes! The internet breaks! Devon review's Dennis E. Taylor's new book: Roadkill. Light read and fun. The A.I. in Roadkill is kinda like if the character Frasier from the show Frasier wanted to kill humans. Steven reviews The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers:

W tym odcinku pochylimy się nad ORMami.

One of my all time favorite authors joins me for a Zoom call, and we discuss his science fiction books and short stories. Simulation Theory, space travel, todays "UFOs", and more. This was a real honor for me. I would love if you checked out some of his writing, and his audiobooks are a work of art. Audible.com is the place to listen to his books, and I would suggest starting off with We Are Legion.
