Marco went AWOL, so Julia and Gnome had to take responsibility for the entire show. We talked about attending the second OCBA Women in Beer Fest, Pomona's Abundance and discussed how amazing it was and how incorrectly we were pronouncing it, if wood nymphs have antlers, order whatever drink you want to drink, whether or not Gnomes actually float, flooded bars and breweries, tipping culture, Mike flew solo again, we refused to talk about tariffs, stock talk, and ending with a feel good story.

Aries seems confused by Power and Control. JESTIES try to explain. But everybody has a different idea.Then, after the open, Aries takes his power and tries to control the convo. Starting with a guesstimate of all our ages, and a polite dance around the subject, we explore. That leads to...Car dealership run by gnomes. The salesperson ceremoniously follows their religion when selling.Aries tries to take things from various locations to use at home, and is surprised to learn people don't live where they work .-- then meets people who create their own schools so they can have more control.Aries is apparently the straight half of a 2-person comedy duo, with "Escalante." Are there layers of straightness? Apparently it has something to do with rapping burritos and eating onions.Ballsy Bob, that guy at the circus who can guess very personal details about the patrons.Fun Table talk tangents about random topics.And so much more...

They stand in gardens, watching. Silent. Smiling. But where did garden gnomes come from? And what if I told you they weren't always harmless? In this episode, I take you deep into the eerie origins of garden gnome folklore—tales of ancient earth spirits, mischievous protectors, and the darker legends that hint at something far more sinister. Are garden gnomes just quirky lawn decorations? Or are they something more—something that remembers, something that waits? By the end of this episode, you may never look at them the same way again. And remember: never break the gnomes. YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/@hauntedchris TikTok- @chris_hah LEAVE A VOICEMAIL - 609-891-8658 The Nightmare Collective SUBSCRIBE!!

Calling all nature-loving bookworms! In this captivating episode, we dive into the world of children's literature that celebrates our deep connection to the earth. Join Jed as he chats with two talented authors, Kate Shooltz and Becky Bell, who are using their creative powers to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards. First up, we meet Kate, the brilliant mind behind the picture book "Kate the Earthling." Kate shares her personal journey of discovering the concept of "biophilia" - the innate human love for the natural world. She explains how this passion has blossomed into her stunning biophilic artwork and her mission to help kids (and adults!) reconnect with the great outdoors. Whether it's sparking curiosity with a backyard bird feeder or embarking on nature-filled field trips, Kate offers practical tips for parents looking to nurture their little ones' appreciation for the planet. And with her vibrant, imaginative illustrations, "Kate the Earthling" is sure to captivate young readers and ignite their sense of wonder. Next, we dive into Becky Bell's enchanting tale, "The Gnomes of Fibberton." This whimsical story explores the consequences of fibbing, as mischievous gnomes keep track of children's lies and whisk them away to the dreaded land of Fibberton. Becky shares how she crafted this clever allegory to encourage honesty and responsibility in a fun, engaging way. Touching on the importance of consequences in children's literature, Becky reminds us that kids are more resilient than we think. By weaving imaginative narratives with valuable life lessons, she's empowering young readers to make thoughtful choices and cultivate strong moral compasses. So get ready to be inspired, informed, and entertained as we uncover the magic of nature-centric children's books. Whether you're a parent, educator, or simply a lover of great storytelling, this episode is a must-listen!

Send us a textWhat if Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) could be the job creator of the century? Buckle up for a hilarious yet thought-provoking exploration of this bold idea as we dissect the potential economic impact of AGI development alongside Chris, who aspires to up his Blue Sky game inspired by his brother Tim. We dive into compelling articles like the one from CRN, spotlighting Palo Alto Networks' maneuver to streamline their product offerings into a singular platform akin to the Apple ecosystem. This opens up the age-old debate about vendor lock-in, and we can't help but chuckle at the similarities with Cisco's approach. We'll also navigate through the labyrinth of product names, specifically Palo Alto's Prisma, and the challenges of achieving true platform integration.Cloud security is a jungle of acronyms and complexity, but fear not—we've got our machetes ready! Join us as we untangle the web of CSPM, CNAP, CIEM, and CASB, piecing together the puzzle of multi-cloud environments highlighted by a Fortinet report. While we question some of the report's methodologies, it undeniably underscores a trend towards centralized security dashboards. With businesses of all sizes grappling with diverse cloud security challenges, we set the stage for an upcoming segment about our own company's stance in this arena. Expect a mix of skepticism, humor, and serious conversation as we navigate this intricate landscape.Finally, we journey into the realm of AGI and job creation, challenging the narrative of inevitable AI-driven job losses. We speculate on the logistics behind such job creation, pondering the international AI race, and throwing in some humor about genetically modified apples for good measure. We wrap up with some playful banter about Tim's personal details and offer heartfelt thanks to our listeners.

Summary provided by summarization of the YouTube transcript, generated by ChatGPT, reviewed by Andy For the full show notes check out the blog at Video Game Tango! --- https://www.videogametango.com --- Indiana Jones Game and High PC Requirements The guys expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming Indiana Jones game, but the discussion quickly shifted to concerns over its demanding PC specs. The game requires an Intel i7 10700K or Ryzen 5 3600, 16–32GB of RAM, and high-end GPUs like the RTX 2060 or RX 6600, even for minimum settings. For ultra settings, players would need top-tier GPUs like the RTX 4080. The high system requirements are seen as indicative of poor optimization. Comparisons were drawn to Cyberpunk 2077 and Red Dead Redemption 2, with Red Dead praised for its visuals and optimization despite being older. Frustration was voiced about the increasing trend of prioritizing hardware power over optimization. Blizzard Updates – Warcraft and WoW Additional updates from Blizzard included news about Warcraft 1 & 2 remakes and player housing in World of Warcraft. Warcraft 1 & 2 are being remastered with higher resolutions and updated art. However, the original versions are being removed from platforms like GOG, sparking criticism. Blizzard announced that World of Warcraft would finally introduce long-requested player housing, although details are scarce. The discussion touched on GOG's legacy of successful optimization and their approach to preserving classic games for modern audiences. Updates on AAA Gaming Bubble and Laura Frier's Commentary Laura Frier, a former executive in the gaming industry, was discussed for her YouTube videos analyzing the AAA gaming space. Her videos touch on key issues like the mismanagement of major projects, "toxic positivity", and the industry's inability to align with gamer feedback. She criticizes AAA studios for not listening to gamers and instead relying on overly positive reviews from gaming media. The conversation also delved into societal issues like backlash against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in gaming. Toxic masculinity and resistance to changes in the gaming industry were highlighted as ongoing challenges. Ubisoft's Decline and X Defiant Cancellation The guys discussed Ubisoft's decision to discontinue development on X Defiant, a free-to-play first-person shooter, due to poor market performance and profitability concerns. Ubisoft also shut down production studios in San Francisco, Osaka, and Sydney, with layoffs affecting 150 employees. The company's ongoing struggles were attributed to over-reliance on the games-as-a-service model, which is unpopular with many gamers. Broader criticism of Ubisoft included the underwhelming performance of Star Wars Outlaws and declining investor confidence, with their stock losing half its value in 2023. Intel's New Graphics Cards (Battle Mage Series) Intel's upcoming line of Arc graphics cards, code-named Battle Mage, was introduced as a potential disruptor in the graphics card market. The B570 and B580 models aim to compete with Nvidia's RTX 4060 at significantly lower prices. The B580 could offer a 10–40% performance boost over the RTX 4060 while being $100–$150 cheaper. These cards are targeted at the mid-tier budget market, making PC gaming more accessible. The guys expressed hope for Intel's success to increase competition in the GPU space and lower inflated prices. Indie Game Spotlight – Gnomes A unique indie game called Gnomes was highlighted for its creative mix of gameplay styles. Gnomes is a tower-defense game with roguelike elements and strategic resource management. Players build gnome villages while defending against waves of invading goblins. The game features a modular map system, synergies between different upgrades, and quirky aesthetics. Gameplay blends elements of Lemmings (UI), Loop Hero (strategic loop mechanics), and Luck Be a Landlord (meta-progression and upgrades). The guys praised the game's demo for its balance, fun mechanics, and whimsical vibe. They encouraged players to try the free demo available on Steam and speculated on a release within the coming months. Broader Gaming Industry Trends and Community Plans The discussion concluded with reflections on the gaming industry's struggles with innovation, reliance on PR over quality, and the need for more competition. The guys expressed nostalgia for the golden age of gaming when the market offered more diverse and polished titles. They plan to stream the PC Gaming Show on December 5th and the Game Awards on December 12th. Social games like Jackbox may be hosted during the holidays for friends and community members alike!

Welcome back to Tinfoil Tales! On this episode I am joined by my guest Susy Bastille. She is an independent researcher of the elusive and often maligned pukwudgie (that diminutive forest dwelling humanoid, and trickster, of Wampanoag folklore).Born and raised in CT, Susy's focus has been in the rich history of strange and spooky occurrences in New England. Her research into pukwudgies led her to delve into the mystery of the Bridgewater triangle, one of New England's most infamous high strangeness areas. The area has phenomena including numerous ghost sightings, bigfoot, thunderbirds, giant snakes, phantom lights, UFOs and of course pukwudgies. Susy is currently working on an archival project of wee folk sightings and related phenomenon across the country. Her other passion project is researching and visiting ancient stone structures and ceremonial sites in New England which has begun to overlap with her interest in the paranormal. She is also a co-host of THE HIGH STRANGENESS FACTOR, with Steve Ward and Andy Mercer, on The Paranormal UK Radio Network https://linktr.ee/susybastilleTinfoil Tales Podcast - Show Notes
Sometimes, it's the silence that hits the hardest. The soft, unassuming quiet that settles like a shroud after night has drawn its velvet curtains. Parents leave, doors lock, and the lone babysitter is left with nothing but the hum of a refrigerator, the echo of a distant clock, and the steady, sleeping breaths of children in darkened rooms. There's a sense of peace, yes—a warm glow that says, “All is well.” But beneath that calm, the shadows grow a little deeper, and the darkness holds its breath. It starts subtly, like a whisper heard in passing, an echo out of place. A voice where none should be. A noise from behind a closed door, a faint shiver in the walls that crawls under your skin and makes your heart skip a beat. You think it's nothing, just the house settling, the wind, a stray radio signal—anything that makes sense. But then the inexplicable persists, nudges at the edge of your mind until you're left wondering if you're truly alone. In the dim stillness, a kind of terror begins to blossom—a terror made of half-heard sounds, the quiet whimper of a dog, the inexplicable thump from an empty room. And as the hours creep forward, each sound grows louder, each shadow darker, until the feeling settles in, heavy and chilling: there's something else here, unseen but watching, waiting. And maybe, just maybe, it isn't friendly. Join us as we dive into an episode filled with true Babysitter Ghost Stories. ----- TIME STAMPS: 0:00 - Is Christian Getting Sick? 1:07 - TFD: The Musical Coming Soon 2:27 - Spooky Ghost Podcast Intro 3:46 - Welcome Back, Homies 5:43 - STORY: Quack, Quack 9:13 - Hearing Your Name Called Just Before Sleep 10:56 - Atlas Sees a Monster in the Studio 14:03 - STORY: The Phone Call 15:56 - Christian Wishes He Was British 17:39 - STORY: A Voice 18:40 - Shoutout Seth 20:13 - STORY: Another Voice 25:34 - STORY: Dad's Home 30:23 - STORY: There's Something In The Closet 36:54 - Creepy Cartoons 38:44 - Laynie & The Haunted House 42:36 - Christian Is Snarky Today 50:53 - An Evening of Gnomes & Mariachi 52:27 - Friends & Seinfeld for Some Reason 53:23 - Closing Thoughts 55:42 - Moody Chillstep Outro -------- If you want to become a producer, visit this link: http://bit.ly/3WZ3xTg Episode Producer: Eric Long -------- Armed with nothing more than a non-sensical soundboard, a fascination for all things unexplained, and a heaping dose of dry humor; TFD is a weekly paranormal comedy podcast featuring real ghost stories, Cryptid lore discussions, and true paranormal experiences catering to the week's theme.

Happy Halloween (almost)! The boys discuss the importance of a Shakespearean education, our missing link, why you look hot and a home for gnomes.
HOUR ONE: Did she drown? Did she commit suicide? Despite her death in 1889, we still don't know how Maggie Hourigan died. (The Mystery of Maggie Hourigan) *** In 1958 Gavin Gibbons wrote a children's science-fiction novel By Space Ship to the Moon, which featured a UFO landing on Moel Sych in the Berwyn Mountains of North Wales. Sixteen years later, in a surreal case of life imitating art, those very same mountains would again be the focus for a story involving a downed UFO. But this time, some said, the story was for real. (The UFO Case That Refuses to Die) *** What if creatures like gnomes and imps aren't just real – but also evil? (Nasty Gnomes, Evil Imps and Terrifying Tommyknockers)==========HOUR TWO: “Jerry Meets A Sasquatch” *** Greer Island, a small patch of land close to where the West Fork of the Trinity River flows into Lake Worth, is heavily shaded by tall oaks, cedar elms and cottonwoods. One of the quietest spots in Fort Worth, the island is home to egrets and owls, perhaps an alligator or two. And maybe, just maybe, the Lake Worth Monster. (The Lake Worth Monster) *** In 2017, Washington State Senator Karen Keiser was quoted as saying, “The incidents continue, they continue, and we have to consider that there is potential cosmic life over the island… it's a very special place, with a cosmic presence.” What exactly happened on Maurey Island in 1947? (The Maurey Island Incident) *** Whether you're a true believer or one of those skeptics, stories of spirits haunting the living from the confines of a Ouija board can chill you to the bone, and make you think twice before communicating with entities from another dimension.
