Giant Mess podcast host Neal Lynch reacts to the New York Giants fumbling away a winnable game against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5. Five Giants turnovers led to 13 Saints points. Darius Slayton dropped a big pass and fumbled on a promising drive before half. Jaxson Dart threw two interceptions and lost the ball while scrambling to start the second half. Cam Skattebo's fumble at the beginning of the 4th quarter broke the Giants' spirit. The vaunted Big Blue pass rush applied pressure but couldn't register a sack. The secondary allowed big plays and was flagged for big penalties. This was one of the biggest blown leads in Giants franchise history.00:00:00 - Intro00:00:54 - Thoughts going into Saints game, 2025 Giants are 1997 Giants after starting 1-3?00:14:01 - Done defending Darius Slayton, roster decisions00:19:32 - Giants vs Saints Team Stats Review, Unit Reviews 00:21:25 - Giants Offense Breakdown part 100:50:42 - Biggest Comebacks in Giants History00:53:04 - Giants Offense Breakdown part 201:05:42 - Giants Defense Breakdown part 101:20:46 - Biggest Blown Leads in Giants History, 2020 Giants, 1996 Giants01:31:46 - Has Any Giants Coach Done What Brian Daboll Could Do in 2025?01:37:53 - Fire Daboll, Ruin Dart?

The 2025 New York Mets season will go down as one of the most crushing collapses in team history—and yes, that's saying something. In this episode of Giant Mess, host Neal Lynch breaks down the Mets' brutal final month, game by game, series by series. We're talking heartbreak, poor pitching, missed chances, and the all-too-familiar agony of being a Mets fan in the Steve Cohen era. There's pain, there's humor, and there's a little wisdom tucked in for good measure. If you're still mourning, you're not alone.

The New York Giants pulled off a shocking Week 4 upset over the Los Angeles Chargers, powered by rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart's debut performance and a revitalized defense that pressured Justin Herbert into mistakes. Despite losing Malik Nabers to a season-ending ACL injury, Big Blue found new life with Dart and Cam Skattebo leading the offense. Neal Lynch recaps the Giants' first win over the Chargers since 1998, breaks down Brian Daboll's job-saving decision, and previews the Week 5 showdown against the New Orleans Saints.

Recently when talking to my freshman class about time management strategies, part of me started to feel sorry for them knowing that the challenge of time management only gets harder and not easier. I'm sure it feels overwhelming to have so many classes, social activities, for some sports obligations, joining clubs, and even hopefully sleep. There is a lot to balance, and achieving that balance seems like a never-ending struggle.And of course that only gets worse. Add in children, household chores, more demanding jobs, maintaining relationships, bills, exercise, and any number of other commitments, having that balance can feel pretty impossible. I'm always trying to balance the things that I am supposed to do, the things that I want to do, and the things that I have avoided doing but still think about. I know I'm not alone in this struggle, as most people feel that their lives are out of balance, or at least the kind of balance that they would like to have. Leadership also requires a lot of balance not only for yourself, but for those for whom you are responsible. Leaders are supposed to be decisive and show direction. At the same time, modern leadership also requires giving people agency and autonomy, leaving room for others to help decide how the group moves forward. There is the balancing of stakeholder perspectives in an ever-widening circle that goes beyond customers and employees to communities and even society. If an agency is involved, then there is the issue of balancing the desires of clients with your own insights and expertise. My guest today on Experience by Design knows quite a bit about these balancing acts. Livia Bernardini has spent her life trying to balance different cultures. Born and raised in Italy, then moving to Paris, Australia, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and now England. Her own personal challenges led to find balance through artistic endeavors such as painting, drawing, and sewing. Today she is the CEO of the agency Future Platforms, an agency that helps clients transform their businesses through digital products and experiences. Their clients include Domino's, Liv Golf, Ralph Lauren, the Premier League, PSG, and many others. We talk about the balancing act that she experiences as a CEO, speaker, moderator, and author. She describes her philosophy of “pragmatic progress” to evaluate her success in balancing. In her work, Liv discusses balancing the potential of emergent technology like AI with its inherent limitations as well. LIv's degree in Communication and Media Studies as well as Marketing gives her a deep insight into culture today, especially how the digital environment of social media is shaping our perceptions of the world. While much can be accomplished through the digital tools we have available to us, not all of it is good. As a result, we have to prioritize people, then planet, and finally profit.Finally, we explore the balancing of client requests with the insights that your team might have. Ultimately, to achieve balance in experience design, we need to look at the entire experience ecosystem, including the contexts and stakeholders that are present in it. When doing so, we need to think in terms of ethical and sustainable solutions that create better outcomes for those involved in that ecosystem.

What happens when you leave behind a career in food journalism to take over a family farm in Iowa? For Beth Hoffman, it meant putting theory into practice - and learning firsthand just how difficult it is to make small and mid-sized farming work in today's economy.In her book Bet the Farm and in her daily life raising grass-finished cattle and organic crops, Beth confronts the financial and cultural realities most farmers face: land that's too expensive for beginners, markets that reward consolidation over stewardship, and infrastructure built for scale instead of community. Yet her story is also one of possibility -o f finding ways to align values with viability and imagining what a more just and sustainable food system could look like.In this episode, we dive into: Beth's journey from food journalist to first-generation farmer in Iowa The hidden costs of farming and why most operations run on razor-thin margins The double bind of land access, generational transfer, and skyrocketing prices Why infrastructure like slaughterhouses and markets is as important as the land itself The trade-offs between environmental ideals and financial realities on the ground How gender and cultural narratives shape who is seen as a “real farmer” What a truly sustainable and just farming system would requireMore about Beth:Beth Hoffman began her food writing career focused on culture, producing a food series on KUER in Salt Lake City and receiving a grant to document the stories of immigrant women as they cooked in their homes (which became a radio series that aired on Weekend America). Now, twenty-five years into writing and producing work on food and agriculture, Beth has freelanced for radio and print publications (NPR, The World, The Guardian, Forbes and many more) and was an Associate Professor at the University of San Francisco in Media Studies. But perhaps most importantly, she and her husband John moved from the big city to rural Iowa to take over his family's 530-acre farm. She wrote a book called Bet the Farm: The Dollars and Sense of Growing Food in America, using their experiences to illustrate how the American food system works. The couple raises grass-fed and finished beef, pastured goats and some vegetables and offer cooking and writing classes on the farm.Agrarian Futures is produced by Alexandre Miller, who also wrote our theme song.

Historiographies of Game Studies: What It Has Been, What It Could Be (Punctum Books, 2025) offers a first-of-its-kind reflection on how game studies as an academic field has been shaped and sustained. Today, game studies is a thriving field with many dedicated national and international conferences, journals, professional societies, and a strong presence at conferences in disciplines like computer science, communication, media studies, theater, visual arts, popular culture, and others. But, when did game studies start? And what (and who) is at the core or center of game studies? Fields are defined as much by what they are not as by what they are, and their borderlands can be hotly contested spaces. In this anthology, scholars from across the field consider how the boundaries of game studies have been established, codified, contested, and protected, raising critical questions about who and what gets left out of the field. Over more than two dozen chapters and interviews with leading figures, including Espen Aarseth, Kishonna Gray, Henry Jenkins, Lisa Nakamura, Kentaro Matsumoto, Ken McAllister, and Janet Murray, the contributors offer a dazzling array of insightful provocations that address the formation, propagation, and cultivation of game studies, interrogating not only the field's pasts but its potential futures and asking us to think deliberately about how academic fields are collectively built. Alisha Karabinus (she/her) is Assistant Professor of Writing and Digital Studies at Grand Valley State University. Carly A. Kocurek (she/her) is Professor of Digital Humanities and Media Studies at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Cody Mejeur (they/them) is Assistant Professor of Game Studies at University at Buffalo, SUNY. Emma Vossen (she/her) is an Assistant Professor of Game Studies in the Department of Digital Humanities at Brock University, Canada. Rudolf Thomas Inderst (*1978) enjoys video games since 1985. He received a master's degree in political science, American cultural studies as well as contemporary and recent history from Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich and holds two PhDs in game studies (LMU & University of Passau). Currently, he's teaching as a professor for game design and game studies at the University of Applied Sciences Neu-Ulm, has submitted his third dissertation at the University of Vechta, holds the position as lead editor at the online journal TITEL kulturmagazin for the game section, hosts the German local radio show Replay Value and is editor of the weekly game research newsletter DiGRA D-A-CH Game Studies Watchlist.

Historiographies of Game Studies: What It Has Been, What It Could Be (Punctum Books, 2025) offers a first-of-its-kind reflection on how game studies as an academic field has been shaped and sustained. Today, game studies is a thriving field with many dedicated national and international conferences, journals, professional societies, and a strong presence at conferences in disciplines like computer science, communication, media studies, theater, visual arts, popular culture, and others. But, when did game studies start? And what (and who) is at the core or center of game studies? Fields are defined as much by what they are not as by what they are, and their borderlands can be hotly contested spaces. In this anthology, scholars from across the field consider how the boundaries of game studies have been established, codified, contested, and protected, raising critical questions about who and what gets left out of the field. Over more than two dozen chapters and interviews with leading figures, including Espen Aarseth, Kishonna Gray, Henry Jenkins, Lisa Nakamura, Kentaro Matsumoto, Ken McAllister, and Janet Murray, the contributors offer a dazzling array of insightful provocations that address the formation, propagation, and cultivation of game studies, interrogating not only the field's pasts but its potential futures and asking us to think deliberately about how academic fields are collectively built.

Send us a textSPECIAL NOTE: SEASON 15 OF THE GOOD, THE POD AND THE UGLY CELEBRATES THE USE OF THE PRACTICAL AND DIGITAL EFFECT KNOWN AS THE SQUIB. IRL GUN VIOLENCE IS INTOLERABLE AND RENOUNCED BUT... CINEMATIC VIOLENCE WILL BE CELEBRATED IN A WAY THAT MAY DISTURB SOME LISTENERS. This week TGTPTU covers the film Elephant, no not the 2000s school-shooter mood piece by Gus Van Sant filmed in Portland, OR and covered previously and paired with Scarface (1983, not the earlier, black-and-white 1932 Howard Hawkes version) in Episode 8 of this Squib Season (it's Season 15 after all, not Season 14's Redux where the hosts covered films already covered) but, rather, the 39-minute, made-for-British-TV short film directed by Alan Clarke also entitled ELEPHANT (1989). Chosen by host Thomas for its un-celebratory violence, the film tracks with Clarke's influential, wide-angle following shots (camera, not bullet) people who shoot other people (with bullets, not cameras) in mostly silent milieus but for environmental sounds, mostly very bloody. (As mentioned by cohost Ken, and for more on this camera placement and its effects and influence on Van Sant, see this video essay on the Film & Media Studies' YouTubeTM channel: https://youtu.be/Z5B8_IDhJQo.) Produced and defended by Danny Boyle, Elephant's unspoken (again, mostly silent with dialogue barely heard in just one scene between four blokes kicking around the football toward the middle of the flick) subject is The Troubles in the UK. In what is either bravery or foolery (callers into the network after this movie aired were split), working class and Brit-born Clarke--by then a celebrated veteran of the medium of the British TV issues film--stripped the original screenplay of dialogue when making the film in order to focus on the act of gun murder as was then currently occurring. With one un-notable exception, each of the eighteen scenes of gun violence has the shooter followed into the setting where the homicide is to occur, shoot his victim, leave followed by the camera/audience, and then cut back to silent moments of each murdered man filling the frame with his recently un-lifed corpse. Elephant would be Clarke's penultimate work, with The Firm (no, not the adaption of the John Grisham novel that gave Holly Hunter the nom for Best Supporting Actress the same year she won Best Actress for The Piano as The Firm you're thinking of is by Sydney Pollack) also shot for British television and aired in 1989 as his final. Clarke would cross the pond to see if he could sell out in America (according to Ken) and die in 1990 at the age of 54. The film resoundingly fails the Bechdel test. Host Ryan calls Clarke a coward.

Giant Mess podcast host Neal Lynch recaps the New York Giants' 21-6 loss to the Washington Commanders in the 2025 season opener and previews the Dallas Cowboys matchup.The Giants lost 21-6 to Washington, scoring only field goals while the Commanders scored three touchdowns.Offensive output was extremely limited: the Giants managed just 231 total yards while the Commanders put up over 430, and New York failed to convert red zone trips into touchdowns on multiple occasions.New York is now 3-15 in games without a healthy Andrew Thomas since 2022.Newcomer QB Russell Wilson struggled in his debut (17 of 37, 168 yards, no TDs), dealing with constant pressure (22 Washington pressures on 45 dropbacks) and intermittent drops from receivers.New York ran 11 plays inside the 10 and came away with only 3 points.The defense was unable to contain the Washington ground game, surrendering over 220 rushing yards, though they did register a few sacks.Play-calling is described as "cowardly" and lacking aggression, typified by settling for field goals instead of seizing touchdown opportunities.Management and coaching are heavily criticized for failing to upgrade and develop the offensive line, missing out on opportunities to install a new team personality or take bold strategic risks.Highlights how the Giants have failed to score a touchdown in three straight season openers—something last done by the 1940-42 Detroit Lions.Giants' last three season openers: outscored 89-12, have not scored a touchdown in any of them.Third down efficiency: just 4-of-16; the team averaged only 3.7 yards per play, further highlighting offensive stagnation.Red zone futility: 11 plays inside the 10-yard line, net -3 yards, just three points.Run Game: No Giants rusher stood out; offensive line inconsistency prevented big gains or sustained drives.New York Giants Fan Rants & Analysis from Giant Mess Podcast - https://bit.ly/NYGiantsYTPlaylist NY Mets Fan Rants & Analysis from Giant Mess - https://bit.ly/MetsYTPlaylist Movie Reviews from Giant Mess Podcast - https://bit.ly/GiantMessMovieReviews TV Show Reactions from Giant Mess Podcast - https://bit.ly/GiantMessTV Funny Stories from Giant Mess Podcast - https://bit.ly/GiantMessFunnyStoriesABOUT NEAL LYNCH:Neal Lynch is the creator and host of Giant Mess, a podcast blending sports commentary, pop culture analysis, and storytelling.

Part civil rights discourse and part academic discipline, Fat Studies is a dynamic project that involves contradiction and discussion. In order to understand this field, the book also explores its intersections with race, class, gender, sexuality, age, disability, ethnicity, migration and beyond. In addition to thinking through terminology and history, this book will aim to unpack three key myths which often guide Fat Studies, showing that: fat is a meaningful site of oppression intersected with other forms of discrimination and hatred to be fat is not a choice (but also that a discussion of choice is itself problematic); and fat cannot be unambiguously correlated with a lack of health Fat Studies: The Basics is a lively and accessible foundation for students of Gender Studies, Sociology, Psychology, and Media Studies, as well as anyone interested in learning more about this emergent field.

If you listen to The Colin McEnroe Show regularly, you likely know that Colin has been influenced by two media theorists: Marshall McLuhan and Neil Postman. Postman wrote Amusing Ourselves to Death, among other books, and McLuhan is probably most famous for the phrase "The medium is the message," in addition to other influential ideas. This hour, we look at the ideas of McLuhan and Postman, and discuss why they still resonate so much today.

Giant Mess podcast host Neal Lynch reviews Jurassic World Rebirth starring Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, and everyone's favorite shipwrecked family.The film takes place five years after Jurassic World: Dominion. An expedition is launched to isolated equatorial regions with the goal of extracting DNA from three massive prehistoric creatures—this time for a groundbreaking medical breakthrough.The visuals and dinosaur action are praised as impressive and thrilling. The “T-Rex River Wrath” sequence is called “one of the best scenes of the year.”References to the in-movie suggestion that people might be “over dinosaurs.” The host challenges this, arguing that the enduring box office and cultural impact prove otherwise—“People love dinosaurs.”There's criticism for relying on “familiar and somewhat underdeveloped” plot points and characters. The Delgado family and some other new additions don't quite land as fresh as hoped.Scarlett Johansson (“Scarjo”) debuts as Zora Bennett, a covert ops expert. She's enthusiastic about joining the franchise but gives a more restrained performance, possibly to differentiate from her Marvel persona.Mahershala Ali (Duncan Kincaid) is praised as a standout, with the host suggesting he nearly “stole the show.”Jonathan Bailey (Dr. Henry Loomis) is also positively received.Gareth Edwards is recognized for his approach and commended for atmosphere and “making you feel uneasy,” but Rebirth is described as his “lowest-rated directorial effort,” though still “mid-tier” in the Jurassic franchise hierarchy.Writer David Koepp returns (he wrote the original Jurassic Park and other classics.The podcast pushes back on industry/media claims about dinosaur (or superhero) movie over-saturation: “We're nowhere near the same level of saturation [as superheroes], and dinosaurs are still exciting by nature.Franchise longevity is compared to *Fast & Furious*. The host argues Jurassic could continue with annual dinosaur movies and still not reach genre exhaustion.Movie Reviews from Giant Mess Podcast - https://bit.ly/GiantMessMovieReviews TV Show Reactions from Giant Mess Podcast - https://bit.ly/GiantMessTV Funny Stories from Giant Mess Podcast - https://bit.ly/GiantMessFunnyStoriesNew York Giants Fan Rants & Analysis from Giant Mess Podcast - https://bit.ly/NYGiantsYTPlaylist NY Mets Fan Rants & Analysis from Giant Mess - https://bit.ly/MetsYTPlaylist ABOUT NEAL LYNCH:Irish-Italian-American who graduated from a Catholic high school (even though I'm not Catholic), and a college known for producing doctors and lacrosse players, then became neither.
