Es ist wieder so weit: Die beliebteste Rubrik aus dem Nerdfunk ist am Start. Wir läuten die Feiertage mit dem ersten Teil unseres dreiteiligen Jahresrückblicks ein. Wie üblich lassen wir das Jahr anhand unserer bewährten Kategorien Revue passieren und beginnen mit unseren Lieblings-Gadgets des Jahres. Die Auswahl ist wie immer überraschend, vielfältig und teilweise fragwürdig. In diesem Jahr zeigt sich noch deutlicher als in früheren Jahren, dass uns oft nicht die Geräte aus dem Luxussegment in den Bann schlagen, sondern dass der Charme von Low-Tech, die Nachhaltigkeit und Reparierbarkeit uns in den Bann schlagen. Nebst den tollen Gadgets kommen auch die Flops zum Zug: Das sind Gerätschaften, die von ihren Herstellern vernachlässigt und darum nicht mehr benutzt werden können. Auch eine ständige Quelle für Frust: Zu komplexe, fehleranfällige, viel zu hogezüchtete und zu indiskrete elektronische Utensilien. Und ja, für die fehlende Mikrofondisziplin entschuldigen wir uns: Nächste Woche wird weniger in die Jingles gequatscht.

This week on the HappyCast, we have a special (very) late night episode and a small reunion of sorts that quickly becomes unhinged as we have Aaron Kubala of Speed Project and Moab 240 Pool Boy fame join to talk about his latest undertaking - The Ultra Gobi. Andrew and Aaron sip on some wine all throughout and try to stay on track to talk about this latest undertaking. This is a 400km race through the Gobi Desert in China that traverses the ancient Silk Road. Aaron was able to not only finish, but he ended up running a majority of the race with another 200 mile juggernaut, Jovica Spajic. We hear all about this experience and the formation of a friendship that will last the test of time.And in a twist development, Mika Thewes joins us to help stir the pot and create even more madness in this episode as we talk about all sorts of topics. For those who enjoy a well structured episode focused solely on trail running, this one may not be it. So join in on the chaotic, free-flowing nature of this episode as we learn more about Aaron's epic undertaking and, well, a lot of other stuff. There's sure to be something in this episode that will tug at the heart strings…or not.

Send us a textEver tried a Kool-Aid pickle? We kick off this unexpectedly wild ride with some strange culinary adventures that will tickle your taste buds and your funny bone. Join us as we wade through the colorful waters of bizarre food trends, before diving into a lively debate: are movies still the reigning American art form, or have video games stolen the spotlight? Our personal tales of creating a quirky Mr. Toast app, marked by a year of creativity and financial hiccups, add a nostalgic touch to our chat about passion projects and their unpredictable journeys.Shifting gears, we get caught up in the peculiar world of M. Night Shyamalan's latest brain-bender, "Trap." With Josh Hartnett in the spotlight, we unravel a film that mixes serial killers with concert chaos, leaving us scratching our heads at its odd twists and turns. From TV throwbacks with "Head of the Class" to dissecting the movie's quirks—like Shyamalan's daughter rocking the stage as Lady Raven—we critique its narrative puzzles and ponder if the lack of a typical twist is the twist itself. Our analysis keeps the conversation rolling, questioning everything from the killer's tactics to the eyebrow-raising role of social media.As the episode winds down, we lighten the mood with some holiday cheer and a touch of nostalgia. Picture a sitcom set in a Christmas store or get hyped for "Finding Mr. Christmas"—a reality show that's as heartwarming as a holiday movie. Sprinkled with a dash of laughter, our chatter about past cinematic gems like "Dungeons and Dragons" and a thrilling Kim Basinger classic keeps the spirit of entertainment alive.

"Dear Heather and Poolboy,I really hope you read this on air because I need all the advice I can get. Recently My family and I have been in a bit of financial trouble. My mom's car stopped working and had to be taken to the shop. However, the last couple of years we have been riding the very thin line between being stable and being flat broke, I fear getting our car fixed will take the majority of my mom's money. Luckily she was allowed to work from home while we sort out what to do about her car, so she won't lose her job.But that leads me into my problem. I want to get a job to help but I have no clue what to do. I'm paralyzed with indecision. For context I just turned 18 in June and graduated high school in May. I have decided not to go to college immediately seeing as how I wouldn't be able to go without acquiring student loan debt and I'm not sure what grants or scholarships (if any) I qualify for. I did ok in school, I maintained a C average, which I feel is pretty good considering the problems that surfaced in my last few years of high school.To make a long story better fit a therapist short, I need career advice. I know I can't live with my mom for free forever, but I'm absolutely utterly terrified of taking that next step. Terrified to let my family down, terrified to fail, and terrified to succeed if I'm being honest. My mom isn't any help. She keeps saying things like "Once you get a job that money will help us dig our way out of this hole".We can't really lean on family for help because they all live in another city. It's not a long drive from us to them, but given our circumstances it might as well be another state. I feel so alone, like I have to carry the whole family on my back. I can't do that, I'm just a kid. So if you have any advice please share it, it would greatly help!"See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What to do when you're about to run out of gas?! A kid told Heather & Poolboy that he was 20 minutes from school in his dad's car and he thought they might not make it. He got some tips!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

According to studies, married men live longer than bachelors, but it's the opposite for women. Poolboy doesn't agreeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Good morning Heather and Pool Boy,I've sent in a problem before and got some really validating feedback from the listeners so I thought I'd send in this problem as well. My husband and I have been together for 17 years and married for 14, I haven't been happy for many years now. We started the divorce process in 2018 but then stopped it in early 2019 because we thought we could work things out. Soon thereafter he left for work overseas for 3 years and got back in 2022. We have two kids and after the almost divorce in 2018 I vowed I would stay with him until my youngest was 18 so we didn't put them through that again, but I don't think I can do it anymore. We are totally different people (always have been if I'm being honest) and we have no chemistry and nothing in common. We got married at 18 (me) and 20 (him) and I am not the same person I was then. So what should I do? Try and stick around for the kids or end it? I've put this in so many different contexts and I'm at a loss. Please help!!!Anonymous"See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Dear Heather and Poolboy, I proposed to my girlfriend two weeks ago. She rejected my proposal. We are still together. My friends say I should dump her and move on. My sisters say I shouldn't end the relationship just because my girlfriend is not ready to marry. They think she will be in the future and are encouraging me to stick it out. What would you do if you were me? Should I stay after being rejected? Is it worth it?"See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So in today's episode, Mark is interviewing Paul Bauer of the "Come On Man” podcast where they discuss how hypergamy works in detail, and explain how you can retain your girl by leveraging women's nature and using it to your advantage.

On this episode, Sadie and Gavri'el discuss various scandals surrounding Jerry Falwell's ministry and Liberty University, as well as the pool boy scandal that prompted the Falwell family's departure from leadership of Liberty University.TW: In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear. In most episodes we'll mention at least a few of these topics, but we try very hard to avoid graphic detail unless it's relevant to the story we're telling, and we do our best to give the audience a heads-up before going into detail on any of these topics. This episode will cover racism, homophobia, and campus sexual assault, handled in a typically bad way, as fundie universities tend to do, by betraying the students who were victimized and protecting their assailants. This episode also covers a sordid affair which many of you probably already knows the details of. We won't be kink shaming, but we will be picking apart the many ways in which this affair wasn't as consensual as it may appear.
