Podcasts about pro skater

This week we're joined by video game music expert Matt Ombler, head of music and gaming partnerships at Laced, to explore the incredible world of game soundtracks, from Sonic on the Mega Drive and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater shaping a generation's music taste, to Wipeout, Halo 2, retro sound chips, vinyl reissues and the growing importance of preserving game music history. Matt also shares stories from his journalism days interviewing legends like Nile Rodgers and Nobuo Uematsu, plus how he helped bring metal heavyweights including Howard Jones, Trivium and Polyphia into Cult of the Lamb's Hymns of the Unholy project.   Laced Records: https://www.lacedrecords.com/Contents:00:00 – The Week's Retro News Stories46:30 – Matt Ombler InterviewPlease visit our amazing sponsors and help to support the show:Bitmap Books – https://www.bitmapbooks.comCheck out PCBWay at https://pcbway.com for all your PCB needsPlayEXPO Blackpool tickets: https://www.playexpoblackpool.com/We need your help to ensure the future of the podcast, if you'd like to help us with running costs, equipment and hosting, please consider supporting us on Patreon:https://theretrohour.com/support/https://www.patreon.com/retrohourJoin our Discord channel: https://discord.gg/GQw8qp8Website: http://theretrohour.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theretrohour/X: https://twitter.com/retrohourukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/retrohouruk/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theretrohour.comTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theretrohourShow notesSonic On ZX Spectrum Next: https://tinyurl.com/48fpsssyLegal Disc Ripping: https://tinyurl.com/2s4pufayVirtual OS Museum: https://tinyurl.com/2kz9r9awCastlevania Rondo of Blood On Mega Drive: https://tinyurl.com/3x8ukbxnAmiga CD32 ODE: https://tinyurl.com/3p93uuamFinal Fantasy XVI Demake: https://tinyurl.com/5yxeu5yp

Skateboardpodden kidnappade Per Welinder i en vit bil och pratade: Om att skata freestyle på tunnelbanestationen Stadion på det sena 70-talet och om discoduck-damen som alltid ringer snuten. Om att vara sponsrad av GB-glass. Om när Stacy Peralta kommer till Sverige och får se svenska åkare och blir imponerad. Om att komma till USA för första gången och tävla i Oasis-skateparken och det går sådär. Om att Stacy Peralta helst inte ville ha slashasar när han plockade ihop Powell-teamet. Om Future Primitive och Ban This. Om att skriva brev på sin Commodore 64 och skicka det till USA-chefen för Swatch så att Swatch ger sig in i skateboardvärlden. Om att vara stuntdubbel till Michael J Fox i Tillbaka till framtiden. Om att vara den enda som vunnit över Rodney Mullen i en tävling. Om att spela sig själv i Thrashin'. ”Helt otroligt man!” Om att starta Birdhouse tillsammans med Tony Hawk och The Firm med Lance Mountain. Om att vara med och skapa Tony Hawk's Pro Skater till Playstation. Om att starta Go Skateboarding Day. Om att freestyle försvann men nördarna tog revansch genom att ta över branschen. Och om mycket annat.

Vous n'aviez pas les sous pour la version next-gen ? Pas de panique. Il existe tout un monde parallèle où vos jeux préférés tournaient sur la console d'en dessous, sur la portable du petit frère, ou sur un PC qui avait clairement pas demandé ça. Parfois c'était brillant. Parfois c'était une catastrophe industrielle. Mais ça avait toujours une personnalité. Bienvenue dans les sous-versions. Mugen assume l'intro low cost, Ace Bunny crashe en direct avant de revenir ("je suis la photocopie d'une photocopie"), Brad, Pedro et HKR arrivent avec leurs sélections — et une règle maison : les jeux PC portés sur console comptent aussi, sinon HKR n'a rien à dire. Au programme : Pedro - Unreal Tournament 99 (PS2 & Dreamcast) Le fast FPS fondateur porté sur deux consoles qui n'avaient aucune raison de l'accueillir. La version Dreamcast tourne sous Windows CE à 50-60fps et se rapproche du PC medium/high, mais split-screen local uniquement, souris à 120€, mode Assaut absent. La version PS2 descend à 25fps mais gagne deux sticks et le clavier-souris USB. L'argument imparable des deux : jouer à 4 en split-screen dans son salon en Unreal Tournament. Brad vs Ace Bunny - Forza Horizon 2 (Xbox 360) Même jeu, deux avis opposés. Brad présente le naufrage : physique bancale, voitures qui tombent à travers le sol, monde ouvert tronqué. Ace défend Sumo Digital (le studio britannique sorti des cendres de Gremlin Interactive) qui, conscient de ses limites, a redessiné les événements de fond en comble : des circuits là où la version One faisait du off-road, des courses contre des avions et des bateaux. Verdict partagé : une sous-version honnête, et au moins elle est jouable (contrairement à Arab Drift Cars). Hkr - Anno : Create a New World (Wii) Après un historique complet de la licence (1602, 1503, 1701, 1404), HKR présente la version Wii de 2010, développée spécifiquement pour la console et pas un simple portage. Objectifs progressifs, Wiimote qui fonctionne étonnamment bien, DA colorée et accessible. Moins de profondeur que le PC, chaînes de production simplifiées, pas de sandbox, mais une porte d'entrée réussie pour un public console qui n'aurait jamais touché à l'original. Une sous-version dans le bon sens du terme. Mugen - MediEvil Resurrection (PSP) La transgression assumée : techniquement supérieure à l'original PS1, et pourtant c'est une sous-version artistique. Du gothique Tim Burton, on passe au cartoon années 2000 avec un sidekick insupportable et des vannes Britney Spears dans toutes les langues du jeu. Mais les niveaux sont redessinés intelligemment, l'essence du gameplay est là, et c'était le premier jeu PSP de Mugen, couru acheter en boutique au sens propre. Pedro - Medal of Honor Underground (GBA) Le fond du fond. Deux frames par seconde. Des soldats représentés par des traits de pixels parfois non codés (ils ne bougent pas). De la pelouse en intérieur, un chapitre manquant, des murs remplacés par des carrés noirs. Pedro l'a fini jusqu'au bout pour vivre "la sensation de perte de temps ultime". Déconseillé. À tester quand même si vous avez l'âme d'un guerrier. Ace Bunny - WWE 2K18 (Switch) Le pire portage de la Switch. Développé par Blind Squirrel Games (ça s'explique). Pub de lancement sans une seule image du jeu. Résultat à regarder les yeux fermés. Brad - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (GBA) La bonne surprise. Vue 2D isométrique, 60fps constants, 13 pros plus Spider-Man, BO recomposée en chiptune par Manfred Linzner sur moteur GAX. C'est excellent. L'essence du gameplay est préservée, manette en main. Une des meilleures sous-versions de l'histoire de la GBA, déclinée sur sept opus de la saga par Vicarious Visions. HKR - Street Fighter 2 : The World Warrior (MS-DOS) Un traumatisme d'enfance. SF2 sorti en 1995 sur MS-DOS, quatre ans après l'arcade, alors que Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo existait déjà. Framerate catastrophique, quatre musiques en boucle pour tout le jeu, Blanca avec une sale gueule encore pire que dans l'original. Et un mapping clavier qui a oublié que Street Fighter repose sur des quarts de cercle : pas de diagonales, les combos deviennent une expérience mystique. HKR l'a relancé pour l'émission. Il le regrette. Tellement raté que c'en est fascinant. Mugen - Rayman Advance (GBA) Jeu de lancement de la GBA en juin 2001, portage de la version PlayStation par Digital Eclipse. Tout le contenu y est, les graphismes sont magnifiques, les mécaniques préservées. Sauf les musiques, unanimement catastrophiques : l'équipe recommande de lancer un podcast à côté dès le premier niveau. Sur le fond, c'est Rayman : un platformer brillant et affreusement difficile, avec des cages cachées que seule une combinaison de sauts, plané et grappin permet d'atteindre. Mugen l'a poncé à l'époque, malgré les oreilles. Name dropping collectif : Metal Gear Solid PC, FF7 et FF8 PC, Ratatouille PSP, Gran Turismo PSP, Dead Space Extraction Wii, Dead Rising Chop Till You Drop, Batman Arkham sur Switch, Soul Calibur 2 sur PS2, Rise of the Tomb Raider 360, Tony Hawk sur GBA, Les Sims sur GBA, King Kong sur DS, Ghostbusters Wii, Prince of Persia Les Sables du Temps GBA… Jeux évoqués : Unreal Tournament 99 (PS2, Dreamcast), Forza Horizon 2 (Xbox 360), MediEvil Resurrection (PSP), Medal of Honor Underground (GBA), WWE 2K18 (Switch), Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (GBA), Metal Gear Solid (PC), Final Fantasy VII & VIII (PC), Ratatouille (PSP), Gran Turismo (PSP), Dead Space Extraction (Wii), Dead Rising Chop Till You Drop (Wii), Soul Calibur 2 (PS2), Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox 360), Prince of Persia Les Sables Oubliés (Wii), Dragon Quest XI (3DS), Hogwarts Legacy (Switch), King Kong (DS) Intervenants : Mugen, Ace Bunny, Brad, Pedro, HKRMontage et mixage : Ace_BunnyTechnique, diffusion et hébergement : Mugen_Pascal

En este episodio de El arte del negocio musical analizamos cómo los videojuegos se han convertido en uno de los grandes espacios de descubrimiento musical de las últimas décadas. De FIFA a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, de Final Fantasy a The Last of Us, exploramos por qué una canción escuchada mientras jugamos puede quedarse grabada en la memoria durante años y convertirse en parte de la cultura popular.Hablamos del poder emocional de las bandas sonoras originales, del valor del sync licenciado en videojuegos y de cómo ciertos títulos han funcionado como auténticas plataformas de prescripción musical antes incluso de que las playlists dominaran el consumo. Además, aterrizamos la oportunidad actual para artistas, managers, sellos y catálogos: el videojuego indie como nuevo territorio de sincronización musical, menos saturado que el cine, la televisión o la publicidad, y especialmente abierto a sonidos con personalidad.Un episodio sobre música, videojuegos, memoria, sync, licencias y oportunidades de negocio para una industria musical que quizá debería mirar menos solo a Netflix y más al próximo juego capaz de marcar a una generación.

A legend, point blank period. Tony Hawk brought skateboarding to the mainstream, defined the sport, and made it accessible to thousands of kids through his charity work. And, not to mention, he stars in one of the most successful gaming franchises of all time (Tony Hawk's Pro Skater). Tony takes Dan through his upbringing, from being a hyperactive kid who just needed to get his energy out, to becoming one of the best skateboarders alive when he was only a teenager. He also explains what it was like when skating fell out of vogue in the 90s and he fell on tough times… and then boomed back into popularity a few years later. Dan also gets a rundown of all Tony's injuries over his entire career - including the worst one, a broken pelvis. They also talk about aging and finding joy in a body that doesn't work quite the way it used to. For the latest on Tony's foundation, The Skatepark Project, and his upcoming competition, Tony Hawk's Vert Alert, this summer in Utah, go to TonyHawk.com Learn more about your ad choices.

The internet woke up in full panic mode after Instagram launched a massive bot purge that vaporized millions of followers from celebrities, influencers, and probably your cousin who suddenly became a “fitness entrepreneur” during the pandemic. Kylie Jenner lost 14 million followers in a blink, and suddenly everybody online started acting like follower counts never mattered anyway. Sure, Jan.The gang dives into the chaos of fake followers disappearing, why advertisers are finally cracking down, and how even normal accounts can tell when the bots get exterminated. It's basically robot Hunger Games happening quietly in the background of social media while everybody keeps posting blurry vacation photos and motivational quotes stolen from Pinterest.Then somehow the conversation turns into Angry Birds officially entering the Video Game Hall of Fame. Yes. Angry Birds. The little phone game that destroyed productivity in offices across America is now standing next to gaming legends like Doom and Oregon Trail. The crew debates what games deserve Hall of Fame status, why Guitar Hero absolutely got robbed, and how Tony Hawk's Pro Skater soundtracks basically raised an entire generation of emotionally confused skateboard kids.There's also a deep dive into concert experiences at the Sphere in Las Vegas, including No Doubt, Metallica, Tool, and the realization that Tool might actually be the perfect Sphere band because nobody in Tool has ever looked interested in being on stage anyway. The visual effects do the heavy lifting while the audience collectively melts into a psychedelic lava lamp.Moon talks about how video games became one of the biggest discovery tools for music, including stories about Story of the Year songs unexpectedly blowing up after landing in racing games and MLB titles. If you ever found your favorite band because you crashed fake cars in Need for Speed, congratulations — you were part of history.Also in this episode:Jamie Pressly joins OnlyFans and keeps things just vague enough to make everybody suspiciousJerry Seinfeld claims Friends was basically just “Seinfeld with attractive people”Robin Williams stories from the set of Mrs. DoubtfireThe return of KISS… sort ofMini KISS somehow still thriving in 2026David Attenborough turning 100 years old because apparently nature documentaries grant immortalityThe best TV moms of all time according to the internetMortal Kombat reviewsStreaming habits of Gen ZBeat Saber obsessionCelebrity birthdaysAbsolute nonsense from beginning to endThis funny podcast from St. Louis continues doing what it does best: turning weird news, celebrity gossip, gaming nostalgia, and random debates into complete morning-show chaos. Whether you're here for the sarcastic humor, the pop culture commentary, or just to hear grown adults passionately discuss Angry Birds like it belongs in the Smithsonian, this comedy podcast has you covered.If you love a funny morning show packed with entertainment gossip, fail stories, celebrity news, weird internet culture, and daily humor, welcome home.

You know it's gonna be a weird day when the show opens with Rizz realizing his daughter's cheer banquet wasn't “folding chairs and sheet cake” but instead a full-on country club gala requiring a suit, tie, speeches, awards, emotional endurance, and apparently enough rubber chicken to bankrupt a catering company. Nothing says “supportive father” like sitting through four straight hours of banquet politics while pretending not to judge the speeches in your head.From there, the gang dives straight into the viral Busch Stadium incident where fans had to physically stop a guy from potentially falling from the upper deck. The discussion somehow turns into a complete breakdown of dangerous stadium seating, ballpark netting, drunk fan physics, and why Moon believes geese and gravity are America's greatest threats. Which honestly? Fair.Speaking of geese… apparently St. Louis now belongs to them. The crew discusses the annual return of Canada geese nesting season, why those feathered psychopaths become hyper-aggressive this time of year, and how entire college campuses basically surrender to goose gangs every spring. There's talk of fake coyotes, migratory bird treaties, goose chases, and the emotional humiliation of running from an animal that looks like it pays taxes.And because this is somehow still not enough chaos for one funny podcast, the conversation shifts to Yellowstone bear attacks, Mother's Day pressure, and the discovery that Father's Day is mostly just a yearly reminder of unresolved family trauma. Rafe perfectly explains why Father's Day social media posts always feel like passive-aggressive therapy sessions while Mother's Day gets treated like a national holiday requiring military-level planning.Meanwhile, King Scott prepares for his first Mother's Day with a pregnant wife, Moon contemplates fleeing town entirely to avoid gift expectations, and Rizz introduces “The Ralph Rule,” which may or may not destroy families nationwide. Add in deadbeat parents losing passports over unpaid child support, brunch recommendations turning into food obsession, and several near-death stories involving stadium upper decks, and you've got another completely normal day for The Rizzuto Show.This funny podcast continues doing what it does best: mixing weird news, sports chaos, parenting struggles, sarcastic commentary, celebrity-level overreactions, and St. Louis nonsense into one giant comedy blender. Whether you're here for the goose warfare, the Busch Stadium insanity, or the emotional collapse surrounding Mother's Day reservations, this episode delivers the exact kind of daily comedy disaster fans expect from The Rizzuto Show.The internet woke up in full panic mode after Instagram launched a massive bot purge that vaporized millions of followers from celebrities, influencers, and probably your cousin who suddenly became a “fitness entrepreneur” during the pandemic.

If you ever found your favorite band because you crashed fake cars in Need for Speed, congratulations — you were part of history.This might genuinely be one of the greatest confidence scams ever attempted: a French professor allegedly invents an entire prestigious academic award, buys himself a medal, gathers actual respected intellectuals, and somehow convinces everyone he's basically the LeBron James of language studies. Honestly? Kind of inspirational. The gang immediately realizes that most awards are basically made up anyway, which quickly escalates into creating fake international honors like “The Grand Cross of the Order of the Toasted Ravioli.” Because if you say anything confidently enough with enough gold trim attached to it, people will apparently clap.From there, the show takes a hard left directly into psychological warfare after King Scott introduces one of the most cursed “Would You Rather?” questions in show history: permanent Cheeto fingers… or taste buds in your butt. Yes. Really. The discussion somehow gets worse when Rafe introduces the horrifying concept of “the second tasting,” permanently ruining food, digestion, and probably several listeners' lunch breaks. It's the kind of conversation that could only happen on a daily comedy show powered entirely by sleep deprivation, bad decisions, and unchecked access to microphones.Rafe's E-Memoriam segment also delivers pure chaos this week. The crew says goodbye to Ask Jeeves, the once-beloved internet butler who politely helped people search embarrassing questions before Google became the all-knowing digital overlord living inside everyone's phones. The nostalgia spiral includes Geocities, LimeWire, Rotten Dot Com, terrible internet decisions, and the realization that the early internet somehow survived entirely on flashing skull gifs and confusion.Meanwhile, Rafe continues his quest toward honorary membership in the Blackfoot Nation, which now involves fingerprinting, Canadian bureaucracy, Wayne Gretzky references, and an unexpectedly spiritual trip to a UPS Store kiosk. What should have been a simple government process becomes an epic fantasy journey involving sacred scanners, sweaty palms, and “Hakuna Moscato” novelty packing tape. It's impossible to explain properly because this daily comedy show exists in a dimension where every normal story mutates into folklore by segment three.The episode wraps with real RIPs including Alex Ligertwood from Santana and media giant Ted Turner, proving The Rizzuto Show can somehow balance heartfelt moments alongside conversations about whether your butthole could identify ranch seasoning.If you love comedy podcasts, funny stories, weird news, sarcastic humor, pop culture commentary, St. Louis radio chaos, and hearing grown adults emotionally unravel in real time, this episode delivers everything you could possibly want from a daily comedy show… and several things you absolutely did not ask for.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Scary Scenes Emerge as Cardinals Fan Hangs Off Upper Deck Ledge, Major Accident AvertedCanada geese arrive in St. Louis for nesting season15-year-old, 28-year-old attacked by mother grizzly with cubs in Yellowstone National ParkUS will start revoking passports for thousands of parents who owe child support‘Angry Birds', ‘Silent Hill' and ‘FIFA' added to World Video Game Hall Of FameFrench professor facing probe for creating fake Nobel-style prize - only to award it to himselfMan, 34, Arrested For DWI (Droning While Intoxicated)Tampa officers find beer can in 'Happy Meal' during DUI investigation'Huff and puff and blow his house down': Woman burns down boyfriend's house because she was 'p—ed off' he stole from herTeens drive lawn mower into Target as part of social media stuntGroom arrested moments before wedding for failing to disclose he was registered pedophileSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"Teen angst doesn't go away just because you get older. I think as an adult, you have less and less ways to relieve that stress of everyday life."   Multi-platinum artist Bryce Vine might be known for massive hip-hop crossover hits, but his musical DNA is pure Warped Tour.   Multi-platinum artist Bryce Vine might be known for massive hip-hop crossover hits, but his musical DNA is pure Warped Tour. From hunting down Blink-182's Dude Ranch on the radio as a kid to obsessing over the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater soundtracks, Bryce has always been a scene kid at heart. He sits down with Lizzie to talk about blending those early pop-punk influences into his mainstream sound, navigating the reality of industry expectations, and what it's actually like collaborating with scene heavyweights like John Feldmann and Travis Barker. Looking ahead to summer, Bryce talks about his placement on the Warped Tour 2026 lineup and getting to play alongside legacy acts like Third Eye Blind and New Found Glory. Stick around after the interview as Brian and Lizzie unpack the modern festival landscape, debate the mixed online reactions to the recent Warped Tour announcements, and question whether today's scene artists still get unfairly pigeonholed by outdated genre expectations.    "Teen angst doesn't go away just because you get older. I think as an adult, you have less and less ways to relieve that stress of everyday life and the things that are going on in your head, and then you just end up overthinking." "There's a lot of pressure in the music industry... you kinda gotta consider it in a different way. So I really try to tell up and coming artists not to worry too much about that and just lead by example by putting out music because it's what makes me feel good." "I just wanna make dope s***, and I think my fans get that. So if it's a punk song this time, then they learn all the words because they're invested now." JOIN THE CLUB!

Get ready for another dynamic and laughter-filled episode of the Wise_N_Nerdy podcast, where Charles and Joe are joined by special guest Sanjay (@Spatizzle) from MoTEAvation Station. This episode blends music, gaming, fatherhood, and fandom into a conversation that's as relatable as it is entertaining. The episode kicks off with the Question of the Week: “What video game or movie changed your taste in music?” What follows is a nostalgic and energetic dive into the media that shaped the hosts' musical identities. From the high-octane eurobeat of Initial D to the emotional tracks of Inuyasha, the heavy intensity of Doom, and the iconic punk and rock soundtracks of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, the conversation highlights how deeply games and movies can influence our personal tastes. With the roll of the dice, the episode launches into the “What Are You Nerding Out About?” segment. Joe shares how he's been stepping up as the problem-solver in his own life—whether it's handling audio editing for a talent show or writing scripts at work to fix major issues. Charles continues his obsession with Slay the Spire II and the sci-fi movie Project Hail Mary, while Spatizzle brings a wholesome perspective, talking about how much he loves gaming alongside his wife—reminding everyone that shared hobbies can strengthen relationships in meaningful ways. The dice roll again and lead into the “Daddy, Tell Me A Story” segment, where Spatizzle sparks a fun and revealing discussion: What's the nerdiest thing you own? From detailed fictional weapon replicas to rare items from TV show sets and massive Steam game libraries, the hosts proudly embrace their fandoms and the collectibles that make them special. Of course, no episode would be complete without a dose of humor, and the crew delivers with a round of Bad Dad Jokes that are guaranteed to make you laugh… and groan in equal measure. Finally, the episode wraps up with the “Parliament of Papas” segment, where the hosts react to a shocking Reddit story about a parent seemingly more concerned about car damage than their child being in the ER. It sparks a deeper conversation about priorities, parenting values, and how we respond in moments of crisis. This episode is a perfect mix of humor, heart, and honest discussion—celebrating everything from music and gaming to family and personal growth. Whether you're here for the laughs, the insights, or the shared love of fandom, there's something for everyone. So join the conversation, embrace what you love, and don't forget to Find your FAMdom.

Step into another unforgettable episode of the Wise_N_Nerdy podcast with Charles and Joe—where laughter, life lessons, and a whole lot of nerd culture collide. The journey kicks off with the Question of the Week: “If you could have the soundtrack from any game or movie playing as your life's background music, which would you choose?” What follows is a fun and nostalgic deep dive into iconic soundtracks that could transform everyday life into something cinematic. From the peaceful, creative vibes of Minecraft, to the chaotic energy of Borderlands, the emotional melodies of August Rush, and the high-octane punk anthems of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, the hosts and listeners paint a vivid picture of what life would sound like with the perfect score. Then comes the roll of the dice—because no Wise_N_Nerdy episode is complete without a little randomness—and it lands on the “How Do I…?” segment. Here, Charles and Joe tackle a question every parent wrestles with: How do you raise independent kids without making them feel neglected? Through honest conversation and real-life experience, they break down the importance of balancing guidance with freedom—showing that encouragement, presence, and intentional support are the true keys to helping kids grow with confidence. But before things get too serious, the dice demand a tonal shift—enter the Bad Dad Jokes. Bob and Devocite unleash a rapid-fire barrage of groan-worthy puns and eye-roll-inducing punchlines. It's chaotic, it's cringey, and it's absolutely hilarious—the kind of humor that defines dad life at its finest. As the dice roll once more, we're treated to the “Parliament of Papas” segment, where Charles and Joe weigh in on a thought-provoking story pulled from Reddit. The scenario? A daycare worker gets fired for showing Veggie Tales to kids. What unfolds is a nuanced discussion about boundaries, values, and decision-making in parenting spaces—proving that sometimes the most unexpected topics lead to the most meaningful conversations. Next up, it's time for “What Are You Nerding Out About?”—a glimpse into what's currently fueling the hosts' passions. Charles shares his ongoing journey through the hustle lifestyle, including a new venture as a patient advocate, while Joe leans into what matters most: family. From binge-watching Solo Leveling with his kids to unplugging on a camping trip, Joe reminds us that sometimes the best “nerdy” moments are the ones spent together. Finally, the episode wraps with the always-entertaining “Daddy, Tell Me A Story” segment. Joe delivers a hilariously awkward tale from his middle school days involving a science teacher, a desk… and a very questionable wardrobe decision. It's the kind of story that sticks with you—equal parts bizarre and unforgettable. This episode is a perfect blend of humor, heart, and honest reflection—an invitation to laugh, learn, and maybe even see your own parenting journey a little differently. So whether you're here for the dad jokes, the deep conversations, or the shared love of fandom, there's something for everyone. Come be part of the community, embrace the chaos, and most importantly—Find your FAMdom. Wise_N_Nerdy: Where Fatherhood Meets Fandom Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mick West co-founded Neversoft Entertainment, programmed Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, retired from Activision in 2003, and then did something nobody has ever forensically examined: he built Morgellons Watch, a website dedicated to convincing the public that Morgellons disease is a delusion. He wrote over 100 articles under the pseudonym “Michael.” He edited the Wikipedia Morgellons article under a second pseudonym, “Herd of Swine,” while lobbying for his own site to be cited as a credible independent source. His Wikipedia account was flagged for sockpuppetry. The site accumulated roughly 12,000 comments from 88 registered users — an average engagement rate of 20+ comments per user — on a condition mainstream medicine had already dismissed.The site is still live in 2026. West says he lost interest around 2012.This episode applies the same forensic standards to the counter-narrative that Uninvestigated has applied to the Morgellons Research Foundation. If the MRF's IRS 990 filings, defense-connected board members, indicted grant recipient, and vanished 12,000-family patient registry warranted investigation, then the debunking apparatus that ran in parallel deserves identical scrutiny.Crystal examines the cost-benefit problem: why a financially independent retired programmer with no medical or scientific training sustained a complex content operation for years on a single niche medical condition. She maps the pseudonym architecture: “Michael” on Morgellons Watch, “Herd of Swine” on Wikipedia, Mick West everywhere else — three identities, three platforms, one narrative project. She traces the timeline convergence: Morgellons Watch launched in April 2006, the exact month Congressional pressure toward a CDC investigation reached critical mass. And she identifies the open forensic threads that have never been pursued: historical WHOIS domain registration records for morgellonswatch.com, cross-domain registrant comparison with contrailscience.com and metabunk.org, IP address hosting history, and Wikipedia edit pattern analysis.The episode also explores a remarkable synchronicity. West chose “Herd of Swine” from Mark 5 — the Gadarene demoniac narrative, where unclean spirits called “Legion” are cast into pigs that rush into the sea. Years later, independently and without knowledge of West's username, Crystal drew a parallel between the Gadarene story and the Morgellons patient experience: the afflicted person dismissed as mad, the community that prefers chains to healing, the testimony nobody wants to hear. West named himself after the destruction vehicle. Crystal found the story from the testimony side. Same scripture. Opposite characters.The episode closes with the 12,000 mirror: 12,000 families entered the MRF registry hoping their data would drive research. That registry was destroyed without public disclosure when the foundation dissolved in 2012. 12,000 comments accumulated on Morgellons Watch, a site engineered to ensure that anyone Googling their symptoms found dismissal before they found help. One apparatus collected testimony. The other buried it. Neither has been audited.Open investigative threads: WHOIS forensics on morgellonswatch.com domain registration and hosting history. Wayback Machine timeline analysis. Cross-domain infrastructure comparison. Wikipedia edit history audit for User:Herd of Swine. Comment metadata analysis including timestamp patterns and user registration clustering. Financial trail from Neversoft/Activision exit through Committee for Skeptical Inquiry fellowship.West built Morgellons Watch. Crystal built Westwatch. Somebody had to.

On this week's Big Hunt Guys podcast, Trail and Lorenzo sit down with professional skateboarder and hunting guide Geoff Rowley and Jake Franklin from Kika Worldwide Outfitters. Geoff walks through his story—from growing up skating in Liverpool, England to becoming one of the most influential street skaters ever—and how his path eventually led him into the world of hunting. The discussion dives into his passion for chasing bighorn sheep, guiding hunts, and the mindset that overlaps between skateboarding and mountain hunting. Jake and Geoff also recap the hunt for “Goliath”, which is one of the largest desert bighorn rams ever taken by Jason Hairston in 2017. Today's episode covers what might seem an unlikely intersection of skateboarding and hunting—but highlights the shared drive behind people and pursuits.Learn more about GOHUNT.Follow GOHUNT on Social Media:InstagramYouTube - Podcast ChannelYouTube - Main ChannelFacebook

A Note from James:Tony Hawk is one of the greatest athletes of all time—but what fascinates me most isn't just the tricks.It's the mindset.Tony didn't just become the best skateboarder in the world. He built an entire ecosystem around what he loved: competitions, companies, tours, sponsorships, and one of the most successful video game franchises ever created.What's interesting is that none of it was planned that way. It came from constant experimentation, falling—literally—and getting back up again.In this episode, Tony talks about the path to excellence, how he handled criticism and failure, the moment he finally landed the legendary 900 trick, and how skateboarding evolved from an underground subculture into a global industry.Episode Description:Tony Hawk didn't just change skateboarding—he helped transform it into a global cultural phenomenon.In this archival conversation, Tony shares the real story behind his career: learning to master fear, surviving the ups and downs of a niche sport, and eventually building a massive business empire around skateboarding.He explains how passion drove him through the lean years when skateboarding almost disappeared, why constant experimentation helped him stay at the top, and how a combination of timing, risk-taking, and creative control led to the success of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video game franchise.The conversation also explores the legendary moment when he landed the first successful 900, the importance of protecting your brand, and why mastery often comes from relentless curiosity rather than natural talent.What You'll Learn:Why pursuing passion—even during downturns—can create long-term successHow failure and repetition build elite skill in any disciplineWhy protecting your brand and intellectual control matters in businessHow the 900 trick became one of the most iconic moments in sports historyWhy continuous learning and experimentation are essential for staying relevantTimestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] The Physics of Skateboarding & Learning Through Failure[00:03:12] Introduction[00:03:38] Developing Air Awareness in Skateboarding[00:04:10] The First Time Going Airborne in a Pool[00:05:05] Learning How to Fall Safely[00:06:19] Aging, Risk & Walking Away from Mega Ramps[00:07:17] Skateboarding's Rebellious Origins[00:08:00] Creativity and Individual Style in Skate Culture[00:09:00] Advice for Pursuing Excellence[00:10:00] Learning Every Aspect of an Industry[00:11:35] Skateboarding's Collapse in the Early '90s[00:12:33] Becoming a Professional Skater[00:14:02] Mentorship from Stacy Peralta[00:15:13] Going Broke During Skateboarding's Down Years[00:16:29] Skating Parking Lot Shows for $100 a Day[00:17:31] The X Games and Skateboarding's Comeback[00:18:45] The Video Game That Changed Everything[00:19:31] When Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Became “The Game”[00:20:24] Lessons from Skateboarding Applied to Business[00:21:17] A Failed High-End Denim Business[00:22:43] Being Called a Sellout[00:24:00] Protecting Your Brand and Reputation[00:25:13] Creating Tony Hawk's Pro Skater[00:26:20] Designing the Game Mechanics[00:27:20] The Long Road to the 900[00:29:35] Landing the 900 at the X Games[00:31:08] Becoming Tony Hawk Inc.[00:32:21] The Importance of Total Immersion[00:33:29] Designing the Downward Spiral Ramp[00:35:24] Advice for Raising a Passionate Kid[00:38:12] Business Advice from Tony Hawk's Sister[00:40:29] Working with Family[00:43:04] Why Some Athletes Fade After Success[00:44:28] Clearing Up the 900 Controversy[00:48:00] The Hoverboard PrankAdditional Resources:Official Tony HawkTony Hawk's™ Pro Skater™ 3 + 4Bones Brigade: An AutobiographyRiley Hawk on InstagramSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mario Tennis, Xenoblade X, Denshattack, premios, industria y un debate caliente sobre PlayStation Semana intensa, episodio intenso. Y sí, lo avisamos: este 291 viene con celebración, análisis, memoria histórica del videojuego y un buen debate. Arrancamos con algo muy especial: Rejugando vuelve a ser elegido Mejor Podcast de Videojuegos, esta vez por votación popular en los premios Devuego. Un reconocimiento doble que llega tras otro galardón reciente y que confirma algo que repetimos mucho pero nunca sobra decir: esto existe porque estáis ahí escuchando cada jueves. También cae premio individual para RaffaValencia como mejor dirección de medio absoluto, algo que se vive dentro del equipo como una victoria colectiva tras más de una década grabando después del trabajo, sin patrocinadores y con pura pasión. Pero claro… aquí venimos a hablar de videojuegos. 🕊️ Despedida a una figura clave de SEGA El programa recuerda la figura de Hideaki Sato, ingeniero fundamental en la historia de Sega. Arquitecto técnico de consolas míticas y responsable de decisiones clave en la identidad hardware de la compañía, desde la época arcade hasta máquinas domésticas que marcaron generaciones. Un homenaje necesario a uno de esos nombres que no siempre salen en portada pero que explican por qué muchos estamos aquí hoy. 🎮 Bluepoint echa el cierre Los creadores de remakes gloriosos como Shadow of the colossus y Demons Souls bajan la persiana. 🏆 Premios, GOTY y fenómenos imparables Repaso también a la actualidad de premios internacionales donde ciertos títulos siguen acumulando galardones sin freno. El debate gira alrededor de cómo un gran éxito como Clair Obscur Expeditio 33 condiciona el futuro de un estudio: expectativas imposibles, presión creativa y el miedo a no poder repetir un fenómeno así. 🎾 Análisis — Mario Tennis Fever Raqueta en mano para analizar una propuesta directa, divertida y muy enfocada al multijugador. Sensaciones rápidas, accesible pero con matices competitivos que pueden enganchar más de lo que parece. Ideal para sesiones cortas… o para romper amistades. 🌌 Análisis — Xenoblade Chronicles X Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Uno de los grandes platos fuertes del episodio. Exploración masiva, filosofía JRPG y debate sobre cómo ha envejecido uno de los mundos abiertos más ambiciosos del género. Se habla de narrativa ambiental, escala, combate y de por qué sigue siendo un juego adelantado a su tiempo. 📡 Denshattack Frenetismo con tintes de Jet Set Radio, Pro Skater, SSX y un diseño fantastico 🎮 El gran debate: ¿para qué queremos otra PlayStation? La actualidad estalla con rumores sobre retrasos generacionales y decisiones empresariales. El equipo entra a fondo en el estado actual de Sony Interactive Entertainment y el futuro de la marca PlayStation: Falta de exclusivos realmente diferenciales. Estudios cerrados y apuestas fallidas por juegos como servicio. Usuarios que aún no ven motivos claros para saltar de generación. Y una pregunta incómoda: ¿está realmente exprimida PlayStation 5? Opiniones contundentes, experiencias personales y una conversación muy honesta sobre precios, PC consolizados y cómo ha cambiado la forma de jugar.

Jaren Grob, aka "The Monster" won two X Games Gold Medals, was featured on the cover of the Aggressive Inline video game, and had the world in the palm of his hands. Then his sport was iced out of X Games, went underground and Jaren's pro career went from contest winnings to skating shows. But, that's not what makes this one interesting. Jaren grew up poor, went on tour at 14, joined the circus, and made it in skating. 30 years later, he's still being paid to skate, but it's a different monster.

Part two of my Video Games I Finished in 2025 — Ranked is here!

Welcome to Episode 151 of Nintendo Therapy, the show where we break down the latest Nintendo news and rumors while celebrating everything that makes Nintendo… Nintendo.This week, we circle back to a few follow-ups from last episode — including a change of heart on the best remake (spoiler: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 rules), a closer look at Nintendo's very deliberate drip-feeding of Virtual Boy games on Nintendo Classics, and a deep dive into the increasingly questionable logic of Nintendo timelines. Kevin also lays out an ambitious goal for 2026: playing through the Metroid series in timeline order… assuming any of it actually happened.Meanwhile, Harrison brings a brand-new segment to the table: “Two Are Canon, One Is Fake.” No prep, no mercy, and a graphic already locked and loaded.Nintendo Therapy Podcast is part of the Sidepanel Network.

Stellt euch vor, ihr seid ein Dämon. Ihr habt Hunger und wollt den Mond verschlingen. Ihr seid nicht aus Fleisch und Blut, sondern aus Glas und Schmerz. Und: Ihr müsst skaten! Das Skateboard, die Fortbewegung, der Flow - das ist eure Existenz. Ihr seid sehr zerbrechlich, aber ihr könnt euch nicht gegen den Drang auf's Board zu steigen wehren.Oh, wow, was für eine Prämisse für ein Spiel! Skate Story macht von Anfang an klar: Diese Reise durch die Unterwelt ist mit nichts vergleichbar, was ihr vorher in anderen Titeln gesehen habt. Der großartige Soundtrack von Blood Cultures, der seltsame visuelle Stil irgendwo zwischen Glitch-Art und wildem Surrealismus, und generell der ständige Wechsel zwischen Philosophie und Dadaismus ... und das alles, während ihr Tricks ausführt? Wie gesagt: Wow!Gut sechs Jahre hat der in New York lebende Solo-Dev Sam Eng an seinem Spiel Skate Story gearbeitet. So intensiv, dass es zwischendurch zum Burnout geführt hat. Aber es ist eine sehr persönliche Vision und Geschichte, bei der Manu und Micha äußerst froh sind, sie erfahren zuhaben. Im Cast erklären sie, was Skate Story einzigartig macht - und weshalb Skate-Fans vielleicht trotzdem ihre Erwartungen zurückschrauben sollten. Hosted on Acast.

On this episode of The Zach Show, Mick West joins Zach to trace how modern conspiracies form from the Charlie Kirk assassination to UFO lore. They examine social media speed, projection of political fears, and AI's role in amplifying falsehoods such as Grok inventing quotes about the Kirk assassination. Mick shows why high-resolution footage often fails to stop speculation, how theories evolve like viruses, and why people prefer simple enemies. The conversation moves into an analysis of the recent 'Hellfire Missile Vs. UFO' video presented in Congress, parallax, thermal contrast, provenance problems, the rise of UFO cults, how misperception fools even the most experienced pilots, and more. Guest bio: Mick West is a science writer, debunker, and founder of Metabunk.org. Author of Escaping the Rabbit Hole, he specializes in unraveling conspiracy theories and UFO claims. A former video game programmer, Mick co-founded Neversoft and helped create Tony Hawk's Pro Skater before becoming the internet's go-to UFO skeptic. This is only the first half of the episode with Mick West.
