This week, the party dusts off ancient tombs and unearths long-forgotten scrolls hidden deep within Stonehall. What begins as simple research soon stirs echoes of the past—because when has digging into ancient secrets ever gone smoothly? Surely nothing dangerous has ever come from a little light reading… right?

Listen to the full podcast: https://bit.ly/SKMPRIDLEYIn this episode, I sit down with Austin comedian Michael Ridley to talk about what it really means to bet on yourself in a culture that feels like it's collapsing into content and chaos. We get into everything — modern warfare as entertainment, prediction markets vs. AI, gambling ads and moral tradeoffs in podcasting, corporate influence behind the scenes, and why so many young men feel stuck between nihilism and virality but at its core, this conversation is about asking better questions and choosing long-term growth over short-term clout. Michael opens up about his journey from addiction and instability to building a life anchored in comedy, marriage, and radical self-belief, and we unpack what it took to move to Austin with no guarantees, grind through multiple jobs while chasing stage time, get banned and level up anyway, and listen to “the whispers” that intuitive pull toward who you're meant to become. This one is about loyalty, resilience, faith, and playing the 20-year game in art and in life.Follow Michael:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ridleysweatyX: https://x.com/ridleysweatyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MichaelRidleyComedy00:00 Introduction04:27 Nothing Better Than a Free Civic07:10 Why There Are No Original Movies Right Now12:21 What Happened to Movie Boobs?14:20 Being Nihilistic Is Gay22:55 Don't Even Think About Selling Weed26:13 Temu Twitter27:24 Raised by Hot Pockets and Cartoon Network29:56 The DMZ of Mental Disability32:01 Making Yourself Useful in Jail35:22 Michael's Superpowers42:33 Healing People with Beyblades46:24 Skank Walking to Six Flags50:16 The Last Time Michael Was in a Tatami Room56:02 Clockwork Orange Out of Context58:54 How “They” Control the Housing Market01:04:46 The January 6th No One Talks About01:08:20 The Government Has Microwave Guns01:17:15 MJ, Kanye, and Industry Power Plays01:26:00 ConclusionListen to the complete episodes of Sky King's Mental Playground, sign up at skmp.supercast.comFollow Sky on XSubscribe on YouTubeFollow Sky on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

This week, the party delves into the legacy of King Taargick, hoping to uncover key details about his reign and deeds. With Krohan still needing the blessing of the ancient ancestors, time is running short—and the stakes are high. Here's hoping their research turns up something useful… before the ancestors make up their minds.

Listen to the full podcast: https://bit.ly/SKMPGODSEYIn this episode, Erick Godsey joins me for a deep dive into visionary art, psychosis, and the collective unconscious. From Neuromancer to late-80s Japanese anime, from Neon Genesis Evangelion to Annihilation, we unpack how art sometimes predicts technological transformation before society can consciously name it. We also get into what Erick calls “The Shimmer” a mythic frame for understanding the psychological field created by the internet and AI. We talk about algorithmic polarization, attention hijacking, AI agents replicating human identity, and whether we're living through the beginning of a renaissance or a cognitive collapse. This conversation is about myth, madness, technology, and whether we can consciously navigate the flood instead of being consumed by it.Follow Erick:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/erickgodsey/X: https://x.com/ErickGodseyWebsite: https://www.erickgodsey.com/00:00 Introduction00:19 Visionary Art and 90s Anime01:52 Surrealism and Cultural Breakdowns04:38 How Tech Is Shaping Us12:44 Phones, Attention, and Community15:54 Why Horror Actually Matters21:14 “The Shimmer” and Tech Nightmares35:29 Building Something New42:57 Listen to the Full Episode in SupercastListen to the complete episodes of Sky King's Mental Playground, sign up at skmp.supercast.comFollow Sky on XSubscribe on YouTubeFollow Sky on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

Is he really…? He really is. After everything the party's done to keep Krohan's identity under wraps, he's just going to walk right up to Bulgra and strike up a casual conversation. No plan. No warning. The mood of the festival is about to take a major turn—and not the fun kind.

With the boffer brawl in the rearview, the party shifts their focus to Bulgra. Hopefully, she finds their retelling of the harrowing voyage to Guldrege just as entertaining as you, the listener.

Listen to the full podcast: https://bit.ly/SKMPJAMESIn this episode, Abel James joins us for a deep and unfiltered conversation about recovery, resilience, and staying human in an increasingly automated world. Abel opens up about surviving a brutal car accident, navigating long-term physical and neurological recovery, and what it forced him to relearn about health, patience, and adaptive capacity. We explore why modern systems often fail people when they're most vulnerable and how community, preparation, and personal responsibility can make the difference between breaking down and rebuilding stronger. We also discuss music as a healing practice, why art must come from effort not automation, and how subtraction may be the key to a better future. This is a grounded, thoughtful exploration of survival, meaning, and building a life that's resilient to chaos.Follow Abel:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abeljams/X: https://x.com/AbelJamesWebsite: https://app.abeljames.com/00:00 Introduction02:10 The Car Accident and Near-Death Moment06:15 Recovery Reality and Trusting the Body10:05 Fear of Hospitals and Modern Medicine14:20 Community Showing Up When It Matters18:45 Why the Internet Feels Broken23:30 AI Slop vs Real Human Thought28:40 Attention Hijacking and Algorithm Incentives34:10 Music as Therapy and Regulation45:20 Movement Balance and Relearning the Body49:01 Listen to the Full Episode in SupercastListen to the complete episodes of Sky King's Mental Playground, sign up at skmp.supercast.comFollow Sky on XSubscribe on YouTubeFollow Sky on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

This week, the party heads to a fan-favorite event of the Family Festival: the grand battle reenactment. It's all just harmless fun—a big, chaotic boffer brawl meant to entertain the crowds. What could possibly go wrong? (Spoiler: you already know the answer.)

Listen to the full podcast: https://bit.ly/SKMPTELANDERIn this episode, Zack Telander joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about art, music, discipline, and staying human in an algorithmic world. Zack breaks down what it really takes to build a creative career without selling out from playing empty rooms to opening for packed theaters1 and why impostor syndrome never fully disappears, even when you're doing everything right. Along the way, Zack performs original songs live, breaks down his songwriting process, talks fatherhood, discipline, and why art must be fought for not optimized.Follow Zack:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zack_telander/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@zacktelander00:00 Introduction00:44 The Reality of Being a Musician02:21 Passion vs. Paying the Bills04:27 How the Music Industry Actually Works06:38 Fame, Attention, and Staying Real09:40 Social Media's Grip on Creativity17:24 AI, Algorithms, and What's Coming Next30:52 Connecting With Fans31:51 Juggling Content and Music32:19 Building Real Fans, Not Just Views35:35 How the Songs Come Together51:37 Music Theory (Without the Boring Parts)57:10 Art, Emotion, and the Audience01:05:03 The Myth of “Going All In”01:10:07 Why Effort Shows in Art01:12:01 Consistency Beats Motivation01:16:02 Sponsors, Money, and Staying Honest01:27:10 How Algorithms Shape Behavior01:30:57 ConclusionListen to the complete episodes of Sky King's Mental Playground, sign up at skmp.supercast.comFollow Sky on XSubscribe on YouTubeFollow Sky on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

This week, the party keeps the good vibes rolling as the Family Festival reaches full swing. With music in the air and the dance floor calling, they do their best to impress—especially one elusive introvert named Rosha. Let's hope their moves speak louder than words.

This week, the party continues their charm offensive—earning the favor of key figures Krohan flagged as potential allies. Between conversations and carefully chosen words, there's also time to indulge in some long-forgotten historical dishes. Politics and pastries? Sounds like a Highhelm kind of day.

Caleb @BirdRespecter (Kill The Computer, 60 Minute Drill) joins Brian and Josh to tell the story of Richard “Beebo” Russell, a man who walked off his job as a baggage handler at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport one day in 2018 to steal an airplane. Russell and his ill-fated flight quickly became a cause célèbre among some of the darkest corners of the internet, continuing to this day. This episode tries to figure out how and why that happened.

At long last, the Family Festival is underway! The lights are bright, the crowd is buzzing, and the stage is set for celebration—or catastrophe. One thing's for certain: the party is bound to leave their mark. But will they be met with cheers… or jeers?

Christmas-ish content from a never-ending Fall in Salt Lake City. Josh has a birthday and Omega becomes the topic. Will the new Planet Ocean be a favorite? The guys discuss the science of the Rocky movies and what makes the re-release work.

This week, the party finally returns to Highhelm—just in time to catch their breath before the family festival begins. With a day to spare, Krohan sets out to do some quiet information gathering, hoping to learn more about the festival's guest list. When he returns, he brings word of four individuals who might prove useful in solving the party's current... predicament. But not all news is good news—Krohan also warns of one guest they'd be wise not to cross.

Christmas-ish content from a never-ending Fall in Salt Lake City. Josh has a birthday and Omega becomes the topic. Will the new Planet Ocean be a favorite? The guys discuss the science of the Rocky movies and what makes the re-release work.

A little after 7:30 p.m. on August 10, 2018, 28 year old Richard "Beebo" Russell was a couple hours into his work shift as a ground service agent for Horizon Air at the Seattle-Tacoma Airport when he inexplicably got into an airplane tug, moved an Alaskan Airline Bombardier Q400 from where it was parked for the night onto a runway, he turned and lined it up as if it were getting ready to take off...and he jumped on board by himself, started the plane and took off on what would be the most significant security breach with a domestic airline since 9/11.  What happened to Beebo Russell and why would he do something so drastic knowing he wouldn't be able to land it?  Music from FMA by Blue Dot Sessions entitled "Deeps Highway"SOURCES:https://allthatsinteresting.com/richard-russellhttps://skyk.ing/transcripthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Horizon_Air_Bombardier_Q400_incidenthttps://www.thestranger.com/guest-editorial/2018/08/17/30824665/i-worked-with-richard-russell-at-horizon-air-and-i-understand-why-he-did-what-he-didhttps://an.aero/how-to-become-a-ground-agent/https://nypost.com/2018/08/13/remains-found-on-island-where-suicidal-plane-thief-crash-landed/LINKS:Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/killaforniapodPayPal:  https://www.paypal.coCashm/paypalme/killaforniapodMerchandise:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.threadless.com/Website:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KillaforniaDreamingPodcastFacebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1296620370450345/Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/killaforniadreamingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/killaforniadreamingpod/?hl=enX:  https://twitter.com/killaforniapodEmail:  killaforniapod@gmail.comTikTok:  @killaforniadreamingpod Cash App:  $KDpodcastSupport the show

In Part 2 of our Chapter 2 Recap, the party takes a breath (finally) to reflect on the chaos of Guldrege. From favorite fights to funniest failures, emotional turning points to MVP-worthy moments, the group looks back on what changed, what scarred, and what still lingers in the minds of their characters. Expect revelations, inside jokes, and just enough foreshadowing to keep you guessing.

Join us this week as we dive into some of the most unforgettable moments from Chapter 2. From crumbling ruins to questionable deals, it's all on the table. In Part 1, we get down and dirty revisiting the gritty chaos that defined the Guldrege arc.

This week, the party throws everything they've got into a final stand against the Stone Maker. Exhausted, bloodied, and out of options, they fight to keep Guldrege from falling any further. But will their strength be enough… or will they become just another stone in the ruins?

This week, the party presses deeper into the Xulgath encampment, continuing their full-scale assault. Their next target? The mysterious Stone Maker. And while the name alone sounds bad enough, given the party's usual luck... it's probably way worse than it sounds.

This week, the party strikes a deal with Tsaal—then immediately turns around and brokers another with a mimic. That's two shady agreements in one dark hallway. What could possibly go wrong? With all this wheeling and dealing, it's only a matter of time before something explodes… probably metaphorically. Hopefully.

En este nuevo episodio de Noctámbulos exploramos dos historias tan increíbles como inquietantes. Primero, revisamos el caso del llamado “Sky King”, un suceso que dejó perplejos a los expertos en aviación y que sigue despertando debate por las últimas palabras y decisiones de su protagonista. Después, viajamos al extraño y fascinante Principado de Sealand, una micronación en medio del mar con una historia tan surrealista que parece sacada de una novela.

This week, the party leaps straight from a cockroach nightmare into the waiting arms—well, tentacles—of a pack of chokers. Fungie can feel his throat tightening just looking at them. From skittering shells to strangling shadows, Guldrege really isn't letting up.

Man, Guldrege has been nothing but non-stop chaos—battle after battle with barely a moment to breathe. And now? Giant cockroaches. Seriously. Giant. Cockroaches. Just when the party thought things couldn't get any worse… the city proves them wrong. Again.

This week, the party experiences something truly surreal—an out-of-body journey that reveals the grim fate of Guldrege from a whole new perspective. As ghostly memories flicker to life, one detail stands out: was that an Avernian Worm... speaking Dwarven?

This week, the party picks up mid-battle against a squad of relentless clockwork spies. But amidst the clash of gears and sparks, a strange ticking sound grows louder. Something's counting down—and it's not just the initiative order. Get ready… it's gonna blow.

This week, the party continues their latest round of breaking and entering—but this home isn't going down without a fight. From walls that whisper to plants with a mean streak, even the greenery seems eager to kick them out. Some houses just don't like guests.

This week, the party's back at it—breaking into homes and taking down the unfortunate souls inside. But this time, their usual chaos meets an unexpected defense: the terrifying power of hiding under the covers. Turns out, bedtime isn't always safe.
