Podcast appearances and mentions of Sky King

This week, the party pulls out every trick up their sleeve—their ace in the hole, their rainy-day fund, and every last desperate gamble they've been saving for a moment just like this. But every victory comes at a cost. Will everyone make it out of this bakery-that-definitely-isn't-a-bakery alive? And when the dust finally settles... will Tuom Molegrade still be standing?

Listen to the full podcast: https://bit.ly/SKMPROBINSONWhat happens to a generation of American kids raised entirely on Japanese media once they're old enough to actually go there? Egan Robinson thinks we're carrying a "Japanese seed" inside us planted by Dragon Ball Z, Pokémon, and PlayStation and after three months living in Osaka, he came back convinced it's more real than a joke. We get into why nostalgia for a country you've never lived in might not be nostalgia at all, and why the conversation ends up somewhere near raw milk, seed oils, AI as modern-day demons, and the book series getting men reading again. This is a recap episode, a travel diary, and a two hour rabbit hole into why some people find a piece of themselves in a country they weren't born into.Follow Egan:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_eganism/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@egan_robinsonYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@eganrobinson00:59 Overstaying In Japan14:17 Ramen Over Sushi17:41 The Perfect Lunch Ritual26:08 Doramas For Japan30:49 Kansai Ben Explained34:09 Osaka Over Tokyo42:53 The Raw Milk Debate46:17 McDonald's, Somehow Fine51:33 Milk Vending Machines56:08 Cigarettes And Culture1:04:47 Dungeon Crawler Carl1:07:02 Me And Claude Are Boys1:09:07 AI As Demons1:13:57 Most Secular Age1:18:15 Pitching A Catholic Anime1:28:16 One Piece, Explained1:32:27 Bleach's Forgotten Legacy1:37:29 The Anime Starter PackListen 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 finds themselves on the wrong end of an absolute ass kicking. Bruised, bloodied, and running dangerously low on healing, they're pushed further than ever before. For the first time in the campaign, it genuinely looks like this could be the end of the road for our heroes. But hey... I'm sure they'll be fine. Right?

Listen to the full podcast: https://bit.ly/SKMPKAYLYNNAnime is not a niche hobby and it is definitely not “for kids" it's one of the sharpest storytelling engines on the planet. Kaylynn, aka Anime with KK, has built a career, a cosplay business, and a K-pop dance trio around proving that theory right, and today we put it to the test. We trace how a culture that got Hello Kittied after Hiroshima ended up exporting the biggest unifying force in youth culture worldwide, why the Jolly Roger from One Piece is showing up at protests across the globe, and why cosplay isn't costume play, it's identity work. Somewhere in the middle of arguing about Bleach, Sanji, and Usopp, we accidentally answer a much bigger question about why an entire generation needed somewhere else to go.Follow Kaylynn:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/animewithkk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@anime_kkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AnimewithKK00:38 How She Got Into Cosplay03:34 Anime As Escape05:15 Why Anime Gets So Heavy08:52 Cyberpunk Edgerunners In 10 Episodes10:02 Samurai Champloo & Watanabe24:04 Entering A New Timeline (Bleach)29:01 Zoro's Backstory Hooked Her31:14 WIT Studio Redoing One Piece34:22 Oda's Insane Work Schedule37:14 Art As A Response To Cultural Rupture39:00 Anime Gym Bros And Gym Girls42:30 The One Piece Bag Tag Story44:52 From Dance Class To Cosplay Trio47:56 "I'm An Otaku"Listen 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.

After cutting through every obstacle this "definitely just a bakery" had to throw at them, the party finally meets an opponent who refuses to go down quietly. For the first time in their adventure, they find themselves on the receiving end of a serious beating. Tuom Molegrade is proving to be far more dangerous than some run-of-the-mill counterfeiter, and the party is about to learn that dismantling her operation was the easy part.

Listen to the full podcast: https://bit.ly/SKMPWETI flew a plane through a thunderstorm when I was thirteen years old. My dad was asleep in the seat next to me, and all I wanted to do was get back to my Game Boy. That story is in here, and so is the story of losing him this year and how three guys who love you show up for that. This one's with the WET crew — Marcus, Justin, and Phil — the closest thing I have to a second podcast family, and we did what we always do: start with 2026 predictions, end up somewhere completely different. Grief, sobriety, growing up wealthy then broke, family alcoholism, and why business is the closest thing I have to art. We also talk about lookmaxxing streamers, the Genghis Khan gene, purchasing power parity, and enough unhinged tangents to make you forget we started with a squirrel attack. That's the show. It's chaos with a spine.

Chris Williamson is a podcaster, YouTuber, and Ex-Professional Party Boy. I am immensely grateful that Chris is on this earth. As a creator, I believe he is doing an insane amount to help young men make sense of the world, as a friend he has been a beautiful combination of exceedingly fun and seriously helpful in how I navigate my life, and as a hero and mentor he has been a guiding light in how to, as he eloquently puts it, “locally reverse entropy.” Doing this podcast has made me strive to be better, oh so much better, at my craft because his ability to clearly articulate thoughts is honestly astounding. I would put him in league with Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris. When we hang out I don't notice it, but in re-listening to this podcast, I have realized that everything he says could be a tweet thread.Chris has a reading list that includes the 100 most impactful books he has ever read. I can definitely vouch for almost all the books on this list.

This week, after what feels like an entire adventure spent fighting their way through the bakery-not-bakery, the party finally comes face to face with Tuom Molegrade. Having dismantled her operation one room at a time, they expect anger, threats, or outright violence. Instead, Tuom remains surprisingly calm, politely asking them to leave. But when someone stays that composed while watching their plans crumble around them, there's usually a lot more venom lurking beneath the courtesy.

Pipeman Radio chats with Melodic Death Metal Band Accursed, a 100% DIY outfit at the moment.Dave Lee started this 2017 shortly after moving back home to CT after 11 years in Arizona where he really cut his teeth playing in several metal bands over the years. Accursed is  a young band, honestly, not age wise generally speaking, Dave thinks he really skewed the average but they have a unique perspective you don't get a lot. They understand the struggles and they are  learning how to navigate a changing industry day by day like a lot of other musicians. An interesting thing to note might be the lyrical theme behind their most recent single. The song itself is based on Sky King, Richard "Bebo" Russell, and the Horizon Air incident of 2018. It's not so much a pastiche or allegory so much as an adaptation relayed through an artistic lens.

Listen to the full podcast: https://bit.ly/SKMPBEGLEYWhat if the thing killing creativity right now isn't talent or effort, but the simple fact that nobody has space to be bored anymore? Joe Begley and I start this one ranking the worst beers in America, what was supposed to be a loose, ridiculous beer review, turned into a real conversation about why social media has erased reflection, why "smelling VC money" on a coffee shop is a real and growing instinct in this generation, and why Steve Jobs' Apple literally couldn't be built today. Joe breaks down how a heart rate monitor accidentally became his therapist on stage, and I get into something I don't usually talk about publicly, about what it was like in the final stretch of caring for my dad and the small intimate moments nobody prepares you for craft versus scale, panic versus presence, and why the next generation might reject anything that smells like growth-at-all-costs.Follow Joe:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@bigjoebegsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bigjoebegs/Tiktok: tiktok.com/@bigjoebegs04:00 Chasing Obsessions09:00 Social Media Focus Trap11:04 Viral Video Theory13:18 Keystone Origin Story17:01 Self-Pour Sadness19:34 Chinese Writing And Tones25:53 Korea Beer Terra Tasting29:43 Venture Capital Smell Test32:01 Strip Mall America33:45 Fake ID Glory Days36:30 Steve Jobs Couldn't Exist Today40:20 Comedy as Conspiracy43:43 Three Minute Bit Gamble47:49 Dad's Health Scare52:44 Skunked Beer Science55:31 Worst Beer Ever59:09 Xbox Is the DrugListen 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 finds themselves still knee-deep in guards as the bakery-not-bakery continues to reveal its secrets. As if armed guards weren't enough, this latest fight comes with a Dig-Widget joining the fray. And just when things seem under control... what in the Nine Hells are those jinkins doing crawling out from behind the shelves? Every room in this place somehow manages to be worse than the last.

People are looking for healing in places they didn't used to look. Acupuncture, sound baths, energy work — once dismissed as fringe, are now very much moving into the mainstream. That shift shows up in the numbers. Wellness is a trillion dollar industry in the U.S. Americans spend more than $6,000 per person each year on it. That's the broader current carrying a lot of what used to be considered alternative medicine into wider use. It’s also taken on a much wider meaning. My guest Peter Bulliard works where physical and mental wellness collide. He’s a healer, more specifically, he calls himself a master shaman. Peter Bulliard was born in St. Martinville. He got a degree in art and later nursing, but spent years working as a touring musician, primarily as a drummer, before either of those careers took hold. A brain tumor diagnosis in 1998 changed his trajectory. He began studying healing practices, eventually training with shamans and spiritual teachers across the globe, including a stint at The Four Winds Shamanic School, before transitioning into full-time spiritual and healing work.His services include healing sessions, master classes and workshops, property cleansing, personalized mentoring, energy training, death doula services and spiritual guidance. He's also the author of the book Heal Anxiety in One Day. That search for the fabric of reality isn't just happening in wellness. It's happening in our closets, too — a pushback against fast fashion, mass production, and clothes that fall apart in a year. People are turning to the essential fabric of American style: Denim. Dark indigo washes and vintage-inspired silhouettes are back in style. Selvedge mills produce limited runs and the process can produce one-of-a-kind pieces. The fabric has become a natural fit for boutique brands looking to offer exclusivity their bigger competitors can't. If you’re in Lafayette and want a unique show piece, pop by Son of a Texan in Downtown Lafayette, owned by my guest, Sky King. Sky moved often as a kid — rural Kentucky, Texas, Louisiana — and spent much of his adolescence at a remote church camp, which he says shaped his comfort with rural, small-community life. After high school, he skipped college and went straight into restaurant and food service work, which occupied much of his early adult life. It was his grandfather who first taught him to iron and shine his shoes, planting an early interest in clothing and textiles. After his father died about six years ago, Sky began reassessing his direction — and found his way, alongside his wife Katrena, who'd been taught to sew and repair clothes by her own grandmother, toward a business built around longevity and repairability. Son of a Texan opened in 2025. They specialize in selvedge denim and durable, small-batch goods from independent makers — clothing meant to be worn for years, repaired, and passed down.It’s good for business that people are always wanting more. Sometimes the trick is to convince them to slow down and maybe invest in something deeper and more durable, like spiritual balance or a nice pair of jeans.

This week, the party finds themselves fresh off desecrating the corpse of Clan Tolorr elder Ygrin Oathcarver—a corpse they created, mind you. After discovering there's a lot more to Ygrin than meets the eye, they press deeper into the increasingly suspicious bakery. At this point, it's becoming clear that this place has a lot more in common with a secret headquarters than a place that sells bread. What other secrets are hidden within the bakery that's definitely, absolutely, totally just a bakery?

Fresh off taking down Ygrin—one of Clan Tolorr's elders—the party finds themselves still knee-deep in trouble. His loyal gargoyle remains very much a problem, proving that even death isn't enough to stop Ygrin from making their lives miserable.

This week, the party comes face to face with Ygrin Oathcraver once again—but what is he doing here? As more pieces of the mystery fall into place, one question keeps nagging at them: why does a bakery need a fully stocked training room in the first place? The deeper they dig, the less this place feels like a bakery… and the more dangerous it becomes.

Fresh off clearing the riffraff out of the bakery's training room, the party turns their attention to Tuom Molegrade's quarters in search of answers. But as they begin digging through the room, an eerie disembodied voice suddenly echoes through the air. The strangest part? It sounds… familiar. Very familiar.

This week, the party pushes deeper into the bakery and stumbles upon something they definitely weren't expecting: a fully outfitted training room. Because apparently this bakery needed more than ovens and rolling pins. And standing silently in the corner? A lone scarecrow that somehow makes the whole place even more unsettling. Nothing suspicious about that… right?

Tonight on the podcast we dive headfirst into one of the strangest and most unbelievable stories in modern American history — the legend of Richard Russell, better known across the internet as “Sky King.”From a quiet ground service employee to the man who shocked the world by stealing a passenger plane and taking it on a haunting final flight over the Pacific Northwest, we break down the documentary, the timeline, the mystery, and the emotions surrounding the event that left millions glued to their screens. Was it rebellion? A mental break? A cry for freedom? Or something far deeper that people still don't fully understand?We explore the media reaction, the internet mythology that followed, and why this story connected with so many people around the world. Along the way we bring in powerful metal tracks, emotional atmosphere, and the signature Willie-style storytelling that turns this episode into a late-night descent into chaos, mystery, and reflection.This episode features discussion about aviation, freedom, isolation, internet culture, and the eerie legacy left behind by the man who became known as Sky King.Buckle up… because this isn't just a documentary review — it's a journey into one of the most surreal true stories of our generation.

This week, the party continues their break-in at the former Blacknoon Guild bakery—but things are far from quiet. With the alarm already raised, the element of surprise is long gone. Talking their way out worked before… but with blades drawn and tensions rising, will words still be enough? Or is it time to fight their way through?

Rachel's youngest crashes the pod on Bring Your Child to Work Day, and the nine-year-old wastes zero time fact-checking adults, interrupting tangents, and quietly stealing the episode. The trio covers Justin Bieber's Coachella laptop loophole, why he couldn't legally sing his own songs live, and whether Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter's collab was genius or just a little too forced.From there it's a full sweep of the cultural moment: Miss Thailand breaking from pageant choreography to pop and lock in a bikini, the fake-or-real beef between Alex Earle and Alex Cooper, Dr. Miami's former social media manager finally spilling why she left, and the red light camera ticket Dale got for a license plate that hadn't been on his car in six months. Dale also finally caved and got Hulu just to watch Sky King, while Rachel cannot quit Love After Lockup, and Summer House gets a full breakdown that may have just recruited a new viewer.The episode closes with a confession that has apparently been weighing on someone for a while — they genuinely cannot tell Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman apart — and Sienna's shoutout list, which included approximately every child at her dance studio.Episode Sponsor:Presented by 1-800 Call Lee — South Florida's trusted personal injury team.

This week, the party finally steps inside the bakery—only to be immediately confronted by guards. With suspicion in the air and eyes on every move, they'll have to think fast. Will they talk their way out… or draw steel and let their actions speak instead?

This week, the party sets up a stakeout at the bakery, hoping to uncover something new. But will they actually learn anything they don't already suspect? With Fazil offering a… creative distraction, the team has a choice to make: take the bait, or trust their instincts and hunt for the secret entrance they're convinced is hidden nearby. Either way, things are about to get interesting.

Guess who wants to come on the pod? We talk the Sky King doc. Racist Joe appears. Justin recaps his charity gig. And Rob has a fabulous reunion with someone from a DLP Agenda legendary story. 

Episode 250: Lara Returns—London Bonus Day, Recurrent Training, and a Venice Bike-and-Barge AdventureTyler and Monique celebrate the podcast's 250th episode by welcoming back longtime guest Laura, who shares updates from flying to London again, joining a company-wide ambassador program to reinvigorate employees, and receiving praise from a passenger who said she felt like she was in first class. The hosts discuss non-rev travel frustrations, a canceled Seattle aerospace dinner trip, and an airport internet outage that forced manual boarding processes. Laura recounts a London “bonus day” after a cancellation, visits to the Churchill War Rooms and Borough Market, and the quirks of recurrent training drills where she initially failed due to hand-position critiques before passing. She also details a Venice-to-Mantua, Italy bike-and-barge trip, including e-bikes, onboard meals, a fall on day one, and successful Air France and American non-rev upgrades. The episode ends with notes on aviation stories, including an Icelandair low flyby and Hulu's “Sky King,” and thanks to StaffTraveler.00:00 Welcome Back, Lara05:07 Travel Envy And Moving09:38 Work Updates And Ambassador Role18:24 London Return And Pen Story23:19 Bonus Day London Adventure29:01 Recurrent Training Drama34:23 Icelandair Flyby Debate35:55 Sky King Hulu Breakdown40:31 Airport Internet Outage41:57 System Outage Chaos43:10 Managers Missing the Point46:11 Nonstop Thanks Pilot Story48:39 Bike and Barge Explained53:07 Venice Nonrev Adventures01:00:34 E-Bike Wipeout Karma01:03:02 Costs Tips and Bell Rules01:09:44 Check-In Drama and Upgrades01:13:47 StaffTraveler Updates01:18:43 Automation and Future Jobs01:20:27 Birthday Plans and Wrap-UpCheck out Route Explore from StaffTraveler   https://route-explorer.com/StaffTraveler wants our feedback to help build Route Explore before it is officially released.  Send any feedback to support@stafftraveler.comStaffTraveler is offering a 10% code for any of our listeners who buy their eSIM.Use the Promo code ST10NONREVLOUNGE  https://share.stafftraveler.com/nrl-esim✈StaffTraveler is a great app that can assist your non-rev travels!

A group of high schoolers asked the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile to take them to prom... and they said yes! It’s becoming a new trend to get a rib removed in order to have a smaller waist size. One woman had 6 removed because she wanted to look like Barbie. Nancy was on a business panel at the University of Tennessee last night and went rogue. Most of the panelists were very professional and serious, but Nancy decided to be honest and tell the students that it’s okay to not know what they are doing. Joey and Nancy both watched Sky King, the documentary about the man that stole a plane and flew it around Washington. Hot Tea: Jelly Roll has gained a little bit of weight back, but he is back on his health and weight loss journey. The Morgan Wallen Foundation plans to donate over $1 million to Gibbs High School. It’s reported that the Super Bowl will be held in Nashville in 2030. Nerd News! Redheads’ genes are slowly spreading and will be sticking around for good. Reid Wiseman from the Artemis II mission posted a video from his iPhone of the Earth setting over the moon’s surface. There is a new Chinese car with a voice activated AI toilet in the passenger seat. Joey and Nancy both went to film tv specials with Hallerin Hilton Hill from NewsTalk 98.7. Someone put makeup on both of them, and Nancy thought it was hilarious that Joey wad to wear makeup. Lucky 7 for $50 to Farmacy Joey had his kids sing his depressing song from 1992, and it made a ton of people cry! Dollywood’s eagle sanctuary experienced damage during the storm a few days ago, and 3 of the eagles got out and flew away.

This week, the moment finally arrives—Fungie cashes in his Blacknoon coin. It's time for the Blacknoon Thieves' Guild to start answering some long-overdue questions. But what exactly does Fungie expect to gain from stepping into their world? In Highhelm's shadows, every deal comes with a price… and not all of them are paid in coin.

This week, the party reaches out to Clan Molegrade, hoping to open a dialogue and gather the answers they need. But will the clan be willing to discuss its affairs with outsiders… or will they prove just as closed-off—and calculating—as The Broch? In Highhelm, trust is hard-earned, and not every door opens willingly.

This week, the party comes face to face—albeit through iron bars—with Jirelga. But who is she, really? A potential ally or a dangerous enemy? A guide through the shadows, or a smuggler with her own agenda? Survivor… or something far more destructive? In The Broch, nothing—and no one—is ever quite what they seem.

This week, the party takes a field trip to The Broch—Highhelm's infamous private prison. But this isn't a place built on rehabilitation; it's a business. And in The Broch, profit comes before people. As the party digs deeper, they'll have to decide just how far they're willing to go in a system designed to keep its secrets locked behind a pay wall.
