Tom Zalatnai from Up For Discussion (@DownWithTalking) joins the usual crew for an extra long, extra honest episode discussing "Stealth" in videogames. Tom plays a bit of a stealth ARG in real life. Giovanni asks an important question about why stealth mechanics feel so forced. Dave gets into the mental games inherent in stealth multiplayer. Colin talks about using moss to choke people. Greg has two... thrones... Make sure to check out all of the shows on the Upford Network by going to https://upfordnetwork.com!

Simon's back! He joins us for a great chat about finding your self-worth outside of what you get done with your time and how being an artist is super freaking hard sometimes! We talk about how it's easier to be gentle with your expectations of other people than with yourself, what would happen if Barack Obama ran for Prime Minister of Canada, and how many times it's appropriate to say "chugga chugga" before saying "choo choo" Head to www.hazelaid.com and enter the coupon code UPFORD to get 10% off your order!

The CAQ (Coalition Avenir Quebec/Coalition for Quebec's Future) are currently attempting to strong-arm their way to a new law that would prevent teachers, judges, and more from wearing any type of religious symbol on the job. This is an affront to people's religious freedoms, but it's also an affront to the Canadian legal system, and it's a ridiculously hypocritical idea coming from a province where every other street is named after a Catholic saint. So, we sat down with history teacher Rob Green to learn all about it! Rob taught Tom like 9 years ago, and is now preparing to run for the Green Party in the upcoming elections! He's also got a degree in Religious Studies, and has been the face of the English Montreal School Board's recent protests against the CAQ's racist proposal. So, strap in and get ready to learn a whole lot and also to get angry! Head to www.hazelaid.com and enter the coupon code UPFORD to get 10% off your order!

A trainer’s first Pokemon is arguably the most important impact on how their fighting style develops and more importantly how they grow as a trainer and as a person. So naturally, the Pokemon that best map onto our personalities are a goopy snot dragon, a swole fish with large calves, and a metallic pangolin walled off from emotions. Fortunately, Tom Zalatnai from Up for Discussion and Blasting Off Again stopped by to remind us that there is good in the world, and that a Pokemon can be used to improve society and are not just for Instagram fan pages. You can check out Tom’s work and other shows on the Upford Network at upfordnetwork.com.
