World’s Greatest Online… Podcasf?

We're going to have a to think of a better name...

Anyway, so DK, Nibbish, and myself made this thing. I assure you, it's appropriately half-baked. We recorded on Monday but I'm just getting it out now for several reasons which include trying to figure out how to make a podcast.

I'm going to attempt to get this on the usual podcast platforms, but I wanted to get this out here as such an amazing discussion with scorching hot takes needs to get out to the masses as soon as possible.

The videos DK and I discuss are Tree In Orange:

And Styx's Renegade:

And we had a special guest pop in and discuss STAMPED: Racism, Antiracism, and You by Ibram X. Kendi and Jason Reynolds.

            1. Considering how waffling my scheduling is to do these, good luck coming up with an emptier promise than me.

    1. I expect the game involving two letters that is completely different than the half played weekly on a local radio station to return sporadically this winter

  1. O.k. hear me out as this is something I've thought was true but never expressed it.

    Renegade and Bohemian Rhapsody are different takes on the same events.

    Both sung in the first person. Both refer to their mother as "mama." Both sing about some crime they committed (but not described), ran from the law, and now that they are caught (or about to be), paying the ultimate price with their life .

    While BR is more wistful, it's a song to his mother about how sorry he is and that he hurt her, Renegade is much more defiant. I think even thought BR came out first, Renegade probably came first chronologically. He's still on the run, defiant... he's scared, that's why he reaches out to his mother... but nonetheless still pretty cocksure. BR is later, he's been caught, perhaps his last night before heading to the gallows and he's reflecting on all he's done, everyone he's hurt, especially his mother.
