Because there’s too much stimulation, too much feverishness, and too many dastardly individuals transmitted into our handhelds. Private spaces invaded by tense horse****.
And learn how to ****** swear in print, Variety. Their headline: “Robert Downey Jr. Says ‘It’s Absolute Horses—’ to Declare That Social Media Influencers Are the ‘Stars of the Future'" caught many off guard. All yesterday I was sitting on the s—ter, amused by folks dunking on “horses—” as if it could be a synonym for “golly jeepers” or some s—.
And no shade to Doctor Doom; I am a big fan of “horses—.” “Bulls—” is shopworn… To me, the animals— rankings would be:
​Bats—
​Horses—
​Chickens—

What were we talking about? Ah, villainy… awful people who won’t settle for just control; they want their touchdown dance and an audience for it. As if Neil Armstrong were to land on the moon’s surface and radio back, “That’s one small step for man, one giant f— you!!”
That’s why this week we are aiming for mild horses—. A boring gathering at the third-best hotel in your city for conferences (and fourth for weddings). Where the speeches drone and the Chicken à la King swims in chafing dishes warmed over for lunchtime.
PS it would be goldfishs— if you didn't follow us on your favorite podcast provider.
And hi, moms! HMD

This is a sequel of sorts to our Game Boy on an airplane episode from a couple years back. In this episode, we’ll be focusing on the imagined gameplay. The game occurring here is a sneaky espionage mission—but with space aliens, or something less currently happening in the world right now ****. Pew-pew extraterrestrial stuff, and if we have any subscribers on Orion, forgive me.

So this week’s episode cover image pays homage to Saul Bass’ opening sequence for Alfred Hitchcock’s film North by Northwest.
Do I really need to shout out Saul Bass as the inspiration for this week’s episode cover? Check out the clumsy Photoshop composition I made of a master’s work featured in another master’s work.
And next I will impart to you a moral principle from childhood I subscribe to… “Do unto others.” Which was said by—
Heavens, I just had an intrusive memory that is quasi related to the opening sequences of movies. Bluh. So when I was graduating from college I had “like totally mastered” Avid Media Composer. I was using the 90s-era titling tool in AMC to make rudimentary cartoons and was convinced I was the ****.
So when I started applying to jobs, I was applying to the big guys, and to stand out I was trying to be super creative. So when I sent a 30-minute-long collection of my Avid Media Composer title-tool cartoons on VHS to Imaginary Forces—
THE Imaginary Forces, the folks that pre-horrified the movie Se7en. They pre-excitemented the Raiden Metal Gear. And later did movie logo opens for Marvel and DC Comics…
And I just packaged up a resume and demo tape and sent it addressed to one of the top people. And to extra stand out: I printed personalized notes about my short history on fortune-cookie-sized paper and stuffed them into an envelope to bursting. I think I used four different fonts on that resume… Ooph if someone opened that demo envelope, it probably made a mess.

Underwater ambience with whale sounds for sleep, relaxation, and deep focus. 9 hours of ocean ambience featuring whale song, submarine engine noise, sonar pings, drift, and gentle water movement. No talking, just continuous ambient sound. Also follow us in your podcast platform for more episodes like this.

A little underwater odyssey beneath the waves for relaxation, or a break from the bickering “brolitics” of the creatures living above sea level. 
And let me save you the time James Cameron, I am positive if we fastened a microphone outside of a jolly ****** submarine it wouldn’t sound like this. I am not an oceanographer (well spaced clapping hand emojis). I went to school hoping I would be a radio disc jockey…
When my biology professor sister casually dropped, yeah, when whales die they just sink to the bottom of the ocean. I was honestly flabbergasted, I didn’t assume whale hearses were a thing, I just—I don’t know what I thought… 
Speaking of odysseys, I was at the movies with my wife this week, and there’s just a slew of trailers featuring the awesome power of man. Antiquity inspired long-haired dudes with pythons for arms and giant mythological weaponry clasped in catcher-glove-sized hands. Magic pew-pew-pewing all around... One was He-Man, one was some assassin—the trailers are all The Northman now.
And I’m in my wife’s ear like, “We dudes love fantasies where we’re awkward twerps as children, go away for years, and come back home as gods.” 
And she’s like, “What’d you say?” 
And then in the trailer I hear a character say, “Odysseus…” and I turn back to my wife like, “Never mind, I do want to see this movie.”
And she’s like, “Shut up, I’m trying to watch this.”

Star Trek TOS Enterprise bridge ambience at warp speed for sleep, study, and deep focus. 8 hours of continuous space ambience featuring engine hum, starfield visuals, and a steady bridge atmosphere.
Visual episode with no talking or interruptions.

Let’s get off-world again this week with a visual ambience bonus episode. In the spirit of the recent space news (the only non-horrifying news from last week)—the Artemis crew flying around the moon and giving us astounding images of Luna’s far side—let’s head to the bridge of Captain Kirk’s 1960s Enterprise and wander through space at warp speed.
