2025/11/02

It's Nate's Nightmare November! We're talking about a wreslting book, again! This time we're talking about THE wrestler of the 1980s, Hulk Hogan. I can't wait. I've been so excited for this. Because it's so bad. It's just terrible. A grown man tells you a lot of lies or exaggerations, craps on his wife, then says "I wish her all the best." This is what my dog would have wanted.

Apologies, we had some issues with John's audio on this one. Ben and John sit down to discuss the time-honored tradition of Overpopulation Fiction. Is it dead? Is it more relevant than ever before?

This week Nate tackles something very near and dear to his heart: Mass Effect. Also Shamus Young, a writer who had tragically passed away just a few short years ago. Ben is also here. Sometimes. He's around here. Occasionally he has some good observations that are born out of Nate failing to properly get his point across or describe Shamus Young's writing concepts and then he has to go back and add in a lot of post-recording footgate to better explain himself.
