You Don’t Wanna Be The Wild Thing? / FFW Grab Bag”We start out the episode in anger and regret of some extremely lost audio files, but rally and get into it. We discuss chores as a kids versus chores as an adult. 90’s cartoons and the heavy handed self awareness cartoons of today, which isn't a bad thing! We shout out Sinbad, Gargoyles! Bonkers!

BUT, once you get settled in, it gets all warm and fuzzy... you get brought into the story and it starts to make sense along the way. With all that being said, this week the Benton County Fair boys get into a heap of conversation with the Waukegan, IL mover, shaker, tour manager and hired muscle, J-Bird. Darien’s mentor and pit bull whisperer from the Rhymesayers crew.

Where do you think we go when we die? What’s your relationship with death? What’s the perfect Top 5 list of songs to make out and eventually, maybe bone too?

Friendship.

Sam & Darien are joined by best friend of the show and devilishly photogenic human, Alex Azure, to discuss what it means to be a friend.

This week on the Food For Worms Podcast, we sat with the big homie Quint Bramlage and unpacked our experiences and time in the scene of early/mid-2000’s Saint Cloud. We get into a hustle of creative pursuits, Dungeons & Dragons, old jobs, old bands, redacted stories and chance encounters of science fiction legends in floating head Zoom-like conference meetings. It was just good to sit with our friend and see where life has taken him and look back on how we all grew up, and eventually out. Quint, you are The Don and we love you.

Dick and Darien just wants to know if cryptokitties need a litterbox.2018-05-2142 minThe Stories We Tell Our RobotsEpisode 17 v2.0: Techsplaining RevisitedFeeling like they were so close to solving the issue, Dr. Tobias Wilson-Bates and Darien take one more stab at discussing paternalistic language in technology in this mini-episode.

Darien and Dr. Tobias Wilson-Bates discuss the prevalence of failure narratives in tech startups and why it's easy to find historical examples, but always hard to see one as it happens. Toby raises the prospect that our view of failure may be perpetuating problems in tech, while Darien is happy to hold on to any myth that helps him push through, regardless of its validity.2018-04-0941 minThe Stories We Tell Our RobotsEpisode #13: Can Robots Make Art?Is art solely a human pursuit?

Meanwhile, Toby proposes that the robot apocalypse is just another fall from grace.

Toby raises the possibility that our predictions are all in vain, and Darien predicts that he's wrong.2018-01-1547 minThe Stories We Tell Our RobotsEpisode #4: One Coin to Rule Them AllToby and Darien discuss how the rise of Bitcoin may actually presage future currencies. Toby suggests that Bitcoin may have all the value (or lack thereof) of the ring from The Lord of the Rings. Darien questions whether the hype may be all for nothing, when reality interrupts fantasy.2017-11-1552 minThe Stories We Tell Our RobotsEpisode #3: Social Media's Pandering News FeedsAre we not satisfied? Darien and Toby talk about why our news feed wants to please us, and whether that is making us more miserable?
