    • Episode 0075: Horse Petting at the Kentucky Derby, Live on Netflix
      May 16 2024

      Lindsey scratched an item off of her bucket list as she attended the Kentucky Derby last week, and David and Alec have lots of questions. Based on Lindsey’s experience and the recent Roast of Tom Brady broadcast live on Netflix, the Nuts discuss the possibility of Netflix entering the live sports streaming market. The potential of different sports markets and the challenges of Netflix’s model lead the conversation. David and Alec debate the merits of the recently released Jerry Seinfeld film Unfrosted, Lindsey apologizes to every single science fiction fandom, and the Nuts discuss their plans for an upcoming academic conference.

    • Episode 0074: The Tortured Podcasters Department
      May 3 2024

      Taylor Swift's new album dropped, and of course the Nuts have to discuss it. The conversation explores the concept of long albums and the role of editors and producers in the music industry, as well as other creative industries. Other topics include summer classes, Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon, and other tragedies. The conversation then shifts to a discussion about a controversial documentary on Netflix called Ancient Apocalypse and recent comments made by Alex Jones. The Nuts express disinterest in internet debates as well as their frustration with being asked to provide immediate answers to complex questions, and they do so without being completely full of themselves.

Media discussions include the new Fallout series and the new Civil War movie. Baby Boomers are not okay, as the broadcast of Billy Joel’s concert on CBS was cut off too soon. A discussion of baby boomers hatred of self-checkout leads to the shocking revelation that both David and Lindsey shop for groceries in-store. Finally, the Nuts discuss Caitlin Clark, and Alec’s issues with the WNBA, which center on mascot names.
