Sam returns to the show to tackle the ever-reliable Board O’ Topics, and yes—somehow it all starts with Christmas. Riveting podcast content, as promised.

From there, the conversation wanders (by design) into the realities of video, podcasting, and clipping content—what actually hits, what absolutely doesn’t, and how much social media effort is too much. We get honest about the awkwardness of asking for money, supporting creative work, and what Sean actually received for the podcast.

Sean also reveals that he’s been sleeping well lately—and explains why—leading into a discussion on active imagination and the strange mental movies that happen while we sleep.

1. Pass or Go: Skinnerbox – “Nex Finga”
2. This sparks a deeper dive into King Django, ska history, and the surprisingly sharp world of dis tracks within ska music.
3. Songs with Shared Lyrical Content:
4. Maroon 5 vs. The Airborne Toxic Event — which song has more heart and sincerity?
5. The discussion expands to Smokey Robinson’s “Tracks of My Tears”, Leigh Filbert’s “Time to Go Home”, plus detours into The Ramones and Jacob Brodovsky.

We unpack the idea of participation badges—whether they’re real, misunderstood, or just badly explained—and clarify how modern school systems actually handle achievement. This leads into reflections on:

1. Advanced vs. slower learning streams
2. Moving from French immersion to English school
3. A surprising (and welcome) turn into physics

Somehow, we also:

1. Define exactly what a jailhouse burrito is
2. Share the recipe
3. Thank the listeners and supporters of both Sean’s and Sam’s shows
4. And finally address the real question: what is going on with Sean’s mustache

In this episode of Geeking With Karen Bee, Seanorama and Karen dive into AI ethics, creative ownership, and how artificial intelligence is reshaping work, art, and even tabletop RPG prep. They explore the benefits and concerns surrounding AI, including copyright issues and its impact on artists and creators.

The conversation shifts to book recommendations and geek reading habits, spotlighting the popular LitRPG series Dungeon Crawler Carl, along with current DC and Marvel comics featuring Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and the X-Men. The hosts also discuss standout comic creators like Gail Simone and Warren Ellis.

Film and television take center stage as Sean and Karen break down Peacemaker, Hawkeye, Knives Out, Zootopia 2, and the evolving Marvel and DC cinematic universes. They share candid thoughts on upcoming superhero movies, actor performances, and why strong storytelling matters more than box office numbers.

The episode wraps with reflections on beloved actors, career comebacks, celebrity authenticity, and what makes fandom feel meaningful in an era of constant reboots and sequels.

A thoughtful, funny, and honest conversation about pop culture, technology, and the stories that keep us geeking out.

We had a great episode with Clayton T Stewart a few years ago. In honor of him and keeping his memory alive, and because miss the guy, here is a rehash of when Clay came on to talk Harry Houdini.
