Snow has fallen on the neon cityscape of Neo-Chicago, but we are safe inside from the elements and talking about trains, toys, and tiktok into our microphones.

M&Ms are back in the news. Because they always fucking are. People are freaking out because Pink Floyd has gone “woke”. Lol, you won’t believe this one. Jay Leno is also becoming the 6 million dollar man.

We “shift” ourselves to 1984 and back this week as Ben Flores and Sarah Black return to the show to talk about their latest new podcast CrimeWatchers!

Field Notes

‘Rewatch podcasts’ are all the rage right now. CrimeWatchers is the latest hit podcast of that phenomenon, as two of the stars of Crimestoppers: Miami (the show each and every one of us watched in the 2000’s) Kent and Piper talk us through what it was like to be on set, or in some cases even LIVE on set!

Ben and Sarah bring to life the wonderful world of Crime, and talk us through the process. We talk about the latest phenomenon currently hitting TikTok, “shifting”, and were marks and angles a math thing? You tell us.

We share our new years resolutions on this episode, and talk about Quora, the newest garbage bin of the internet, when you need a question answered and want the longest and preferably most insane answer possible.

Andrew Tate and Andrew WK are the yin and yang of partying, Jeremy Renner gets run over by a reindeer (snow plow), and people can’t stop making lists!

Field Notes

Recalling memories of days on the internet of old, Merritt K talks to us about her book LAN Party, which is full of photos of people just hanging out on the computer and having an awesome time with their friends. It’s a delightful walk down memory lane, to simpler (yet slightly more convoluted) times.

You can support the book LAN Party here!

Was the internet better back then? Is it actually worse now? Will the Mario movie be good? All questions will be answered on this very episode.

In other news, apparently The Office is too edgy to be made now, and you can pee any time you want during Avatar 2 as long as you pay for a ticket to see it multiple times.

We bond over how annoying the internet is, naturally. Some guy takes his son to Hooters, and “it is sending us.” Twitter is set to have multiple different colored badges because, well, Elon.

Be sure to check out Endless Content Forever playing at a local film fest near you! Coming soon to Chicago, Florida, and Los Angeles. Follow Jacob for all the updates: https://twitter.com/JacobGorb
