Move over ya dumb, outdated IQ test. On today's episode, Josh shows support for the theory there are nine intelligences that should be considered in all school curricular. Things like Logical-Mathematical, Linguistic, Interpersonal... but don't read about them here ya dumb dumb! Hear Josh talk about it! And also check out the infographic. Then Brett wraps up with some Muay Thai ropes so he can finally get a good content beatdown on one of his all-time favorite shows of, um, well all-time. Yes I said that already but he really, really likes this show. And so does everyone else right now thanks to some recent related MCU easter eggs! He's talking the heroic growth of Karen Page, the whiny bitch turned badass Foggy Nelson and the blind lawyer "devil-of-Hell's-Kitchen" Matt Murdock, all thanks to the Netflix Marvel TV Series: Daredevil.

On today's episode, Brett finds his way back to the show to spread the word about a supremely haunting and incredibly poignant robot art piece that was slowly "dying" despite its best efforts to survive by continually shoveling hydraulic fluid back into its leaky reservoir. Then Josh takes on a similarly challenging task to convince the world of one thing: Andrew Garfield is the BEST live-action Spider-Man in a world filled by both Spidered-Men (new and old) and fans filled with Spider-Mania. The ultimate source for this potentially Spider-Earth shattering revelation? The Marc WEBB (ha) directed film, The Amazing Spider-Man... or as Josh calls it: TASM. (The first one not the second one, the second one sucked Spider-Balls.)

And we're back! Sometimes. On this episode, Josh dives into the dark history of the Shaka hand signal, how its origin is based in brutal hand mangling and how it has been adopted by the terminally cool and the socially awkward alike. Then Nick discusses the not-so-widely-known world of the mid-nineties multiplayer text-based games hosted on standalone servers. Anyone could dial into one of these servers, called "BBSes," as long as they had a modem. Guest host (and the world's third contentologist) took advantage of these super computer nerd's network and became quite fond of several of these games. Nick walks us down memory lame, covering these simple yet great BBS Door Games and ultimately asks the question, what makes a game good? The answer may lead Josh and Nick to burn their XBoxes and PlayStations! He's talking: Barren Realms Elite (BRE) and Legend of the Red Dragon (LORD).

According to Nick, there is a major problem with our modern society. Not quite sure what he means... all seems to be running smoothly; no cause for concern. Psych! It's a shitshow! And Nick believe on possible reason why is both somewhat obvious and yet also rarely recognized. The conflicts within our society do not see the two opposing sides on the same page as to what is even being discussed and adding to the problem? Our rapid-fire low-bandwidth modern forms of "conversation" boiled down to 240 character limits on Twitter, comment-based dialogue on social media posts, 24/7 news headlines, and sound bites. No real solutions are being proposed. Maybe Keanu and FlipSixThreeHole can solve all our problems! After that, Josh covers one of his favorite shows featuring one of his favorite actors playing one of his favorite vigilantes. It's justice time. Vengeance time! SKULL TIME! Josh reveals his man crush (although we knew all along it is Jon Bernthal) when he dives into the Netflix Marvel show: The Punisher.

It is safe to say that probably everyone has heard about the tragic news that happened on the set of "Rust" after an accidental fatal shooting occurred. On today's episode, Josh discusses a prop gun technology that does not sacrifice authenticity but undoubtedly improves safety. Unfortunately, this product was shelved but recent events just might be the catalyst that inspires funding to bring back the simulated firearm: the "Violette." After that, Brett talks about a book that captured his imagination as a youth and still provides some philosophical inspiration (and aeronautical information) as an adult. We talk seagulls and skydiving, both relevant to the Richard Bach novella: Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

What rhymes with ass murveillance? You guessed it, mass surveillance! On today's episode, Josh and Nick discover "totally-not-a-robot" Mark Zuckerberg and the recent news about Facebook's rebranding to Meta. Are the roots of the Meta concept ripped straight from a sci-fi novel? And does this have the potential to change the world of video games, connectivity, communication and more? Also, are we doomed?! After that, Josh deep dives into the art collective that revolutionized the Santa Fe art scene and went on to create three unbelievable art installations unlike anything else on the planet. This content we speak of could only be one thing: Meow Wolf.

Hydra Vu-whatnow? Is this some kind of nearly immortal fresh water polyp? Actually... yes. That's exactly what it is. This weird looking creature has quite an enviable superpower (immortality) and a biological trade off that might make you question whether you’d want to live forever. After Josh talks Polyps, Nick talks People! Well one person in particular, J. Bach. No, not Johann Sebastian Bach! The other Bach. Cognitive scientist with a focus on cognitive architectures, models of mental representation, emotion, motivation, sociality... dang. He's no polyp but he's pretty Bachtastic: Joscha Bach.

Have you ever wondered how individual units interact to create highly complex and interconnected processes that sometimes give the appearance of intelligence? Think ant colonies... fungal networks... Insane Clown Posse gatherings...
Well, guess what Juggalo, there is a science for that! And Nick is going to talk about it. (Or are the organized molecules that make up Nick and everything else pre-determined to discuss the science of complex systems? Who knows). After that deep dive, Josh dives even deeper while discussing content that expertly walks the line between hardcore horror and universal appeal. This popular TV series utilizes the 9th season to deconstruct the 80s slasher genre while dipping it's big content toe into the real-life world of American serial killers as major characters. The Content Clearinghouse is talking American Horror Story: 1984.

Looks like there's a new Contentologist in town. (It's a real thing.) Nick is sitting in for Brett in a Content Clearinghouse first but the format will remain! On today's off-top, Josh is talking about a bizarre book, an encyclopedia in fact of things that don't exist. Then Nick knocks it out of the park for his first episode as a full-on content co-host by discussing a sci-fi classic of epic (and campy) proportions. It's original, it's entertaining, and it features Kevin Bacon. Nick is discussing the 1990 film that some would call "flawless:" Tremors.
