Episode 164 - Progressive Hot-Dog Water feat. Isaac Jackson

Just another day, another podcast. Except this time we're in the MILE HIGH PODCAST CLUB. That's right, we're coming to you live from a plane just out of LAX, and we've got full access to the cockpit! We could do a barrel roll! Amazing! We could do a loop-de-loop! We could even dump some fuel! DUMP IT, TODD! We should do this more often, there's absolutely no way this could go wrong, so buckle up, put your tray table up, and listen to these issues:

* Big UI
* Race Relations
* It's Not For You... It's For Kids

Remember the good ol' days, back when you didn't need reading glasses, and you could focus on more than one thing at a time, and your grandkids were cute little babies and not pre-teen monsters? Oh, you're not an old person? Then why the hell are the icons on your phone so big? It takes you 56 swipes to get through your app drawer. Oh, it came like that. Because screw productivity.

We've gone past racism into tolerance and past that back into racism. We've gone from "I don't see color" to "every color is a precious Faberge egg THAT CANNOT BE TOUCHED". Plus, we've so ripped open the meaning of the word racism, that if you don't have every possible race/gender combination in a group of people, you're a bigot. No, I don't have any Mongolian-American friends, and in 2020 that makes me a racist!

Kids are entertained easily. Bright colors, music, lots of movement, it doesn't take much. That doesn't mean their entertainment needs to be bad though. Parents are going to be watching it along with them anyways, so make something that doesn't have to be spectacular high art, but enjoyable enough that they can look back on it fondly and not be horrified when they look back on it in 15 years. And if you want to update Star Trek: The Next Generation, but as a wacky gross-out cartoon, don't.

All this and more on this week's episode, full of REAL TALK. Don't forget to join us on DISCORD, and support us on PATREON, NEWPROJECT2 or by BUYING A SHIRT!
