Podcasts The Brick Room

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  In this week’s podcast we talk a little bit about the pros and cons of Thanksgiving dinner.  What side dishes are the best?  Is turkey really a good meat?  Answer:  no.  Why don’t we have steak or pork?  Or venison?  After discussing the coming week’s feast we move on to talk about […]

Video games are not like real life.  Nevertheless, that does not stop video game designers from trying to make them more and more realistic.  However, as the games become more realistic, it becomes easier for the games to shatter their own suspension of disbelief.  In other words, as the games become more realistic the more […]

How much money do the casinos in Las Vegas make in one year?  We know it’s a lot of money.  What could all the casinos in Vegas buy with one years worth of profits?  Could they build a space station?  Could they fund NASA?  Cure a disease?  Marc went to Vegas for his birthday and […]

Have you ever tried online dating?  There’s a lot to do if you decide to venture into these digital waters.  You have a profile to maintain.  You have to check your account often to see if you have any messages.  You have to send messages out to other people.  It can be a lot of […]

Is the Sitcom going away?  What do you think, Brick Room Listeners.  It seems like the multi-camera sitcom shot in front of a live audience and featuring a laugh track may finally be going extinct.  We’re pretty happy about that, despite the fact that we’ve enjoyed some sitcoms in the past.  We believe TV has […]

Over time, humans have grown and evolved to develop society, language, learning, and technology, among other things.  What if other creatures, over a long time, also grew and evolved to have those things?  What would a planet ruled by wolves or spiders look like?  What would their society and technology be like?  Some insects kill […]

We’re back and today we’re talking about space tourism and space advertising.  We’re both looking forward to the day when space tourism becomes an affordable thing.  We’re not looking forward to the day when space is filled with advertisements and billboards.  Some amount of space advertising is already allowed and taking place.  A company could […]

A topic of much debate in San Diego these days is whether or not the city should build a new football stadium for the San Diego Chargers.  The Charger’s owners, for their part, are threatening to take the team to L.A.  What does the Brick Room think about this?  We’re joined once again by Steve […]

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS.  We had so much to say about Jurassic World in our last episode that we split the conversation in two, much like a T-Rex might split a bloodsucking lawyer.  Here’s part two.  In this episode we get more in depth about specific plot points from the film.  We also talk more about why […]
