Mindless Cheating Trials

Do fun people have to tell you they're fun? We have thoughts and they are mostly suspicious ones. This week, Ripley and Jordon dig into a stack of "Is this cheating?" questions they found online, and the answer seems to be... most of them. A surprising number of these dilemmas involve alcohol and questionable ethics, which tells you something about the internet. Jordon also admits he doesn't get why anyone in a committed relationship would subscribe to adult content creators, and then he poses the ultimate hypothetical: if you were running lesbian bar, who would you hire to work there? Then it's book time where we discuss a bit about the new ACOTAR novel and what has the internet so worked up about it. Jordon struggles (valiantly) to read, and we officially declare media literacy dead. To wrap things up, we sort through some of the rumors surrounding the BioWare shutdown. Grab a drink, keep your hands where we can see them, and settle in. If you want to see more head on over to mindlessprattle.com .

Mindless Child Psychopaths

We're tired. You're tired. Everyone's tired, and our phones keep buzzing with notifications we never asked for. This week starts with the Skarsgard brothers famous dad and quickly turns into a full Pirates of the Carribbean breakdown: what went wrong after the third movie, and why the fourth was decent but felt like an entirely different franchise. We also investigate why Jordon's YouTube feed has suddenly become more positive and we ask the big questions. Would you regrow your teeth if you could? Would you fly to another country for a full body check up since the USA's health insurance is a scam? We pour one out for Last Ditch, the COVID-conscious lesbian bar that's finally closing it's doors. We then survey the wreckage of the internet after AO3 went down. Jordon brings up the Malfoid controversy and we try to make since of the Kindle Unlimited rebrand. Don't worry though-- we wrap things up on a totally normal note: have you ever dabbled in child psychopaths? If you want to see more head on over to mindlessprattle.com .

Mindless No Touching Allowed

We are officially 8 weeks out from episode 200 and we're celebrating that the only way we know how: by having absolutely no plan! You've heard of rolling your eyes, but have you ever rolled your head? We have questions and possibly a demonstration. Jordon brings dad jokes,and then tells us about a man building a giant log cabin entirely with old school hand tools, which naturally leads into Jordon's recent camping adventures. Somewhere in there, we also settle the great linguistic debate of our time: what is the difference between swoopy and swishy? There's much more to hear and enjoy. Keep your hands to yourself and settle in! If you want to see more head on over to mindlessprattle.com .

Mindless Doom n Brew

Another week, another mindless episode for your ears to enjoy. Ripley makes her case for how badly she wants to see Wicker (and who can blame her?), and then Ripley & Jordon compare how they organize their steam libraries (spoiler: very, very differently.) That spins into how Ripley sorts her story ideas and other digital libraries, and that got her thinking how weird and beautiful and different human brains are from one another. Then, the topic you've all been waiting for: Liberty Biberty and those eyes. Ripley sees the TMNT while Jordon sees something a little creepier. Then spend an unreasonable amount of time gushing over Nespresso. (This is not an ad, but if anyone from Nespresso is watching/listening... we're open.) And Jordon wraps us up with the best way to play Doom. If you want to see more head on over to mindlessprattle.com .

Mindless Triceratops Wielding Ho

This week, we attempt home projects with absolutely zero useful examples to guide us-- turns out "wing it," is not a tutorial. Ripley's been pet sitting fulltime for a crew of fun, high-energy dogs, so expect dispatches from the chaos of too many waggy tails. Then we get philosophical. If you could live in any time period, when would it be-- and more importantly, who would you want to be? Jordon brings this week's cautionary tale about a coworker who managed to poison themselves, and then (naturally) ignored every instruction for fixing it. Classic! Plus, a round of fun questions absolutely no one asked for. Because that's kind of our whole thing. Grab a snack and settle in-- it's another beautifully mindless episode.

Mindless Resident Calls

This week kicks off with a full-throated defense of the new Resident Evil movie--because it's awesome, actually-- and a bigger question: why does anyone expect Resident Evil to be serious? It's always been camp. That's the point. Sit down. From there we get into the etiquette of announcing you're dating a cougar (there's a right moment, we promise,) celebrate Jordon's birthday and the single greatest gift ever bestowed upon a man-- a pizza axe-- and recap Ripley and Jordon's adventures at the Dirty Birdie. Then, Jordon returns with a spectrum update that against all odds, got worse, which Ripley somehow ties to the literacy crisis. We also work out life's greatest cheat codes: being a decent human or being decently pretty will get you disturbingly far. Plus: a rant about people who talk on the phone while ordering coffee and food. It's rude and that's a hill we will die on. Finally, a debate that cannot be settled: Ripley maintains Jordon has never seen a woman, while the doctor disagrees. You decide. If you want to see more head on over to mindlessprattle.com .

Mindless Cabinet Painting Dread

Hello Mindless Friends! This week, we are sneezing cat hair off every surface and dusting our way through this episode. We tackle the hard questions like, Does your google search history expose your OCD, and why was Target the appropriate venue for an incident with boobies? Then, we're off to Scotland with theories about where the beavers went and Jordon regales us with questions about birds. Plus: homeownership continues to be a slow-motion trap painting cabinets is a personal attack, and Jordon shares his thoughts on Resonance-- a geuinely great video game that is also actively trying to defeat you. Grab a lint roller and settle in; it's a weird one! If you want to see more head on over to mindlessprattle.com .

Mindless Quick Cancel

This week, we're running on moving box fumes and existential questions. We get into the special kind of exhaustion that is relocating your entire life, dig into Pursuit of Jade, and settle the debate no one asked us to: would an apex predator actually want to sparkle like Edward Cullen? (Spoiler: Predators do not need rhinestones to be terrifying.) And then, because we're clearly in our rage era, we close out on the great modern scam-- companies that let you sign up in 3 seconds but make canceling feel like a hostage negotiation. Just let us leave! Grab a drink and settle in to prattle with us! If you want to see more head on over to mindlessprattle.com .

Mindless Grudges & Groceries

This episode could alternatively be called "Exhaustion, part two: the packing continues." And so goes our slow descent into cardboard-box madness. This one's recorded while Ripley is fresh with nerves over an impending job interview which cues the eternal question of what the heck does one wear to a job interview?! Then, our hosts get into Soulframe, and the (genuinely) momentous news that Ripley finally got new pants as well as the special frustration of dealing with someone whose communication style changes every five minutes. Some joy is found in letting strangers touch your belongings, while other things do not fill us with joy. These things include: Jordon's personal vendetta against Dutch Bros, the mystery of Five Guys pricing model, and the broader existential question of WHY is EVERYTHING so EXPENSIVE?? Come for the pants update, stay for the economic despair. If you want to see more head on over to mindlessprattle.com .
