Ripley Shaine

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...

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 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 sc...

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 he...

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 mo...

Check out at your own pace and not at the one of the zombie tentacles. Its Mindless Prattle with another blazing episode full of nons and chalants for your audio pleasure centers. The new sound is on its way and the videos are getting there at their own pace but rest with all the assureds that MP will be here with new cat needs, new heights to not ...

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,...

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 ...

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.)...

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 Soulfram...
