Clocked Out Podcast

Christian, our film focused friend, comes onto the podcast and puts us in a cinematic mood for discussion.

The Election Day a corner away, we get a "presidential" about the state of America. Is Kamala Harris or Donald Trump going to win? Is it really going to make a difference? Why are people so afraid to vote? Let's think about it.

After an unexpected week off, the Clocked Out Crew is back! Dan has stories from his trip to New York Comic Con and is ready to spill the tea.

Madi watched a clip about sharing locations that inspired her to ask us about the red flags in relationships.

Madi says a lot of people tend to share too much information and she's not alone. With that in mind, what makes a good listener anyway?

Dan is pissed about a work situation that has him questioning the emotional intelligence of his coworkers.

The knot is officially sealed! Madi & John had their wedding. What was it like for us? How did they know they were ready? We discuss it all with a little side piece on Dan's job too.

Learning from past experiences helps us create the life we want and avoid the same mistakes. With that said, Akeel wants to know if we're trapping ourselves in our familiar routines. Are we afraid of change? Have our Mind Palaces become Mind Prisons?

With the closing of a lot of older companies like Blockbuster & Circuit City, are the old stores being cancelled and replaced with new stores? Are the ones left fading into the background?

We finally saw Deadpool & Wolverine together (though Dan saw it 3 times). We get into a deep dive and what it might mean for the MCU.

Disney is in the news due to a surprising accidental death, but that's not exactly the crazy part.

My Hero Academia has ended (in the manga) and Akeel wants to know what to look forward to. Sorry for the distortions. We wear our heart on our sleeves through our growing pains, but new equipment is coming soon!

School is back in session, but not for us. We decide to take a trip down memory lane to remember what our school days were like.

With San Diego Comic Con wrapped up, Dan wants to know if we're on board with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Akeel wants to know how childhood has changed because people don't "touch grass" like they used to.

Madi & John share a bad shopping experience they had before Madi explains what a "incel" is and her pet peeve with them. Akeel & Dan pitch in with dumb reviews and people expecting a hook up. Why do people leaves bad reviews for dumb reason? Why does Akeel think some barbers are too aggressive? Why do some places add a "tip" into the prices?

Dan gets into the distinction of Corporate businesses vs. Mom & Pop Shops. Akeel gives his insights as a customer rather than a employee. Madi & John are incognito this week. As for the little and big businesses: What makes them different? Do they operate similar or not at all? Which is better?

Akeel is curious to ask how our parents saw our childhood compared to us. Madi explains that bills being paid doesn't mean needs were met. Dan thinks our parents were big kids having kids. John gives credit that there were good parts more than bad. So how different are our childhoods?

After discussing some pet logic, we shift into some wholesome moments that get us teary eyed. Then, we end up on movie and tv shows like Across the Spider-verse, Game of Thrones, and Star Wars.

Dan loses his marbles over Madi & John never buying paper towels before we discuss how we rate content. As we flow through the conversation, we ultimately fall into the communication issues. *There is some small clipping since we were in a different space. All fixed for the next episode. Thanks for the understanding and support!

What a weekend! We went to Fan Expo in Dallas and we got a few things to say about it. Summer Games Fest also happened so we meant a few games we're excited for.

Akeel feels anime inspired to explain the original term of the anime "Big Three". The crew shares their choices if there was a new generation for it before sharing favorites and spice things up with our hot takes.

We mentioned her for a while and Brittany has now arrived! Find out who she is and how she was a center piece for us all meeting. Follow her art @august.moon.art on Instagram!

After Dan hosts a game for our engaged couple, John and Madi want to discuss the problems in the fitness community and Akeel chimes in on some of the misconceptions of bigger body types.

With it being Mental Health Awareness month, we converse on why it's necessary in today's hustle culture. We share our growth in learning the importance of self care while addressing the problems that arise from neglecting it
