Psyc Talks

Thoughts on Gladiator II. Mainly bashing it in English and Kannada for about 20 minutes and saying how the first Gladiator is much better. But also, appreciating the visuals... like a teensy bit.

SPORTS! SPORTS! SPORTS! We discuss the differences between how we played badminton as kids and how we played it as adults and the strategies we employed to play it better. We also share funny tidbits and anecdotes about Cricket, hide-and-seek, and other games. Also, this episode marks the end of the podcast's first season. Stay tuned for Season 2 and more!

We discuss the pay-your-price concept and its feasibility in different settings. We discuss how human beings only think from their perspective and whether food gets wasted if thrown away... Also, why are the Japanese still mandating COVID-19 certificates and masks at their events? According to them, 2020 just called and it wants its RT-PCR back.

Addzy and Amarnath discuss Upendra's Old Movies, China's Dystopian Society, The Honey Scam, Kuvempu being Wealthy, Bad Design in Video Games, and Alternating Current... You might be shocked, but then again, this podcast has some electricity within it. What can I say, it's Episode 13...

You know the drill by now. We talk about popular shonen like Naruto, Bleach, DBZ, and even diss a bit on One Piece. And of course, we cannot mention Anime without speaking of Japan...and transitively Japan without Nagasaki. Bombs away...

We discuss moral policing, how people in power try to exert control over others, and the futility of it all. We discuss how everyone can be brilliant in some things but foolish in others. Also, coma patients are dragged into our conversation for some odd reason, but that was to be expected as they cannot walk.

It's all in the title this time. We talk about olden times (take this to mean rural areas in the present). We also reminisce about old cartoons we watched as kids and reflect on how things have changed.

In this episode, we discuss Amarnath's experience with a frustrating contract opportunity and his way of recognizing red-flag clients. We also discuss our relationship with work and its role in our lives.

We discuss Amarnath's game tester experience and his interview story at Rockstar Games (GTA VI Hype!). More stories about playing with bots, unhealthy addiction to MMOs, and the complexity of games.

We talk about video games, game company sales strategies, esports players' capabilities, and the mental framework professional esports players need to have, along with some fun tidbits about RPGs, RTSs, and difficulty in video games.

In this episode, we have a fun conversation about what we would do if we came across a lot of cash! We also discuss capability and the lack thereof, mental strength, and scientifically tackle whether fate is real!

We discuss - our childhood experiences of bursting crackers during Deepavali - why we don't anymore - and how it can get annoying to listen to loud sounds. We also discuss possible ways to overcome it.

Two Bengaluru Boys conversate on reasoning. They discuss flaws in logic, cats stealing slippers, and what makes for a bad movie.

Two Bengaluru Boys get chatting about stand-up. They discuss crass comedy, visualization, and how hard it is to come up with jokes that can make people laugh.
