Talking About Animal Emotions, Safety Camp, Johnny Depp and Movie Reboots, and How Mental Health Can Affect Your Career – Episode 357 – Friends Talking Nerdy

Episode 357 of Friends Talking Nerdy with Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd delves into an eclectic mix of topics that appeal to the curious and the nerdy alike. In this episode, Tim the Nerd kicks off the discussion with an exploration of the emotional journey animals undertake when brought to places like doggy daycares. His insights shed light on the often-overlooked experiences of our furry companions in such environments. Professor Aubrey then shifts gears, sharing her excitement about an upcoming event called Safety Northwest. She elaborates on how this event equips individuals with the necessary skills to handle various scenarios, particularly those encountered in settings like Burning Man or Soak, ensuring safety and preparedness in unconventional environments. The conversation takes an intriguing turn as Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd delve into the reboot of Pirates of the Caribbean, notably without Johnny Depp. Tim the Nerd offers his perspective on this development, reflecting on his evolving interests in movies currently gracing theaters, a departure from his usual cinematic enthusiasms. Wrapping up the episode, the duo dives into a thought-provoking article from Psychology Today titled “Is Your Mental Health Hurting Your Career?” by Samuel L. Pauker MD and Mirian Arond. They dissect the intricate relationship between mental well-being and professional success, sparking introspection and dialogue.

The Avengers #55

The Silver Age of Comics has brought about changes in pop culture that will reverberate for years to come. From the two major companies, Marvel and DC, the sheer amount of work they created that is still being mined is amazing. But do they stand the test of time? Not always. To get back in…

The Amazing Spider-Man #529

Definition: Civil War. A war between citizens of the same country. When thinking of Civil War, you think of the Civil War that almost tore the United States apart. Brother against brother. Friends against friend. People that were one day friends were suddenly enemies and looking to murder each other. Marvel Comics had their own…

The Avengers #1

I’ve decided to change things up a bit. For a while I tried reading the first thing that interested me on a particular day. Then I went through the Spider-Island story. From there I’ve been reviewing Ultimate Spider-Man. While I am loving the Ultimate run, I do see the need to kind of have some…

The Amazing Spider-Man #673

All good things, scratch that. All mediocre things must come to an end and we finally reach our end destination in the Spider Island story. To date I have been pretty critical but what would be the point if I just gushed over how amazing everything I read was? If people were honest, they would…

The Amazing Spider-Man #672

We come to the ending, but not the ending if you can believe that, of Spider Island. The big bad of the story meets her apparent doom but thanks to some sloppy writing, I had no clue what the hell was going on with this particular issue. There was no logical reason why everything ended…

The Amazing Spider-Man #669

To start off, I really enjoy the beginning pages of these comics. Like any comic with a multi-issue arc, they have a Previously In…page that sums up the story to date. I like how instead of current Marvel titles that have one picture and a page of text to sum up the story, they incorporate…

The Amazing Spider-Man #668

Another day, another look in the Spider Island story. We pick up where we left off in issue 667 where The Avengers believe that Peter is one of the bad folks wrecking havoc on New York. Shang Chi arrives and lets The Avengers know that the one who’s ass they are kicking is actually Spider-Man…

The Amazing Spider-Man #666

Another day in the life of Peter Park starts out with him swinging through town contemplating how life has changed for him. I liked how it goes back over his history of how he would inadvertently stumble onto a crime scene or have a crime fall into his lap. You get a sense of the…

The Avengers #176

Starhawk arrives at the mansion and asks Iron Man why he was summoned. Iron Man gives him the Cliff’s Notes version of the story so far and enlists his help. When he’s done telling the story, Starhawk says something that’s on the mind of everyone reading the story by saying he feels the ultimate bad…
