On this episode, Steven Delgado (the governor's son) pulls through and gets the gang on the list for the Night Watch mission. Nero gets weird vibes from Rax, the governor's Warlock, while Nathan and Jurm size up the rest of the competition. As the militia marches towards the forest to investigate "strange occurrences", the gang pumps Steven for information. Is this typical mercenary work, or is there more going on behind the scenes?

Welcome to a new episode of Up & In, the sports podcast from Cult City! In this episode, we discuss game 3 of the NBA Eastern Conference finals, where the Toronto Raptors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers. We intended to stay on the Cavs and Raptors, but of course we get sidetracked talking about the series that everyone wants to talk about, including us: Oklahoma City Thunder vs Golden State Warriors. Can the Thunder recreate game one, with points off turnovers, solid defense, and preventing massive, repeated runs by the Warriors? Or will the rest of the series reflect what the Warriors figured out in game 2? We discuss our thoughts on that. We then go back to the Cavs, talking about LeBron's prowess as a professional flop artist, after he flopped hard following an elbow by his own teammate. We then talked about which NBA players could win an Oscar for acting, and from there, the best sports movies. We end with a few minutes on politics. Zack watched a FOX News one-hour special called "Donald Trump - The

Welcome to a new episode of Dump Stats, an actual play Dungeons & Dragons / PathfinderRPG podcast, starring Bob Beshere, John Chenoweth, Rob Rinaldi and Mike Rinaldi. On this episode, Jurm, Nathaniel and Nero all try to con their way onto the list after their names don't get called for the Night Watch job. Things take an unexpected turn when they learn that they are trying to pull one over on the Governor's son Steven. Nathaniel loses track of his accents and aliases, and the gang all light up some Redroot. As the sun sets, Nero feels his magic powers tingling...or is it just the drugs?

Welcome to a new episode of Up & In, the sports podcast from Cult City! On this episode, Mark and Zack talk about the Thunder vs Spurs series. Zack couldn't have been more wrong, thinking the Spurs would win in five games. It wasn't his initial prediction, but Mark saw a Spurs letdown on the horizon. After that, we discuss the upcoming NBA Western Conference Finals matchup between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Golden State Warriors. It's a series with five of the ten best players in the NBA today: Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson (is that in order?! Who knows?) After that, the discussion turns to politics. It's all about Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren... Sarah Palin makes an appearance, and we briefly discuss Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, who a few people were hoping would run as a third party candidate against Trump. Then, a discussion of the role of ethics in capitalism, and, of course, so much more. Also,

The gang comes together looking for an adventure, and get stuck in a waiting room. Listen every week to follow our adventure and see how long it takes our Dungeon Master (Bob Beshere) to kill the whole party. Break out your bourbon and your bag of dice and lets get stupid!

Welcome to a new episode of Up & In, the sports podcast from Cult City. On this episode, Zack & Mark join up via Skype to talk about the important stories from round two of the NBA playoffs, plus some spirited debating about the Cleveland Cavaliers and how we each think they'll finish out the postseason, where the Oklahoma City Thunder are headed - in the rest of these playoffs and in the future -, how deep the San Antonio Spurs are, and how good the Warriors are, even without Steph Curry. We also talk some about Donald Trump and politics toward the end. The episode began with Zack ranting about going into the Twilight Zone at a local Walmart recently. He detailed his dreams later that night that were filled with... well, we took it out of the podcast to avoid any potential legal issues on down the road. There's a snippet toward the end that will basically tell you all you need to know. Please subscribe to Cult City and be sure to rate and leave us a review as well!

Welcome to a new episode of Therp Sesh! This episode was recorded on Mike's back porch with Zack and Mike's brother Rob. It began with a side of rice from a Chinese restaurant. Rob wanted to eat it, only to look in the fridge and discover that it had been eaten already! We work to get to the bottom of who stole the rice, what the rice having been stolen means, and so much more. As we work to get to the bottom of the rice heist, we visit subconscious projections of our own consciousness onto our perceived reality, Donald Trump's campaign for president, OJ Simpson and "American Crime Story: The People vs OJ Simpson," and so much more. A mannequin or two might even make an appearance. Please subscribe to Cult City and be sure to rate and leave us a review as well!

Then they talk about Pacers vs Raptors and what happens in game 7 in Toronto. Also, Thunder vs Spurs, Blazers vs Warriors, and Zack makes a prediction on how future NBA history has changed with Luke Walton being named head coach of the Lakers (it involves the Lakers, Celtics, Brad Stevens, Lebron James, and more.)

Welcome to a new episode of Up & In, the sports podcast from Cult City! On this go around it's Zack and Mark talking all about the NBA playoffs. We start off, though, talking about Kobe Bryant and his last game with the Los Angeles Lakers. Then, we talk all about the Golden State Warriors record-breaking season and Steph Curry's records (18:00). We also make our playoff predictions for the East (28:00). After making our first round predictions for the East, we talk about how the Warriors will fare in the playoffs (35:00). The over/under on losses for them is 5.5; both Zack and Mark think the total losses will be under. Also, the rest of our predictions in the West (sweeps galore!) Then, we debate whether or not Blake Griffin will carry the Los Angeles Clippers to a championship, and what happens with the Clippers if they flame out in the first round (49:00). We follow that up with some more discussion on North Carolina's HB2 anti-LGBT legislation, other state's anti-LGBT laws, and what the NBA might do ab

Welcome to a new episode of Therp Sesh, one of the many amazing podcasts from Cult City! Zack sits this episode out because he's not a nerd! Mike Rinaldi and Reid Pegram sit down to talk about Netflix's hit show Daredevil. There are some spoilers in here, so listeners beware! The pair give their thoughts on Daredevil seasons 1 and 2, Jessica Jones, and the future of Netflix's shared Marvel Universe. They also talk about superhero movie franchises, including Netflix, Disney's Avengers, and Fox's X-Men, and which ones they actually care about. They also talk about Mad Max and George Miller's last movie Happy Feet, and what it would be like if Happy Feet was actually a post-penguin apocalypse film. There's a little bit of Batman vs Superman in here, but not too much, since that full episode is on its way soon. Please subscribe to Cult City and be sure to rate and leave us a review as well!

Welcome to the latest Cult City presentation of a Clickhole Clickventure. NC recently passed HB2 (which we talked about on an earlier episode). Lots of businesses and sports entities have responded. Bruce Springsteen canceled his concert in Greensboro, NC scheduled for April 10 in response to the bill. How amazing, then, that Clickhole posted a Clickventure all about Bruce Springsteen canceling a concert?! We had to do it! We began by reading his response via his website, then the Greensboro City Counsel's response to HB2, followed by the Clickventure. Can Mike, as the germ, get Bruce Springsteen sick enough to cancel his concert? As sick as Pat McCrory and the North Carolina state legislature? Listen to find out!

Welcome to a new episode of Up & In, the sports show from Cult City! In this episode, it's Zack Levine, Mark Zanetto, and Mike Rinaldi taking you through the world of basketball, including college basketball and the NCAA Tournament and Final Four as well as all of the drama, both on and off the court, in the NBA. We begin by talking about the NCAA Tournament and the Final Four. Mark takes us through each team before we get sidetracked on Zack's hatred of UNC (and Duke, and college basketball), the Coach K issue surrounding his comments to an Oregon player, and Syracuse. Up & In will be broadcasting live from Franklin Street in Chapel Hill when UNC wins (or loses) in the Final. They move on to discuss the Golden State Warriors chasing 73 wins, Steph Curry's response to North Carolina's HB2 discrimination law, and Steph Curry's chase for a historic 50/40/90 & 30-6-5-5 season. Also discussed is the San Antonio Spurs and Gregg Popovich's choices about sitting his starters versus stopping Golden State

Welcome to a new episode of Therp Sesh! In this episode, Cult City takes you to The Beaver Ponds, a place in Greensboro, NC most people don't know exists. Zack recently blew out his leg at work and the monotony of lying around in bed, atrophying away and losing all core strength and support, finally got to him. He grabbed his crutches, walked down to the shore, tied up his hammock, and stared up at the birds. He told Mike to meet him there. Three hours later, Mike showed up with his phone and that's what we used to record. We worked to get a bunch of the leaves and wind and other sounds turned down, so hopefully you find those edits and quality of this episode acceptable! Mike talks about his recent experience camping with his girlfriend, then Zack talks about the severe hit all of his progress in therapy took after he hurt his leg. It triggered all of his anxieties, paranoia, fears, depression, and more. Did a quick, outdoor Therp Sesh surrounded by blue skies, water, and all the nature he could handle help

Welcome to a crossover episode of Therp Sesh and Up & In! In this episode Zack, Mike, and Mark sit down and talk about North Carolina's recently-passed HB2, The Public Facilities Privacy & Protection Act. The sports world, including the NBA, NCAA, and NFL, have responded to various legalized discrimination acts passed by various states. We also talked about the business world's response to the act and give our own takes and responses as well. It's a serious conversation but in true Cult City form it's filled with jokes and laughter. This is something that means a lot to the three of us and something we all resoundingly disagree with, thus we felt the need to address it for all of you wonderful listeners.

Hello basketball fans! It's Up & In, the sports podcast from Cult City! It's been too long since we've been in your ears and we're back to make up for all that lost time with a long one! Zack & Mark talk all about the NCAA tournament, the upcoming Sweet 16, upsets, chalk, and more. Mark makes his case to Zack for why he should watch NCAA basketball and Zack provides a rebuttal. Programming note: We talk NCAA until about minute 27. Then it's NBA for the next hour. Just putting that there in case you'd rather listen to it in two parts or wanna skip ahead or whatever. After that it's all the NBA! Golden State Warriors (of course) and their quest for 73, the San Antonio Spurs, the Spurs victory over the Warriors, and how the rest of the season and playoffs might look for each team. They also talk about the NBA eastern conference, the jumble between the third and sixth spots, the Hornets, and then the Cleveland Cavaliers: where they're going, what Lebron James might do next season, and what is wrong with h

Welcome to a new episode of Therp Sesh, a podcast from Cult City! In this episode, Zack and Mike sit down to talk about trying to better their bodies and minds, but first, Mike wishes there was an app like Tinder for meeting a new friend of the same sex: to hang out with, watch football with, go to a concert with, but definitely not to go down on you. We talk about what that app would be like and give it a name. Then, the guys are trying to get back into shape by eating healthy and exercising. They talk about what they're doing, why they may have failed in the past and how they think things will work out differently this time. Zack has also added meditation into his routine as a way of incorporating a healthy mind into this attempt at a new lifestyle. Zack then discusses something he wanted to get to in the previous episode but didn't: his spiral of negativity. It includes feelings of shame, anxiety, depression and guilt; actions such as eating, self-abuse, and more; and the negative thoughts about himself th

Welcome to a new episode of Up & In, the sports podcast from Cult City! In this episode, Zack Levine and Mark Zanetto went to Charlotte to watch Anthony Davis (and a stellar Jrue Holiday) take on Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Hornets. The Hornets won, with seven players scoring in double digits, but we also got to see incredible performances from Davis and Holiday, who combined for a total of 78 points! We talk a little bit about the game and each team's performance, then we talk a lot about Kemba Walker, his bargain contract with the Hornets, being left out of the NBA All Star game, and his ascent to being one of the game's top point guards. We also talk about Anthony Davis and just how great of a player he is. We talk about his performance that night and we dive deep into his contract situation, where he is the Pelicans' designated contract player, his potential for being named to one of the three All NBA teams this year, and what that means for his bank account (as explained by the NBA's collective ba
