This might be the quickest turnaround from recording to editing in the history of this podcast. Hooray for no editing! Enjoy my unpolished ramblings on stuff! Let's go!
Pat rambles on museum trips, THPS regret, songs sounding the same, how to use streaming services, and poor taste.

Academy of Natural Sciences
We really thought the boy would be excited about the museum because he loves dinosaurs. And once we got in there, he had a good time. And it was nice to be back there after so long. The mrs and I did decide to go back one day on our own so we can actually see the things, but overall I'd call this a good outing (a pair of meltdowns notwithstanding).
Mail: Do you regret buying THPS 3+4?
Thank you for this question, because I do love talking about Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. I wouldn't say I regret buying the game, because I still have fun playing it. But the 8/10 reviews are a bit silly. It is the exact same gameplay from five years ago, and the three new levels are not good. Not a complete miss, because Vicarious Visions really nailed the gameplay engine, but 3+4 isn't as great as it could be. And that is the real shame for the community.
Mail: Do your songs sound similar on purpose?
A real musician might be insulted by this question, but I was not and I thank you for asking it. The main thought I have when putting music and lyrics together is this: Does this sound like the idea I had in my head? If that answer is either "yes" or "it's as close as I can get" then I roll with whatever the sound is.
The use of streaming services
I do not recall who made this post, but thank you. People use streaming services to replace their collection, then lose their minds when certain songs disappear. If you have a copy of the song at your disposal, keep it in whatever format you can. That is yours and you should not cede ownership to the whims of rich people. Use the app in your fancy gadget to discover the tunes, then go buy them so they're yours forever!
patpeeve: Coke or Pepsi
Thanks to the person who asked for an unserious patpeeve, because this was fun. No, Coke and Pepsi do not taste the same. If you truly believe this, one of us has bad tastebuds and it isn't me. Go see your local Oral Pathologist and get that fixed! And grab me a Coke on your way back!

And that, as we say, is that! Thank you for joining me once again! If you have contributed to the show in anyway - even if only by listening - thank you so much. I couldn't do this without you and I am eternally grateful that you're here.
Next week, we'll have the best of 2025. After that? We'll learn together! Come on back and until then, don't do anything I wouldn't do!
Crap open a cold one!
