Beyond Caring Podcast

In the final Boston episode before Ada’s transition, Ada(m) and Ada(m) meet up once more for another metal show, talk about Necrovist (who Ada(m) emphatically wants you to know they do not support), and then start to ask the hard hitting questions: Why am I shit at fighting games now? The fighting game talk goes … Continue reading Episode 97 – This Episode Brought To You By Beyond Caring Gin →

The gauntlet continues as the testees are shown the power of mobile PowerPoint, (but no one pays attention,) and the advanced tests push the testees to the limit. Identities are stolen, motor skills are impacted, the entirety of Ghostbusters is watched, and John completely violates the sanctity of the experiment. Brinker forgets how to run … Continue reading Doing It Wrong – Episode 8 – Powerpoint Counts As Work →

Note: This episode was recorded before the Ada swap, just so you don’t think Brinker is being a dick and misgendering her. Ada(m) and Ada(m) talk about a concert that happened last year! Ada(m) picked the show, but Ada(m) had such a good time they put it in their top 5; comparisons to Rob Halford … Continue reading Episode 96 – All Riled Up About Phones →

In honor of Microsoft’s most recent and best failure of an OS, the testees are launching deep into the bowels of the world of Windows 10 Mobile.

Beyond Caring returns from its long hiatus and the absence is explained. Both of our hosts have made some big life changes, and we spend the first chunk of the episode discussing those before we dive right back into the metal with a trip report from a recent concert. bcp095.mp3

The testing continues as Tony brings his ass back to the table. Using Discord turns out to be the ultimate test of motor skills and patience. Doug almost destroyed a breakfast bar, Tony gets twist-tie paper stuck all over his head, and Brad stays creepily quiet while doodling lewd acts on a whiteboard. Cruising for … Continue reading Doing It Wrong – Episode 6 – Samsung Tizen – An OS For Giving Up →

After a quick recap, (because The Testees forgot that they recorded a pre-show,) the testing begins! We find out a surprising revelation about the core back-end of the OS and have tons of fun with cellular radio bands. Doug Clears his mind, Brad struggles to be thorough, and Tony gives up. diwp005.mp3

The Testees are back with a new theme song, (because we lost the other one,) to get the hype train a-rollin on what is surely going to be the hottest OS release of the decade. Before getting into the nitty gritty on actually using Samsung’s shiny new OS, we talk about what we want in … Continue reading Doing It Wrong – Episode 4 – Samsung Tizen – an OS for your phone →

Adam just saw the new, (at the time,) Ant Man movie, so Adam opens up by going through the upcoming movie releases for the year. Adam brings up the Chinese film market again and Adam deals out harsh numbers on the reality of Avatar 2. Adam also is watching all of the Mission Impossible movies … Continue reading Episode 93 – The Iron Is No Longer Hot →

Adam and Adam forget how to plan a podcast and then dive straight into the E3 games that actually have release dates, and both of the Adams are glooming and dooming. Adam doesn’t trust Adam to play fair on assembling top X lists, so Adam pretends to care about football as vengeance. Adam is interested … Continue reading Episode 92 – Save Your Shitty Ammunition →

Update: Adam said he fixed this episode, but then Adam found out that was false and had to fix it himself.  Thank Adam. Adam: Episode is cut (it was a mess) it’s in Podomatic, but I can’t get it to publish – so all you. I’d say I’d take another crack tomorrow after work, but … Continue reading Episode 91 – Delete This File For The True Ending →

Update: Now with fixed sync! The Adams are back to talk beer and bad weather. Somewhere in the middle there is talk of tattoos, Kirby, and some other random bullshit. But it all comes around to Net Neutrality at the end. Fun fact, Net Neutrality still existed when this podcast was recorded. Hopefully you don’t … Continue reading Episode 90 – Hating Comcast is a Bipartisan Issue →

Thanks to Mumble’s shitty stable branch code, editing has become a giant pain in the ass, so Adam doesn’t have time to be descriptive. In this episode, Adam explains synthwave to Adam, the hot new Tenacious D single is mentioned, rumblings of metal occur, then the Adams talk Infinity War. Adam thinks it was pretty … Continue reading Episode 89 – Kirby Moments →

Just to preface, Adam’s software is breaking again, so pardon the static; his house is under active construction too, (foreshadowing.) Adam would kill to have Stringer Bell as a job applicant and Adam’s gainfully employed now! Soon into reminiscing about the first Mass Effect, a surprise Cashman appears and Adam won’t shut up about Synthwave. … Continue reading Episode 88 – Femshep Rocking The Cradle →

Time to talk –oh wait we forgot a digression? Beyond Caring is all over that. Time to talk indie theaters and Moviepass, and oh wait? Talk about a movie you say?

For a change of pace, Adam and Adam dive in pretty quickly to start talking about Black Panther long, long after its release date. As per usual, detours abound as they discuss the nature of Wakandan synthetic meat production. Adam is thrilled that “they finally got one of my fucking villains right.” Some speculation on … Continue reading Episode 86 – Nice Podcast, Colonizer →

Adam and Adam finally talk Justice League. You know it’s going to be an upbeat show when they drop the lowest combined rating that Beyond Caring has ever seen. They work hard to find a couple high points, but the prognosis is grim. Be prepared to hear about how and why everything from the villain … Continue reading Episode 85 – Justice League: It’s Not Good →

Episode 3 – It Just Fell In The Trash The testees move on to the real meat of the challenge: actually living with an iPhone for a week.
