1 month ago | maximumfun.org | Jesus Ambrosio

Episode notes Charlotte Nicdao stars on the Apple TV+ comedy Mythic Quest. It’s a show about a video game company, but it’s not really about video games. It’s a workplace comedy, but think less The Office, more The Larry Sanders Show. Everyone on the show cares deeply about the thing they’re working on. It’s the massive online role-playing fantasy video game Mythic Quest.

Jan 21, 2025 | maximumfun.org | Jesus Ambrosio

Episode notes Rapper Denzel Curry was born and raised in Miami, but his music doesn’t really sound like he’s from Miami. You might hear a little bit of Trick Daddy or Pitbull’s influence trickle in every now and then, but you’re just as likely to hear him pull from Waka Flocka Flame, Outkast, or Three Six Mafia. Now admittedly – he’s a young guy. The 29-year old grew up with every song ever at his fingertips.
