31:05Vicki Sokolik refuses to be an Ostrich. Her son brought to her attention the crisis of unhoused youth — youth unhoused, not living with a parent/guardian, and not in foster care — in America, and she has been fighting to support this vulnerable population every since. Most active in Tampa Bay, Florida, Vicki is the founder and CEO of the nonprofit Starting Right, Now, which removes barriers for unaccompanied homeless youth to cultivate long-term well-being and self-sufficiency. She is also the author of the new book, “If You See Them: Young, Unhoused, and Alone in America.” Vicki Sokolik joined host Jay Ruderman to discuss the many ways unhoused youth fall through the cracks in our society, how her organization helps them, and also how to build trust with people who could use your help. Episode Chapters (00:00) Intro (01:10) Vicki’s origin story (02:40) What is “unhoused youth?” (06:40) What should a person do if they worry they see an unhoused youth? (08:19) How have conversations around unhoused youth changed in Vicki’s 20 years working with them? (11:02) How do people get the word out and help unhoused youth? (14:55) Vicki’s new book (16:48) How Vicki builds trust (20:10) What do students receive at Starting Right, Now? (22:58) How does Vicki balance advocacy and direct support?

×A day late, a dollar short, and two couch cushions bigger than before… Fantasy Feeder is a place we’ve been to maybe once before. Or maybe twice if you’re from THAT loaf. But what’s important is that we never ever get full anymore so you may as well watch as our bellies grow comically large and our asses get really really tall all because some sinister uh… clerk at a store puts us in a dress that’s too small I guess? This episode is about people who fetishize fatness so much they ruin other people’s day and self-esteem for their own gratification. This week, Extra Credit doesn’t care if you don’t get our Homestar Runner references.…

Synchronicity is apparently when something is almost but not quite a coincidence or something. Look it really doesn’t matter. What does matter is that when things happen it’s only because all things were destined to give me a tingly feeling in the back of my head. That’s why I go to reddit and tell everyone how freaky it is that sometimes I remember my dog. Look, I dunno what to say about this one, it’s literally about nothing even within the context of the community r/synchronicity which seems to be a subreddit about nothing. This week, Extra Credit’s alarm went off for American Spirit.…
alt.horror.werewolves was once a place where Usenet members could post about werewolf movies. Then a bunch of furries took over and started talking exclusively about being werewolves. In order to get people to stop expecting discussion about horror movies and instead expect serious discussion about someday seeing the real them in the mirror and how lycanthrope and theriomorph are interchangeable or something, the new cool kids decided to put up a Frequently Asked Questions page to address all the times someone has asked “wait do you really think you’re a wolf?” or “hey why is this .horror and not .spirituality or something?” The result is people in the late 90s and early 00s meeting up in Ohio to jump over fire. This week, Extra Credit learns to were is human, to wolf divine. Pictures from the 1995 Howl…
Jesus loves the little forum users. Probably. The Christian Teen Forums is a place on the internet that begs the question “A forum for Christian Teens? What could possibly go wrong?!” And then you read it and you say “Oh right. Obviously all of this could possibly go wrong. And has!” You have your doctrinal disputes, your decades outdated pop-culture concerns, your former teens that grew into adults and never left the forum… And it all mixes together into a frothy spiritual soup where everyone is trying to prove the teenagers on the other side of their screens are the actual stupid ones. So… It’s pretty much the internet. This week, Extra Credit is starting a Christian Clan at SOCOM 4. Art c/o Vampire Software…

The 90s: A time of Tamagotchis, Talkboy tape recorders, and, yes, magazines about video games. These relics of a bygone era form the heart of our culture in a way only consumerism can manage. Some come along with us as we travel twixt the years 1991 and 2001 through words and song, though with the level of lyricism in magazines such as PC Accelerator, Gamepro, Official Playstation Magazine, Electronic Gaming Monthly, and so some more. Come for the classic 90s audio quality, stay for the classic 90s misogyny! This week, Extra Credit wonders what if Waluigi did 9/11 to Dolphin Zelda.…

Part 2 crew, the B-team, the idea that keeps on giving… In this part, a bunch of us go back through old documents and read stuff that had been skipped over, or we dug deeper and found more new things to read that were even worse. See, we finally got around to it! Some of it… Stress brought back the Crying Lovers’ Forum: The Crying Came Dijon brought back Giles English: Giles English Strikes Again Gany brought back Hypnoponies: One Trick Pony Mix brought back zity.biz: Curse of the Mummy’s Tube ; With Enemas Like These Who Needs Friends? Shell brought back r/dirtypenpals: Only the Preambles to Porn…

Wow! 200 episodes! And yes we did do 200 episodes. Real fans know. The rest will just have to deal. Today Shell asks some of our newest readers with the oldest roots about their ancient forays into the internet of yore. Turtle, Positronic, and Spaced God take us back to a time when the community and shippers shaped the experience, rather than an algorithm and shippers. Let’s take a journey to the seeds of the seeds of this podcast, won’t we?…

1:29:57Pokemon on the internet? That must mean sexy sex gross fetish stuff, right? Wrong. Well, mostly right but in this case it’s wrong. We challenged doc makers to construct a document about pokemon in which nothing sexual or fetishy was happening and dammit we eventually got there. Mostly. Gany and Likely JUST Dijon might have cheated a little. Whatever, the point is this episode is about pokemon in a non-sexual sense which makes it the rarest content online. This week, Extra Credit is going to ask the other elves what their majors are. Shell’s depiction Ashto’s depiction the lizzerd’s depiction…
You might all think the internet is just a place for messy queer representation and inflated Chilly (Bluey’s mom, keep up people) but actually the internet is filled with examples of brave souls trying to save American society from itself. The ChildCare Action Project: Christian Analysis of American Culture Ministry (CAP Ministry) is a place to find objective numerical scoring of how evil a piece of film media is, from the devilish depths of Matilda to the perfection of Mary Poppins, using a strictly objective system in which six different types of immorality are represented by six thermometers. Like in thermometers, you subtract points from 100 for the presence of sin within a film and then you derive some kind of average or something and multiply by length in case you don’t watch all of the movie. Confused? Probably because you’re steeped in sin. Come over to our side and see the light of this nonprofit ministry that is definitely not just applying a fascist brand of Christianity to film criticism. This week, Extra Credit isn’t paying any mind to trumped up claims of some moral message that try and hide the fact that sin has been demonstrated on screen.…

AI chat bots are everywhere, and yet the one place dudes on the internet still can’t manage to get is in their pants. Replika is one of the more bullshit of bullshit AI friends, in that it promises to be unique to you rather than just dump all the data when you close the session. Except it totally does still do that, which means every time a guy tries to goad his Replika into enacting his cuckold fantasies, he’ll just have to do it all over again the next time thus prolonging the denial, making cuckoldry one of the only things AI is consistently good at. Anyway the rest of the dudes here mostly type the way they think and then Replika doesn’t want to fuck them. Isn’t that strange? This week, Extra Credit *looks down*.…
Above Top Secret is a conspiracy theory website where everyone types exactly how you expect them to and their forum design is exactly as bizarre as you would expect it to be if you expected it to be anything beyond two too bright colors. But that doesn’t matter. You know what matters? Reel Big Fish. I mean short stories and poetry. Dammit. Look we get a little distracted this episode and we might spend quite a bit of time discussing Reel Big Fish. This week Extra Credit can pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, but we really should just let it drop.…

Hey did you know there are other tabletop games you could play that aren’t Dungeons and Dragons? If the answer isn’t “uh, obviously” then you probably have a vague idea that maybe some kind of superhero-based game exists or something and you’re just not ready for something that complex, so you’ll just stick to the classics. Also you’ll append literally anything to it to ensure you don’t actually have to play the base game. Actually you just want to be horny. D&D Beyond is where you go to be told by Hasbro to pay money for information that’s available online elsewhere anyway, but of particular interest to us are the freely accessible user-submitted homebrew entries, from character archetypes to classes to spells to you name it. Well you’ll probably name it something like “Absorb Dragon of the darkness flame” but still… This week, Extra Credit is ACTUALLY A PLUG HEY LISTEN AT THE END BECAUSE IRONICUS HAS SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT. It’s an audio drama. The Audio Drama, freely available: https://www.lydiadisappears.com/ The Patreon to fund even more: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/foxbot/the-disappearances-of-lydia-fountayne Funding closes July 2nd, so hurry up and give a hand won’t you?

In this short (genuinely a short!), Frank West shares with us the final entry in an edition of the Year’s Best Fantasy collection. Enjoy?
Five Nights at Freddy’s was a bad jump scare horror game about animatronic mascot characters who kill you or something. This trend has exploded into a disgustingly bloated pustule of fan games and ripoffs to the point that Secret Gaygent 69 plays them for us sometimes and he never runs out of content. So we’re gonna read a document that’s descriptions and comments pertaining to a bunch of these horrendous games, some of which have been in continued development for 10 years. This week, Extra Credit is normalizing Guelph Mean Time.…
