The Curated Catastrophe - Sports As A Metaphor. Or Not.
September 7, 2025 2:00pm
While grasping around for a show-theme this week, Malderor was not particularly inspired. As such, he chose "Sports Language As A Metaphor For Other Things" which was discussed in a pre-production call with Shey. The message, however, didn't sink in, and we ended up with a program that was half songs about sports, and half songs using sports terms metaphorically. Also worth noting, Malderor didn't particularly like this theme from the get-go, and just sort of grinds it out, and some sets don't have a lot of follow-through. (We bench the worst set of songs early.) Some redemption comes toward the end, but overall, it's a shaky performance on the mound. While he didn't exactly choke, it wasn't one for the record books. Oh, Shey does put together a quality segment of theme-songs from televised sporting events, to test Malderor's non-sporto knowledge of such things. Check it out on the podcast!
