The “Do One Thing Everyday That Scares You” Pledge

July 5, 2013July 10, 2013 Shaun

Eleanor Roosevelt once said “Do one thing everyday that scares you.” Where the normal person reads this quote and probably considers it somewhat neat and moves on, I read it and consider it completely life changing. Hence, the “Do One … Continue reading The “Do One Thing Everyday That Scares You” Pledge

Gray Areas

Gray Areas is a pop culture extravaganza with a live weekly podcast every Thursday night, daily Let's Play videos, and a bevy of old blog posts for your enjoyment.

The current crew includes Chris, Dave and Shaun, who have been there since the beginning, and Cody, who joined in 2021. We also have other contributors like Michaela who chip in from time to time.

We cover everything from video games, anime and movies to music, books and idiots in the news.

This whole thing was started as At the Buzzer in February 2011, the brainchild of three men desperate for attention. It became Objection Network in 2017 and then this in 2024. It’s slightly related to an old Flagstaff radio show from 2008, kinda like how Frasier was slightly related to Cheers. In other words, we're all getting old and it's a little depressing.
