Moral of the Story - To Where and Back Again

Greetings,

Thus, we bring season six to a close.  It was a great ride, capped off by one of the most thematically inclusive season finales I have ever seen.  "To Where and Back Again" calls upon lessons learned through more than half of season six and thus several other episodes from previous seasons by extension.  In th...

I've been down on my luck for too long and looking for any way to turn it around.  Upon receiving a warning that the changeling ...

Merry Christmas everyone!

Here's a cover of "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" in the style of Thur Ravenscroft.  As requested by The Kanbazia on Patreon.  Thanks to him for his support in making this video possible.

Thanks also to Sasha Lace who did the mixing, somehow making it work despite my choice of instru...

Moral of the Story - Where the Apple Lies

Greetings,

In today's edition of Moral of the Story, we're going to take a look at the consequences of solving a problem through dishonesty in it's most basic form - as it was presented in "Where the Apple Lies."

I'm also going to discuss the implications of assisting others in their lies and how you can potentially share respons...

A Buck to the Face - Where the Apple Lies

In retrospect, I do wish I had found a better way to get out of that hospital that wasn't straight to the ground from the third-story window. Ouch.

This episode had me genuinely frustrated and even a tad confused. Mostly because there's nothing I hate worse than a liar. So while there were a lot of funny parts, my experience was mostly...

Moral of the Story - Pony Point of View

Greetings,

Today let's revisit the issue of proper communication in problem solving and the damage that we can do by holding grudges. "Pony Point of View" showed us exactly what it means to examine situations from multiple perspectives and gave some vague suggestions on how to deal with differing interpretation of the people and events...

A Buck to the Face - Pony Point of View

Did I ever mention how much I hate open waters?  I can barely swim and that I can't fly away from it and there's too many things that could be lurking even just below the surface.  But that's not going to stop be from trying to get the perfect shot.

I loved this episode's moral and it was hilarious all the way through.  ...

Moral of the Story - Every Little Thing She Does

Greetings,

"Every Little Thing She Does" reminded us of the importance of being honest as well as showed us what happens when we try to force friendship.  In this video, I talk about what it means to force friendship and show how Starlight Glimmer has been guilty of this in each of it's main forms.

I also revisit the topic o...

A Buck to the Face - Every Little Thing She Does

You can imagine that was especially shocking to me on account of I can't swim. Also, taking a hydraulic pile-driver onto a concrete fountain is pretty unpleasant on my already bad back.

I spent most of my time watching this episode initially somewhere between a startled gasp and laughing my tail off. The implications of making a live bird from an...

Moral of the Story - Viva Las Pegasus

Greetings,

Today I'd like to revisit the topic of falsifying friendship for your own personal gain. We've seen something similar in "Twilight Time", "Twilight's Kingdom" and "Princess Spike." But this time, we see what happens when we fail to be truthseekers and allow ourselves to lose faith in our loved ones. 

I also talk a...

A Buck to the Face - Viva Las Pegasus

This is why I don't like arcades. They suck you in with moderate amounts of fun made to seem better by enticing prizes that are impossible to achieve. Next thing you know, you've wasted a whole day and a ton of money on one game.

I'm definitely with Applejack and Fluttershy as far as the appeal of big cities that focus more on parties ...

Moral of the Story - The Fault in our Cutie Marks

Greetings,

In today's edition of Moral of the Story, let's talk about the importance of finding your purpose as well as some good techniques for doing so and what to do once you've found it.

In addition, keep in mind that you were put on this planet for the reason I state at the beginning of the video - to serve a purpose that betters...

A Buck to the Face - The Fault in our Cutie Marks

I think the better question is how the heck Sohma manage to grow a banana that big and what state of mind she must exist in to think that making it into a boat was a good idea.

I had a lot of fun watching this episode. It was only slightly detracted by the fact that while watching it, I was a little on edge with the idea that they might thro...

Moral of the Story - Buckball Season

Greetings,

I've done some pretty cool things, if I do say so myself. But they certainly weren't all positive. Today, I'd like to tell you about a mistake I often made as a sports coach which relates to the scenario of "Buckball Season." This being that even if a method of coaching and motivating your friends or students is effective, it is n...

A Buck to the Face - Buckball Season

Goldenfox: "Game on."

Admittedly, that was some pretty poor sportsmanship on my part.

I found this episode interesting throughout and it kept me guessing as to who was going to play the game as well as the result. I really liked the idea of Snails being zen. Whether or not Snails achieved this state intentionally is (although unlikely...

Moral of the Story - Dungeons and Discords

Greetings,

Today's lesson builds on a few lessons we've gone over before. From "Make New Friends But Keep Discord", "Scare Master" and "28 Pranks Later", we examine why it's important to keep your ego in check while making new friends and trying something new. I also talk about the potential consequences in surrounding yourself with the wr...

A Buck to the Face - Dungeons and Discords

This is why we shouldn't let me play tabletop RPGs. I thought we went over this back when I reviewed Ponyfinder. My base instinct is going to be to make the goofiest thing possible with the base character stats and see how many people I can annoy through the whole time.
Also, at what point is it a good idea to bring a sword with "unwieldable" ...

Moral of the Story - The Times They Are A Changeling

Greetings,

In this edition of Moral of the Story, I'd like to talk about "The Times They Are A Changeling", which can potentially serve as a reminder that regardless of how bad a group may seem, we should always treat people as individuals because we never know who will be an exception to the stereotypes. Even in groups or cultures who are ...

A Buck to the Face - The Times They Are A Changeling

Unintentional racism!
As far as I know, nobody heard us talking. Why on God's green Earth would you drop your disguise like that?

It was a very interesting episode with a very complex moral that I'll get to in the next video. Mostly revolving around the fact that I can't tell if we should trust Thorax yet or not. It's still entirely possi...

Moral of the Story - 28 Pranks Later

Greetings,

There's a right and a wrong way to prank someone as well as a right and wrong person to prank. Today I'd like to talk about the difference between these things, how to spot them and why it's important to heed the signs. As we can unintentionally do a lot of damage through this. Unless you intentionally do this type of damage to pe...

A Prank to the Face [GONE WRONG] - 28 Pranks Later

There's a few acceptable ways to give someone a pie and none of them involve launching it in their face. Even if it wasn't annoying, it's a waste of pie.

While the previous episode "Cart Before The Ponies" had a questionable moral that a lot of people found annoying because of the way that the main six acted in it, I could still enjoy it for...

Moral of the Story - The Cart Before The Ponies

Greetings,

I don't know how many of those listening have been on either side of this situation before (although it may be a safe wager that more people have been the victim of this kind of bad teaching). But today I'd like to talk about the implications and consequences of teaching with selfish motivations and the various forms it can come ...

A Buck to the Face - The Cart Before The Ponies

If you're just going to be a music major than you especially need to make sure that you're versatile in many skills. You'll find a way to link them all back to your passion if you're creative enough. Also having a lot of knowledge on a subject won't always save you. Take it from the voice of experience.

Not a lot of people liked this epis...

Moral of the Story - Stranger Than Fanfiction

Greetings,

On this episode of Moral of the Story, I'd like to talk about what it means to debate something you're passionate about with a friend, how important are the attitudes we take towards each other during this as well as how to understand the stakes involved and how to prioritize ourselves accordingly.

A Buck to the Face - Stranger Than Fanfiction

You see a lot of interesting things at conventions. I've probably been to somewhere between ten and fifteen. I have not once seen a ball pit. I heard about it at Dash-Con. But I think it's safe to say we all know what that was like.

The first half of this episode was surprisingly accurate to the congoing adventure. And I'm very surprise...

Choice of Strength Contest Finale

Greetings,

Congratulations and thank you to everyone who participated and got stronger as a result. I can only hope that you don't let the challenges end here.

Sorry this took so long to get uploaded. I took on way too many projects again. I had help with a lot of them initially but after a series of unfortunate events I ended up havi...

Moral of the Story - Spice Up Your Life

Greetings,

"Spice Up Your Life" gave me a lot to talk about. The lessons it presents weave into each other in a way that can make it difficult to see the transitions. But it touched on subjects of staying true to yourself, taking criticism, giving criticism, how to understand trends in culture, how to work with your surroundings. So in this i...
