Vladyslav Heraskevych
Vladyslav Heraskevych’s journey from pioneering Olympic skeleton racer to the center of an international rules dispute takes focus as Rachel Teichman, LCSW, and King Supernuts, VCV, read through his story. The episode explores the controversy surrounding his “helmet of memory,” which featured 24 Ukrainian athletes killed in the Russian invasion and ultimately led to his disqualification under Rule 50 of the Olympic Charter. As the two move through the aftermath — including appeals, public reactions, and the slogan “Remembrance is not a violation” — the discussion highlights how remembrance, regulation, and sport collided on the Olympic stage.

Tic-tac-toe
Published 17 Feb 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] It is a solved game, with a forced draw assuming best play from both players. Gameplay. Tic-Tac-Toe is played on a 3x3 grid by two players who alternately place the marks X and O in one of the nine spaces in the grid. There is no universally agreed rule as to who plays first, but in this article, the convention that X plays first is used. Also in the game that we are creating, X plays first. Just so you know, everybody, don't get freaked out. Oh, I'll freak out. Players soon discover that the best play from both parties leads to a draw.
