In this episode we debate whether “cabotage” is round, leafy vegetable or refers to sending a taxi (or Uber or Lyft) driver to a place that phone map apps think are accessible but actually aren’t (like deserted roads, lakes, cliffs, rivers, etc). Also LED lights, mechanical keyboards, Gary’s stock pick, alternate timeline Chris and Indian Matchmaker.

In this episode we discuss the weird light fixtures at Gary's new abode, the fact that moving to North Carolina has entirely changed Gary's vernacular, what to do with old couches and the fact that the topic this week obviously must relate to women named Erin. Also, Shut Up Little Man! and other things you do on the internet.

In this episode we avoid talking about a word that sounds like it should have something to do with gentrification — or possibly gin — but definitely has nothing to do with Jenga or a spectacular Jen. Also, Gary’s new house in North Carolina, Letterkenny and webpage marketing.

In this episode we talk about iyamisu, which Gary thinks is something Japanese that describes our way of living, while Chris believes it is a type of cake related to tiramisu. Also Hebrew, whether there are “y’s” in anglicized Japanese, space, and the difference between a terrace and a balcony.

In this episode we officially say “f*** you” to 2020. We also attempt to discuss anodyne, which is the process of colorizing metal, or something to do with airplanes. Also, how is everyone doing? and weird measurements of weight.

In this episode, we discuss Gary’s new occupation as a bucket salesman, and nickname Gary Buckets, which buckets of knowledge are common to Gary and Chris, archaic forms of communication and hula hooping. Also, minute bits of money, Ren Faire street performers and disgusting skin ailments.

We’re back from a brief hiatus (warning: we’ll probably have at least a few more of these since Gary is moving) to talk about Pince-nez (pronounced PONCE-nay), which is either a creole dish that’s rice-based and randomly has cadamom in it, or something steam punk related. Also a guest appearance by Charlotte.

We're back! Or something. This time we're talking about many-eyed optometrists, The Hunger Games and emails you can't unsubscribe from. Also: transactional email is a scam, rental pineapples, how many buckets are the right number and can they be used in place of moving boxes, Florida death beaches and Gary will buy drinks for Geometry teachers.

In this episode, we talk about stentorians, who are people that work with heart stents, or a place where stents are stored. Also, COVID food cravings, disaster movies in 2022 and feeding zoo animals.

In today's almost-cancelled-due-to-technical-difficulties episode, we attempt to find the roots of age and asia and are left wondering if the topic has to do with elderly people in a large Pacific continent. There's some boring tech stuff in there, too, as well as a quiz: Meal or Snack.
