Binary Jazz

Week something something of quarantine, we’re back with another pandemic episode, this time turning to the magicks of aleuromancy to try to get us through it. We check in on how we’re all doing and talk about jokes that aren’t funny anymore, warn hookup app users to just stop, Gary’s Florida watering habits and what this podcast would be like in the early days of railroad expansion.

In this virus-free episode, we discuss bots, outdated web design practices, accents, phrases that no one uses. Also, the Flehmen Response, which is either a knee-jerk reaction to an idea, or your response to someone sneezing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the proper number of buckets.

In this episode, we completely skirt the topic, instead giving reviews of 90s video games, Professional Dungeon Mastering and crying at work.

In this episode, we play Taylor Swift or Jonathan Swift to see how literate Chris and Gary are about two influential Swifts of our time. Also creepy motels, Florida cold snaps, coronavirus and tin foil hat-wearing and proper cereal consumption.

This is the last episode of Binary Jazz because Chris comes up with a meaning for "coruscation" that is so good that there's no need to do the show anymore. Also, nerdiness, how many holes does a straw have, reality according to Yellow Submarine and why bands don't make movies anymore.

In this episode, we discuss various orb-shaped objects and try to discern the origin of the suffix -culum in an attempt to decipher today's topic. Also, Twitter usage, how to pronounce Buttigieg, a letter from Danette, and our favorite movie in five words. (Spoiler: Gary's is about space.)

We switch roles in this episode and Gary brings us a topic that circles us back to the Trump Impeachment Trial in the US Senate. Also Scouts, of varying kinds, the Great Boston Molasses Flood, Canadian things, Amazon, the likelihood of being pulled over, and the fine line between random and obscure.

In this episode, we only briefly talk about Apgar scores, since both Gary and Chris have children and know what an Apgar test is. Instead, we talk about famous backronyms, speeding tickets and recursion. Also sneezes, soup burnout and “guilty pleasure”.

This episode ranks the fastest correct answer to the topic in the history of the show with Chris breaking out the hidden depths of his sports trivia knowledge. Also, names in general, personalized advent calendars, astrology, gloating and mirrors.

In this episode we debate the fabulous topic of confabulation, which Gary believes to be a lie, whereas Chris thinks that that's too easy and prefers to believe that it means "a lot of stuff". Also we talk about web design things and food. Grab a pickle and enjoy!
