Binary Jazz

In the first episode of the new decade we tackle Amita -- which Gary thinks is a type of nut that has a shell softer than a pecan, while Chris links it to the Amitaville horror. Along the way we talk about one-hit wonders, what qualifies and what doesn't, and whether being a one-hit wonder would be a good or bad thing. Also: inspiring "no"s.

This episode was recorded on the day after the Impeachment vote for President Trump. We apologize in advance for talking about politics. We also talk about pyramids which sort of makes up for it. Also, speaking backwards and height differences.

In this episode we attempt to decrypt the mysterious abbreviation POSSLQ, which may be POSSibly Lesbian, Queer or Potential Offset of Social Situations Laying Quietly or Presentation of Secretly Solicited LiQuor. Along the way we talk about the difference between social studies and history, gun ownership and how that affects social relationships for kids, what Q really means and, in particular, what EQ stands for. Also: bots that save the world.

We're back! And to commemorate getting towards the end of our second season of Binary Jazz, we decided to do a "greatest misses" episode, where we revisit some of our most obscure topics to see if we still remember what they were, during which we end up rehashing some of the same conversations and theorized answers that are 100% incorrect.

In this episode we talk about weather and geography, zombies and the ice wall in northern Canada that keeps the zombies out. We try to determine what a "peduncle" is: a card game you learn from your grandfather, a situation where your uncle is younger than you or crossing the street, a maneuver in sports, a worthless hand in cards, a fake-out in golf, or a midwest term to describe something that's a cross between a pickle and a conundrum. We also decide to have a year-end episode where we review things we've covered in the past and still don't know. Also, dance moves at gun point and top four movies that describe ourselves.

We talk about voice assistive technology, the future, Utah and clever wine names. We try to determine whether Latham Loops are a sewing technique, a type of lens, a part of the foot or a poor programming technique. Also spam and gender-bending a popular TV trio with the Binary Jazz cast for Halloween.

In this episode, we talk about what Parkinson's Law isn't, science fiction TV shows and how to be a time traveler. Food makes an appearance but only because of Pavlov.

Today we talk about legendary mumble-mumble, Clarence Birdseye and his contributions to mumble-mumble. Also, capitalism!, Gary lives in an Animal Planet TV show and unexpected songs we may or may not have memorized.

In this episode we discuss raccoons, chili peppers and speaking with authority about things you don't know (which is everyday for us). Also, competitive eating.

The distance from the center of a 0 to the round part, a movement of individuals advocating for pioneering habitation on Mars, or the description of movement of pioneers, who knows? This episodes discusses the correct occupation to have when you are playing Oregon Trail, core rope memory and ultimately devolves into an extremely geeky developer conversation that you can probably skip. We then talk about the highlight of our weeks which is also very developer-centric, so probably you can just skip this episode entirely if you’re not one.
