Binary Jazz

Content warning: DON'T LISTEN WHILE MAKING DINNER!

In this episode, we skip the topic and center the majority of conversation around strange things Gary hasn't shared on the show before. Also, fan mail and a quiz: Lady Macbeth or Lady Gaga?

In this episode we talk about back-alley astronauts, three-headed grandmothers, gamma rays, the Future, giant grammar-correcting robots and good bad movies. Also: shark week and protein.

On the first day of the Post-Mueller-Investigation World, we celebrate by completely bypassing the topic, en passant — which Gary identifies as a chess move almost immediately — and instead spend the bulk of the episode talking about Wikipedia, chess and college hijinks.

This week, Gary and Chris look at Bloom's Taxonomy, which is a lie, because most of this episode is spent talking about the first Democratic debate and why there are too many candidates. Also, we discuss a new related web series, comedy and which TV sitcom family we'd like to be in.

Today we all become hermits to discuss the topic which is about pants and the study of pants (English or American). Also, stuff that’s in the fridge and inspirational advice for the world in 30 seconds or less.

In this episode, we mostly discuss how to make the show more Lynchian. Also Zzyzx and the community of the Syzygy in northern Ontario, and syzygists that attend conferences and retreats to order people by size for company photos. Our listener question comes from Henry T. Garcia, "Tom", from CentTip asking about our revenue-generating plans which spirals off into looking at site statistics.

In this episode, we discuss a particular shade of green named for the mountains of France and a pitch for non-ball-related sports. Also, Allison disappears so Chris starts talking about Dark Sun, and sci-fi technologies we'd most want in real life. Gary is cut off while his mind is exploding at the scale of how big the universe is. Again.

In this pogo-themed episode, we discuss pogonology, the science of pogo sticks, and debate the true uses of pogons in contemporary society. Also, embarrassing clothing and songs we sing to ourselves when we’re walking through the woods in sandals looking for crocodiles.

In this episode, Gary complains about space, we consider the possibilities of a Binary Jazz board game, discuss historical significance and who history is written by, and engage in some very compelling audio content by playing with Zoom’s new virtual background feature. Also, alternate M&M or potato chip flavors that we’d like to see.
