We’re back from a hiatus to discuss 90s pop phenomenon, Natalie Imbroglio. That’s right, isn’t it? Also, lesser known chess moves and delicacies, Yellowstone, grocery store flan, bachelor/bachelorette food, and NASCAR club. We also play Dalai Lama or Dolly Parton.

In this episode, we meet Gary’s evil twin, Barry, podcasts, what makes a good falafel and what the topic is 100% not. Chris spends a lot of energy describing the type of creature an egregore you might meet in a dungeon is. Also, cool stuff on the side of the road, fibonacci estimates and the Colbert Questionert.

We took a break! Did you miss us? In this episode we discuss Gary’s fountain and Chris channels his inner Dr. Seuss. We discuss how when two schisms like each other very much, they get together and create a new schism. Also: proper t-shirt rotation, colorful computing and cooking with Gary.

This is supposed to be a picture of Gary’s fountain. See if you can find the fountain in the picture.

Gary brings a topic this week and Allison and Chris wonder if the topic is relating to the moods of twins, cake or the balancing of stairs. Also, passion about chili, the wrong way to cook an omelette, wooden spoons, choose your own adventure foods…basically we talk about food a lot.

Are we professionals? In this episode, we discuss the important topics like ETFs, weather anomalies, counting in binary and unfortunately-named restaurant chains. Is today’s topic a BevMo for drugs? or a cornucopia of meat? The only way to find out is to listen to this episode. Also: Gary might be in the middle of a tornado, we’ll see if he gets blown away.

In this episode, Gary and Chris agree, at least, that Hirameki is Japanese in origin. Beyond that, there is no agreement as to weather it refers to a composer/painter/poet, a construction adhesive or a seaweed paste used as a filling for sandwiches. Also, being a smart-ass in high school, food, mispronouncing words that you’ve only known from books, problems with reverb and experimental music. If you are Gary’s High School teacher who knew him as Asparagus, please get in touch with us!

In this episode we talk about the lesser-known platform game Chthonic the Naked Mole Rat, things that are of or related to thongs, a treatment process for metal, or a company that manufactures lithium ion batteries.

Gary brings the topic and quickly regrets it. The rest of the episode, we discuss edge-case gods, the imposter syndrome of being an artist, zombie apocalypses and is it good to me {your name}? Also “state of flow”, being in therapy vs having a podcast and being a Loafman.

Chris brings the topic this episode which we mostly avoid talking about (until the end). Instead, we talk about the universe making us feel small, Madeleine L’Engle, shows that don’t age well, shows that are actually good, Apple’s humanism and writing software. Also Snoop Dogg and rocks.
