Mark is back in Minnesota, and Grant has two unrelated tangents to discuss.

Note: Due to travel, this episode was not as painstakingly pored over while editing like usual, so apologies for any issues.

Mark brings a Rabbits Against Magic comic. What inventions are useful? Do we need a sarcasm font? How about transparent toasters? How much would they cost?

Grant brings a Speed Bump comic. Your hosts disagree on what constitutes banter, but they both feel it’s good for the show, regardless of how wary that ideal is reached.

Mark has some soda. After a bit of dithering about ginger, Mark explains his tiredness in connection to Star Wars.

Grant brings a Baldo comic. After a Firefly recommendation, Mark waxes nostalgic about Spongebob and other shows of his youth. Grant is emotionally attached to Chuck, and Mark was a nerd as a kid.

Mark brings The Gentleman’s Armchair. Personification of characters and indictments of TED Talks abound.

It’s a wild one, folks. Your hosts are feeling a bit goth (or emo?) and potpourri of topics follows.

Mark brings The Other End, and eventually gets to talk about juice. Grant doesn’t drink much of it, and it’s bad for his dental hygiene. Your hosts consider funding opportunities.

Grant brings a Cornered comic to talk fake words. Mark and Grant disagree on what good fake words are, and Grant receives a compliment.

Mark has a few observations to make, although Grant does not find them as universally accepted. Energy bills and adjectives are also discussed.

Grant brings a Questionable Quotebook comic. After a brief aside on erasers and a classroom story from Mark, an argument is formed about how your hosts communicate with each other. Analogies and metaphors are stretched to their limits, and nothing is ever resolved. Again.

Mark brings an Imogen Quest comic to focus on a comment that puts internet intellectual superiority on full display. Down the rabbit hole your hosts go as they narrowly avoid starting a potential Twitter feud.

It’s hotter than blazes, so Mark might be in all sorts of moods. Grant has some personal technology problems, and everyone learned.

Mark brings The Gentleman’s Armchair. A brief critique about art spirals into middle school flashbacks, and nobody finds out why the comic was chosen in the first place.

Grant brings a Brewster Rockit comic. Mark explains the plot of the Piña Colada song, then divulges his stress-eating habits. Grant questions whether it’s true stress-eating. After nominal disagreement, some sort of conclusion is reached. Maybe.

The intro is a beautiful conglomeration of all your hosts’ interests, fears, and desires.

Grant brings a Drabble comic to talk about experience and qualifications. What are they even? What’s the point of the education system? Mark makes an argument for structured learning, and Grant doesn’t disagree.

Regretfully, your hosts move on to Mark’s comic: Robbie and Bobby. After some linguistic pedantry, a brief discussion of phone books is followed by a story. A new hashtag is created.

Mark has two things, but the second one is chosen to go first. New tires, new snacks; it’s an exciting time. Further commentary on quarantine is made, although it’s slightly more positive this week.

Mark brings Dark Side of the Horse. He just wants to talk about mini-golf, but it quickly turns into a broader conversation about social interaction. Bowling, anyone?

Grant brings a Red and Rover comic. Mark assumes the conversation will go towards sauerkraut, but it veers towards tasty snacks and treats.

Our first ever second time guest back for the first time. After a brief discussion about dreams, the boys get into it.

Grant brings The Duplex to dive straight into relationship talk. Do you make real friends when you have a significant other? Or does it all fall apart like a flimsy house of cards? Grant’s reactions to Matt and Mark sound like there’s been trouble in paradise before.

Matt brings a Dilbert comic to keep things simple. Which of your hosts and guests have a comfortable work environment?

Mark brings a Nick and Zuzu comic for a deep-dive into very specific word connotations. It’s not exciting, but it’s definitely content.

Mark comes in hot with YouTube recommendations for these lonely times, while your hosts both describe why weird schedules are weird.

Mark brings a Real Life Adventures comic. Mark likes model planes, while Grant made a kite. Boomerangs are a significant accomplishment.

Grant brings Moderately Confused and refuses to do any work on his own for the first few minutes. Eventually he brings up camping, and then quickly pivots to pandemic-related logistics.

Mark measures things positively and went to the store. Work has gotten crazier for both hosts.

Grant brings an AJ and Magnus comic, and Grant wonders how cavalier Mark is at work with implementing his own ideas. It turns out both hosts think they’re reasonable, but Grant has to be more careful.

Mark brings a Frazz comic, and Grant is confident in his ability to tell a story. Who cares about kids anyway?
