Jonah has us talking about TV. The problem is, we can’t really define the terms. Is the “Golden Age” defined by quantity or quality? Shout outs to: - Lindsay Ellis and her Game of Thrones Video Essay  - The Prequels  - The over-saturated media market  - A return to appointment TV  - Knowing when to [...]

If you could choose four busts to memorialize you - who would you choose? Yoda? The God Emperor of Mankind? Andrew Lloyd Webber? Garfield? Odie? He-Man? Prince Adam? Chester Arthur? Michael Jackson? David Bowie? The Beatles? Ruth Bader Ginsberg? Plus, shout outs to the teachers that shaped us. This episode is so wizard… *** Topic [...]

Phil poses an interesting question. As none of us are parents and 2/3 of us own dogs - you can imagine how this goes… Or can you? Because you probably didn’t account for Triple Latte Ben. Huzzah! Enjoy! ps - Reasons to borrow a baby: some sort of fraud, to get on a lifeboat, to [...]

No potato - whether fried, baked, or saladed - is safe from Geoff’s love of ketchup. Ben’s on the same boat. Those two are like peas in a pod (which they’d also likely smoother in ketchup). Max on the other hand is on team mustard and bbq sauce. But a least all three agreed on [...]

Old man Geoff hates a lot of things. Like the topic. And how you use language. But not dick tutus. Wizened old millennial, Hollywood, blames participation trophies. Stuff about generational cohorts, the rise of fun, entitlement and expectations, not being taught how to fail, and humanity's greatest strength and weakness. Then things get dark. Thanks, [...]

This whole EpiDose is the three of us sitting around and geeking out about the books we liked as kids, the ones we’re reading now, and board games. Non-nerds need not apply. Lord of the Flies, Choose Your Own Adventure, legacy games, The Phantom Tollbooth, The Chronicles of Narnia, RA Salvatore’s dark elf outsider, and [...]

Order, chaos, the sweaty pancake universe, tea bag wisdom, universal expansion, bio determinism, causality, linear time, the nature of definitions, the illusion of free will, and the mythology of science. Destiny is a lane change. *** Topic - Is there some divine path set for us, randomly bouncing through this reality for a reason or [...]

Tommy Boy, Billy Madison, Dumb and Dumber, Ghost Busters, Top Gun, Office Space, the Big Lebowski, Pulp Fiction, Half Baked, Caddy Shack, Anchorman, American Pie, Star Wars, Spaceballs, Braveheart, Gladiator, Shawshank Redemption, Indiana Jones, Red Dawn. Did movies used to be more quotable than they are today? *** Topic - Did movies used to be [...]

This week is all about social customs and norms, the way we treat our friends versus strangers, and farts. There’s no time for foreplay.... we’re too busy ballin’ on a budget and screwing up Geoff’s sound. (Our bad. Ben catches it pretty quick.) Geoff asserts dominance. It always depends for Max. And Ben does his [...]
