Your long-lost legends of long-winded lore are back, reporting live from the 2026 Web Summit Conference in Doha, Qatar! Together they proudly present the second installment of their pop culture anecdote grab-bag: TMI: Oops, All Digressions.
This time around, they dive into the origins (and alternate-universe casting) of the James Bond franchise — including the hilariously un-spy-like way Ian Fleming stole the name “James Bond” from a real-life bird expert, plus the many almost-Bonds who nearly wore the tux. From there, the conversation takes the scenic route into how Bond indirectly helped inspire Indiana Jones, why Spielberg never got his 007 shot (but still got the last laugh), and a detour through Terminator lore — from Arnold’s gun-range training to the surprising movie that earned him his biggest payday.
Meanwhile, Heigl breaks down the proud, baffling tradition of electric jug music via the 13th Floor Elevators, and Jordan nerds out on the strange history of currency (stone money, cheese wheels as collateral, and why your penny is living on borrowed time) before sliding into the origins of playing cards — capped off by the mind-melter that there are more possible shuffles of a deck than there are atoms on Earth.
So strap in for TMI: Oops, All Digressions! No structure. No safety net. Just facts. (Recorded February 2, 2026.)
