We Should Know Better

This week Sky takes us from false hero to golf club. Lots of talk about Robbie Burns, dumb fairy tales, and how terrible geese are. This one is a bit long, so you're getting more for your money!

This episode Kyle takes us from number sign to pocket knife. We learn about toys and listen to Gregorian chant rap in between! It's good times y'all. Enjoy!

Also we recorded this during the Super Bowl so the quality's not great because everyone was interneting so hard that night.

This week we go from Mothra to Pythagoras, a challenge sent in by listener Tony (thegiganticproject.com). One of us sets the Wiki land speed record by completing the challenge in only two clicks! You'll never guess who it is or what happens next. Wikipedia editors hate him.

Are you ready for NERD THINGS? Well, more NERD THINGS than usual? We go from shipping (as in relationship shipping) to Hayao Miazaki.

Do you think Kyle sounds like Prince Hans? Which of us three would you ship and why? No seriously why are you thinking about this.
