  • Ramblecast 125

    We have a long ramblecast for you this week to make up for last week. We're starting off with a discussion on improving travel conditions, and we move on to a subject that's going to become very close to our hearts: the flat earth theory.

  • Episode 124: Ancient Chinese Pitch Perfect

    We're diving into "The Journey West" again, because it's been awhile since we found out what the rascally Monkey King was up to. And we won't find out this week, because the book just decides to have a side trip into a filler chapter.

    Suggested talking points: Time Traveler Ben Carson, Gordie's Awkward Party Corner: Playlists, the body-slamming congressional candidate, mandarin shrimp ministers, the holes aces go in, chess fatigue, musical news, Yoricking your own head, ghost flu

    This week we discuss the different kinds of reapers out there, pitch some patches for Overwatch, and think about what a sequel to Pagemaster would be like.

  • Episode 123: Wormaid

    We're visiting a seldom-traveled part of the world for us with this week's story "The Seven Weavers." We're off to Vietnam, to check up on more of the same set of sisters from previous Vietnamese stories we've ready. Turns out: Jeff Bridges is innate to all of them.

    Suggested talking points: folklore victims, the Kanye we were looking for, hotboxing a baby, putting Alice In Wonderland to bed, evil math

    Teeth are a mystery, and Gordie's been pondering them since having his wisdom teeth removed last week. Do birds have them? What's up with what cows do to their food? Why do we have to go through two sets of them as humans? Completely scientifically sound answers incoming.

  • Episode 122: Cake Boss Makes You a Summer House

    Despite the talking points, this one does not have any Bony in it. We just want to get out ahead of this one: the #BonyAlert is set to 0. But these are some fun hashtags you can use to confuse your friends. This week we're finally getting to the much-awaited "Cottage In the Sky."

    Suggested talking points: new titles, #BonyAlert, #BonyWatch, #BonyWarning, fake weather/sports, reverse pest situation, goat tribunal, pancake tolerance, dark pancake times

  • Episode 121: Gordie's Awkward Party Corner

    This week's story "The Boy With the Very Long Hair" has a reasonable foundation, but just needs a little bit of spice at the end to get things really popping. Which is where we come in. Sometimes it just takes a few dedicated people who are fixated on a couple of non-related topics to get a story right.

    Suggested talking points: Google Spy, baby Schwarzenegger, hunting a place to belong, Winnie the Pool Psychic Puzzle Master, a quick diatribe on Remus Lupin, Harry Potter conspiracies, judging judges, personal year systems, spirit favors, spirit high school

    This week we pause to consider the creators of things that are memed, parodied, and otherwise remade. Including the writers of folklore, and the creator of Clippy. Warning: there are some graphic pictures of that paperclip out there.

  • Episode 120: A Half-Empty Horse Receptacle

    This story "The Princess Bellaflor" makes more sense when you start to consider the drug habits of horses, and do a little measuring as to the soul capacity of a horse's body. We didn't get a movie out of this story, but we did out of a pretty sweet related project.

    Suggested talking points: the Mouse's sticky paws, the dairy bifurcation, hot-boxing ants, animal A-Team, crackhead horse soul, butt brains, Jimbo the Spanish Story Prodigy, the saloon door of drugs
