Episode 25: Household Essentials

Episode 25: Household Essentials

We try to make a list of the top 8 must have essential household items for a new homeowner. Also, Mark has infinite shirts, clothing vs toilet paper, Mark is a cool kid that uses sponges, and Rashid remembers which Zach is which.

On Movies and Soda

Sorry for the delay; it's been all dissertation defenses, lost jobs, and lost pets here the last few weeks. It's all sorted now though (knock on wood), so I'm happy to unleash our most free-form episode yet. We just go full shooting the breeze mode in this one. Topics: being Grievous, Rashid hates the movies you love and loves the movies you hate, Mark and Rashid both hate the soda you love, and so much more.

Clarinet Waves, Dyson Moon, and the Best Programming Language

We are changing up the format a little here: NO LISTS! We decided to just let the conversation flow from the idea of discussing naturally occurring waveforms to whatever we wanted to discuss. If you're still listening by now, we figure you must like us talking. In this episode we discuss waves, tailcoats, coding languages, dyson sphereing (sphering?) the moon, and the proper pronunciation of "daemon." Also, Rashid (the pedant) doesn't know what a glockenspiel is, but might know something about English and possibly magnets too. Does anyone remember the story of when Joshua fired plasma balls at Jericho until the walls were demolished? *Slight warning: Rashid is such a pedant, that he gets mad and curses once in this. We try to keep this clean, so feel free to mock him mercilessly and maybe he will learn to not be so irritating (probably not though).

Episode 24: The Best Animated Characters

Now, after an even longer break, nobody remains; that doesn't mean we won't keep making these though. We make a top 10 list of the greatest (best?) animated characters of to date. Also: Mark learns what a character is, Rashid has a hot take, and we both agree on the world's most iconic mice.

Episode 23: The Best Thanksgiving Foods

We finally return after half a year; only the true fans (and my parents) remain. We're back to bring you our thoughts on Thanksgiving cuisine. Also: Rashid gives proof as to why America's favorite pizza topping is bad and you all should feel bad, Mark tries to defend soup as a key ingredient to macaroni and cheese, and we both leave out turkey. So bring your festive pitchforks and have a listen.
