In which we discuss Bono, _It's A Small World_, the Black Death, and Wagner. Is the sound better? I can't even tell anymore. Buckle up for entertainment!

Think Again, My Friend

Episode 26: Security & Theater

An age-old curse is lifted; now stop hitting us with that net. The regulars discuss Jaws, Aphex Twin, Zeus (have we not drawn enough supernatural ire already?), and yes, Animal Crossing. Please enjoy this as you have been conditioned to do, which is to say by not complaining about the sound quality because it's familiar from at least a dozen Zoom meetings. (This is our first fully-remote podcast, thanks for your forbearance! We'll get better at it.)

Episode 25: Sharks

Your favorite rear dog of the sled returns, although the regulars plus Kat Jercich don't in fact manage to discuss the Iditarod much. Mike's LCD Soundsystem references get no love, and the kids are uptight. Brendan cobbles together, on the fly during our break, the most challenging and exciting round of This or That in the program's history. Nothing in the rules says an otter can't love himself. It's Think Again, My Friend. Mush.

Episode 24: Animals In Sports

Some people say not to worry about the air, but it's touching you right now, just like TAMF. To be clear, this was recorded when Portland was experiencing some severe air quality issues. We had some quality issues of our own, notably with Christen and Brendan's microphones; not all of the sound glitches could be worked out in post, and we're sorry.

Episode 23: Air

It's seldom but regularly tax time, and it's always dog time; somewhere in between, it's TAMF time. Topics discussed by the regulars, now including Ed Hawkins, include Leona Helmsley, cannons, and children. The sound may have a certain quality. Enjoy.

Episode 22: Taxes & Dogs

There are no easy references in this episode of TAMF, by which I mean there are no references to Easy Bake Ovens. We make our first use of foley, unless it isn't foley anymore when the sound you hear is actually made by what it purports to be made by …

Episode 21: Electricity & Cake

Wouldn't it be nice to take a break from one thing happening after another? What better way than with the continuity error of a podcast that we call TAMF? The regulars discuss basics, George Lucas, cemeteries, secret history, the Berenstain Bears amidst other conspiracies, and Max Headroom. Thanks for being …

Episode 20: Plots

With the regulars, plus friend of the show Kat for added hilarity and subtracted audio quality (we still don't handle more than four players very well; working on it). Many of the things we discussed must not be named. It's possible that they shouldn't be discussed either, in which case …

Episode 19: Gods

Coming out pro for the Oxford comma, it's the return of TAMF. Discussed are Alex Trebek, Rambo, and Julius Caesar, all of which are proper nouns and therefore disqualified. With the regulars.

Episode 18: Animals, Vegetables, and Minerals

With the regulars, one of whom is heroically Skyping in over public WiFi in New York City, but that wasn't enough of a hero's journey for Tom, oh no. Topics include: nitrogen. We apologize for missing National Peanut Day by two days. It just hit me that I'm eating walnuts …

Episode 17: Peanuts

In which we discuss premium cable, noxious gases, William Hurt, and guns. It's a bit of a long one, but after ten minutes in, you won't be worrying about it. We've got our audio problems a little more under control; thank you for sticking with us!

Episode 16: Netflix and Refrigeration

It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy: and ever since then, we've been reenacted, with Mike, Brendan, Christen, and Tom sharing the evidence about Mormon journeys, farbs, and Disneyland with whoever cares to listen or has forgotten to remove us from their RSS readers yet magically discovered our new domain name. It's …

Episode 15: Nostalgias & Reenactments

From the Freemasons to bronies, people everywhere seem to want to get together, lord their membership over others, and be secretive about ridiculous things. We're no exception, although the secrecy is mostly because we keep forgetting to tell anyone. The regular panelists throw down on some of America's favorite habitual …

S2E2: Fraternal Organizations

Welcome to the second season of America's definable-as-successful quiz show podcast! We kick off our new period of delivering shows regularly with all the regulars, talking about the things they most like to use to mash food up into digestible bits. Also discussed are corporate conspiracies, old people, dogs, dead …

Season 2, Episode 1: TEETH

We embrace, now, meaning by "we" the regular cast plus Tom "mathpunk" Henderson, a phenomenon which is dual in nature: that of the restaurants attended by families, and of the restaurants owned and operated by "families." So that's kind of a giveaway for one of the things we discuss. Actually …
