  1. My Stones!

    01:31:03

    Ned and Meg chat about Ned’s recent visit to the Marine Exchange of Southern California, a sprawling logistical water puzzle with giant boats that people solve in real time, which sounds like a fantastic job. We also discuss the recent death of one of the world’s greatest artists, Yayoi Kusama, RIP. And last, Ned’s stones! Ohhhhh the stooooones! Thanks for listening, wash your hands, don’t be a dick!

  2. Toe Boats

    00:36:08

    Ned and Meg brought Damon in on the pod this time to discuss potential podcast titles before we get around to discussing Toeboats. Or, Toe Boats. Either way, this million dollar idea can't be kept under wraps. Here it is for your enjoyment. Thanks for listening, wash your hands, don't be a dick!

  3. Fish or Chick; the Vagaries of Dinnertime Decisionmaking

    01:26:56

    Ned and Meg discuss the phenomenon of decision fatigue as it relates to dinnertime. It's a cruel trick that at the end of a day of decisions, one still must decide what to have for dinner, and at a time when one is most incapable of making choices. Is this a cultural disease? Is this why we have restaurant delivery from horrible companies who are bottoming out our economy? Also, crab parasites, WTF. Thanks for listening, wash your hands, don't be a dick.

  4. Little Gems for the People #8: Immanentize

    00:26:56

    Meg and Ned talk about how a lot of solutions are really just another problem, and our rabbit hole discussion of immanentizing the eschaton leads to a book recommendation, Douglas Rushkoff's Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires. You know it has to be good because of the colon in the title. Thanks for listening, wash your hands, don't be a dick!

  5. It's Mircotonal Music; the Brilliance of Angine de Poitrine

    01:07:49

    Ned sent Meg a KEXP video of a band named Angine de Poitrine and it consumed her entire day from the moment she woke up and into the next day, the day we recorded this podcast, which is about the anonymous Canadian rock orchestra that Meg now cannot live without. A serious internet rabbit hole or ten later, Meg and Ned discuss microtonal music, instruments, bands, synthesizers, Dan Deacon, mushroom music, Matt Berry and Jemaine Clement in an Orchid Synth promo video, and a bunch of other stuff Meg already forgot about. Check out Angine de Poitrine on YouTube, and you're in for a wild ride. Thanks for listening to us and to Angine, wash your hands, and don't be a dick!
