Latest episodes

  1. Just Take it Back from the Fuckers

    01:01:17

    Ned and Meg revisit Halloweeny themes in this episode. Secondarily, we are trying to figure out a new word to describe the simultaneous experience of emotional terror due to catastrophic climate destruction while also enjoying the nicer weather as a result. If you have suggestions, you know where to reach us. Thanks for listening, wash your hands, don’t be a dick.

  2. 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!

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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!
