We're just guys playing Rocket League while recording our conversations. Don't expect much.
Our first sponsored episode means almost an hour of birthday-related conversation, with a few side topics sprinkled in
Jesse was challenged to design a Eurogame. In this episode, we come up with details and refine the game
After a challenge for Jesse, we talk about chess variations, mind-blowing statistics, and what constitutes nature
Casinos, Chuck E. Cheese's, and nice numbers. See if you can stay awake longer than Jesse
Continents, new words, generational conflicts, and making a language. Can you spot the theme?
We talk about the art of giving a good presentation, Family Feud, and wrap up with another discussion of words
We welcome a longtime friend of the show, Turner! It's an absolute smörgåsbord of an episode, capped off by a power ranking of each of us as hosts
Everybody's got something to rant about in this episode, and most of them have something to do with technology
Welcome to the inaugural edition of Wikipedia Deep Dives! Each of us brings an article or two to share and discuss
The main talking point for this episode is our thoughts on curves for tests. But first, cabbage
Jesse wasn't here so this episode is a little shorter. You can decide if that's good or bad
Believe it or not we actually go from unpopular food opinions to languages to rom-coms without a single transition. We're that awesome
It's another episode of Phil topics! Is every movie in 3D? Why does water feel colder than air? Do detectives need tooth analysts?
Jesse was feeling a little philosophical, and Phil wants to break the laws of physics
We talk about whether people should be fired over offensive tweets and if we should shop ethically. If that bores you just listen to the first and last four minutes
We discuss the value of course evaluations, Jesse wishes for consequences, and we rate life advise as wise, cliché, or stupid
We're back with another round of I Dissent. This time, we cover the legality of time travel, the voting age limit, and how tipping is a stupid system
This episode, we try a game called I Dissent. As you can expect, we don't follow the rules exactly, but we do have some pretty good conversations about what can be funny, talent versus hard work, and the internet's impact on intelligence
Our first official visitor joins the show! Jess wanted to use us for her class projects, so we figured the least she could do was entertain you while doing it
Somehow, between Helen Keller and reminiscing about high school, we manage to find time to talk about writing poetry
John's homework assignment was to make a podcast episode about education, so here's another podcast episode about education
From ominous pizza-related messages, to the price of our dignity, this episode has it all! In addition, we also talk about self driving cars, and the feasibility of making a real life version of Rocket League
Phil gives us a taste of ASMR, then asks what constitutes a spoiler. Britain has some odd foods and names for them, let's dive into that. Lastly, but far from least, hear about the legendary origins of the John Dollar
After a brief chat with the Brodka family, Phil tells us about his monstrosity of an email filing system, and then talks about intrinsic and extrinsic motivation
In the final episode of our trial run, we reevaluate the podcast and adjust our direction going forward
Phil brings the topics in this episode, so you know its a thriller. Get ready to listen to us talk about voicemails and various notifications
Our topics of choice for this episode are the Houston Astros' cheating scandal, and the appeal of rare vs common sports occurrences
We bounce around topics like static electricity, Pokemon games, and graph analysis before we find out a shocking secret about Jesse. Then we explore the wondrous land of Wikipedia
We go over the assignment Max gave the rest of us, before discussing situational fruits. Then we discuss our restaurant shenanigans, personality tests, and what we've been watching The Unmade Podcast: https://www.unmade.fm No Dumb Questions: https://www.nodumbquestions.fm Hello Internet: http://www.hellointernet.fm/
Questions we try to answer in this episode include: What skill would you choose to become slightly above mediocre at instantly? What would you change about the high school curriculum? Is our data ours to profit off of?
A quick question about partnering up leads to an entire dissection of the educational system
Is potato salad a salad? Max doesn't answer that but he'll tell you why it's a dumb debate. Jesse describes his patent-pending Rational Decision Making Paradigm. Link to the video Phil talks about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=IJEaMtNN_dM&app=desktop
Which Pokémon starter is the best and worst? Then we discuss the point of religion. There's a common thread there somewhere. If you find it let us know
We look at where Christianity got its ideas from, when to text versus call, our mannerisms while recording, and discuss childhood book series
We're all over the board in this episode, talking about tourism, misquoted sayings, a glass museum, and Phil's experience growing up with video games
Place your bet on when Jesse will join, then listen as we rate letters of the English alphabet, discuss what makes music stand the test of time, and talk about how well we'd do in the 1600's
We discuss the progression of knowing and the Tragedy of the Commons, give video games an extended quarantine shoutout, and John lays down the MarioKart law.
We span all sorts of topics from controversial candy opinions to emotional intelligence to how Phil and John became friends.
We figure out how we're gonna do this whole podcast thing.
