  • Everyone has things they are passionate about; things we want our friends to try and experience. So we’ve convinced each other to try different things. We talk about these experiences to see if we can just get one more person to join us on our hill to die on.

  • 81: Not Important Enough to Have a Footnote
    Nov 25 2024

    Recorded March 31, 2024

    And we’re back! After a (not so) short hiatus, Nate and Ryan resume their antics with a discussion of what makes a game, bread point inflation, and musical theatre. Then after judging Flan KitKats and sparkling juice, they turn their attention to the theatre. All this leads up to their main media discussion of the Sir Terry Pratchett novel Wyrd Sisters, where they talk about plot structure, breaking rules, and how to transplant a country.

  • 80: I Want the World to Be Better
    May 26 2024

    Recorded February 12, 2024

    It’s the end of the world as we know it. Or at least the end of the Stillness. This week Nate and Ryan reach the conclusion of the Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin. In the lead up to their discussion on the book they talk about the start and stop lifestyle of their school and some surprise car expenses for Nate. Then, they turn to discuss some of their favorite post-apocalypses to live (vicariously) in. Finally, they talk about a longing for justice, supporting your children, and the difference between cilia and a cat-bus in their discussion of The Stone Sky by N.K Jemisin.

  • 79: Get to Know Death More
    Mar 28 2024

    Recorded January 7, 2024

    Goals, clubs, and the undead! This week Nate and Ryan talk about their new year, new goals (and themes) including the difficulty of normal bedtimes. Then, they discuss informal groups and clubs while having Matcha KitKats and yet another Lemon drink. Finally, as they talk about Terry Pratchett’s “Reaper Man” they discuss how the death of civilization is a shopping center, the differences between a man-wolf and a wolf-man, and Death’s abhorrence of drama.
