Ep19: A Haircut Renaissance

Katie Sandwina, "The Lady Hercules"

We're back! This episode was recorded on International Women's Day, so Kyle has us go from strongwoman Katie Sandwina to Amelia Earhart. Along the way we end up talking about Jumbo the elephant, circus fires, and a graphic novel about jujitsu-wielding suffragettes.

Photos we talk about:
47:15- Jumbo trade card signed by Alice, Jumbo's "wife" in the London Zoo

Ep17: A Horse Named Sting

A Grass-type Bjork in her natural habitat.
Weak against Fire types.

Tim makes us go from the Wikipedia page for the Old Mill ride to Icelandic songwriter and swan-wearer Bjork, so it goes without saying that this is a weird one. Kyle disses Radiohead and Sky pulls a Stingception along the way.

Photos we talk about:
17:50- Promotional photo of Kenny Loggins
51:15 - Sting with his 2014 Kennedy Center Honoree Medallion, December 2014
1:05:30 - Björk at the 2001 Academy Awards, wearing her swan dress

Ep16: Some of My Best Friends Are Golf Courses

History's first conga line.

This week Sky takes us from false hero to golf club. Lots of talk about Robbie Burns, dumb fairy tales, and how terrible geese are. This one is a bit long, so you're getting more for your money!

Photos we talk about:
27:45 - Crazy crowd lighter
1:20:15 - Canada goose in Edmonton, Alberta in 2013

Ep15: Forever Atone

This is kind of how bayonets work. About halfway there.
 

This episode Kyle takes us from number sign to pocket knife. We learn about toys and bayonets and listen to Gregorian chant rap in between! It's good times y'all. Enjoy!

Also we recorded this during the Super Bowl so the quality's not great because everyone was interneting so hard that night.

Ep14: Ishaneko vs. Atuu-Ath'ree

Still a better love story than Twilight.

This week we go from Mothra to Pythagoras, a challenge sent in by listener Tony (thegiganticproject.com). One of us sets the Wiki land speed record by completing the challenge in only two clicks! You'll never guess who it is or what happens next. Wikipedia editors hate him.

34:50 - "Pythagoreans celebrate sunrise" by Fyodor Bronnikov

Ep13: A Dad Joke of the Stars

Miazaki. You crazy, brilliant, handsome man.

Are you ready for NERD THINGS? Well, more NERD THINGS than usual? We go from shipping (as in relationship shipping) to Hayao Miazaki.

Do you think Kyle sounds like Prince Hans? What's your favorite Miazaki movie? Which of us three would you ship and why? No seriously why are you thinking about this two of us are cousins what is wrong with you.
