We come up with a lot of taglines for this podcast whenever we record with Amy and I'm all about it. Also listen around the half hour mark f...
A truly astonishing set of circumstances prevented us from recording these episodes with Will, but because we believed in ourselves, we pers...
Let's not mince words on this point: all of our guests are great and I would gladly have them on again at any time, but what Amy brings to t...
I couldn't stop thinking about the idea of a podcast deliberately engineered to appeal to MAGA dumbshits by someone who really, really wants...
Jenna's previous episode was great, but is this one ........ better? HIGHLY POSSIBLE. There's only one way to find out!
Listen, if there's anything we can count on to remain constant in this world, it's that cats live to kill, German shepherd puppies are adora...
In which Jenna, one of our favorite guests, makes a triumphant return, this time with an idea file of her own that turns out to be full -- f...
We recorded this one a while ago, but because she's goddamn fantastic, Yuri picked some real bangers, including a hopefully very timely one...
As always, Gary delivers. Also, I feel like I'm in fairly exalted company, having had (some time ago) an idea along the same lines as someth...
Arlette's latest appearance delivers some quality booze notions and at least one kind of d6 that I would -- no kidding -- really like to see...
What's the minimum acceptable level of grift? Is the snack food idea we had subtle genius or absolute horror? Who WOULD be the most (in)appr...
Would any of the Weyouns make a good housemate? Which Starfleet doctor is least suited to being in quarantine? Which character will end up w...
Arlette returns for another high-quality installment; how do you know it's high-quality? Three words that will make more sense to you after...
I don't care if I've said it before: Ken's idea file is a true trove of treasures, and I look forward to recording these episodes immensely....
This one is packed with high-quality notions as usual, but I also tell the story of a very good, extremely fake business I took part in; we...
One of Ken's ideas is an amazing app but also just a new cultural practice for quarantine that we could start doing RIGHT NOW and it would b...
Did we have a system when this podcast started? Kinda sorta! Would it have helped? Possibly! Do we have fun looking at the data anyway? Abso...
Never forget that while occasional acting co-host Jen is wonderful for many reasons, her food ideas are nothing short of monstrous.
Never has an episode whipsawed so violently between mildly terrifying and utterly adorable mental imagery as we have done here, but perhaps...
We get into a brief but surprisingly deep corner of Star Trek lore on this one, folks.
"Nightmares are dreams, too, friend." This episode absolutely bursts with quotable moments and candidates for titles, but then what else was...
It's possible this was down to Lily's particular skillset, but we discovered depths to one particular idea that I absolutely did not know we...
This episode poses an intriguing question that we definitely invite you, the listener, to weigh in on; leave a review with your answer, I gu...
The title of this one will make sense once you listen to the episode, I promise. I feel like I say that a lot, but that's because it's true.
For some reason, this episode was also full of great candidates for new taglines for the podcast itself, which I'm not mad at. Also, I might...
I wanted to do something special to commemorate the release of Star Trek: Picard, and I felt comfortable borrowing the format of another sho...
I really think I would get a good workout at the gym idea we found in here; I also have to say the dummy customization business we cooked up...
Not gonna lie: Ken's idea file continues to be absolutely fantastic in this one,
This episode also contains another amazing bad date story from Kelly, and that's really all I can tell you about it -- you'll just have to l...
Another guest with their own (utterly goddamn delightful) idea file! Hell yeah!! Also, something that only occurred to me in the editing is...
Let's be clear that even though I didn't address it at the time, I am 1000% in favor of more Justin Lin involvement in future Star Trek proj...
I'll be honest with you: this one is bursting at the seams with juicy ideas ripe -- ripe! -- for the plucking. Take them and run! Run, I say...
I hope episodes like these become the norm, where I get to rummage through other peoples' mental junk drawers just like they do mine; they'r...
Nick is also (to put it lightly) a very strong idea person, which made the episodes we recorded with him a goddamn delight. You'll see! YOU'...
Steve's personal idea files were a thrill to peruse -- I now truly understand why our guests seem to have so much damn fun! Also, now armed...
Molly gave us an idea at the end of this episode that will send you into a momentary trance as you imagine how much better public transit wo...
This is the first episode we've ever done that seemed to warrant a self-generated disclaimer, so I think we did some excellent work here.
There's a nonzero chance that I may actually investigate the first party idea Molly brought up, because it hasn't really left my head since...
Ben: "What did mayo do to you, Jon?" (crosstalk) Jon: "It's gross and I hate it." / Besha: "It's a long story." [pause] Jon: "Well, it's onl...
It turns out Pumpkin Spice Life Cereal is a thing that existed, but for some reason I didn't see any of it last year. It's possible it might...
A technical difficulty that went undiscovered until we'd finished recording renders this one slightly shorter than usual, but once again Ben...
In this episode, Besha hits upon the notion that we need a sound effect to play whenever I ask "are there notes for that one?" which I think...
We should've had Ben on here forever ago, because the magnitude of the improvements he brought to some of these ideas is frankly infuckingca...
In all fairness, I was unaware of the tradition of the Iron Ring among engineers, and I now consider myself educated; as ideas themselves go...
You're gonna want a refresher on this extremely important article before you start this episode. I love these people and I love making this...
The way I like to describe my fantastic friend Gary to pals is "he's your favorite kooky uncle" and it's true, possibly the most true thing...
Seriously: I will never get to the bottom of the mystery of Infinity Gauntlet Guy and this fact will lowkey haunt me for years. I can just f...
Marri is a goddamn delight and you should probably all be aware of that fact by the end of this, her second episode. Also, let me know if yo...
I feel like I say this a lot, but this particular episode contains a fair amount of actual idea gold that I'm convinced could be a reasonabl...
I really do want someone out there to investigate this D&D idea and get back to us, because we are about it, and you'll be too once you've l...
