The Fox and the Ham

We try to make a list of the top 8 must have essential household items for a new homeowner.
Also, Mark has infinite shirts, clothing vs toilet paper, Mark is a cool kid that uses sponges, and Rashid remembers which Zach is which.

Sorry for the delay; it's been all dissertation defenses, lost jobs, and lost pets here the last few weeks. It's all sorted now though (knock on wood), so I'm happy to unleash our most free-form episode yet. We just go full shooting the breeze mode in this one.
Topics: being Grievous, Rashid hates the movies you love and loves the movies you hate, Mark and Rashid both hate the soda you love, and so much more.

We are changing up the format a little here: NO LISTS!
We decided to just let the conversation flow from the idea of discussing naturally occurring waveforms to whatever we wanted to discuss. If you're still listening by now, we figure you must like us talking.

In this episode we discuss waves, tailcoats, coding languages, dyson sphereing (sphering?) the moon, and the proper pronunciation of "daemon." Also, Rashid (the pedant) doesn't know what a glockenspiel is, but might know something about English and possibly magnets too.

Does anyone remember the story of when Joshua fired plasma balls at Jericho until the walls were demolished?

*Slight warning: Rashid is such a pedant, that he gets mad and curses once in this. We try to keep this clean, so feel free to mock him mercilessly and maybe he will learn to not be so irritating (probably not though).

Now, after an even longer break, nobody remains; that doesn't mean we won't keep making these though.

We make a top 10 list of the greatest (best?) animated characters of to date.
Also: Mark learns what a character is, Rashid has a hot take, and we both agree on the world's most iconic mice.

We finally return after half a year; only the true fans (and my parents) remain. We're back to bring you our thoughts on Thanksgiving cuisine.
Also: Rashid gives proof as to why America's favorite pizza topping is bad and you all should feel bad, Mark tries to defend soup as a key ingredient to macaroni and cheese, and we both leave out turkey. So bring your festive pitchforks and have a listen.

We attempt to make a list of the five best Pokémon from the original 150...and failed, so we made a top 10 list instead.
Also, Sanford and Son, The Munsters, The Brady Bunch, and many other old shows that people don't remember.
Also Also, the objective huggability scale.

Sorry for the delay, but it's not like we have a schedule at this point.

This week, our friend Jackie joins us to discuss what breeds of dog we believe have the cutest puppies around.

Also, tiny dictators, Rashid never steps on Mark's opinions, a counsel of elders, and Rashid speaks out for the populares.

After another few weeks of confusion, we're back with force. Our friends Josh and John join us to discuss the greatest sports.
Also: Mark decides the E-sports are real sports, John has fowl language, Josh "gets the point," and other silly stuff.

Back on our usual schedule of one episode every week...ish, we arrive with an all new format! We are going head to head with our own top five lists.

Now, when you get mad at us for forgetting something or saying dumb stuff, you'll feel as much a part of the argument as we are.

We rise to the status that our podcast deserves by analyzing humanity's greatest inventions.

Apologies for the delay on this one; Mark moved and then we suffered some technical issues, but we're all better now.

Two lists today:

A good top 10:

A crazy top 100:

We discuss where we've fantasized about going as we are trapped in our houses. Also, water and education and watches.

Sorry for missing this past weekend; here's our excuse and our plan to make it up to you.

This week, we're here with another snippet of conversation. This time we discuss the Lion King remake atrocity and the Cats "movie." Also, Mark is part of the Bourgeoisie and we totally insult John Oliver.

This week, we couldn't find a list that captured what we were looking for, so we made our own list. A list of cool special effects deaths of the big screen. Also, the origin of our list obsession and some words on the "brown note."

No list today.

On our first episode back from holiday break, we decided to simply capture a snippet of us talking as we do outside the podcast. What follows is a strange train of thought that is rapidly derailed by a non-sequitur to become something altogether different than we planned.
Happy New Year. Enjoy!

Small edit, profanity removed, but we left in the outtake because it's kind of funny and Rashid sounds all whiny and complainy.

We take a moment to discuss what makes a good holiday special. Also: magical hotel sheets, Grinch got no pants on, the three pillars of hallmark, a metaphorical convertible.

We discuss why we think people like halloween.
Also: don't vomit on a cold bus, Mark doesn't care, Rashid gives his lamest attempt at a Halloween voice, Baltimoron.

Happy post-Halloween candy hangover; I hope you're all ready for the election and, more importantly, the new Ryzen launch.

Rashid and Mark each spent a few hours picking a person named Michael who they thought was the ultimate Michael then each tried to argue why their own Michael was best. A straightforward program if ever there was one.

Also, don't worry if your personal favorite Michael didn't make an appearance; we thought of a lot of Michaels.
Here are a few:
Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee
Michael J. Fox
Michael Palin
Michael Jackson
Michael B. Jordan
Michael Phelps
Michael, Archangel The
Mikey from the Life Cereal ad
Michael Mouse
Mike of "and Ike" fame

We discuss what some see as the greatest items ever to have the  "As Seen on TV" badge placed on their packaging.
Not to mention car sickness the chair, canned hair, and maybe Barbara Eden's bra; all while Rashid loses his mind.

Sorry for the delayed release, getting new cats has thrown off my schedule in a major way.

We discuss the most popular comfort foods according to Jetsetter.
Also, is milk a food? Is pasta comforting? Is spagooters?

Rashid and mark get very tangential as they work their way to having Rashid try to guess what the best selling Nintendo games of all time are.

Apologies for the late release, 4th of July weekend proved to be a lot more than we bargained for.

We discuss music before Mark tries to guess what Rolling Stone thinks are the ten best Beatles songs.

Also, Rashid is convinced a new format of guessing is in order that will mean less hang time, less counting, and less editing for him.

In this, that most rapidly edited and uncut episode, we see the beginning of a new era!

Rashid tries to guess the contents of a Ranker list of the best cartoons that aired in the 90's and 00's. Better lists exist, but the game is on either way. We both talk about cartoons in general (Maybe Rashid watches too much TV).

*Correction: It's the dark hand, not the black hand. Those are two very different things.

Rashid and Mark try to stump one another with some colloquialisms.
