99: I Just Want to do the High Jump

99: I Just Want to do the High Jump

Taylor and Eric are kicking up for the global event of the Olympic games and are ready to cheer for... Well... Are we comfortable cheering for our home country? Is it mandatory to cheer for your home country during the Olympic games, let alone any major competitive event? Does supporting the athletes from your home country also imply support for any wrongdoings your country has in its history? By cheering for other countries, does that put us in a situation where we are to pick sides? What if the person competing also has done you wrong, are you still to support them because they represent your country? Listen to this week's episode and find out!

98: 18 Percent Picky is Not Picky at All

98: 18 Percent Picky is Not Picky at All

Taylor and Eric are enjoying another of many meals on their quest to rule the world. As they glance across the spread of dishes, they note a wide variety of options, some of which they aren't particularly fond of... As they note the edible items that satiate their hunger, and other items that turn them inside out, they begin to think about what truly makes for a picky eater? Does it matter how common the food is present in dishes? Is there anything beyond taste, look, and texture? Does the availability of alternate options make you less picky? Is the TERW podcast itself a picky eater? Listen to this week's episode and find out! Thanks for lending us your ear, and please share with your pals!

97: Close All Tabs? Are You Nuts?!

97: Close All Tabs? Are You Nuts?!

Taylor and Eric hit the interwebs for some quest assisting research. As the hours roll past, the browser tabs grow and grow in number... Are we breaking a rule here? How many tabs is too many tabs in your internet browser? Do we need to bookmark websites for later, or is it okay to leave the tab open so it is ready whenever we are? What about if you have so many tabs open that you can't even read the text that tells you what is on that tab? Listen to today's episode and find out! Thank you for listening!

96: Dragging Jean Tales

96: Dragging Jean Tales

Taylor and Eric are taking on quite many cuts and scrapes along their quest to rule the world. There was a plus side to this, which is that our jeans are looking cooler than ever with fashionable tears and rips. Showing off our rugged style at base camp, it is noted that some friends in our group have purchased pre-ripped and pre-stressed jeans to fit the look... Oh no! Is this an attack from within our own camp? Is it alright to purchase pre-ripped jeans? Does it matter how many rips? Does it matter the location of the rips? Does it matter how it is ripped? And if it looks good, does that justify the purchase? Or does each jean scrape and tear need to be made in battle? Listen to today's episode and find out! Tell your friends and leave a rating!

95: Time of the Bob

95: Time of the Bob

Taylor and Eric are up at dawn eating the most important meal of the day in preparation for their quest to rule the world. Today's menu... Cereal; part milk, part cereal. The question is, to what ratio are the two parts? How much milk does one add to cereal in order to finish the bowl with a balanced finish, and no one part overwhelming the other? Does the type of cereal matter? Does the type of milk matter? Are their visual cues, or is this a matter of taking proper measurements? Is it more in the action of pouring the milk, for example, showering the cereal with milk, as opposed to the method of filling up the bowl? Listen to this week's episode to find out!

94: Birthday Wishes Group Package

94: Birthday Wishes Group Package

Taylor and Eric reflect on more than a year of isolation from the pandemic. With every passing year we get older, and with the passing age we have birthday celebrations. How many group birthday videos have you been asked to take part in? Does it matter if birthday videos are made consistently among the same friend circle? Do group birthday wishes fulfill what personal greetings would bring forth? And what about doing a second video for the same person the next year? Is there a minimum period to wait before putting out that call once again for birthday wishes? Listen to this week's episode to find out what we have to say!

93: Don't Be a Sally Soundtrack

93: Don't Be a Sally Soundtrack

Taylor and Eric are knocking out rules left and right as they kick it at home during the lockdown. As movies play in the room, some discussion arises...is there talking allowed while watching a movie in the household? Does one need to wait until the movie is finished to express anything verbally? Does it enhance or detract from the experience? What if everyone, or no one, or part of the watch party has seen the movie before? Does any of it have any weight?

92: Dishwasher Domain

92: Dishwasher Domain

Taylor and Eric have been celebrating the many wins on the quest to rule the world with delicious meals with the allies! They take a peek into the kitchen and see that someone has taken to loading the dishwasher with the dirty dishes...say what?! This isn't their house, what could inspire them to think they know what goes into the dishwasher, and even more importantly, where it goes?! Is this something that is acceptable? Is it ever helpful for a guest to assist with loading a dishwasher? What about other dishwasher etiquette surrounding that situation? Listen in to this week's episode and find out!

91: Getting Gassy

91: Getting Gassy

Taylor and Eric are running empty on the road to ruling the world. Not yet at their destination, they ask whether they need to make a stop to re-fuel. When does one feel justified to stop for more gas? The 'Low Gas' indicator isn't yet on, but why wait until you are running on fumes? We got some gas in the tank, but we have quite some road ahead, does the trip distance matter? What about gas prices? It is also rush hour, maybe everyone is re-fueling and we should wait until it is more convenient? Listen to this week's episode to find out! Thank you for listening!

90: And Sometimes Y and That's Worth 4

90: And Sometimes Y and That's Worth 4

Taylor and Eric get some new recruits into the quest to rule the world. These new recruits are passing the time with board games during their break. The question is whether or not even these board games can be productive towards our mission to rule the world. Taylor and Eric discuss the most important references to board games that one may encounter in daily life, and build a list of the board games one should play in order to not miss a beat on these references.

89: Drying Your Boots? Throw in the Towel

89: Drying Your Boots? Throw in the Towel

Taylor and Eric's quest has had them tread through some swampy paths. On a quick stop for re-supply, they realize that their boots are soaking wet and their next mission is in just a few hours! Are they doomed to put on a pair of soaking boots? The question is...is it okay if they toss their boots into the dryer to accelerate the drying process? What about the noise factor? Will this damage the boots? Should the boots have gotten wet in the first place? Or perhaps it is our heroes that need to better take care of their footwear?

88: Am I Snowblowing this Out of Proportion?

88: Am I Snowblowing this Out of Proportion?

Taylor and Eric realize notice a recent snowfall at the basecamp. Getting our shovels out and ready to clear out the driveway, we realize the neighbouring camp is already out and about clearing theirs...with a snowblower! Being totally confident in our ability to clear snow manually with a shovel, we wonder if the image of us using shovels sends out the image of a struggle, and thus pressures our neighbours to come to the rescue with their tool of convenience? What if we don't want the help and want to use the opportunity to get some exercise and fresh air? Is it rude to turn away snowblower help? What about if the neighbour has already cleared your driveway before you could get out to it? And is there a requirement to pay it forward, or repay the favour?

87: No Need to Eat Lasagna Off the Ice Cream Plate

87: No Need to Eat Lasagna Off the Ice Cream Plate

Taylor and Eric are done fighting an epic battle! We get ready to move on to the next battlefield, but as we look around, all our tools and weapons are strewn about! Is this a mess? We know we are going to be using these items real soon, why put them away? Does everything need to be put away right after it gets put to use? If not, what determines how long an item can be left out in a 'disorderly' manner? And if that space is required for another purpose, does that immediately make the whole environment a 'mess?' We need to learn how and when to really clean up! If you want to learn too, listen to this week's episode to find out! Thank you for listening and telling your friends!

86: Baskin and Robin

Taylor and Eric decide to have a bit of a treat after their discussions of meals and leftovers. Job well done, right everyone? Wrong! The quest to rule the world is never done! And we set our sights on ice cream...particularly vanilla ice cream! Is vanilla ice cream the plain flavour? Is it shameful to enjoy vanilla ice cream on its own? Does vanilla need a partner to really reach its potential? Would you order vanilla ice cream when going out to a parlor? Listen to this week's episode and find out what Taylor and Eric have in mind!

85: Leftovers! Cooked Meals in Disguise!

85: Leftovers! Cooked Meals in Disguise!

Taylor and Eric stumble across a magic box with a lid on hinges. Open opening the lid, the inside temperature is freezing. They reach in and pull out... What is this? Leftovers!? What madness is this that a freezer can prolong indefinitely the life of leftovers. How long is the life of leftovers? How many days before you have to say no? Do base ingredients count as leftovers? Can leftovers be reformed into a brand new meal, thus resetting the clock? How can we sustain ourselves with food without knowing the rules around leftovers! This episode is complimented by an earlier episode of ours #14 where we talk about the role of the microwave in the preparation of leftovers. Thank you for listening! Please share with your friends!

84: The Chatham Goodbye

84: The Chatham Goodbye

Taylor and Eric are consulting all our allies as to our next strike on our quest to rule the world. They begin to notice the frequency at which they are checking the time. Has the meeting really been going on that long? There are so many people speaking, how can we break loose from this space and get on with our quest? Is it necessary to make a grand announcement of our departure? Do we have to say anything at all and people will just take the hint? Perhaps leaving a small note would suffice? Or maybe we can pepper some clues in our next statement that would assist in bringing this meeting to a close? How exactly can we break free from a long-lasting meeting?

83: Do You Want to See My 50 lb Bag of Potatoes?

Taylor and Eric have set up basecamp and some allies have been stopping by to check it out. We conducted a tour of the whole place for the first group that came by. But now another group stopped by...and now a couple...and now a few straggler friends...are we expected to keep taking them all on a full tour? What counts as something worthwhile to show on a house tour? Public areas? Bathrooms? Tool shed? Bedrooms?! Where do you draw the line? And does it matter who is taking the tour?

82: Hitting a Bread End

Taylor and Eric break to have lunch and build energy to keep battling the extensive rulings of the world. Oh no! Ambush! In our very lunch, we notice that the caterer used the end slices of the bread loaf! Is that okay? Are the end pieces of a bread load equivalent to the space filler trash foam that comes in shipping packages? Is it justifiable to toss those pieces away? Does pizza crust compare?

81: The X-Files Rule

Taylor and Eric are looking to fill up some time between missions with some fulfilling television and movie media! We have our franchises lined up and our series all picked out. We take a look at the streaming service content...36,000+ hours of available content?! How can we decide where to start?! And just what are the rules regarding binging content? Is there a time limit? Does it matter if it has been recommended? Or if you're lagging behind a pop cultural phenomenon? Also, The X-files clearly is the best! (That last one isn't a question, but a statement.

80: Over, Under, and the Little Debbie Swiss Roll

Taylor and Eric have been fighting for days and its time to take a little break... a bathroom break. They find themselves each a wonderful toilet house to get down to business and take a breather from the quest to rule the world. But wait! This toilet paper roll is dispensing its sheets over the top and opposed to out from under! There is no such thing as breaks from the quest to rule the world! Is over the top the correct way?

79: Cash or Card?

Taylor and Eric need to gift some funds to their allies in their quest to rule the world. But what is more acceptable to gift; straight up cash? Or gift cards?

Is one more meaningful that the other? Listen to today's episode and find out! Thank you for listening! Leave us a rating and tell your friends!

78: 50-50

Taylor and Eric decide to hold a fundraiser in support of their quest to rule the world. The 50/50 draw contributions begin to climb over the course of the event, and as the dollars keep coming in, it begins to dawn on them... Are we expecting to receive the entirety of the amount donated? Or will we be okay if one of these participants walks away with half the cash? Wouldn't it be more charitable if all dollars go towards the cause? Should the winner feel shame for claiming their prize? Does it matter if they know to what they are contributing to?

Taylor and Eric are carrying out the battle for world ruling into the holiday season. Taylor has an idea, why not go in under cover? And what better disguise than Santa Claus! But wait, what elements of a Santa costume are the most important? Is it enough to simply be yourself in a Santa suit? If they know it's you, do you need to wear the beard?

76: Okay to Respond With K (Part 1)

Taylor and Eric are getting setup to plan another incursion in our quest to rule the world. As one requests a few minutes to get set up, the other responds with the brief and singular character 'k'. Hmm... Is this beginning to spell tension in our two heroes? Or does the 'k' simply mean, "okay", and in, acknowledged, all is good, et cetera? Would an 'o' paired with the 'k' been more fitting? Or should we stick to full spelling with "Okay"? Just how much emotion should we read into the manner somebody texts? Listen in and find out!

Congratulations Taylor on having entered into wedlock! And with a wedding, comes a wedding band. Not the musical kind, but the one you wear on your finger. So the question is, when is it okay to take off your wedding band? And when is it even advisable that you remove it? Will sunlight, sweat, and dirt damage your ring? What about water? What about temperature? What about a global pandemic? We discuss these and more in today's episode. Listen and join in!

74: Bob Has to Speak Because Dan’s an Idiot

Taylor and Eric take their cause to cyberspace and proceed with planning over video conference. There is no time to lose! But because of the rush, we keep starting speaking  the same time!  As comical as it may seem speaking over one another consistently, how can we best determine who is rightfully to speak first? Does the one who gets to speak first have the authority to pass control back to the other? Does content and length matter? Does the one who peaks second have a spot reserved? Or does it complete collapse into a free for all? Listen in and find out!

73: You Gotta Come Over For Some Nomowmays Sometime

Taylor and Eric are back in the mix bringing you a two-rule Tuesday! The quest to rule the world is gaining momentum, and we are here to hammer out whether it is acceptable in this day and age to answer someone else's cell phone? Does it matter if you know the phone owner? Does it matter if you know the caller? Does it matter at all? What's the big deal? Also, we touch on them diagonally cut lawns that you pass by when you're out for a walk. What's up with that? Is this a snob type move? Someone fishing for the most obscure corner to find attention? Or does it actually serve a purpose? Listen in to find out! Share your own thoughts and rule suggestions on our FaceBook page, or on Instagram @terwpod, or on Twitter @erickianfar and @mightayducks.

Taylor and Eric unpack the drive-in theater field experience from last week's episode. All this talk about funnel cakes and nachos is getting us thirsty for... wait... milk? But there's something off about it... No, it's not that it's past it's date, but that someone had put ice cubes in the beverage!? Is that normal? Is that acceptable?

66: Forced Routing....Routing

66: Forced Routing....Routing

Taylor and Eric continue their quest in a world of isolation. Some friends tag along and share some much needed recon info. Also, some real-world experience may throw wrenches into the system. Is maintaining physical distance on us, or the delivery person? What happens if following grocery store routing puts you behind five slow bodies? Is there any good way to duck out of a group video call? Listen to this episode and find out! Thank you so much for listening in, please subscribe and tell your friends!

65: Sidewalk Chicken

Taylor and Eric brush the dust bunnies off and emerge from isolation. Although still operating remotely (and possibly plagued with the rustling sounds of isolation beards) they take a stroll down the local sidewalk to get some air. Oh no! Strangers approach coming the opposite way? How do we maintain appropriate physical distance during this pandemic? How do we decide who moves first? This along with other situations we face during the current pandemic on this week's episode! Thank you for listening, leave a rating and please share with your friends!

64: Lights, Camera, Isolation

Taylor and Eric are both observing social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, we will see when it is safe to once again band together and hammer a podcast episode down together. In the meantime, we may upload some solo episodes. This episode features Eric, solo. Many are pushing their lists of the best movies to watch during quarantine, and Eric takes a look at some of the first articles online, and picks and chooses from them all to create one final ISOLATION TOP TEN MOVIES TO WATCH! Along with some honourable mentions. Thank you for listening. If you have comments on your own, or wish to add any corrections, please get in touch!

62: How Many Boyfriends Do You Have?

62: How Many Boyfriends Do You Have?

Taylor and Eric have come across a friend who put an old tradition that we all take for granted into the ruling zone. When it is your birthday, is it gross to blow out the candles? What if I were to blow over your regular everyday food, does that gross you out? Are we to do away with candles altogether? If so, what are acceptable alternatives to birthday candles? Listen to this week's episode and find out! Thank you for listening! You can share your own thoughts and suggestions on our Facebook page.

61: Throw In Some Diced Carrots

61: Throw In Some Diced Carrots

Taylor and Eric are being bombarded with long-winded stories. Not the ones with too much personal information, but the kind where they keep droning on and aren’t taking the hint that you either don’t have interest, or that the over-detailed nothing story is keeping you from other commitments. What are Taylor and Eric to do? Continue standing around with listening ears? Be upfront and bring the conversation to a close? Help the story along? Are we being selfish? Listen in and find out!

60: Rules of Engagement

60: Rules of Engagement

Taylor and Eric are continuing celebrations for the many victories in their quest to rule the world... but this is strange, we don't think anyone at this party actually knows who we are. Is it alright to attend a party where you only know the host? Is it a burden on the host when you can't socialize with anyone but them? With whom does the responsibility lie to make sure you get properly mingled into the social group? Listen in and find out!

59: The Baby Window

59: The Baby Window

Taylor and Eric have a few victory parties to attend for battles won in their quest to rule the world! The parties are filled with many people, most of whom join in the festivities, but have not met the heroes in person. Just how do we introduce ourselves at parties? Do you do it all in one big swoop? Do you meet people in many tiny engagements over the course of a window of time? Is there a moment in time when it's too late to introduce yourself? How do we go about introducing ourselves without looking like a fool? Listen in and find out!

58: Let Them Eat Cake

58: Let Them Eat Cake

Taylor and Eric are looking to host a belated birthday party for a friend. Friends have been contacted, cake is in order, cards are in the making at Sam's corner. One of the attendees messages in and asks "What about this other guy's birthday that also occurred not too long ago? We didn't celebrate that...should we celebrate it as well?" What are we to do? Do we shoehorn another celebration into the existing one? Contacting everyone to double their efforts? Do we require two cakes? How far back do we go in regards to all previously missed birthday celebrations? Listen in and find out!

57: Making Smarks Sharter

57: Making Smarks Sharter

Taylor and Eric are ready to check out some good 'ol media. In comes all the recommendations of shows, movies, and music in which we are told we should definitely indulge. What if we have a really good feeling that their recommendation is not for us? Is it impolite to inform the recommending party that we have no intention to follow through on their recommendation? Do we have to give it a chance at least? With the millions upon millions of hours of content out there growing every day, is it even a worthwhile point to put any value in a recommendation? Listen in this week and see how you might want to react in such a situation.

56: I'm Bringing Fuhmp Tubes Into the New Year

Taylor and Eric's journey enters a new year, and there has been many a trend and fad encountered on their quest to rule the world. Now entering a new decade, which trends/fads are we bringing with us? And which will be left to die, if not already dead? When was the last time you used a selfie stick? Are you still competing in the mannequin challenge? Are you up for some axe throwing, or would you rather hit up an escape room? Is it worth resurrecting the Vine? Is it cooler to dance the floss? Twerk? Or dab? Listen along and share if you agree or disagree with our choices. Is there anything you'd like to add to the list? Please share on our Facebook page. On Instagram at terwpod.

Taylor and Eric are in need of supplies to support their quest, but we are trying to cut costs wherever possible. We begin to shop online for used items being sold by other questers. How can it be so difficult? You post the item with a price, we come and pick it up for that price. Is it that simple? Does it take balls to low ball? Can you haggle at the door? Can we expect delivery? What exactly is the etiquette for buying used items online? Listen in and find out!
