    This episode, we are cone-maxing. Dan Jolin joins us to talk Letterboxd, the opposite of sex, and listening to his spouse's sound advice. Somehow we got through a guest episode without mentioning Monopoly DEAL. Although, Tom still managed to sneak in a brief aside about The A Minecraft Movie.

  • #79 Date Night Game Night
    Feb 10 2026

    Don't listen to this one in a public setting, it might just make you blush... from all the anger you're experiencing at our incapacity to produce a successful date. It's telling that we're so capable of making dates uncomfortable but can't make a good one happen even when we sit down and brainstorm for half an hour.
