96: Dragging Jean Tales
21/06/2021 Duração: 41minTaylor and Eric are taking on quite many cuts and scrapes along their quest to rule the world.

95: Time of the Bob
07/06/2021 Duração: 50minTaylor 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!

89: Drying Your Boots? Throw in the Towel
29/03/2021 Duração: 35minTaylor and Eric's quest has had them tread through some swampy paths.

88: Am I Snowblowing this Out of Proportion?
15/03/2021 Duração: 41minTaylor 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
08/03/2021 Duração: 50minTaylor 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'?

85: Leftovers! Cooked Meals in Disguise!
16/02/2021 Duração: 44minTaylor 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!

84: The Chatham Goodbye
08/02/2021 Duração: 47minTaylor 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?

82: Hitting a Bread End
26/01/2021 Duração: 36minTaylor and Eric break to have lunch to 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?
