My Hill To Die On

Recorded February 9, 2025 This week Nate and Ryan are continuing to think about the logistical and moral implications of cloning. So in keeping with that important discussion, they begin with Pinocchio and Disco Zoo. After that, they discuss different things they have ended up with multiple copies of. Following their customary odd flavors from Japan (which were especially odd this time) they turn to the main media. During that conversation, they discuss McCarthyism, the importance of backing up data, and the worst possible job description as they talk about the books Mickey7 and Antimatter...

<p>Recorded September 1, 2024</p> <p class="mhtdo_summary">This week, Nate went to yet another amusement park- one not so dilapidated this time. Then, Ryan talks about a game that seems to have been designed for the venn diagram that is his entire personality. Afterwards, they have a KitKat cereal and a (better than usual) Calpis, only to discuss data backups. Then, they focus their discussion on the social implications of cloning, what makes up a soul, and one woman&rsquo;s solution for dealing with people she just doesn&rsquo;t like in their discussion of the book,...

My Hill To Die On

Recorded June 28, 2024 This week, Nate brings the perfect trifecta of “Nate topics” to discuss: He bought (yet another) Synology, expresses his concerns over Cross country event planning, and also talks about a new, old amusement park he visited. Then Ryan endures another Calpis (mango this time), before they discuss books that were influential for the young Nate and Ryan. They then wrap up the episode by discussing detail-oriented writing, being a decent person, and Ryan’s insidious plot to make his student read good books in their discussion of The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison....

Recorded March 31, 2024 And we’re back! After a (not so) short hiatus, Nate and Ryan resume their antics with a discussion of what makes a game, bread point inflation, and musical theatre.
