First COVID episode. Why furries make the Internet go. Overalls vs. speedsuits. Back to optical drive emulators (the first part of which ended up on the cutting room floor due to audio issues). Neo Geo and PC Engine talk. Atari patches. DOOM Eternal. World of Horror is fantastic and getting moreso all the time. Gun talk. MREs.

Third in a series of three pre-quarantine episodes recorded in person at Doug’s house. Throwin’ down at the church picnic. Cheap European beer and bullshit American wine. It’s hard to read Lovecraft now. The implications of Tim & Eric on transhumanism. Doug very much fails to follow a description of the movie My Dinner with Andre. Casey brings chicken tenders and we immediately sign off. “What does Doug think about when talking to Adam?” and the thing Richard asked Adam to ask Doug are in the spank bank.

Second in a series of three pre-quarantine episodes recorded in person at Doug’s house. American History X. Trover Saves the Universe. The EDF deploys! Ghost is not as terrible a band as Doug thought, but KISS might be. Tolkien stuff.

First in a series of three pre-quarantine episodes recorded in person at Doug’s house. Trans stuff, religious tents, taking over Scientology. Meat Loaf, Mad Men and car stuff. Edward Furlong’s illustrious acting/singing careers. (You get to listen to us listen to him with birds screaming in the background.) Bruce Willis and Tastykakes. GIN BREAK!

OSR. New podcast cover image that never came to fruition because, again, Doug forgot. Star Trek: Fleet Captains. Bird distraction. Voyager is a place where nothing ever happens. We try reasonably hard not to make the episode about Jeffrey Combs. The Man From Earth. Millennials. Determinism is in the spank bank. Gentrification wrap-up.

Part two of the episode Doug forgot to edit for like a year. The continuation of Doug’s failed Paranoia game, continued. Convention modules/Tower of Gygax/Arkham Horror Card Game. Fuck CCGs. All dressed potato chips. Defunct CCGs. CCG addiction. Conventions. Food constructs. Teaser for next episode: OSR.

Several technical difficulties. Dungeons & Dragons. Old D&D. 1000 Blank White Cards. TheStar Wars and Ghostbusters RPGs. Doug’s failed Paranoia game.

Adam is the resident audiophile/anti-audiophile of OYM. Laser turntables. Introducing Tony! Loud birds continue to be loud. The Church of the SubGenius is in the spank bank. The president’s chungus. Would you upload yourself into a Cheeto? Adam will infect uploaded Doug like a virus to prevent his galactic domination. Hard solipsism. Vaping. Macaulay Culkin. The software concerns of uploading consciousness. Racism. Bitcoin and pedophilia. Is it transhumanism or not? The car of Theseus. Sentience. Philosophers in Space. We decode the universal human condition. Keyboards.

Cold open: Doug effed it! The hot new may-may. Bad people/sandwiches. The first brain-storage waiting list. Transhumanism defined. Brent Spiner is awesome. Subsets of transhumanists. Altered Carbon and “sleeving.” This is all philosophical. From beer to consciousness. A crossover with Beyond Caring re: Westworld is in the spank bank. The relative merits of Star Trek series. Ensign Ricky sucks. Star Trek is in the spank bank. Loud birds are loud (and racist). Technology must prove itself. Doug’s mad at Microsoft. Gin. Smartwatches and alarm clocks. Neal Stephenson. Styli. The birds derail us again. Soma and uploading consciousness.

Cannibalism. Sharp turn back into video games. New games for DOS. Keeping old computers around. Feelies. Casey flashes her Zorkmids. 3.5″ floppy disks are no longer practical (shock, horror). Optical drive replacements for old game consoles. Adam and Doug are the same person because they both own an obscure Dreamcast game. Making our own bootleg shirts. Amid Evil. Quake. The X-Files. David Icke. Our president and his dumb supporters. Jimmy Carter’s killdozer. Fucked up on life. Monticello. Blood (the game, not the bodily fluid). Command line interfaces. Dark Corners of the Earth. Darkest Dungeon. Gabe and Tycho are dicks. So are Doug and Adam. Next time: Transhumanism.

Spoiler: All the killdozers are in the next episode. Cold open: mild audio bungling. Nixie tubes and Nimo tubes and electronics as art. (Doug incorrectly states that Nimo tubes require tens of thousands of volts. It’s actually 1700V.) Some analog video talk. We measure our display dicks (Adam wins). The Scots personality in a nutshell. Atari is in the spank bank. First person shooters! Computer shows. Heroes of Might and Magic. MAME. (Doug incorrectly states that the Raspberry Pi 3 has several gigs of RAM. It’s actually 1GB.) Intel vs AMD. Doug’s unhealthy attachment to certain versions of Windows. “Wrapping up” shooter talk.

Subpar audio continues, but (fingers crossed!) it should be fixed by next episode. Our show’s title. Selling stuff on Amazon. Josh’s impromptu Latvian joke. Brinkers, much like juggalos, don’t die. Sega talk. Righteous indignation. Dreamcast sports games. Way too much talking about ALF Magazine. ALF is racist. Doug can’t shut up about ALF Magazine. Adam isn’t super into drugs. Activision games are in the Spank Bank. Suddenly Seymour!

In this second recording session, Adam and Doug mention the audio issues they had with the first session while unknowingly introducing several new ones. Expensive headphones. The comparative merits of old-school video games and consoles. The Mother series. Shenmue. Deadly Premonition is in the Spank Bank. Weird foot stuff. Henry Cavill’s mustache. Special effects; John Candy or John Lithgow? Movies that know they’re stupid. Full Moon is in the Spank Bank.

The final part of the first recording session continues on; Doug and Adam agree that Black Sabbath is the reason why it matters what your guitar sounds like. Adam talks about the time where Dee Snider fooled him into thinking he’s someone else, Doug knows a symphonic songwriter who’s Hard Tolkien, Adam refuses to let Dio go, Dio comes up yet again, and Adam lays down the groundwork for superfan status on Disco Metal

This episode continues Doug and Adam’s conversation from last episode and starts with how Tom Waits should go into advertising to children.  The two go back and forth talking about some top tier covers that Doug has assembled into talking points.  Adam also occasionally interjects bits and bobs without thought or structure; get used to this.  Adam-selected highlights include: Dio needing to sing songs from Public Access music videos, Metallica losing to Irish Folk music, Fleetwood Mac getting metal as fuck, and System of a Down singing about footjobs.

Doug and Adam’s friends all say that they’re essentially the same
person, despite the obvious differences; in order to put that thought to
rest, they started another podcast. In the first arc of the series,
they have a conversation on how they got here that sprawls in every possible direction, but then pivots into the topic of their respective appreciation of song
covers. Adam forgets the difference between Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits and Doug is ambivalent on the subject of pants.
