Recorded May 17, 2026 As we continue to seek the truth in all things and the inane details within everything, Ryan attempts to bring us the least educational of educational games. He has brought together old "favorite" contestants Keith, Nate, Shi, and Terence as they attempt to out-nerd each other in pedantic details with the 1.0 version of the game Technically Correct.

Recorded April 27, 2025 This week Nate and Ryan decided to play another game. So Ryan, perhaps foolishly, surveyed a number of listeners, coworkers, students, and whoever else he could corner, and he asked them the important fundamental questions of human existence—questions like "what song gets stuck in your head" or "which is the best muppet?" Then he invited Keith, Nash, Shi, Sylvain, and Terence to join Nate in trying to figure out how people responded, in the 100% definitely, legally-distinct game, "Colleague Clash".
