In which we discuss Bono, _It's A Small World_, the Black Death, and Wagner. Is the sound better? I can't even tell anymore. Buckle up for entertainment!

An age-old curse is lifted; now stop hitting us with that net. The regulars discuss Jaws, Aphex Twin, Zeus (have we not drawn enough supernatural ire already?), and yes, Animal Crossing. Please enjoy this as you have been conditioned to do, which is to say by not complaining about the sound quality because it's familiar from at least a dozen Zoom meetings. (This is our first fully-remote podcast, thanks for your forbearance! We'll get better at it.)

Your favorite rear dog of the sled returns, although the regulars plus Kat Jercich don't in fact manage to discuss the Iditarod much. Mike's LCD Soundsystem references get no love, and the kids are uptight. Brendan cobbles together, on the fly during our break, the most challenging and exciting round of This or That in the program's history. Nothing in the rules says an otter can't love himself. It's Think Again, My Friend. Mush.

Some people say not to worry about the air, but it's touching you right now, just like TAMF. To be clear, this was recorded when Portland was experiencing some severe air quality issues. We had some quality issues of our own, notably with Christen and Brendan's microphones; not all of the sound glitches could be worked out in post, and we're sorry.

It's seldom but regularly tax time, and it's always dog time; somewhere in between, it's TAMF time. Topics discussed by the regulars, now including Ed Hawkins, include Leona Helmsley, cannons, and children. The sound may have a certain quality. Enjoy.

There are no easy references in this episode of TAMF, by which I mean there are no references to Easy Bake Ovens. We make our first use of foley, unless it isn't foley anymore when the sound you hear is actually made by what it purports to be made by …

Wouldn't it be nice to take a break from one thing happening after another? What better way than with the continuity error of a podcast that we call TAMF? The regulars discuss basics, George Lucas, cemeteries, secret history, the Berenstain Bears amidst other conspiracies, and Max Headroom.

With the regulars, plus friend of the show Kat for added hilarity and subtracted audio quality (we still don't handle more than four players very well; working on it). Many of the things we discussed must not be named. It's possible that they shouldn't be discussed either, in which case …

Coming out pro for the Oxford comma, it's the return of TAMF. Discussed are Alex Trebek, Rambo, and Julius Caesar, all of which are proper nouns and therefore disqualified. With the regulars.

With the regulars, one of whom is heroically Skyping in over public WiFi in New York City, but that wasn't enough of a hero's journey for Tom, oh no. Topics include: nitrogen.
