Episode 5: “I Don’t Care, You Pick": Real, Recorded and Random Decision Making

Opposable Thumbs

Artist Hương Ngô joins us this week! Chicago in the house! We consider the cinematic grossness of windblown shopping bags to the face. Our helium shortage is real and Rob is wasting it being dreamy. There is a champion of rock, paper scissors... and a robot champion... Hương hurls a rock through "I would show more work by ________ but I just don't know any..." Taylor creates some high burrs with his orthogonal strategies.

Ken Nordine and Brian Eno walk into a bar and say to the bartender... "Pour me a Pull Yourself Up By Your Bootstraps." The bartender says "Who do I look like, Ben Franklin? Try the The Dream Machine, instead." Put that in your technicolor dream coat and smoke it! Try to end the day on a solution.

Special Guest: Hương Ngô.
