Well, here is the new book we all get to read together! We apologize for nothing!! And hey, a bunch of listeners requested this one, so if you want someone to blame we will name names!
But in all seriousness, this should be very fun, and will be a welcome change of pace from the last book, ...

Nice thumbnail selection youtube! Here is the drawing of the names of the Lucky (can we get a fact check on this? -ed) winners of our copies of 64-SQUARES. In theory this means you will now have TWO copies of this book in your home. We assume no responsibility for the effect this may have on your...
2019-02-27 17:39:42 +0000 UTC View PostWe've wrapped up the saga of Titus Uno, etc, and it's time to find these books a permanent home. If you'd like to win our copies of the books, complete with notes, signature, maybe some of Mike's hideous character portraits, leave a comment here. We'll pick two at random, and you'll each get one ...
2019-02-25 13:35:42 +0000 UTC View PostWe unearthed two different reenactments from the Dark Web for this episode but as it turned out, the reenactors, unbeknownst to each other, wrote eerily similar material. Rather than push the podcast closer to the 2.5 hour mark, we're putting it here for patreon supporters. Enjoy!
2019-02-24 16:55:45 +0000 UTC View PostAll good things must come to an end. On a completely unrelated note, this book also must come to an end.
And what an ending it is! After pages and pages of repeated text and detailed descriptions of the families of characters who are never mentioned again, we get some actual, honest to god ...
2019-02-24 16:53:32 +0000 UTC View PostWho is the Sheriff of 372 Pages?
Sorry, just trying out our new catchphrase. Nobody better be laughing!! We have an absolutely jam packed episode this week, because despite maybe 40% of this week's assigned reading being the same block of typo-ridden copy/paste text, there was a lot to talk...
2019-02-15 13:53:21 +0000 UTC View PostIf you've read the middle third of this book, one thing is clear: it's even worse than we thought. Perhaps a second thing is also clear: there is absolutely no way to keep track of all these people.
I propose we make an organization chart to track the 64-SQUARES corporate hierarchy! Startin...

Well, you guys really set the bar high with this contest and it was very hard to pick a winner. We loved the Kindergarten Cop madness, all the variants of CPA, FCPA etc. It was very hard not to pick one that prominently featured Neil Breen. Very well done on the disdainful Robot Pimp callback AND...

So much to unpack here in our first discussion of The Forensic Certified Public Accountant and the Cremated 64-SQUARES Financial Statements. We've got kid...

Alright, it seems like you all are just as excited as us about this new book. We're set to record (and hopefully release) the first 64-SQUARES episode on Friday. But I thought to lead up we would do something fun for Patreon supporters.
Let's see your best 64-Squares memes. Incorporat...
2019-02-06 21:48:38 +0000 UTC View PostWell, we've found a new book to read together, and it certainly appears to be something special. More in the vein of "Eye of Argon", this is one that was never going to hit the best seller list. But based on early scans it seems like it will be a lot of fun to dive into. Or maybe it'll be like Th...
2019-01-30 17:02:37 +0000 UTC View PostThe evidence:
I loaded up all the names of people who commented on the TekWar post into a random name picker and let it do its thing. (learned this technique from a corgi IG account I follow)
Congrats to the winner! Email 372pages@gmail.com with your address/contact info and we will send you out a copy o...

Alright, having watched the movie, it's time to close the book (😎) on TekWar, and that means getting the book the hell out of my house. In the past we've auctioned them off, but now I'd like to give it to a random Patreon supporter. So if you're interested in getting a copy of tekwar full of b...
2019-01-24 14:07:00 +0000 UTC View PostWell, we watched TekWar The Movie and it did not disappoint (unless you were hoping for a sweet Globo Nude Scene...)
It's extremely interesting to see what made the cut, what didn't and what inexplicably got altered. Sombrero wearing robots? GONE! Plump Sonny Hokori? GONE! Sub-Lawnmower Man...

Well that's convenient, it looks like the entire Tekwar movie is on youtube. Bookmark it, we'll be watching it soon!
2019-01-11 14:41:56 +0000 UTC View PostWell, the pace sure as hell was unrelenting, folks. We've reached the end of TekWar, and there both is and isn't a lot to talk about. Chest-high walls, disdainful robot pimps, the brief and wondrous life of Sonny Hokori are all just the tip of the iceberg. Thanks to all who hitched their wagons t...
2019-01-11 13:52:02 +0000 UTC View PostIf you'd told us way back in Episode 25 - Meetings About Sonny Hokori, if we'd still be having meetings about Sonny Hokori 150 pages later, we would have thrown the book across the room. And yet, here we are.
We're back after the holiday break (feeling kind of glum, guess we just miss Ogden...

We won't be back with a new episode until the new year, but to tide you over, here is the long awaited bonus episode wh...
2018-12-26 14:40:52 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 22 of Tekwar may be the second stupidest chapter we've read on this podcast. The first, of course, being the one in Armada where The Emissary just, you know, cures cancer and every other disease. But this one is close. We will explain why in great detail.
We'll also FINALLY meet one of the...

UPDATE!: Man, oh, man, "plasdome" confounded nearly everyone!
2ND UPDATE: It didn't make the quiz, but "Plascrate" is now a thing. Really. Chap. 25, I believe.

2018-12-07 13:13:53 +0000 UTC View PostLook, we all love Sonny Hokori and Bennet Sands and Dr. Kittridge's insanely hot daughter. We love to hear Jake discuss those people in quirky alleys with people we've never met and probably will never hear from again. But for the love of god, do we need FOUR CONSECUTIVE CHAPTERS of these meetings??...
2018-11-30 13:50:43 +0000 UTC View PostNo new episode this week because we are too busy making Hot Cheeto encrusted Turkey for Thanksgiving, but what we do have is a brand new opportunity to calibrate your tastes with ours! Sure, you know how we feel about Ernest Cline books, but what about Tone Loc? The Sistine Chapel? Or Clint Howard f...
2018-11-20 19:24:17 +0000 UTC View PostTo the inattentive and brainless layman* it might appear that not much happened during this stretch of TekWar. Mostly Jake aka Jonatha and Juanito aka The Android(???) just sat and talked to people about other people we haven't met yet. Somehow, we discussed this for nearly two hours.
Folks steppe...
