Sterling and Kortney start out with a spat about fungi before revelling in the return of The Matrix. Later, someone is finally going to deal with the growing space junk problem Earth is having which bothers the hosts more than they realized. Sterling possibly encounters a ghost, maybe? Also bothersome are the hosts of a reality show on Netflix, but there are recommendations for better things to watch and listen to.

149. the beard of your heart

It’s a joyous holiday season as an ailing Sterling celebrates his official first Father’s Day and Juneteenth by hanging out at Virtuous Con and the fascinating panels he attended. A quick trip into a black hole storm (very brief due to a tech-heavy read) followed by the confirmation of UAPs (or as we know them, UFOs, but also a heavy read) and the return of Sheboygan News and a very large octopus. Sterling takes Kortney for another round of “Florida or Floridon’t” and then attempts to fry her mind with the concept of a tachyonic antitelephone. Lastly, tell us what you call the objects Sterling describes since we all have different names for them.

DISCLAIMER: This, unfortunately, is another episode with audio issues particularly in the latter half of the show. We apologize for the inconvenience if you have trouble hearing/understanding.

In this episode, Sterling learned that he’s not as young as he used to be and the importance of stretching. Another Word Watch article about obscure punctuation marks, #askindoob listener mail, and BHF: AJ Smitherman. There’s a huge plug for our good friend Portia and her recent interviews with Bloomberg and CNN regarding remote work post-pandemic lockdowns.

Sterling plays a new game with Kortney called “Florida or Floridon’t” and attempts to freak her out with the legendary footballfish. A question about birthdays; and a cautionary tale and a PSA regarding Zoom calls that apparently still need to be heard in the year 2021.
