S3E9: Culture Club: Clarkson's Farm

July 17, 2024 15:45 - 58 minutes - 56 MB

Welcome to Wednesday, winners! We dig in deep on our World of Warcraft thoughts and experiences before asking an age-old question about what skills we could spontaneously master. For our culture club we watched Clarkson's Farm and learn a lot about SOIL and boy do we have thoughts! Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez by the band Fasions.

S3E8: Quizzes!

July 03, 2024 04:43 - 54 minutes - 38.8 MB

Hello and welcome once again! Did you think we were done talking about allergies? Oh you foolish mortal, no, we are all Mother Nature's bitch and she will punish us for our hubris! We talk serving size lies and pies before moving on to our activity in which our deepest secrets are laid bare before you like Natalie Imbruglia once sang. Are you a cupcaker or an apple piesman? Do you prefer the cheugy style of Dorothy to the daring of Ms Blanche Devereux? All this and the customary more in this ...

Talkin'bout Traits

June 19, 2024 03:17 - 58 minutes - 46.8 MB

Welcome back! On the docket this week is the age old question of which animals are actually jerks? This season’s allergy arc possibly concludes? Whether you should stay up late into the deep AMs? How about falling into Fallout? There's a definite musical leitmotif as we talk the weirdest instruments and the fad that very briefly flared and died out too quickly: SINGO! For our activity we discuss the various traits that make people into people. Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and out...

S3E7: Talkin'bout Traits

June 19, 2024 03:17 - 58 minutes - 46.8 MB

Welcome back! On the docket this week is the age old question of which animals are actually jerks? This season’s allergy arc possibly concludes? Whether you should stay up late into the deep AMs? How about falling into Fallout? There's a definite musical leitmotif as we talk the weirdest instruments and the fad that very briefly flared and died out too quickly: SINGO!

S3E6: Would You Rather?

June 05, 2024 01:54 - 51 minutes - 38.4 MB

Happy Wednesday! Let's talk about a weekend in April! We get into Edgar Allen Poe, the joy of play, and the instant and overwhelming regret generated from transitional lenses. Just don't do it! You don't want to look like you just got back from hustling at the local pool hall. A tough question is posed regarding things we should like, and we play several rounds of Would You Rather for our activity! Also, would you like to know more about the worst intersection in the world? Boy have we got yo...

S3E5: Gratitoad!

May 22, 2024 14:16 - 1 hour - 51.4 MB

Welcome back! Let's get ready to get gracious! We've been doing cleaning and it's putting a fine polish on our mental health. Nick starts naming names, just count how many people you don't know that he namechecks, including SOME both first and last names because, OH BOY, does he have boundary issues! An off-hand mention of a weird game leads to a discussion of the Merits of Momoa and, while we express gratitude, the Demerits of Glitter. Plus gardening talk! Our art is by @ManOverMars and our...

S3E4 Polite Society, or is it?

May 08, 2024 02:10 - 48 minutes - 34.8 MB

Buckle in because it's the beginning of our multi-episode allergy update arc! Nick drove forever and ever, and has Opinions about Arizona. For our discussion, we talk streaming services and tendencies, plus an obsessive reality show! It's a Culture Club week where we talk about 2023's British sci-fi rom-com coming of age martial arts masterpiece(?) Polite Society. We're ballpark buds, but there's a good amount of daylight! Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez by...

S3 E3: SPORTS! or SPORT!

April 24, 2024 05:04 - 44 minutes - 35.7 MB

It's Good Wednesday again, that means a piping hot Talk à Deux direct from the oven. Put on your ov-glove and dig in as we talk SPORTS! Not just a Huey Lewis album, but also a thing that people play! We discuss our personal relationship to SPORTS, whether it's SPORTS or SPORT, and then do a couple Madlibs for good measure. A heads up that our next episode is a Culture Club episode in which we will be discussing Nick's 2023 Film of the Year candidate, Polite Society. You should be able to find...

S3E2: Beverage Draft

April 11, 2024 02:02 - 58 minutes - 59.4 MB

Now that it's spring it's so hot, isn't it? Does that make you thirsty? Could you go for a cold drink right about now? What about a hot bev? You like the hot bev and the cold bev, don't you? Well so do we! This episode we draft beverages and leave nothing on the table for anyone else! Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez by the band Fasions.

Hello, internet! Long time, no see, how are you? You good? I love what you've done with your hair! We're back! In this episode I hope you brought the mustard because we brought the catchin' up! We embrace our inner old people and talk about what we've been doing for the past TWO YEARS. Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez by the band Fasions.

Episode 24: Fruit Talk

December 02, 2021 03:12 - 1 hour - 59.6 MB

We're back! We missed you! Did you change your hair while we were on hiatus because it looks GREAT! In this episode we catch up a little, but not as much as you may expect because we had ACTUALLY done that the week before in an episode that was eaten and cannot be released. But, hey, look, we talk about our favorite fruits so everything is all good all the same!

Episode 23: Warm Blanket is Dogs

March 10, 2021 06:24 - 45 minutes - 48.2 MB

This episode would make more sense if one or both of us was under the influence of something, but I swear to you by Great Odin's Ravens, Huginn, and Muninn, that we were sober as judges. But we got WEIRD. Maybe the most normal part was where we talked about photos of cows for several minutes and then asked the question of the ages--Is cows dogs? What about horses? Can an inanimate object be is dogs? Our activity for the episode is another round of gratitude where ONE HOST big-dogs the other ...

Episode 22: Movie Club! Eddie the Eagle

February 24, 2021 07:53 - 49 minutes - 49 MB

Someone call Boy George because we've got another Culture Club episode coming up! We watched Eddie the Eagle, a heartwarming film about breaking every bone in your body because Wolverine shows you how to do it. But before we do that we discuss the children's movies that traumatized us and the adult movies (but not that kind of adult movie) that we watched at way too early an age... It's the episode where you learn way too much about Standing High Jump! Our art is by @ManOverMars and our int...

Episode 21: UnicornPooplibs

February 10, 2021 07:45 - 42 minutes - 44.5 MB

Talk a Deux Season Two (which RHYMES) rolls along with a remarkably abstract question that has both of us wondering the difference between fall and winter--not literally, of course, we all know that winter is when Persephone is in the underworld with Hades because we're cool Hellenistic teens. Classi reads a letter and soup is finally given its time to shine. For our activity we play another round of MadLibs and see if you can identify the moment Nick gives up on his pledge to be maximum rau...

Episode 20: Numbers Draft

January 27, 2021 07:08 - 45 minutes - 43.1 MB

Take the first 19 episodes, press them into an album next to some nice flowers you found once and photos of you on a tire swing in the 9th grade then put Season One of Talk à Deux onto the mantle, because we're coming strong with Season Two of Talk à Deux--this time, with structure! Classi discusses the ins and outs of streaming and Twitch's new, as of when we recorded it, policy regarding various words. She has good and not-so-good things to say about Call of Duty. In our draft this time ar...

Episode 19: Exhaustive Eccentric Exercise Equipment Enumeration

January 13, 2021 10:34 - 1 hour - 66.6 MB

New year, new you! Guess who titled this episode? We catch up with one another after a brief hiatus from recording and commiserate over Twitch's asinine policies which, at the time, were new and are now simply very obnoxious. Then we talk about resolutions and goals and why we're not very big fans of either, but why we're doing both. Our activity this week is to discuss some of the weirdest exercise gimmicks that you should prooobably avoid if you're trying to get in shape this year. Happy 20...

Episode 18: Social Media, the Dilemma

December 30, 2020 07:11 - 37 minutes - 37.5 MB

We watched The Social Dilemma, available on Netflix, and discuss our relations--both positive and negative--to social media. But before all that, it had been a while since we last recorded and spent some good quality time, just two buds catching up. Our question this week centered on off-line hobbies and how we made time for them between all our work and time spent on... social media... How thematically cohesive! If it seems like we planned it that way, you're darn right we did! And--for the ...

Episode 17: Travel

December 16, 2020 16:49 - 55 minutes - 54.2 MB

Happy fortnight since our last episode! Our gift for you is... Another episode! It's just the two of us this time around as we talk about all things travel. Not just where we would and would not like to go, but how we would prefer to get there. Plus, if you step foot on a boat in any way, what's most likely going to happen? Do we like lounging? We probably should have talked about beaches at some point, that would just make sense, but in hindsight the fact that we didn't talk about them at al...

Episode 16: Holiday Would You Rather with KilroyKilljoy

December 02, 2020 08:28 - 53 minutes - 61.7 MB

We're joined by Classi's friend and Nick's NEW friend KilroyKilljoy, who streams on twitch at twitch.tv/KilroyKilljoy to talk clothes, fashion, and obviously we're going to hit on video games because, come on, you've listened to the previous 15 episodes. We are who we are! As a fun side game see if you can count how many times Nick received a text mid-recording from one political campaign or another... Whatever the final count is, double it and that's the actual amount, because the ones you ...

Episode 15: Thanksgiving Madlibs with Mellie

November 18, 2020 07:47 - 52 minutes - 44.7 MB

We're joined by Classi's friend and Nick's NEW friend sugarmellie, who streams on twitch at twitch.tv/sugarmellie and who you can find by just typing her name into the search bar of any website! That's what happens when you're talented like she is, you can be found on ANY website, but we suggest Googling her if the direct link doesn't work. We talk about Thanksgiving and living that sweet stream life. What instrument did Nick want to learn, but gave up on almost as quickly as he gave up on t...

Episode 14: Holidays

November 05, 2020 18:41 - 1 hour - 60.5 MB

We play a new game and talk about holidays. If you wondered why the previous episode was ever so briefly labeled as Episode 14, it's because this was recorded earlier and by now, I quite honestly forget what else was in it, just that it's a real good one!

Episode 13: Costume Draft

October 21, 2020 19:20 - 53 minutes - 55 MB

It's Halloween so OF COURSE we're going to talk about costumes and try to predict the trends that will define 2020's spookiest season. This was recorded shortly after the release of Crusader Kings 3, as of posting this episode Nick now has 101.2 played hours--luckily he only talks about it for maybe 5 minutes straight uninterrupted in this episode and learned his lesson and never talks about it again in future recordings! We also discuss Tik-Tok and other social media (Or, to those in the kno...

Episode 12: The One With No Activity

October 07, 2020 19:01 - 1 hour - 59.1 MB

We talk and talk and then we talk some more! We had a hard time coming up with an activity this week so we just had a good time catching up in the middle of a literal inferno. We tell a variety of stories of our dumb youth and then some of the stranger ways that people have tried to pick up on us. US, that's right, people somehow think Nick is attractive, too! Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez by the band Fasions. We're a proud member of the Night of the Livi...

Episode 11: TRIVIA NIGHT!

September 23, 2020 08:18 - 1 hour - 80.2 MB

We're a Talk a Trois this week as we are joined by the mysterious Disembodied Hand that occasionally joins Classi's Twitch streams! While it turns out that none of us were particularly ambitious as children, at least one of us was very imaginative. We don't talk anywhere near as much about David Paymer as we should, but we do spend quite a bit of time talking about addictive games that we've woken up for at 3:00am to do two things and go back to sleep. For this episode's activity Classi and ...

Episode 10: Hours of the Day Draft

September 09, 2020 18:15 - 50 minutes - 49.4 MB

We did it! Two weeks in a row where we came in under an hour! Speaking of hours--That's our draft this week as we pick our rosters and learn that while we always knew our schedules were different, holy smokes do we barely even overlap... We go everywhere and get into everything including how I am a cancer and/or Cancer and some weird little hamburg sandwich words to be appreciated only by the folks in the middle slice of the Fantasy novel and English major Venn diagram. ALSO, there's both way...

Episode 9: The Power of Positivity!

August 26, 2020 19:55 - 47 minutes - 45.2 MB

We finally hit our goal of being UNDER one hour! We recorded this back in July, who would possibly have thought August would be worse and we would have even MORE need for some positivity?

Episode 8: Movie Club! Palm Springs

August 12, 2020 17:08 - 1 hour - 73.8 MB

Grab the snack and/or snacc of your choice and watch Palm Springs with us, a delightful movie on Hulu. Before that, however, we really take the human body to task over how badly it's designed and how it can be improved.

Episode 7: White Claw Taste Test

July 29, 2020 17:17 - 1 hour - 73.9 MB

We're joined by our friend and fellow NOTLG host Kenneth to try out the taste of Summer--such as it is, given this is a year without seasons.

Episode 6: Truth or More Truth

July 15, 2020 17:03 - 1 hour - 66.7 MB

We have questions and we have answers and we have an awful lot of hemming and hawing as we try to answer them as non-embarrassingly as possible! That's right, it's an entire episode of just questions! Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez by the band Fasions.

Episode 5: BBQ Draft

July 01, 2020 16:45 - 1 hour - 64.3 MB

Just in time for all summer activities to be cancelled, we draft barbeque elements. Hey, remember when it was safe to be in groups? Good times. We also learn that, at any time, day or night, Classi is always armed to the teeth, so be f o r e w a r n e d ! Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez by the band Fasions.

Episode 4: Too Hot to Handle

June 18, 2020 18:37 - 1 hour - 90.1 MB

Hello again our biweekly friends! This time we talk about cussin' and swearin'! We get to make that Explicit tag WORK this week! For our activity this time we decided on a little TV Time and watched Netflix's Too Hot to Handle, a reality(?) dating(?) show that was....... Truly something else. Also we both overshare again, hooray! Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez by the band Fasions. We're a proud member of the Night of the Living Geeks network of podcasts, f...

Episode 3: Movie Club! MiB: International

June 03, 2020 18:42 - 1 hour - 65 MB

Hello again! In this, our third episode, we draft.... Nothing! Instead we have a Movie Club in which we watched Men In Black: International, a box office bomb that was supposedly better than expected. Did it live up to our exacting standards? But before that we cast a magic spell and become D&D characters in our chitty-chatty segment and learn just a tiny bit too much about both of us. Our art is by @ManOverMars and our intro and outro music is Dansez by the band Fasions. We're a proud membe...

Talk à Deux - Episode 2: Crayons with John!

May 20, 2020 09:23 - 1 hour - 85.1 MB

Nick and Classi are joined by NOTLG's Podfather John to talk about a variety of topics from video games to YaketyCast to video games to dogs to video games and more video games! There's an unusual amount of hate directed at hats in our chat topic, followed by a cut-throat draft of the crayons in a standard crayon box. You can follow us on Twitter: @wehavesnacks @classigetssassi @jpthrice Our intro and outro music is Dansez by Faisons and our art is by @ManOverMars
