Summary: It's been a while! The boys meet in a local establishment to discuss Jody's only topic idea in a long time...'scale'; How do you scale as a human? Recording in public made Jody self-conscious, but Matt still talks a bunch about the education system. Jody had to scale immediately to 2 children ...he's still struggling with that. Matt scales his knowledge to N-students-per-day Matt might be able to adjust value of N to be inspiring or depressing how depressing this number might be. Jody w...

Summary: Yes it's been a while, but NO, they have not quit trying!

It's a laid back, vacation episode this week. After a lovely call-in from LSB, esq., the boys talk work, cars, AI, and Basilisks. No, really.
Dec 23, 2014•1 hr 14 min
There's bleeps and bloops galore as Jody and Matt attempt their first ever call-in show to celebrate episode 50.
Dec 15, 2014•1 hr 21 min
After the FB/FU, Jody updates us on his car again, which, well...but we find a silver lining. Then, a topic! Communication bandwidth, density, and medium. Not to worry, Matt has it all figured out.
Nov 03, 2014•1 hr 20 min
Jody and Matt get caught up after another brief hiatus. Also, we hear from some listeners, bite some phones, and recomend some other shows.
Oct 20, 2014•1 hr 3 min
Trigger warning: The ALYT family lost another pet this week, and the show gets a bit sad around the 39 minute mark. Fair warning. In other news, we go through lots of FB/FU this week, and Matt has his mind blown- because fireworks.
Sep 24, 2014•48 min
Jody brings back a topic: Focus. Predictably, Matt is anything but focused, but has some functional components. And several stiff drinks.
Sep 09, 2014•59 min
It was a distraction-driven show as the boys try to add a video component to their Skype production process (don't worry listeners, the show is still audio-only). Jody fields questions, Matt thinks about what's good for the country.
Aug 28, 2014•59 min
This one almost didn't happen. There were technical failure-tunities, but we struggled through. Jody has impending twins, Matt has questions.
Aug 14, 2014•40 min
In a super-quick follow up to episode 42, the boys sit in a 95 degree room and try to talk about focus. Also: rental cars, iPad games, career decisions, and rubber bands.
Aug 06, 2014•54 min
So... yes, it's been a while, but the procrastination death spiral (Copyright ALYT 2014) is finally over. It's a retrospective this week, wherein we catch up with the conferences, projects, and car crashes of the previous month.
Jul 31, 2014•1 hr 6 min
It's a short show due to an impending Bonnaroo music festival, but Matt manages to maximize the time by making a big decision.
Jun 16, 2014•41 min
After discussing the listeners' responses to the Inertia topic from e39, Matt tries to recruit for a scientific study of belly-button lint (BBL). Then it's on to the topic lightning round, which Jody wins.
Jun 03, 2014•1 hr 12 min
Tough topic this week: Inertia. Why do we get stuck doing the the things we don't want to do, and not doing the things we want to do? Also: Jody has plumbing. Matt has a boat.
May 20, 2014•1 hr
It's all follow-up, both real and fake, but they boys are glad to be recording again after an eventful hiatus.
May 02, 2014•49 min
This week it's part 2 of the food show, with a few functional components, as promised! The boys try to figure out why cooking seems so hard.
Apr 04, 2014•1 hr 22 min
After a frankly conservative amount of follow-up, the boys get right to the topic: FOOD. Matt has a philosophy. Jody has a burrito.
Mar 22, 2014•48 min
We had a topic, but we knew we'd never get to it. This week it's all feedback (thanks listeners!), follow-up, and FFU, wherein Matt reveals his new 10 year plan for Adventure, and Jody gets hit on the head.
