This week the word is epistolary. First, the nerds discuss their favorite letter-related works of literature, then they talk about the fine art of including inexplicable “enclosures” when mailing a letter. Next, Andy talks about traveling again for the first time since the pandemic started, and describes his family’s recent trip to The House on the Rock. Keith talks about recent plumbing woes, and Andy talks about getting a new kitchen floor. Moving on to media, Keith talks about the first half of The Tomorrow War and Andy mentions an old movie called Idaho Transfer. They discuss 7 more Donald Barthelme short stories, including one they both really like called The Palace at 4 AM. After the spoiler curtain, they discuss the next-to-last episode of Loki.SPOILER WARNING: contains spoilers.

Episode 268: Yoo-Hoo, Andy Looney!

This week the word is 23. Keith explains why 23 is his favorite number, and the nerds reminisce about what they were each doing when they were 23 years old. Andy tells the story of how he got hired at NASA, and what it was like working for the Hubble Space Telescope. Then Andy spends a lot of time talking about Battlefield Earth, after which he mentions a few things that will be changing in the next printing of Math Fluxx. Then they each give their latest reports from the Quarantine Zone. They talk a little about the upcoming Dune movie, and talk more about the National Lampoon parody thereof. Other topics they ramble about include expressions they don’t think make sense and Match Game and other game shows. At the very end they spend a few minutes discuss the next episode of Westworld.SPOILER WARNING: contains spoilers.

Episode 223: Deep Rants with Andy Looney

This is an interview I did with Andrew Looney back in October at RinCon.  Andy is the company's Chief Creative Officer and is the inventor of most of the products that they sell. Before helping Kristin start Looney Labs, Andy was a computer programmer, first spending eight years at NASA (he wrote software that flew in space on the Hubble Telescope in 1993), then spending two years working for Magnet Interactive Studios (where he created and coded a videogame called Icebreaker, published in 1995). Andy graduated from the University of Maryland in 1986, with a BS in Computer Science.http://www.looneylabs.com/ http://www.wunderland.com/WTS/Andy/GameDesign.html https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamedesigner/122/andrew-looney https://twitter.com/andrewlooney https://twitter.com/LooneyLabs https://www.facebook.com/andrew.looneyTheme music created by Brett Miller http://www.brettmillermusic.net/
