Where do the bids go?

As TOC season approaches, the flotsam four begin discussing how tournaments should get bids. Not much is solved, and more will come next week. Episode 40.

Let me outta here. Again.

Last week Menick and Palmer batted around thoughts on tournaments. This week in Episode 39, Cruz, Bietz and Menick continue the conversation. (If you're interested, this was my original blog post on the subject.)

Let me outta here!

Should we have award ceremonies? As Cruz and Bietz find better things to do with their time this week, Menick and Palmer, the remaining two debate cowpokes, discuss how a tournament should end, and when. Episode 38.

"See you at the wedding"

Actually, the four snowmen of the apocalypse (well, three snowmen and Bietz) talk about structural neg bias, but we end on a high note. Come to think of it, we start on a low note with new, even more annoying music (if you call that music). Take away our copy of GarageBand while you can. Episode 37.

Everyone loves Blake

Everyone who went, anyhow. The Four Horsemen of the Mumblecore discuss that, timings of LD and shenanigan management in Episode 36.

Plugging Everybody In

Spanky, Alfalfa and Spike discuss plugging in the tabroom. No one's knocked it completely yet, but inroads have been made. Episode 35.

Sexism in debate

Taking off from a recent discussion on VBD, Menick, Cruz and Palmer discuss the issue, and even suggest the beginning of a solution. Episode 34.
