Hey everybody!! Sorry we have been away for so long. We had some life stuff to take care of and Dan has a HUGE announcement coming up in the next few episodes. You&#39;ll probably be able to decipher it if you&#39;re a frequent listener... Sarah! Anyway, we are back at it and in full force. We are currently banking up episodes to be able to release them on a slow drip in case life gets us backed up again. I hope you enjoy this one on Machine Learning.. we had fun recording this one. Thanks!

We&#39;re going to start off every awful segment with a very dark joke. I hope you enjoyed the one this week! The story about the demon in Dan&#39;s closet is pretty neat.

This can be a dicey subject for some.. We find it fascinating. This episode includes everything from spirits, demons, ghosts and near death experiences. I think we have some really great takes and perspectives. One of our best episodes yet! Enjoy!

Oh boy, this puppy gets dark and personal. We just air out our family&#39;s dirty laundry like its public knowledge.. I guess it is now.. Enjoy!

Very first episode! If you can&#39;t tell by the enthusiasm, we are both very excited to launch this new series. We think it has serious potential! Our first subject is about the Uncanny Valley and how it creeps everyone out across the board. We have fun with this topic. Enjoy!
