We discuss a different nerdy topic every week, while drinking delicious cocktails. Hopefully make some jokes.
Charlotte drops by to talk about The Oscars and drink a French 75 with us. We review the movies up for best picture and also talk about Michael's Oscar Pool.
Michael makes Hampton a "Ruby Rocket" and then talk a bit about rockets, and a whole lot about the mid-90's TV show, The X-Files.
Hampton and Michael are joined by Orion Montoya. We drink a Last Word and talk about dictionaries, words, and finally learn how to pronounce lexicography.

Improving Multi-Modal Representations Using Image Dispersion: Why Less is Sometimes More
Due to popular demand, we do a second episode about Travel. Hampton and Michael talk about Gibraltar, gravlax, smokey cocktail bars in Austria, the Berlin wall, and Hampton explains the war of 1812.
In the first episode, Hampton and Michael drink an Old Fashioned while talking about their time traveling. We cover Paris, EasyJet, the Czech language, and we finally settle London vs New York.
