Gift Horse

We begin the program with some casual opening patter. Then it's time to be briefly airdropped on the Faroe islands. Will Tracy buy some wool? Will Mike buy some wool? Did everybody buy wool? There's only one way to find out.

If you can put your foot inside it, and if it will then fit inside a shoe, that's nothing but sock, bay-bee.

This week, Mike and Tracy exchange gifts of currency, or at any rate they claim to. One alternative title for this episode is "Buff Orpington." Another is "Existential Give Up." To learn more about the frog that Tracy discusses, do a google image search for "sad avocado frog." 

Last week was our decennial cowboy special; this week Mike and Tracy celebrate their fourteenth anniversary. Traditionally, this would involve the exchange of ivory, but they almost certainly won't do that. It's time for ethical, elephantine alternatives.

Giddy up, slowpokes. It's time for the decennial Gift Horse cowboy special.

Mike and Tracy have been to Indianapolis, where Mike was raised (with Tracy in proximity). How can it be fixed? With gifts, of course. Gifts, and gibbon songs. (They did enjoy the zoo.)

Mike and Tracy compete to see who can give the best gift to Miss Piggy. But mostly they discuss their feelings about Miss Piggy. (They love her.)

It's time for Mike and Tracy to do what they do best: christen and exchange signature sandwiches.

Mike and Tracy exchange summer accessories. Who wears the heels, and who wears the poncho? Who is "Party Michael"? And how quickly can one of these dudes lose the episode? You know what to do to find out.

Lorenzo the Pirate King is here! And he wants to talk, as soon as possible, about universal remotes. Mike and Tracy are your TV guides to the magical, criminal world of infrared, RFID, and Bluetooth signals.

It's the end of the semester, so we had time to record and edit an episode, but we don't have time to write a good description. Just listen to it, okay?

What do you get for the shroom who has everything? And does "everything" include "legs"? Mike and Tracy ponder several heavy Toad questions before finally determining who will win this fungal vassal's heart.

It's all come to this: in the second year of our podcast, the third annual Swordstravaganza.

This episode could have been all about soup, but Tracy forbade it. So if you enjoy this fruit-themed episode (and we think that you will), imagine how much better it would have been if it were about soup.

Mike and Tracy plumb the depths in this bottomless Gift Horse episode. Bears! Whales! Ducks! Flintstones! Boats! Crucifers! Breadsticks! Chaps! This episode has them all. When you're here, you have no choice but to be family.

After a very scarf interlude, Mike and Tracy competitively exchange fish or fish-themed items. The possibilities are endless, but the comedic potential can be quantified; indeed, it must.

It's time for Mike and Tracy to exchange boring gifts—or rather, gifts that excite the recipient while sounding extremely boring to everyone else. Don't worry though; the episode itself is an absolute thrill ride. They even talk about gables.

This Gift Horse isn't a Gift Horse.

When it comes to rain, we basically have three choices: mitigate, measure, or celebrate. Will Mike choose correctly? Will Tracy? What's a jpeg anyway? And why would anybody do that to a horse?

After a visitation from Lorenzo the Pirate King, Mike and Tracy exchange seats. Which will win the coveted Gift Horse throne? There's only one podcast with the courage to tell you.

Mike and Tracy gift new lives to the nasty Charmin bear family. Normally they can at least halfway sublimate the hostility represented by our gifts, but this week it's just too hard; these two homies hate these bears.

Mike and Tracy risk incarceration by gifting each other illegal items.

Mike and Tracy exchange personalized items. Would a rose by any name be just as sweet? What if the rose was called Josh?

Mike and Tracy exchange talking objects, but first they have to figure out what constitutes a talking object. Take Lightning McQueen, for example. He's just a guy.

In an episode where both homies are required to spend one billion dollars, who allocates their fortune the best? Mike attempts to force the issue, while Tray makes perhaps our most questionable purchases yet. At least we've priced Statler and Waldorf.
