A few tasty chestnuts for a warm November—plus some exciting news! In Episode #87, Ted and Lisa consider a little bit of this and a little bit of that. They start in the not-knowing between Election Day and when results got announced (1:45) before getting to Lisa’s big news (10:11). They discuss the dynamics of being on the brink of big changes and seeing new roads ahead (14:32) and consider a batch of new names (21:28). The pair considers how to make sense of changes coming from inside (23:14) and an invitation from Lisa gets the pair considering different approaches to new ideas (27:25). Ted shares some issues he’s been having with his memory (33:23) and how questioning the righteousness of “proper language” leads to questions of identity (39:18). The pair reiterate the importance of improvisation as a tool for when we don’t know what comes next (44:17) and close out with a traditional Outro summary (50:26).
