The Test 115: Good Fences Make Good Podcasts

26 minutes | Aug 29, 2018
The Test 114: You Need This For That
This week, Cunningham forces Dave and Stacey to ponder how this leads to that . . . how some things (and people) are instrumental to other things. Like eggs are instrumental to baking a cake . . . or maybe not. Bonus: Stacey makes a pun!

29 minutes | Jun 24, 2018
The Test 110: Abracadabra (This Test Will Reach Out and Grab Ya)
Dave tosses his artistic sensibilities and gives the ladies a test on the lowest, the cheesiest, the most absurd form of entertainment: magic. Do you believe in magic? Apparently, Cunningham does (and no amount of "bonus lectures" are going to diminish her naive sense of childhood wonder. Stacey is also a fan of the the magical arts, and loves the fact that "people can learn to do tricks." Listen to this episode . . . before it disappears.

The Test 109: Girls, They Want to Have Guns . . .

This week, listen to Dave barrage Cunningham and Stacey with a battery of incendiary questions and assault them with a slew of psychotic statistics . . . and listen to the little ladies as they stand their ground and fight back. An inspirational and topical tour de force that will leave you reaching for your sidearm.

The Test 108: Game of Names
Stacey gives some crystal clear instructions on how to play her name-game mash-up, but at first Cunningham and Dave don't follow. Then, ever so slowly, they figure things out. Ultimately, there is a brilliant reversal and Dave hijacks the test. Odd puppet!

The Test 106: The Nine Billion Names of Todd
In honor of the Super Bowl, this week's episode is a high-scoring extravaganza. It's also ambiguous, informative and ambitious. As a bonus, Dave soothes his menstrual cramps with naproxen, Stacey tosses around some anatomical terms, and Cunningham expresses her love of a certain ethnic dessert food. Tune in, take a shot, and see if you can outscore the ladies. 
21 minutes | Jan 28, 2018
The Test 105: Stacey's Songs #5
This week on The Test, another one of Stacey's inscrutable (for Cunningham and Dave) song quizzes. Listen to the seven audio clips, identify the artists, contemplate the lyrics, and then make some haphazard and illogical guesses about the overarching theme. Once you hear the answer, you'll kick yourself, as it all makes perfect sense . . . hindsight is 20/20. Or is it hindsound? Stacey's not the only one on the show who can make a terrible pun.
19 minutes | Jan 21, 2018
The Test 104: Vitamin D+

The Test 101: YouTube, Me Tube, We All Tube
Join the gang on this inspirationally aspirational (aspirationally inspirational?) journey into the wild world of YouTube. Cunningham is your guide, and be forewarned: she's something of a proselytizing fanatic. Dave and Stacey not only drink the Kool-Aid, they fill an Olympic-sized pool with it and jump in. Whether your skin is oily or dry, we guarantee you'll learn something (and possibly contemplate a new career).  
37 minutes | Oct 23, 2017
The Test 100: The Exciting Super Test
In celebration of the gang's 100th episode, Stacey administers a very exciting super test. As usual, Dave is very proud of himself (he scores a solid 3 out of 7) and Cunningham refuses to get closer to the microphone (because that means she'll have to get closer to Dave). Check it out, keep score, and if you don't learn something, you can punch one of us in the arm (moderately hard).

The Test 99: Super Numbers (and their Origin Stories)
This week, Dave gives the ladies a numbers quiz with minimal math, although Stacey and Cunningham still manage to pull him into a numerical abyss.

34 minutes | Aug 27, 2017
The Test 97: Different Croaks
This week on The Test, Dave presents things that are similar and challenges the ladies to find the differences. Their answers run the gamut as far as accuracy is concerned, but both Stacey and Cunningham proudly "contribute a lot" to the discussion. Play along at home, see how much you can contribute to the discussion, and be prepared for some inclement weather. 
37 minutes | Aug 18, 2017
The Test 96: Mount Whatmore?
Everyone agrees that Mount Rushmore is pretty lame, so Stacey forces the gang to do seven different makeovers. If you play along at home, make sure to bring your dynamite and chisel, because whatever you decide will be set in stone. We also learn that Cunningham is a twofer and that Dave has significant aesthetic concerns about smooth foreheads.
