Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

On today's episode of Radiolab (which was about jury nullification and was quite fascinating, to be sure--they called the cops on one of their guests!) they mentioned that season two of "More Perfect" is coming soon. Hooray!

So has it ever been discussed how the HDTGM guys record their shows? Because if a stoner like Doug Benson can handle this shit, wtf is going on here. The latest show sounds terrible at the beginning and I honestly don't know if it's because I got used to the crap sound or if the sound improved eventually...all I know is I had to turn the show up quite a bit to listen to it while I worked out.

Wasn't that a cool episode??

I Fucking loved the michael Jackson story.
It was only a rumour for years that MJ wanted to play jar jar.

I love that it's now confirmed true but I also love Lucas' reason for saying no.



*i don't understand MJ wanting to play jar jar. He'd effectively be repeating his scarecrow role from the wiz.


Awesome episode though.

I've been listening to Convicted, which is about a guy convicted of murdering his daughter who claims to be innocent. It's not bad, but it's SO much like Serial it's kind of off-putting, this girl hosting it is trying to talk like Koenig and produce this podcast in the exact fashion she did Serial S1. Also, I seem to have way more doubt about this guys' innocence than she does, but other than those two things it's pretty good.

Riding in to work this morning, I stopped at a red light only to hear the guy in front of me listening to something on a speaker. As I got closer, I realized I recognized the voice: it was Dan Ryckert from the Giant Beastcast. So I blurted out "Hey, is that Dan?" The guy looked surprised when he turned and said, "Yes?" So we chatted for a bit until the light turned green. He said I was the first person he'd met who listens to the podcast.

Spoiler: show

And if you read that article, yes he is kind of an idiot. I'm still not sure if it's an act or not because he does act dumb but then there are moments when you realize he's pretty damn smart. Who knows. It makes for hilarious conversations on the podcast though.

Nah. The ones that I've found have all been disappointing.

Great last episode in the BEE podcast....I agree with his take on movies and series and the talk with Dana Brunetti is really amazing.

Is there a way to l speed up podcasts on soundcloud? I like speeding up youtube podcasts and Audible books up to 1.5x speed.
