Conversation #5

In an especially long conversation, Jake and I discuss listener feedback, playboy magazine, muriel hemingway, transformers, gobots, my little pony, tyrese, john singleton, holes, GI joe, die hard, moonlighting, sam malone, jake literally defends horseshit, Yahoo! Go, iphone, frick mansion, baxter building, four freedoms plaza, graymalkin lane, rochester's subway, teens drinking, gin and milk, tampico citrus punch, sicko, advice for michael moore, blood diamond, diamonds are forever, hydra, the system, san francisco, florida's literacy rate, mexican food in NYC, frederick olmsted, the old men from the muppets, jason mann, erotic thriller titles, it's it, sunrises, an angry gorilla, berlin zoo, knut, cheetah mating habits, fish in the amazon, teddy roosevelt, piranhas, penis mutilation, influence 13, miguel cervantes, crocodile dundee, pit bulls, dalmatians, thor, volstagg, mjolnir, walt simonson, atheism, david copperfield, superman, bizarro, zibarro, bizarro ryan, dwayne "the rock" johnson, conan, superbad preview, chris penn, andy samberg and the mysterious preview.

We really don't want the conversation to be this long, and would like to know what interested you and what bored you. Please comment and tell us the three segments you found most boring so that we have some idea what we should cut out next time.



Since it was longer than usual we also broke it up into separate files, for those who get bored of us talking and only want a little bit at a time, but don't know how to use the pause or fast forward buttons. I didn't want to do this, cause we weren't forced to trim the fat from it as much, cause it took up more disk space and exporting time, and cause I am generally disagreeable.

Jake did want to do this, because it meant we weren't forced to shorten it by editing and because he's borderline-OCD when it comes to organizing things. Both Phil and Jake agree that it's probably best to listen to it all at once. In any case, various people requested it so let's see if you like it.

part 1 (introduction, The Transformers)
part 2 (Live Free or Die Hard, Micheal Moore's Sicko)
part 3 (NYC & SF, various unsettling things)
part 4 (comic books, movie previews)

Dang, I can't believe I powered through the entire episode in one sitting. Work is really slow today. You dudes rule. Thanks for doing this. 1:45 is waaaaay too long for 99% of a listening audience, and it could have been cut down, but eff it. I feel like I climbed Mount Everest.

I just listened to the whole thing while catching up on emails. My mind is far too stimulated to go to sleep now. I am now faced with many thought provoking questions now, like "Why DID I love My Little Pony?!"

I am listening right now and I'd like to refer Phil to an email I wrote him on the 3rd, copy and pasted below:

Jul 3 (7 days ago)
"...Well, I just wanted to be a guest panelist on the show, not necessarily in a challenge scenario, since I am a veryserious groupie and all, but I don't want to scare either of the hosts with my unassailable knowledge of TR! Yes, let's discuss this on Coney Island for suresies!"

I also have other emails which prove the "off" part of the TR discussion (i.e., the competition) was about 500% Phil Green's idea.

A few years back I put a collection of nudi mags out in the woods to keep the tradition alive. However, I left a bunch of Barely Legals in a bowling bag.
