I've been listening to the show for months, going through the archives, and plan on going to the live show in my area when the time comes, but I had to create a forum account just to express my frustration with Hot Dog. I do not understand the appeal of this character. Of the hundred-plus episodes I've listened to, the only ones I've ever had to turn off mid-way through have been the ones with him on them, and it's been EVERY episode he's been on. I just find everything about him so gratingly aggravating and boring. I am overwhelmed by anti-fun when he announces himself, and yet I'm seeing a certain amount of support for him in this forum thread. Am I alone in this?
