    I would love it if they could find a way to spend more time with the guest. Would it be too awkward to have the guest sit in on the first two charts and comment? It wouldn't be too different from the old format when Who Charted prime would sometimes detour into a Howard or Kulap story. Just seems like the guest portion got short-changed with the new format.

    Usually, the label does supply an "adult contemporary" version.

     

    "See You Again" was a combination of the singer guy demoing a "just me" version with sung verses, and a radio DJ editing together that with the real version for his own "none of the rap" edit for his station. And then he passed around to other stations enough that it hit the charts.

    Well, she may have discussed such things, but talk's cheap, y'know?

    I don't think many, if even any, folks actually adopt transracially for those flippant reasons.

     

    I agree with you based on the quote you quoted, but when I scrolled up and read the SECOND half of that paragraph, well, the sister sounds like a trashbag with some troubling thoughts on race.

    When we filled out the paperwork to foster a child, we learned you don't get to just ignore the question which is basically "do you have a preference about race?" --along with the preferred age, level of ability, gender, etc., of course.

     

    Yep! Human Services NEEDS everyone to think really long and hard about this, because most people who want to foster have that "we'll love any child who comes into our home!" attitude, and they need to splash a little "let's think about how the real world works" cold water on that.

    Yeah, this episode made me feel pretty icky. They're pretty flippant about how adoption works. It's one thing that they don't know how it works; it's another to laugh off all of the tricky issues involved.

     

    Andrew, if you're going to tell callers to keep it short, don't act like they're a smug asshole for trying to sum up a complex issue for the sake of the voicemail's brevity.

    The first two minutes of this episode could serve as the prototype for why this shouldn't be a podcast, or especially clear evidence of how little Andrew Ti has to say. The rest of this episode is support for the same idea.

     

    Solid arguments, dude! I'm sure Earwolf will take note of your indisputable evidence and swiftly cancel the show.

    Nicely done!

     

    I was a little leery of them bringing in a first-timer for the "last laugh," especially someone who isn't known for doing podcasts, but this was a perfect way to go out - just a regular episode, lots of great tangents, great Lame or Totally, and one last person being confused by The Oprah Game.
