Episode 3 — Turbo Marco

[Episode 3 — Turbo Marco]

Awesome! I really dug his and Kimya Dawson's stuff back in the day... I still have a mix tape in my parent's car that has 'Baby's Gonna Die Tonight' on it that I have to listen to every time I go back home to visit.

 

Also... Thanks, pterodactylcackle... had no idea Adam was on Cash Cab!

[Episode 68 — Feminism]

I don't know if David believes those things, but plenty of people do. The devils advocate excuse just makes my blood boil. I'm really glad that David's comments made people uncomfortable, it may help me sleep a little better.

 

Eh, I disagree. Playing devil's advocate can be a very good and helpful thing. It allows for view points to be made and addressed (discussed WHY they're bad ideas or assumptions). Additionally, it can spawn ideas and questions regarding angles that have not been previously considered - often times just making the preferred opinion even stronger.

 

There's really nothing wrong with addressing an issue or idea from all angles - even if some of those angles or horribly hateful or naive.

 

Though, granted... Sometimes people are just being dicks - or they ARE masking their own opinions - but I feel this isn't the aim for many people that play devil's advocate. Personally, I usually play devil's advocate briefly just to gauge how thoughtful the person was with their expressed opinion... Or how consistent/inconsistent their beliefs or opinions are.

 

Maybe that makes me a dick... I dunno.

[Episode 89 — Grown-Up Laughs]

Wow! I had no idea Chelsea had anything to do with www.blackpeopleloveus.com until I just did some Googling... Even with her picture being in the testimonials that I've looked at a number of times in the past decade, I hadn't realized. That site is hilarious... As is she.

[Episode 168 — Breaking Bread]

I love Besser but this character is sort of in poor taste, I stopped listening to it after the 609698378th molestation joke. This one just wasn't for me.

 

Molested, huh? I'm sorry to hear it.

[Episode 164 — Clifton Was Here]

The link isn't working for me. :-(

 

Yeah... I realized a day or two later that the link stopped working. Sadly, much deeper digging or torrenting seems to be required to view it. I'm bummed... Any Clifton fan would have LOVED it.

[Episode 58 — Legends]

Blast! Apparently I missed David in Portland... considering it's the 26th now...

[Episode 164 — Clifton Was Here]

I think the best Tony Clifton thing (for me) was the little known 'People's Court'-esque show he did called 'Stormy Justice with Tony Clifton'. - I bought it on ebay from a seller who claimed to be Zmuda's ex.

 

I finally found it online - Worth a watch for any Clifton fan.

[Episode 49 — Perception Pt. 1]

Strong episode despite the lack of Tig.

 

I definitely loved listening to Aaron discuss certain aspects of Mormonism - having grown up in a very Mormon environment myself.

 

Give Tig my love.

 

PS: Despite it only happening a few episodes ago, Kyle's call to Mother HAS to be in the clip show.
