I'm not changing my name because people already know to hate the name I already have and it would be a lot of work to rebuild that kind of brand presence.

I didn't know Skizelo was in the band Oasis... Everyone from Manchester is in the band Oasis, right? That's my understanding of how that works.

PS - I knew I liked Andy. But I didn't know how much until this hangout. Andy Kneis, you are my hero. I salute you, sir.

Mean Detective is a chill bro. Just saying. Everyone should love him.

Also shout out to the Church of England and Anglicans.

I'm glad someone else posted the Aimee Mann Portlandia cleaning lady thing so that I didn't have to. It was bugging me.

PS - Fuck whoever says the intro non-guest part is alienating. It is but it's also the best and Earwolf should back the fuck off unless their opinions are the same as mine. In which case I invite them to be more vocal about them. Like making the episode longer. I can get on board with that. #TakingAStand

Political.

Casey Anthony. Ray Rice as Chief Make a Big Mistake. Sex workers in Vietnam after the war. Ferguson. Ryan Lewis. Mancession? Kony 2012. Good work on being relatable this week. Really casting a wide net. Like fishing with dynamite. I think you guys will look back on your views on Boko Haram and wish you had included them in your fail list. #BringBackOurGirls

Sigh of relief.

PS - So we're all super worried that there won't be an episode tomorrow right? It's not just me? But we're also pretty stoked for the Google Hangout, right? Tuesday at 7:00PM Pacific Time. Who needs a podcast when you have friendship? Right? But a podcast would be nice, too.

True. I have my criticisms of the US Dollar, too. On similar grounds. Although the key difference is that the Euro is used and governed by multiple sovereign nation states with their own fiscal and monetary policy, which creates problems in periods of rapid growth or contraction. This can also be seen in the US although the federal government is much stronger and has much more power to enforce its own rules than the EU government and has a much longer history and precedent of making and enforcing such rules. Not that the EU can't work it out over time but the road will be bumpy and involve a loss of sovereignty for the member states, which is unfortunate since individual sovereignty is the primary value of being an independent nation state. Also, I'm not saying the Euro isn't pretty. It's much prettier than the US Dollar. But so is the Zimbabwean Dollar. This concludes another installment of Chanson pontificates about his opinions on monetary policy and currency unions. Edit: Sorry my picture has numbers that are unrelated the post #. I do feel ashamed of that.

Fuckin' shit. You don't check the forum for 12 hours and you come back to around 100 new posts. Jesus.

Oh, no currency unions are dumb. Straight up dumb. The reasoning behind the Euro is something like ensuring that Germany doesn't launch another war to take over Europe. Not exactly based upon sound economic principles. The architecture thing is weird but not for idiots. Edit: I should mention that this is my own personal opinion. In case that wasn't obvious.

The Euro notes are interesting because they had to come up with distinctly European architecture to put on them but at the same time they had to create buildings that didn't actually exist so that it didn't unfairly represent one country. Weird. Currency unions are the refuge of cowards. And idiots. True fact.

It still equates to naughty dirty sex talk and I want nothing to do with it. I also have complaints about Ottawa's Redblacks. What the fuck is that? The Hamilton Tiger-Cats... Fucking pick one and stick with that. Edmonton Eskimos??? Shouldn't it be Edmonton Inuits? And also shouldn't it be in inuktitut? But the BC Lions... You guys are doin' it right. Keep on keepin' on.

Go Thunderbirds! (While we're on the subject of the WHL) Also, did they name the Regina Rough Riders as a joke or just lack of self-awareness? It's Saskatchewan so I feel as though either could be at play. For those who don't know Regina is pronounced like "vagina" if the v were replaced with an r.

You people sicken me. (PS - Bozos, I messaged you some notes about last week's Google Hangout, so check your forum messages when you get a chance.)

You guys, I'm starting to think that Sean and Hayes are putting their own personal and professional lives ahead of us and our lives. It's really starting to piss me the fuck off.

What has this forum become?

We should have. Team Pup n'suds

Comedy is the refuge of cowards.
