  1. I just wanted to say how thankful I am that you all put these shows out each week. It's my favorite show pretty much (even including TV and radio). You guys bring much joy and laughter to my boring workdays and introduce me to dope tunes (like Cruise). Can't wait to pick up Tears on My Shaft when it drops.

  2. I suppose I should have specified that I was talking about whether a black person should use the n word, but I thought that was sort of implied given the topic. Sorry for that. It would be appropriate to tell a straight person of whatever race not to say that, but my point was that I wouldn't tell a black person they can't say the n word or a gay person they can't say fag.

  3. "Maybe some Kulaps bouncing around..." :lol:

    That song was awesome, for reals. Is that trap music? I'm still figuring out what dubstep is. Pretty much all dance music sounds the same to me, not in a bad way, just that I don't understand the nuances. Like back in the late 1990s, when the thing was jungle music but also drum & bass. But they sounded exactly the same to me, even though there would have separate nights at the clubs.

    Yeah, it's trap. I get confused cause there's regular southern rap/trap and then there's the more electronic/dj trap? I think this is the latter kind.


  4. This was really interesting. I'm not a gamer in the slightest, but the Xbox one backlash was everywhere for awhile. The kinect camera being able to spy on you definitely creeped me out and sounded "Orwellian". The NSA stuff is shocking to me as well, but maybe not as much as It would be to the previous generation since things have been gradually moving in that direction. Ive realized that anything I say online, texting, or on the phone could be monitored from a somewhat young age, so it is a little normalized. I can't speak for the rest of my age group but I kind of have the complacent attitude of, "so, what can you do?" Instagram seems to hit the biggest nerve with me because people will just take pictures sneakily of whoever or whatever and post it publicly without consent. This all makes the future seem scary but I don't see what control I have over any of it, so I just seem to reluctantly accept that this is the way it is.


  5. In addition to everything you guys are saying about the racial overtones in Miley's performance, am I correct in that I swear at one point she grabbed the face of one of the woman wearing the big teddy bears and sang right into it for a beat during a part of the chorus or something? I saw that and was like, "WTF is even happening here? I'm not cool with any of this."

    Even worse, she grabbed one of the girls' booties and motorboated it with her tongue out, and then smacked it in a degrading manner.


  6. Good points made. I'm 21 and trying to get into old comedy greats can be offputting at times because I don't always understand the references or the context of it. Wayne's World is a movie that I've seen probably 100 times as a kid on VHS and it was something that made total sense to me. When my mom first tried to show me old SNL, Blues Brothers, or Monty Python I didn't get it at all. We would watch John Belushi movies and she'd laugh so hard at anything he did. I didn't see what was so funny but she said with him it's all little movements in his face or an awkward way he was walking, kind of like a subtle physical comedy. I paid more attention after that and it makes sense to me now.


  7. Everyone should definitely be checking out Go Bayside. April is awesome and it's fun because it's like HDTGM but you can watch Saved By The Bell on Netflix and the episodes are short. The plot lines are always ludicrous so it's easy to rip apart but April has a genuine love for the show. And I've heard it mentioned on GB more than once that that Mr. Belding is seen about town being a drunk or a douchebag (or something along those lines). I don't know what's up with him.
