EPISODE 112 — Agata, Gabe, July, Our Close Employees

[greggy 15909]

hey guys earwolf put a new episode of earwolf presents up this week where Negin Farsad, Lizz Winstead & John Fugelsang talked about america's gun control problem called The AK-47 Percent and it was a SOLID 8 on the patented PAW 1-10 scale. however at 14 entire minutes, it was just WAY too long. like, gun control is a tough issue, i get it, and you guys are very knowledgeable and everything, but i dont have that kind of time to devote to this. so i did the world a favor and edited it down to a breezy 5 minutes. please enjoy The AK47 PeRemix

 

(to be clear i do feel amercia's gun culture is truly fucked but 3 people agreeing around a table for less than 15 minutes about it is not very compelling)

Highly recommend greggy cut, he removes most of the bs and really get to the issues at large.

Whenever I want to dip a toe into the gun control debate, I like to head on over to Facebook. Then I like to pour different household chemicals into my eyes and ears.

Hey guys,

 

Don't have anything interesting to post about HH or anything. But I need some catharsis.

 

I'm sure you don't give two hoots but I can honestly say my call with Tom has left me crippled. I have been obsessing over what I did wrong. "Why do I sound like a 16 year old girl?" I ask myself. "Why do I sound like someone who just had his wisdom teeth removed??"

 

I made the mistake of googling various combinations of my 'name', 'Scharpling' and 'Rush' and found that Andy Kindler thinks I "owe the universe an apology". Some other guy said I seemed like a Wurster character. And another dude picked up on my totally cringe-worthy "I feel like I know you". I haven't slept well in a few days. When I try to sleep, all I can do is fantasize about how I'm going to apologize.

 

(I wrote out a huge thing explaining my thoughts and my worries but it's ridiculous to post it here).

 

The lesson I learned and want to pass on: NEVER phone in to ANY call in show if you are socially anxious.

If it makes you feel any better at all, I once had aspirations of becoming a singer. Then I heard myself alongside Jerry Minor and Horatio Sanz on Hooray Show. I have the worst voice ever. It worked for comedic purposes, I guess, but still.

#spoonnation is strong, but am I the only one on Team Wiges? #BurgerBourgeoisie

I've been trying to get #BurgerBureau over for about a month now. Like, it's an FBI-style organization, but dealing exclusively with burger-related incidents.

Do it for Gilmartin

[Andy Dick Cheney 3779]

 

Unfortunately I had to do this owing to the poor quality of this week's guest.

 

Hopefully tomorrow makes me change my mind.

[JacobCrites 4977]

how did "best demystification of hollywood" or whatever not go to HH?

[SteveH 11126]

Glad the AV Club has their priorities straight. Looks like they spent a lot more time on their podcast awards than they did putting together their albums of the year. Music is so over.

I've always said songs are just little podcasts with guitars

[AlbinLundholm 4020]

I've always said songs are just little podcasts with guitars

I've always said podcasts are just big songs without guitars, what a weird coincidence lol

[SteveH 11126]

I've always said coincidences are like buttholes. Sometimes they happen and it's a surprise

[devscoots 2561]

I've always said that a balanced diet is the secret Doctors have been trying to hide from us all.

[devscoots 2561]

I wanted mine to be at the top of the page

 

 

 

(That's a metaphor for how I'm feeling right now.)
