While we all did freak out unduly, Jonathan did say he's thinking about moving to New York/Toronto. How would the show continue if this happened?

He said he was thinking about going there for a little bit before moving back to Downtown LA

I stopped listening to a few podcasts because they have to use skype now that someone has moved. Hopefully it never comes down to that.

While i'm sure as long as they still got those Lou Perlman hitmakers the audio quality wouldn't suffer much, it just wouldn't feel quite the same without them in the same room. :smith:

Jesus I just now realized those are from college students. I thought they were from elementary school children the first time I heard it. Great segment.

"It is a car of sincerity." gets me every time.

They talk about high school and having more freedom in college... elementary school ESL classes in Asia are basic stuff like colors, days of the week, "HELLO HOW ARE YOU?", etc.

I teach high school English in Japan, and the things my students say/write are a lot more innocent/naive than Western people of the same age. I have some 17-18 year old girls who unironically rock Sesame Street pencil cases, and if you give the class a word search (happened once), even the shittiest kids will work on it with absolute dedication. There's really nothing too childish for them; I'll throw the doofiest looking clipart on a worksheet and they'll all think it's cute.

My kids' English is a LOT worse than those letters, to the point where there wouldn't be much comedy value (they don't have the vocabulary to be that creative, 98% of it would be really formulaic and boring), otherwise I'd try and do the same thing. If I saw some kind of opening to include it in a lesson I still probably would try something, and e-mail the best ones to the show.

I did ask a kid if he was a pineapple today, to which he replied "A little".

Thank you so much for this. I listened to the first bit of it, and I forgot about so many great things. Like a fan uploading a fake Craigslist personal of Jonathan and then Jonathan getting stalked at Whole Foods. God, so great.

Actually I live in Aichi, 'sup Japan dude. :hfive:

The thing about those being written postcards is what surprised me when I finally realized they were college-aged. The Jr. High kids I used to teach would crank out stuff better than that on written assignments. It's probably apples/oranges, depending on motivation/history/etc.

A Florida man stabbed his computer with a Samurai sword after being accused of downloading kiddie porn. He was in his underwear when he did it.

Kamil Mezalka, 21 stabbed his hard drive with a two-handed sword after police stormed his home looking for evidence of his alleged downloading hundreds of child-pornographic files, according to an arrest affidavit.

He has both. He mentions early in the show's run that he owns both because he was having trouble with the iphone.

I was under the impression that he has an personal phone and a show phone.

I assume he couldn't afford it or didn't want to deal with the show phone anymore. The novelty has to have worn off by now anyway, so the voice mail serves the same purpose as a cell phone he doesn't answer.

I ruined my chance to ask him a question phone style. Although I don't know if he is in to just answering fans stupid questions. I am working out the music to Biss and I wanted to see if he would tell me what the lyrics are in that modulated voice section. That song loving blew my mind when I heard it, I was all like whoa.

You can still call their voicemail.

I know maybe 4 or 5 phone numbers off the top of my head and 2 of them are from the podcast. :negative:

I sent him a random dumb comment one time when they were talking about skeezy Geniuses taking bribes for fixing computers and he replied. I totally wasn't expecting that, was a nice reminder that 'oh yeah these are just some cool dudes not some corporate organ like everything else we interact with nowadays'.

Episode 151.

That story gives rise to a great Seth quote over a year later: "You're a junior Hulk, I'm a Marine, and we're training to be astronauts."

Feminism is a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.

My husband and I were listening to that and when Jah starts talking about chasing the dog on the bike, he said, "Oh I see where this is going." I was like, "No, you really don't."
