Elliot and Diane Rehm are the only two voices that will make me instinctively mute my radio. The worst.

I think you might be tone-deaf or voice-blind or something.

I like Flop House and think Elliot's voice is perfectly normal but lol @ trying to act like it's not something that can bother people when he himself has tons of jokes about his weird cartoon man voice.

Hold that pose.
I've gotta get something.
The first time I heard an ad for The Flophouse, I genuinely thought it was one guy doing three voices. Two silly voices, and then his regular voice in the middle.

There were also people in this thread that had a hard time distinguishing Justin from Travis for awhile, so there is some precedent for voice blindness here.

I can distinguish Justin from Travis but whenever Travis talks I'm never quite sure if it's him or Justin

It took me a really long time to distinguish the brothers voices, but I'm also very dumb with that stuff.

The Smirls, however, have very distinct voices.

I love to argue by using all caps. I feel it helps keep people from noticing that I have little or nothing to add to any given conversation. I also
The Flophouse is poo poo and Elliott is annoying as gently caress. Just hearing his annoying grating voice on a Max Fun ad makes me want to stab him.

I got used to the McElroy voices, so I could probably enjoy the flophouse too. I don't listen to podcasts unless I'm driving or flying and don't spend too much time on movies, so I don't have much incentive to listen to them. I liked most of their TAZ takeover besides the sex bit though.

I think it's more the nasality than the pitch. And the way he uses cadence, sometimes.

Griffin tweeted something earlier about not being able to look at Thomas quite the same way ever again, which makes me think you're not alone.

I have this weird thing where I reflexively associate colors and objects to sounds. Voices are no different. Considering the huge amount of time I spend on the phone for work, it comes in handy.

Even though no one asked:
Justin is a plum.
Travis is hay.
Griffin is a pear jelly bean.

Oh poo poo those are all food, in a sense.

Til Death Do Us Blart continues to be a source of great warmth is this cold, cold season. It probably isn't the sort of podcast I'd like to hear once a week or even once a month what with it being unedited and all, but yearly it's a treat. The best part of this year's was probably the part where they had the collective realization that they forgot about the DeathBlart email address on approximately November 27, 2015 and have to hack their way back into it.

It's a curse, I tell you. A CURSE.
It's actually completely benign. Sometimes I get confused and say stuff like, "I'm looking for a car that is like marbles" but that's rare.

Hell yeah it does. I talked about Calypso music today and said it was "fizzy gold music". My coworker agreed but maybe he was placating the crazy guy in the office.

I listened to both Death Blart episodes this week and I was compelled to check out the two scenes unanimously agreed upon to be the only actual funny ones in the movie:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGm-DTbctSM
bird fight with the pro-life pianist

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txSg0WZRS3E
banana

I don't think the scenes in and of themselves are that funny, but recalling the guys discuss them while I was watching made me laugh really hard? Til Death Do Us Blart is truly the lotus flower floating above the lovely waters of PBMC2

There's a phenomenon I've noticed when watching terrible movies... any part that isn't offensively bad gets elevated in your mind to being a lot better than it was, haha.
