You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!
Great exchange at the beginning of the WO. You can just tell that Dave is going to be telling people Bryan's kid is named after Puff the Magic Dragon for years to come now.

i have a better idea for you wrt this and every slapfight on facebook
I realize "don't argue on Facebook" is a great way to keep yourself more mentally healthy, but people posting bigoted bullshit absolutely need to be challenged at every turn, because other people are watching, and they need to know this stuff will be fought.

And that's how they win. By not really believing in anything and just posting bullshit and never learning anything, they exhaust the reasonable out of arguing with them, and then they're free to be bigoted shits.

Fight on Facebook. Fight on Twitter. Fight on SA. Fight everywhere. Right is right no matter where you are.

It seems like they have a really lovely way of screening/queueing calls. I get Bryan’s schtick of calling everyone and everything an idiot but if it keeps confusing people maybe the problem isn’t with them.

They don't screen anything which is why they get such lovely calls.

Bryan disingenuously misinterpreting what a nervous/trying to be funny caller said was like half the fun of that show though. I guess now I can look forward to him disingenuously misinterpreting texts.

I'm not proud to admit I listened to Jim Rome a lot as a teenager, but I do have fond memories of some his callers, like the guy with the amputee fetish and the call about Larry Brown's crank.

Same. I listened to a call where the guy they switched to was on hold in the middle of a sales call so we got to hear him slang meat (or something). It was pretty great. I still remember where I was when I heard that call.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Is it this week?

I'm listening to Monday's WOL show for the caller thing and yikes I can see why Bryan decided to not take calls anymore. (One just dumb take and another caller who wasn't ready when Bryan put him on the air.)

He's talking about how good the Bret documentary is, then just drops in something like "even University Of Toronto professor Jordan Peterson says it's the best documentary about anything ever", apropos of nothing.
