Did John reuse a few jokes from his Daily Show bit about Obama/drones? That really confused me because I thought for a minute that I had listened to the episode already.

Next have them listen to oen with career criminal Silvio and then any one with stupid buildings. I also find the one with maths hilarious.

I'm currently going trough the backlog before I go to sleep and I literally rolled out of my bed because I was laughing so hard when I listened to the stupid buildings episode.

I just started to go trough the backlog (starting from episode 1) and holy poo poo are the early episodes great. Also it's hilarious how prophetic they are.

I enjoyed the two fucks that Chris forgot to go back and remove in the most recent episode. Makes me wish they would run the show uncensored.

Absolutely not!

I started listening a couple of months ago and I've listened to 201 so far..

I think the best part was the email they received from the doctor who had to go to see the dead man after listening to Andy's death based football chants.

"Dear Andy, John and Chris in order who is more likely to get me struck off the medical registrar.."

gently caress you Chris!

That was great but I still like the stupid buildings bit more. That absolutely floored me.

I don't think I will ever get tired of hearing Zaltor and John make jokes about other countries. :allears:

(p.s. "Der Spiegel" is German for "The Spiegel".)

The "Die Zeit" joke was even better :allears:.

Andy apparently sat in on the last Nature podcast of the year. It's been pretty great.

(slightly paraphrased)
Andy: "You know, statistics are very much like a ventroliquist's dummy in that if you stick your hand far enough in you can make it say whatever you want."
Nature podcaster: "But...Statistics are like a religion around here."
Andy: "You mean they're mostly lies?"

Ahahaha this is great. And I think I will subscribe to the Nature podcast too!

Plus it sounded like they encoded that episode at 32kbps or less.

The whole ~45 min episode was just 11 mb for some reason. I thought it was going to be a mini episode when I saw that in my podcast app.

i was trying to think back to when I heard a weirder ad on a podcast and then I remembered years ago they were shilling historically accurate replica military helmets.

That Pepsi Next (or whatever it was called) ad a few years ago was so bad. I have no idea thought that was a good idea.
