the extended bit of them not knowing how to work a computer in the grace helbig episode is also very good, though not particularly recent

maybe it's just getting old, maybe it's because society is getting more loaded with junk data and reference culture

but all the interesting facts sean makes fun of are also things i can't stand hearing repeated every time someone thinks they have something interesting to say

oh you think the only good steak is a rare steak because of the science of food cooking??? that's really interesting i never heard that before!!!

i like this bit you're doing where you describe why something's funny while pretending not to realize it

criticizing a musical theatre anything for being a bit silly is weird, since every musical by its nature is a bit silly. if you don't like that, cool, whatever, but pretty pointless to single out shows for that reason

I know a place where I can take lessons to become a professional comedian and/or an actor. Maybe we should have a child and imbue it with our combined characteristics. Are you both sexually fertile and physically able to carry said child in your body until it's viable outside your body? It'll be a natural triple threat. Comedian(ne)/actor(ess)/Sondheim impersonator(ess).

Think about it and get back to me.

Its kinda silly that people keep insinuating that Hamilton ignores race when the entire point of the musical is realizing the common rags to riches hiphop narrative is oddly similar to this founding father from a long time ago. The entire musical is about race. Its messed up that people paint it as ignoring race because it doesn't mention slavery every other line but typically in white created art about the founding fathers those pieces have often ignore race way more.

You can dislike the musical because you don't like the songs or whatever, but its ridiculous that people are claiming this piece of art created by people of color that is all about race is not all about race. Like just dislike poo poo like normal people you goobers.

it's definitely not hosed up and weird to draw equivalencies between a white guy who moved from an apartheid state to a white supremacist one to any present-day immigrant

Yeah the Hamilton podcast is pretty bad.

All it is is people who loving love Hamilton sitting in a room and fawning all over it without a hint of irony. I get that Hamilton is popular and it's probably going to draw listeners from other markets, but why this sweaty fellatio parade?

the bit in the ad when john hodgman breathlessly recounted the time he told his family they HAD to listen to the album RIGHT NOW made me groan involuntarily

If they're doing it with a different co-host each episode, it could have potential, though really just the fact it doesn't have Faraci in it any more means it will automatically be an improvement. If they ever do it with a guest host I really liked, I'd give it a shot.
