I agree on a "fuck it" level of securing airplanes.

I also disagree on a "fuck it" level of people groping me.

In summary, fuck it all.

We do get a nickel. Almost exactly a nickel.

Anyway, now that the joke-cat is out of the joke-bag, here's a bit of video of the very end of the episode, and post-show.

We recorded this immediately after the anniversary show, while we had everyone on hand.

Ah, but make your case!

Did you ask him if the moon was a cool guy in person?

I don't read this forum, come on.

Hm. Hmmmmm.

Yeah, recording and releasing tomorrow, I'm just lazy.

11 a.m., Strange Days and The Frighteners.

Yes, it is so decided.

Phi, you handle that.

That's interesting, it hadn't occurred to me that they'd actually record new laughter for every episode, I figured "canned" meant "already in the can," and they'd re-use fifteen or twenty laughtracks.

That said, the presentation of this show bugs me. I don't know why, but it's the same way with This American Life. I'd rather hear the natural progression of a story or an interview, and when things are edited this way it just kills me.

EDIT: Ah, according to Wiki, it seems that most shows actually do use the same tracks over and over again. That being the case, I don't understand how the people talking in the mangled interviews were able to book "three laughing gigs a week."

I share a birfday with Freddie Mercury, Chris Gore, and Liam Lynch.

You win. But I got Mercury.
