    Gabe: These guys aren't even anti-heroes, they're just jackasses.

    Tycho: They're fuckers.

    Gabe: Yeah. They're like...they're just fucking assholes.

    Tycho: Yeah. I don't even want to be involved with them, even tangentially. Like (aside to Gabe) it's like a fruit, it's like an orange...

    Gabe: Oh.
  • Tycho: They're reprehensible, they're fucking animals--
    Gabe: Does that mean they can pick things up with their tail?
    Tycho: Exactly, it means they have a tail that can grasp and grip.

    Just as we can depend upon Dave's misuse of the English language, we may also count on Tycho using it correctly, and Gabe not getting it.
  • yeah theres at least one of those moments in every PA podcast. I like it when Tycho uses a word and jsut tells Gabe um jsu tlook it up after were done I can't explain it to you!
  • Best moment:

    Tycho: Blah blah blah surreptitiously

    Gabe: Ser-serrr-serrep

    Tycho: They put it on pancakes.
  • I think the fun part is listening to Gabe go on completely nonsensical rants. Like, I Don't Want Nuts In My Candy, or People Who Back Into Parking Spaces.

    edit: I like the part where you realize that they just Googled "fist bang". I mean, though, guys...is this, like, your first time on the Internet ever? You gotta know what kind of results you're going to get if you Google something like "fist bang". Anything involving "bang", really, is probably going to require careful vetting before you click a link.
  • [quote="RobotBastard"]I think the fun part is listening to Gabe go on completely nonsensical rants. Like, I Don't Want Nuts In My Candy, or People Who Back Into Parking Spaces.

    That rant about backing into parking spaces really justifies that guy taking meds for his crazy.
  • I kind of agree with him, actually, on that particular point.

    Freakin' people who back into spaces. I can do shock combos pretty well, do you see me shoving it in your face?!?!
  • I don't get the whole 'saving time' part of his parking rant anyway, I thought the point was that it's easier to see when you're leaving, so as to avoid pedestrians and other idiot drivers.

    I do think I'm superior to people who back out, though.
  • [quote="exagenous"]That rant about backing into parking spaces really justifies that guy taking meds for his crazy.

    Are you sure it doesn't justify HOW AWESOME THAT PODCAST IS?
  • [quote="Dave"]Best moment:

    AGREE
  • that parking spaces thing was pretty funny, my roomate started yelling at me because he totally agreed with him and accused me of being someone who does shit like that. I started making the argument that it saves time AND its safer. backing out is more dangerous than backing in. Also, i am a better driver than you.
  • I'm disturbed by how much Gabe crazy I have. People backing into parking spaces are jackasses. I am comforted by seeing my neighbors watching Jeopardy. FUCK NUTS IN CANDY BARS! I'm not crazy about the butt of food, but I do tear the end off a hot dog bun if there's no hot dog reaching it.
  • The ironic part is that if you want to avoid butts, then why are you eating hot dogs, because they are basically composed of butts.
  • [quote="Dave"][quote="exagenous"]That rant about backing into parking spaces really justifies that guy taking meds for his crazy.

    Are you sure it doesn't justify HOW AWESOME THAT PODCAST IS?

    It might justify that as well, but I think him taking meds for his crazy is the main point.
  • I dated a girl who never let her bare feet touch the floor. Ever. She was a hot mess, let me tell you.

    In conclusion, I am in love with Gabe.
  • Even if Gabe doesn't recognize the word, he's at least quick to find a similar word and throw the definition at Tycho.

    Tycho: "(blah blah) I don't want people to know how often I think about word origins, and etymologies, and spurious etymologies."
    Gabe: "So... you like insects."
  • The pancakes part was the first thing I heard about it, and it got me to listen ... but, can you really call it a podcast? They talk to one another, not any sort of audience, and it's just called "Downloadable content." The title of this thread gives it MORE of a title than it has.

    Not that I mind.
  • I think the idea that they're NOT speaking to me is the best part. They're just talkin' it up.
  • [quote="MitchyD"]I think the idea that they're NOT speaking to me is the best part. They're just talkin' it up.This is also why I like listening to "Fast Karate". I don't even care if they talk about anything; it's like hearing the DJ and his sidekick on some morning radio show.
  • I certainly enjoy the whole format (lack thereof?) quite a bit as well! Though, RobotBastard ... usually the morning show radio folks ARE talking directly to the audience. :|
  • ... but, can you really call it a podcast?



    Podcast is a term someone made up for syndicated mp3 feed, I don't think it necessarily connotes a "show" that has a schedule, structure, and so forth. And even if it did, I'm not really interested in debating the true meaning of a term so retarded.

    Spurious etymologies, indeed!
  • [quote="MCBurnett"]I dated a girl who never let her bare feet touch the floor. Ever. She was a hot mess, let me tell you.

    In conclusion, I am in love with Gabe.

    Me too! Crazy neurotic rants, hating people for no reason, hating people for no reason but feeling totally justified based on irrational paranoid intuition, now there is a man after my own heart.

    For a second, I was like, whoa, you dated Katie too?
  • That last podcast was... awesome.
  • LADIES LIFT YA SHIRTS!
  • Is that what they were saying? I thought it might be "Ladies with THE SHARKS!"

    But why would that be hot?

    Maybe they like gang-bang porn or something... and they were talking about the San Jose Sharks...
  • Maybe if the ladies were riding sharks. I could be into that.
  • TRUE'D
  • How about ladies FIGHTING sharks?
  • What about Lady sharks lifting their shirts while fighting the san jose Sharks?
  • FAIL FEDDY. TOO MUCH.
  • sadface
  • LADIES LIFT YA SHARKS

  • [quote="karaokeninja"]How about ladies FIGHTING sharks?

    Only if the ladies are winning. Amputees are on the short list of fetishes I do not subscribe to.

    Submitted for your approval: Katherine, punching sharks at the Tarpon Aquarium.
  • It's about damn time someone do something to start taking our oceans' back!
  • Yes I know, and Katherine is still awesome.
  • Even though shes wearing fist chainmail and thats a nurse shark, still way closer than I ahve even been to any shark.
  • Nurse sharks have a deceptively docile reputation. I think they're actually the number one shark bite related injury here in Florida, although that's mostly because people mess with them because they don't think they're dangerous. I remember one case of a teenage boy getting bit in the chest after he was grabbing onto a nurse shark's tale; they had to lop the shark's head off, and even then it wouldn't let go. He was carted off to the hospital for surgery with a shark head attached to his chest.

    Katherine used to tell me how the jacks in the aquarium were capable of biting through the chainmail. I'm actually glad she's in law school now, where the only sharks are metaphorical, and that she still has all her fingers.

    It's a pity we don't have a photo of her being dragged around the tank by the Goliath grouper. I heard that really freaked out the audience.
  • Nice! Yeah like I implied sharks scare the shit out of me, I remember seeing a black tipped reef shark, and it looked small, in Hawaii and being semi terrified and swimming back to shore. :(
  • Being a lawyer is cool too. That means you hold the lives of others in your hands.
  • [quote="karaokeninja"]Being a lawyer is cool too. That means you hold the lives of others in your hands.

    Katherine is a woman, that's not a new thing for them.
  • It's about GTA4
  • You and your thread-title-changing! I saw this thread and thought "the podcast just came out TODAY. There's no way the thread is on page 3 already."

    Anyway, I haven't listened to it yet, so I have nothing constructive to offer.
  • I have to admit that I'm amused by the severed half-head on the truck's hood. The guy just looks so surprised...like he's still not entirely understanding the situation here.
  • That Gabe...he has some dark dreams.
  • They translate well to comic though.
  • "Also, think about Sinistar. Just a head; REALLY bad!"

    edit: "So my son is homosexual because he wants to damage his father's penis?" :shock:
  • Tycho: I have grown, you know, less idealistic. I would still describe myself as a staunch idealist.

    Gabe: Yeah...

    Tycho: But at the time, as a young man, I was under the impression that I could change the world...and I've since discarded that ridiculous notion.
  • Finally. I was wondering when they'd do another podcast.
  • New podcasts:

    3/2/09 - The Whedonites Dilemma

    3/4/09 - The Old Ways
