Gentlemen, it’s Women’s History Month, so maybe take the initiative and explain what that is.

"Another Piranha In The Tank"

Lots of listener messages on our latest episode, one of which leads us to perform a deep dive on Gil Gunderson, a minor character who appears regularly as of Season 9 and whose defeated outlook on life makes Hans Moleman look like a member of Hurrah For Everything.

Maybe that toe-curlingly, vomit-inducingly embarrassing FIFA Peace Prize was a tad premature?

But in FIFA's defence, how could they possibly have known ...?

Yes, the ayatollah was living in a military compound in Norfolk.

I'm in Cologne, and I'm pretty sure I could manage 12 of them and half the tacos if I'd just run 5 miles. Sleep for a few hours, then repeat ... slowly.

love a lot of things about the Brits. Like when they say "Urm" instead of "Um", or "cuppa?" Instead of "would you like a cup of tea?" Or how they
"arrest pedophiles" regardless of social stature instead of
"making them president."
All really cute stuff.

The ScauslΓ€nder (a delightful Anglo-German wordplay on Scouse + AuslΓ€nder/foreigner) is the @liverpooluni.bsky.social's German student newspaper.

Our Honorary Consul in Liverpool Dorothea MΓΌcke-Herzberg took part in the paper's fifth anniversary celebrations – Herzlichen GlΓΌckwunsch to the team!

Be Funny Or Die by Joel Morris

Be Funny Or Die by Joel Morris

Yesterday I finished reading @gralefrit.bsky.social's Be Funny Or Die, which I've been dipping into since it came out. It's excellent, and among other things it made sense of something that's bothered me for years: why do people cut drama a lot more slack than comedy?

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good.

Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies.

So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.

Once again Michael and @ianwinick.bsky.social have crafted a terrific episode that brings back so many memories and laughs out loud that people on the train look at me like I’m a freak or something. Little do they know…
Another great episode and the Sideshow Bob inference brought back the laughs
