As someone who lived in Chicago, if Chris hasn’t already read this, this is the answer.

I normally listen to your podcasts on my commute, but I am very glad that I listened to it while I was working around my apartment this afternoon so that people didn’t look at me strangely when I was laughing about Chachi and Moby. Great episode!!

Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

He still wouldn’t answer the phone.

What will you use to shovel to giraffe food?

Thank you Senator!!

“Be the hairball”

The only place I have seen something like this is at Wrigley Field. If the ball disappears in the ivy, you don’t go after it. If you try and retrieve it, it’s a live ball.

I encourage my fellow Canadians to support Gander. Americans, stay tuned. cdn.cyberimpact.com/clients/5665...

The reported total I have seen from Saturday’s protests is over 7 million, or around 2.1% of the US population.

Thanks Patrick!

Happy Thanksgiving to my neighbours on both sides of the border.

Maybe she read a push notification?

I stood in the back every show just before intermission to hear the first notes of Pet Sounds during the run of Rock ‘n’ Roll for just this reason.

I think about Mitch Hedberg saying this anytime I see an out of order escalator.

Hi American Parents,

As a Dad, don’t take advice from semi-sentient greasy dish cloths.
Ask your doctor.

I guess it’s true. Mom (and LBJ) liked you best.

This isn’t my area of expertise, and I haven’t read much about the changes. However, I believe it was just the H-1B that is being changed. After a quick search it looks like most artists can use P-1 or an O-1 if they have an extraordinary ability.

I guess I was working more evenings then and saw you less. Great story though!

How did I not know this?

I believe in New Orleans it is common to have King Cake from Epiphany to Mardi Gras. Which is why there are the green and purple sprinkles on the cake.

This is awful.

The 🍁on US brands has been a practice for quite a while. I moved here almost 4 years ago. Many of the 🇨🇦and buy Canadian at stores came on quickly this year.
A quick search shows that Keurig Dr Pepper also owns Canada Dry which is everywhere. So this makes it even more of a mystery.

I don’t drink soda very often, but my wife had a Dr. Pepper at the Vancouver Canadians game a couple of weeks ago. I know some places have stopped selling US products, but I haven’t heard about a soda boycott. 🤷‍♂️

Hello, would you like to change religions? I have a free book written by Jesus.

Thank you for this. I was trying to figure out where all of this was coming from.
