Tonight I'm feeling for the poor fellow who writes the Ira Subaru of Manchester newsletter that keeps popping into my mail.

Oh I love Emily Sprague! Her work is a godsend to podcasters, she and Chris Zabriskie are keeping my world afloat

You and me both brother. Just saying the words "budget gourmet" is enough to make me sweat under one arm and start looking for exits.

I never understood as a kid why watching the movie M*A*S*H felt like cool water on my brain. Or getting a multiball. Or sleeping in a room with 30 people talking.

Robert Altman rewards the scattered, fearful, hyperfocused mind and coyote ears. Oh how I love him. Who can listen to just one thing

I heard as a kid he'd do this vaudeville routine called The Human Mop, where his dad would attach a mop handle to his back and fling him all over the place.

Whoah whoah buddy! We're in NEW HAMPSHIRE! Take that thing out before it accidentally becomes crispy and delicious and the cheese is melted and the bottom isn't a wad of DOUGH

Oh god I went through this six years ago I have put this memory into a small wet bag in the corner.

My little guy would watch this 10+ times in a row. I couldn't believe I was seeing what I was seeing. But now I think he's grown enough to show him the photos of me as Columbia.

I always did this cruel, judgemental voice for the guy who tells Big Anthony to confess to the priest.

He's almost too disgusted to turn his head and say "SUCH a lie."

Sayles was having trouble choosing who to cast as Ring Lardner (Studs was a lock as Fullerton) and someone came in with a photo and said, "uhhhh, John? John you might wanna look at this..."

I know that it seems all I do is say this sort of thing but the story about him playing that part is hilarious and you probably know it.

I got scammed with a fake hundred at a liquor store in the West Village.

The owner watched the security tape and said, "didn't you ever watch Three Days of the Condor?? Look at a man's SHOES next time."

This isn't just a unique thing, a history podcast to accompany a game's release, it is AMAZING.

I would listen to this even if I'd never heard of the game. It's stunning.

This was good for me because I got a LOT of 1776 outta my system.

Age verification?

My sister and I shared my father's sweater to play the role of William "The Refrigerator" Perry in a talent show rendition of the Superbowl Shuffle.

I'm so glad you mentioned that one. I think it might be the best song a movie ever went out on.

The emperor of the skeksis, a cruel and vile order, is finally dying while the other skeksis crowd around to squabble and fight over his scepter. Chamberlain tries to take it but is rebuffed via trial by stone.

Man, what a movie. Don't know why I woke up thinking about this scene!

You know the one about the cop who pulls Schrodinger over and searches his car?

Cop says, "sir, do you know you have a dead cat in your trunk?" and Schrodinger says, "well I do NOW."

William Kunstler's argument is a joy to listen to.

Some days I just want some thoughtful bickering and it's not gonna happen with this court or these times is it

Decades ago, I told my gf I could speak French. She asked me to prove it, so I muttered that line. She said "did you seriously just say the fake poem from fucking GREEN CARD"
