The comments are priceless! I think these are funnier because unlike the ice cubes, these weren’t jokes, they are actual recipes by actual celebrity chefs!
I think the clean beaver marketing meeting may have gone a little bit like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwhlqRJ8LVA
On the depression thing: I was listening to this on the way home last night after some stuff went down at work that I was feeling really helpless and “stuck” about. I had an evening of crying and feeling sad and helpless and hopeless about it. But do you find when you have these waves of depression you’re able to say “I know this will hurt less tomorrow” and “This won’t be like this forever”? I found myself saying that out loud when I was explaining the issue to Marc, I was kind of healing myself by saying “it hurts a LOT right now and it’s scary but this feeling will go away.” I didn’t realize what I was doing at the time (it just felt true), but this morning I was really proud of myself for being able to have that focus even when I felt like things were kind of falling apart. I don’t always have it but I feel good about myself when I’m able to get to that place in the middle of a particularly drown-y, sorrowful moment.
Word. It just helps to talk about it!
TOTALLY
I just wanted to say I felt unclean as soon as “Young Girl” by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap came on. Such a creep!
Anyway, I love the show. You two are hilarious!
That was Simone’s idea and I died laughing when it came on, that is the creepiest song in the free world!
Hello ladies,
Forgive the tardy (note I am not using the offensive “r*tardy”) reply to your usually delightful podcast. Frankly, I was still reeling from the shameful display of ignorance I heard from both of you in Episode #80. I am referring, of course, to your sexist and judgmental assumptions you made about the size of the male appendage in comparison with the iPhone(TM). Your spurrious laughter at the mere thought that any man’s dick could possibly be smaller than an iPhone(TM) filled me with a shame that I could only describe as “throbbing.” Yes, I was THAT ANGRY. Do you not understand that there are men out there–proud, manly men–who, through no fault of their own, do not possess the length or width or girth to fill the screen of a deceptively small smart phone screen? SUCH IGNORANCE. And then, Ms. Drury, you had to bring CHILDREN into the discussion, describing with hateful, mocking laughter that “even a 10-year old” has a penis as big as an iPhone(TM). Well. Suffice it to say I COULD OF DIED. In fact, my heart LITERALLY stopped for a few moments from the pure shock and outrage. IRREGARDLESS of your otherwise fine programming, I will be unsubscribing from this site, blocking you both on twitter and facebook, and telling my fellow “nubbies” that you are both full of ignorance and bile. Now excuse me as I go check my ice trays…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
