the key word here is indulgent.

ditto! I loved this ep. Lot's of funny/awkward sex talk. They seemed so simpatico on the subject it seemed only natural that Pete should suggest they hook up after the podcast. They made it very funny and awfully weird!

they are wrong. It's unbearable.

I'm not even sure why he bothers with an audience. I love his long disjointed rants and find them very funny and educational but they are often interrupted with him haranguing the poor crowd.

i stopped listening for that very reason. Why can't they understand that a bunch of excited people talking over each other is unintelligible?

Re: Raj's fictional date. I think his friends realised he was bluffing but tactfully didn't pursue the lie as they figured Raj would try to rustle up a date at short notice.
 You wouldn't have let it go? I feel sorry for your friends.

that's pretty close. The British equivalent would be eating a swan, which is illegal in Britain as they're all owned by the Queen! True fact.
Occasionally a swan is killed and eaten by a foreign person and it generally provokes howls of rage from our right-wing gutter press.

how about an American president bragging about an assassination on live tv? could that ever happen?

this episode deserved a A for that song alone. Also it was 90 minutes of pure viewing pleasure. Oh and no Betty, and not much of the kids.
Yay!

Another Benson cameo! 

I liked Liz wafting herself with the pastel tie, overcome with Jack's correct usage of media as a plural noun.

I hope James Franco turns up with Kamiko. My favourite line of the series:
"Ugh, you're being such a non-pillow right now!"

we don't get churros in boring old England, are they "good eatin'" as you charming colonials say?

those bars and nightclubs you refer to are indeed the most depressing places on Earth and England is , regrettably, crammed with them.

it's not just the accent. The narrated content differs to make it less cerebral and more "hey check this out, wacky animals! Ain't that cute? them thar penguins make some good eatin'"

depending on your scruples you can download it very easily in blistering high definition from many dubious websites.

it's kinda true. read this:

on the subject of Kony backlash, check out British satirist Charlie Brooker's hatchet job:

I know. It was just getting good. Fuck.

it depends on what things you are doing. Walking, driving, tedious household chores and sex are all activities that leave a great portion of your mental faculties untapped. 
I'll admit the format takes a little while to get used to but it's incredibly rewarding once you get into it.
I was kidding about the sex thing.
