Hey Maddie! Love the podcast and looking forward to this weeks ep on my commute home tonight. Curious why Bobby has left the podcast? Will you be looking for a new co host a la Kelly Ripa?
Sure, It would have been better to say “nearly all” or “most”. Either way I find it odd that this extremely common feature of spoken English is mocked in low prestige dialects but apparently unnoticed in high prestige dialects.
This reminds me of something I saw this week. Friend from high school just got out of rehab (to avoid jail) and re-entered the world of fb for the first time in ages. On one of her pictures a guy (also from high school) made some comment welcoming her back and in their chatting made a comment about how he couldn’t…
Removing the Hello Kitty (twice) is transformative enough that it is not infringement.
That’s what I was thinking. Most of my 4-5 day domestic trips cost about $1k for travel and lodging and I usually end up spending another $750-1k while there, and I am most certainly working class.
I’m sure that, at some point, I’ll tire of hearing about this, but not yet. Not even close. Pass the popcorn!
You seem to have more faith in our voters than they deserve. I don’t think the people who vote straight GOP will care as long as they get to vote against “libtards”
I completely get Amy on this. I worked in the service industry and I’ve also been suuuuper poor. I’m rich now, not like Amy rich, but I can pay all my bills, go out to eat, and still put money in savings every month rich (so solidly middle class). I’m a generous tipper. I’ve been known to leave a $50 tip on a $30…
I really missed the spelling challenge this season, that was consistently one of the best hours on television.
It’s cute that you think Bananas has a job
Camilla is the perfect Challenge contestant: prone to wild shit-talking when she’s doing well, outbursts when she’s doing poorly, and loves inserting herself into any and all drama so she can mix it up with people. Long live Camilla.
Shane would be laughing his ass off if he’d gotten to stay.
I still enjoy the Challenges, but it was so cringey when the producers had to explain the “triangles within triangles” concept to Cory. When you are outfoxed by the brain trust of Camila and CT, you know you’re in trouble.
I did an escape room with a group of friends last summer - four PhD students, one medical resident, and one psychologist. All of the clues led to a math problem (a + b x c - d) that would reveal the combination to the final lock. We tried and tried, and it wouldn’t work. We absolutely had the math right, but the lock…
Wouldn’t it have been easier to skip a step and just multiply 27 by 4?
You have to admit, shit like this is why The Challenge is occasionally really fun to watch.
I know its supposed to be pronounced “fire”, but i keep reading it as “fry”. Then i get confused/hopeful that this was a french fry festival and wonder how they would fuck that up.
That is indeed the answer. I always wonder about this shit too, and I honestly think people who make less than $100k and do things like spend $5k on a weekend festival are a) not saving any of their money for anything and/or b) living on credit cards. And maybe not paying rent.
More like a douche ocean liner.
