nnnn nniceee ss sss sshow ( nn n nn nnottt t)
still teeth sucking .... is there not an editor?? nasty. how much stuff do you have stuck in your teeth?
I saw it coming from a mile away. Charlie got the same treatment, lol
The editing of the most recent episodes has really declined.
Hooray for Carolyn Jones, bleaugh for the fact she's only in it for 20 minutes or so.
super funny when Joe makes a Newhart joke about Larry and my brother Darryl and his other brother Darryl and Rob didn't get it, lol. love the podcasts.
I've just recently heard about Horror Vacui and tonight accidentally your podcast and this episode came to my sight and I'm getting Obsessed with the subject!
Stop smacking your lips like Sally from the Valley.
geeze I love when they read me hymns and describe to me paintings.
gotta admit .... sure doesn't seem like research was done. for example... whether you believe ghost hunters or not, just to say something like .... I don't know if there are any ghost hunters that try to look at what could really cause a situation .... is pretty telling you didn't do any homework. there are multiples "out there" (legit or not, and some better sounding than others). disappointing to know of missed opportunities for a more accurate and complete podcast.
