Love when you have the Answers in Progress crew on. I enjoy laughing along with their antics and thought process as we stumble to the answers!
I'm australian, i remember the old notes and the new ones coming in but I've never heard of money referred to in slang like that.
Ecco qua? like... Behold!
LLE are great, and have some really interesting facts and great banter. But that bloody overdone almost hysterical laughing at everything slightly amusing makes it almost impossible to listen to. 😬
What a great episode! Even more clever and fun than this podcast usually is. Thanks to all of you for this wonderful episode.🥰
It seems to cut off a bit early at the end and has a little bit repeated at the end of the last question
why is his voice so echoy
more Maryland!
The most recent episode of Tosh Show features an in-depth interview with a runner that had completed this odd race, including some interesting history!
The YouTuber Atomic Shrimp did a video about Chesil beach
I'm sure the LLE crew are good in their place. But here they just sound like kids out of control compared to Tom's calm voice. A d that hysterical woman's high-pitched laugh? I'm sure there is some good content here; but I just skip these episodes because they are painful to endure listening to.
Bob is one of two guests whom I'm sure is a great person, but fits this show like a cow fits a glove. Compared to Tom's calm, leveled, reasoned voice, Bob's volume and seeming need for attention just grates a little.
My perfect crossover!
not cynical enoguh... all those vids are fake
juicy metal is my favorite musical subgenre
That "fire to creative work" question was so good!!! I was genuinely blown away by the answer, and then in retrospect the process of arriving to it. big big kudos to whoever put that tigether, it's a genuine highlight of the whole show for me
nice

The episode ends abruptly mid sentence, so you don't find out why the answer is what it is. 😠
The fun fact about loud and quiet water is a pun. In German the word for "uncarbonated" water can also mean "quiet". The counterpart "loud" water is a pun.
