I have this feeling, though I could be wrong, the lovely Steve Guttenberg may have stopped caring about your podcast due to you flaming cowardice of Chuck The Schmucks awkward chuckle (and why women find you cute chuck, & and not handsome) and tired of your flamingly inaccurate portrayal of Socialism. chuck, you suck! haha
uh oh.... Chuck the Schmuck gonna get cancelled for saying "ladies have babies"
Democrats are definitely NOT cute.
ad break after 4 minutes??
COCO is that movie they were talking about.
now I know why I deleted this before. wannabe hippies with good info, but way too many bad jokes that drown out the whole reason we're here.
I LOVE DESSERT PIZZA FROM PIZZA HUT. I WILL BRAVE COVID JUST TO GET DESSERT PIZZA FROM PIZZA HUT.
Well, of all the misinformed and incorrect statements in this episode, they managed to get one thing right... they both are going to hell.
I thought trucks were invented before skateboards. learn something new every day
true grind is on the trucks, not the axles.
This episode reminded me of Tony Hawk's existential crisis.
I would appreciate an episode about Alberto Santos Dumont and his role on airplane invention.
On the Eiffel tower episode, you mentioned the lights... where they installed from the start or years later?
Now I know Eiffel 65 also used auto tune. thanks.
Wow. Chuck is a douche. Attacking someone's religion is not cool. Typical Democrat.
if they made the tower of stone they would have needed so much stone and they would have had to build so many supports. The reason why gothic churches have flying buttresses is to support the weight of all the stone.
Didn't George Washington Carver invent peanut butter?
Bega Peanut Butter with Honey.
as an addition: chuck you should feel like a pile of trash due to the Listener mail lady feeling self conscious admitting her christian beliefs. your mockery, and those leftists like YOU, are why she was nervous to mention that. #jesuswasntsocialist
My friend taught a language to me. It is along the lines of these made up jibberish languages. He says that its called Double German. Dont ask me why it's called that because it doesn't have shit to do with Germany,lol. Here are the "rules" Break words down into syllables. Start the syllable the way it is spoken normally then you add "La" then re speak the syllable again but with it starting with an "F". I know, I know it sounds confusing. here are some examples: 1. BABY= 1st syllable sounds like Bay so (Bay-La-Fay) 2nd syllable sounds like Be so (Be-La-Fe) put those together and you have... Bay-La-Fay-Be-La-Fe and that's Baby. You-La-Foo and that's You Hey-La-Fay and that's Hey Di-La-Fi-Fi-La-Fi-Cult-La-Fult and that's Difficult... which describes this Jibberish language to a T,hahaha. It's easier to hear someone else speak it and you decipher it then it is for you to learn how to speak it. Hope everyone enjoys trying to learn this shit,hahaha
