Working hard (and a little fast) to make sure we can get this up before Patreon shuts down our access for routine maintenance. If not for that, you'd have gotten a bit more bonus stuff. So mostly it's just Patreon's fault.

Shownotes:

 

In this week’s episode, we’ll pull out some long overdue roasts, the kids from Covington Catholic sue the time dimension for defamation, and America will make it through this whole intro without a mass shooting.

Noah is right: it's GIF is gif, not jif. That's why there's no Gif peanut butter.

Paul Freelend

Did the Covington Catholic story not make the final cut?

Magichroma!

I'm just happy my roast finally got read, for context since I requested that roast. -he rejoined the groupchat and tried to act like nothing happened -I tried and failed to forgive him over christmas -the group chat fell apart because everyone felt weird about that and because he was dating a 16 year old

Magichroma!

Oh right this is about the rost of David, the twilight werewolf dm blocked by covington catholic

DJA

Isn’t it about time for another Vulgarity for Charity since I just heard my request. (Don’t let Eli help)

Chris Carr

Don’t see the promised link to buy citation needed tickets.

Sammy

Deninos pizza (worth the trip to Staten Island) just putting that out there for you guys. 💜

William Evan Barnes

On the diatribe: yes, it's a hard G GIF. But shortly into the diatribe, you said you've "never come acrosst..." There's no t at the end of across! Sorry man, have to be pedantic. It gets me just as much when people say "height" with a "th" ending. It's a damn hard T!

Bra Straps and Bitch Slaps

"Giving himself the hug Kiah won't." I AM IN BLISS. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH. THAT WAS PERFECT.

Julie Wine&Reason

Me neither, but I feel like I should. Can anyone explain?

Julie Wine&Reason

Fuck Tried...damn, I'm not going to spell that correctly. I'm also happy for women in Saudi Arabia, but these steps are not, as Lucinda noted, a win for feminism. If getting your child's birth certificate without a male guardian is the change, it's a good change, but it ain't fucking progress.

I'm one of the weird people who uses a soft G. I did it at the time *specifically* because it looked like the name of the peanut butter, and I thought it was funny. But I've never participated in what has to be the *dumbest* fucking internet argument of all time, because I understand what people are saying regardless of how they pronounce it, and I can't bring myself to care about the pronunciation of a goddamn acronym.

The Scathing Atheist

No need to soil the good name of pedantry here. You're complaining about a regional dialect difference, not a pronunciation that changes your ability to understand what's being said. That doesn't rise to the level of pedantry. -Noah

Hail Stan

I've definitely "participated" in it by mocking it. On a number of occasions. So yeah, when you think of it that way, that was poorly worded on my part. I was referring to the action of taking a side and arguing against the other. For nearly 20 years I heard it pronounced both ways, and we all (or at least everyone I encountered) understood each other. I had no idea there even *was* an argument until the internet decided there was a few years ago.

Stephen Gaston

Eli, I get the DnD jokes. I see you. You're valid.

Samantha Brown

Seeing all the other DND nerds on here makes me want to form a completely atheist DND group

Markus D

That's a regional dialect? I always just thought it was people saying things wrong.

Markus D

I think the only reason I can't stand the "j sound pronunciation" is BECAUSE it makes me think of the peanut butter and I don't like peanut butter.
