The reason Bostonians showed up with pots to catch the dripping molasses before the tank exploded was because Boston had a lot of Irish Catholics, many of whom were poor. Back in those days, all Fridays were meatless for Catholics. If you couldn't afford fish, as an Irish Catholic, you made vegetarian baked beans, flavored with molasses for your Friday evening meal. At least all my poor Irish Catholic ancestors did. I grew up near Boston in the 1960s, and I never smelled the molasses, although I spoke to people who claimed they could.

I can't believe I subsidize a dogs health care...... I mean I will keep doing so, but it boggles the mind.

Tank Profane

Sweet! I learned about this in jr high when it was a 'Fun Fact' in my science textbook on the section of viscosity. 'Fun Fact, molasse may be slow, but when you heat it up, you can kill people in a flood of it" That's why you should put your kids in French immersion. Instead of creationism in your science textbooks, you gave nihilism.

120$/mo. And that, my friend, is why to don't get inbreds.. i mean purebreds. they tend to have a multitude of health issues. Pugs are prone to respiratory problems due to their malformed nasal cavity, their eyes occasionally pop out of their heads because the eye socket is smaller than their eyes. And finally they can only give birth via c-section. Basically you pay a shit ton of money on purebreds so that you can continue to pay lots of money on it.

Patreon sucks. I'm honestly contributing to this, and I love this show very much, to support all of you. But I don't see how it works at all. I'm just old maybe. Well. No shit. It just worked

I pay Eli for making me laugh. If he wants to use it to grow dogs in a tank that look like the "kill meeee" clone from Alien Resurrection, that's his business.

I'm both freaked out and intrigued by the prospect of your elusive Eugenics episode. I know it's a running joke but... Maybe someday? When you guys are in really dark phase in your life? Please?

Geez, that's a great video bro! ;) <3

We all pay for the dog's health care... But said dog is named after a Game of Thrones character... Totally worth.

The stupid and incompetence is much greater then mentioned in the wiki article

Trump should paint the White House brown. You know...to stop the leaks.

As someone who also has pet insurance for their dog I understand you Eli.

This is one of those moments in history that has long fascinated me. This simply affirms I'm rather boring, but I sure hope you guys are all coming to Perth when you come to oz in November. I'll shout you all a pie and a beer! This episode was happy genius! Shoo-fly pie for the world weary! Eli's not the only one who has pets with a middle name, I've even got a 10k cat with a title.

Jordan Peterson murdered JonBenet Ramsey.

As someone who paid $3k last weekend (another 2-3 for a surgery soon it sounds like) to keep his dog alive, and with no test results yet showing why she was so sick, $120 a month sounds awesome!
