Hiya folks – we're recording a hybrid episode of Way Less News / Even More Qs soon and need some questions for Katy & Cody. We'll probably only have time for a few Qs, so also let us know if there's anything of the Way Less News variety you'd love to hear them discuss as well.

–Jonathan, who will also be there

Comments

Josh Jude

Is there a particular book that you feel changed (or set) the trajectory of your political thinking? Follow-up question: Are you mad at me?

Andrew Scott

Is a taco a sandwich? Follow up, why are tacos the Best sandwiches?

Chelsea Hanson

How does SAG aftra actually work as a union, since its not one company negotiating?

Nathanael Bryant

Do you actually like or dislike AG1? Your ad reads make it seem that you only do it for the money and don't actually enjoy the product.

Ava

How do you deal with news fatigue? I get so overwhelmed and exhausted, I would love to know your strategies

Ava

How do you manage to produce such well researched, funny, high quality episodes on a weekly basis? Rhetoric question, just appreciative of the amazing work you all do

Dikke Noot

Please critique the path for a college grad who might want to go into civil service or run for city government to make shit better in their community.

Josh V.

Are you all pretty tight with Robert Evans? Love me some BTB, and you all are my favorite guest hosts!

Josh V.

Also, is it an inside game to have Katy read ads blind with funny stuff you all snuck in to try to get her to break? I get that feeling sometimes and it gives me a great laugh.

Maya

Montreal listener here: I always wonder how American-based creators of American-focused content conceptualize their international audience? It’s hard not to filter my understanding of political and cultural issues through US touchstones. Love from your non-American listeners <3

John Ross

I was just wondering if the lack of any news about what the boars have been getting up to a sign that they are planning something, a sign that slow news days are less frequent now (as I haven’t heard any boar related news to share) or just a disappointment as it makes it hard to keep up the running joke about the threat boars represent?

Alice Lewis

What happened to Reagan part 2???

Mady

How do I deal with the anxiety of potentially losing my healthcare under a trump administration and balancing that with the awful policies on Gaza from Harris. I don't want to support her due to the genocide, but I also have no choice but to support her in some ways.

NetherLynx

Do you have a favorite cocktail or other mixed drink? Could be alcoholic or non-alcoholic.

Harvey Danger Noodle

Whatever happened to Cody the Human from the SMN movie? And why does he look so much like Warmbo? Are they the same species? Is it some kind of convergent like evolution to protect him from predators, which I presume to be Warmbo?

Steve Snyder

What was Cody’s brand of cigarettes when he smoked? I started with Camel unfiltered and ended up rolling my own 10 years later. I’ve since quit as well.

Holy_Bard

If you come to Oklahoma, I'll buy ya'll a beer! (please read in the form of a question)

Vanessa Walsh

What's a smn inside joke amongst you that you wish your listeners knew about?

Kim

No questions just want to offer my eternal gratitude for the effort you put into the episodes, the research, the clever writing, etc. it helps so much more than I can say! 💝💝💝💝

Nicholas McDonagh

Hey all love the show! How do you balance your own self improvement with activism and your own mental well being? I always feel like one of these things gets completely ignored for me while I pursue the other. Any advice/sage wisdom around this topic?

neku104

I know that everyone in the Cracked diaspora seems to regularly feature on each other's podcasts/programs, what are the odds of the SMN team showing up on the 1900 Hotdog podcast?

Meredith

Howdy y’all - love the tireless work you do. So important to have a news podcast since there’s no others. My Q- I’m trying hard to not be a single issue voter around the genocide in Gaza, but I just can’t seem to vote for Kamala unless she were to radically take an actual stand (which after the DNC convention seems unlikely). How do you feel about voters in solidly blue states voting for a Jill Stein or a Dr. West while making sure to down ballot. Is there something to be gained from showing that folks are unwilling to support her? Is this just pissing in the wind?

Smokey McBongwater

Has anyone ever asked yous about your butholes after you did the bidet ads?

Linden Soroka

Do you feel like the Diane from Bojack in your lives as well? Constantly bringing up how broken everything is, or do you keep politics out of familial and friendly relationships?

Tommie the Tired

What is your favorite over the top action movie?

Alex Gorley

Are the jokes in the credits (A ___ Story, Based on ___, Watched and Enjoyed by ___) written by whoever wrote the episode or does someone in the editing process add it?

Skuimel

How did you celebrate your birthdays this year? Aside from the well-deserved time off, of course.

Harvey Danger Noodle

Do you guys think you would ever do an episode on “why I left the left” grifters?

NSA

You made a comment on the podcast the other day about mediastouch network curious what your opinion is of that outlet? And how about others like tyt? Or majority report?

Richard Frias

Cody, what is your favorite Lightsaber form?

Coy Cadaver

Why can we not have animal facts in place of the ad space? Also who's got dogs and/or cats?

Dan Benningfield

My favorite character in all media now is the guy who came to pick up the creamed corn. Can he be a recurring character please?

Vaultboy678

Katy, has your move to a mountain town changed your thoughts on seasons? Do you have a new favorite or least favorite? Cody, are you gonna play star wars outlaws?

Mars Hottentot

News dropped a few weeks back that the Toxic Avenger reboot was getting shelved. This, despite being 100% completed and starring Peter Dinkledge, Kevin Bacon and Elijah Wood. The reason being that the studio had no idea how to market it. This is one of a growing number finished studio pictures to be locked away in recent years (a Batgirl film most notably). Thoughts?

panpolypuff

Hey Cody, any fun new music things in the works?

Adam by the Birch

If you were, hypothetically of course, planing on building a survival bunker to wait out the seemingly inevitable global climate crisis and potential second civil war, where in the world would you build it? Let's pretend money and legal issues aren't blockers.

Michael Atakpa

Trumpy Trout and America First Trump Digital Trading card roasting

AEPSchmitt

What is the best book you have ever read? One of those that forever change your perspective on life

SpecialJeFX

Why does it appear that the America's on your map in the background are backward while every other continent seems to be correct? Florida is pointing west and Alaska is pointing east... While on the opposite side of the map (screen right) rests the Asian continents in their correct placement. https://simkl.in/episodes/14/14171105abd3090f25_w.webp A real question: Do you think there is a tipping point for MAGA followers? They seem to have no bounds!

Fabian Rosdalen

What are some handicrafts you really enjoy doing?

Allycia

What is the current Warmbo Lore summary? I think I missed the episode where the Warmblets (??) appeared.

Salty Mayo

Choice between Hitler, Trump, and Mussolini for a dinner date. Who and why?

Stephanie Oehmen

Did you read Murderbot book series? I hear it is going to be a tv show... thoughts? Favorite card/board games? Fave tv shows?

AllTAllShade

So I’ve been watching every episode and I’ve finally reached 2020 (😬), I keep wondering if sometimes you write ads for each other without showing them to each other to rehearse, cuz sometimes the way you guys come off reading them feels like you’re surprised that you’re actually saying what you’re saying. Anyway, love you guys. Thanks for keeping me safe and comfortable at night with your awesomeness.

Mark jackson

Q for Cody. Do you listen to Dr Dog at all? I got a lot of similar vibes from the Hot Shapes songs I’ve heard (in an entirely complementary way I love them).

neil faulkner

Dearest Cody, Do you feel that the hot shapes have surpassed Jesus Christ in poplarity? And if not when wil it be so? Also is Warmbo an only child?

Evan Hepfner

What topics do you all tend to disagree on most? I've noticed in the Even More News casts that Cody and Katy frequently disagree (at least as intensity about topics is regarded), but I was wondering what the first person view of it is from all of you.

Jphilli

What's a talent that you objectively don't have that you wish you did?

Yaron Davidson

Hi, so less of a question and more of a comment/request/issue, but putting in here assuming there's a large chance that, if you don't read all comments on all posts, you'd at least read ones on a Qs request: Can you please make some way to clearly, and always, denote in the title here (Patereon) if a post is Even More News or something else? Specifically, I watch the Some More News in video, but am subscribed to the Patreon feed in a podcaster for audio. Since there were audio posts for both, and "Even More News" in the title was common but not reliable (didn't happen in all cases), I just filtered the podcast to exclude "ears only" since Even More News didn't have video and so you never put "ears only" in the title of it, but did on Some More News. But now, since you started putting Even More News on youtube, I don't see any reliable consistent way to automatically separate the two. Which is a problem. Thanks.
