awwww! jessica, you sounds *so* cute! come visit us in seattle!

jas, i love your music taste. you know that!

man, you guys have GOT to get better friends...O wait, this is me. so anyway...seriously, i had such fun doing this - great job on the editing & production, seth! you know i couldn't love you guys more, & now our reunion has gone down in the annals of recorded history!

Another killer show, guys -- worth the wait.

is this where I say "seattle reprazent"?

I've got The Notebook in my netflix queue so I'll watch it soon enough. anyway, pure awesomeness guys.

I thought you guys were all very annoying, twee, and fake until you started trashing "Napolean Dynamite" and "Garden State" when I started to think you might not be as empty headed as you sound (west coast thing?). The music is really good.

Love,
Jerr.

sublime. what an enjoyable podcast, from the spot on hipster tunes to letting us hear the sort of charming banter that can only come from old friends chatting about what they like. extra special points for averting the traffic accident that is U2.

definitely come out to seattle soon.

btw: on above comment: "twee"? talk about try-hard. :P

Regarding above comment:

"extra special points" = twee

"try-hard"? You make it easy.

Love,
Jerr.

Not sure what all of this means...
but i tried to email Jerry back, yet
his email was not working...hmmm how odd?

Regardless, thanks for listening. We can't
be anything, but ourselves. Each time
someone new comes along we only hope we
can live up to their expectations of what
we should be.

Seth: "Being yourself" and "hoping to live up to other people's expectations" are difficult things to achieve simultaneously. Your insistence that "we can't be anything but ourselves" is true, I suppose, but only trivially true.

I'm sorry for being such a killjoy here: I really do like your music. And this puzzles me. It's somewhat alienating to discover that you like the music of people whom you dislike. For instance, I found your discussion of poor people who have too many kids abhorrent. No doubt, you probably wouldn't like me either if you met me. I guess aesthetic sensibility and interpersonal compatibility have little to do with each other, or at least less than I imagine. And maybe that's ok. I mean, you don't have to marry me or anything.

Wow, Jerry, you're really invested in not liking us (three posts?).

Just so everyone knows, I was the one who was horrendous in the discussion of procreating. And it was wrong, I agree! It was probably the worst thing we've said on the podcast (though Jerry, you might be able to think of more points of contention).

However, I don't recall saying anything about poor people having children-- if I recall correctly, I was talking about people who have very decent salaries-- enough that they can get by on one income. My point was that it amazes me how some women with lots of children can let their health go. My comment was glib. It was obviously a horrible discussion, and would be offensive to many people I know and love. When it comes down to it, I honor all women who raise their children the best way they know how, no matter the number, no matter the income.

My friends, I am sorry (and to Jerry, too).

hey! great show again! jasmine sounds like a cool person to hang out with, and you guys too of course hahaha.
gosh voxtrot is taking over the podcasts, they're everywhere!! i think i heard 3 shows playing their stuff already, but at least you guys played something different :)

well have happy times guys
later
fierce panda!!

ps: more movie reviews pls

Not only do I love the show, I don't think it a wise idea for ANYONE to pop out a whole mess of offspring, overpopulation considered, but I think it a doubly poor idea if one's financial struggles place them well, well below the poverty line.

Of course, I also eat Twinkies, so I don't know that I would trust anything I have to say.
