Ha. I am first.

Marc, whenever you do these Adam & Eve promos you only mention toys for the ladies.  Keep in mind that men can use toys too.  We are sensitive to vibrations and we also have an orifice that can have things inserted into it for pleasurable sensations.  Regardless, love the show as always.

My 9 yr. old son was recently diagnosed with Asperger’s. Should have known something was up when he taught himself the greek alphabet at 6 years old! this interview gave me alot of hope for him, I’m not really concerned about him so much. More so how he’s treated as he makes his way in life. Made me cry you fucker! Then again your podcast usually does.
                                  Love ya man, Dave

How can I see his one man shows? Is there a release? I’m sold and need more.

Never heard of Jack Gallagher.  Don’t know anyone (or don’t think I know anyone) with autism.  This episode was brilliant and I am so keen to see more of him.  Hearing him talk about such painful issues in his past, and hearing the joy in his voice talking about his kids got me out of my own head to the point where I was tearing up.  Jack’s the embodiment of REAL LIFE.  Thanks, dude.

Marc, that live WTF at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston in January etter be on for real! I’m not sure my psyche could handle that if it were just a tease. In January, we need all the cheering up we can get around these parts anyway.

This comments section is nothing like the ongoing fist fight over at Adam Carolla’s podcast. That fucking thing is a free for all. When I come here I’m struck by the positive atmosphere. And a little irked. But I enjoy the podcast. Thanks.

As I work my way thru the day at a factory in America that builds commercial airplanes I wonder where the entertainment industry thinks a majority of people work? I realize the USA consists only of New York & California , but cut a caucasian a break & wake up to the rest of the USA.

Yes, Tim and Eric is meant to be taken in small doses, much like cold medication. Aaron and I are both big fans of the Misfits . lauhotgh the 3rd season isn’t as good since Robert Sheehan (Nathan) left the series. I have yet to see Shameless but the Inbetweeners is fun. Other cool BBC shows:- Whites- Look Around You (both seasons even though they are very different)- Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace (this features a bunch of people that you will recognize)- Secret Diary of a Call Girl (for multiple reasons)I heard Luther was good.
