The Scathing Atheist 
Hah!! The last two weeks episodes have been the best two episodes this ye-…. Well definetly the best two episodes this season (autumn). So many good episodes over a year. But the last two weeks… Bravo guys. The headlines, the guests, and especially the two diatribes were 100% ftw in the clutch!
Where Eli Manning fails weekly, Noah Lugeons pwns weekly.
The one critical thing i have to say tho was this: The nothing-but-silence response Heath received following his complaint about frequently overpaying for bags of chitlins during his time in New York was fucking hilarious! What was with all the crickets?
…Hmm the only thing I can think maybe happened was Cash and Noah were busy performing emergency surgery on a joint whose paper-burning was badly outrunning the herb-burning (possibly due to an over eager toker), OR perhaps they were busy co-operating a two-person-required glass elevator bongs. I wonder which..
Other than that, you guys never cease to get me laughing so hard that I inevitably wish I would have peed prior to listening. Keep up the good work 🙂
P.S. I am picturing a romantic comedy slow-motion airport/train station reunion scene when Heath arrives in buttfuck GA later this week. Please confirm this to be true.
I honestly think the crickets were a result of the editing. There was some problem with the audio that Cash recorded on his end so I was using a weird hybrid of the three tracks I had and may have had to deaden the other two tracks during that moment. I remember Cash snorting about it at the time.
And sad to say, the romantic comedy moment didn’t happen… well… not at a train station or airport anyway. Heath drove down.
Wow! That’s crazy, you splice together each different speaker’s separate audio tracks? That means at best splicing two , frequently three (holy babble I’m thinking), and occassionally four (pentagrammies or the skit with Tom and Cecil) tracks together on a weekly basis?
Wow, well that explains why the audio quality is always so good. And probably also explains why the audio quality sucks for soooo many other existing multi-host podcasts out there.
I fully withdraw my one critique. You are a good man, and thorough.
