Episode 11: Cartography


Young Man Joe joins the panel again before we go irregular for a while. Danny gets oddly offended when we badmouth sharks: maybe he is one?? You will learn the truth about brown M&Ms in this episode. Listen if you want to ponder the differences between Danny and Sigourney Weaver.

  1. That was really really great. I love the witty tone that this show carries, and I believe this show has TOTAL potential as a Talkshow of some sort. The actual topic brings up the interesting point of names of places. Most things are actually called names because that's what they've always been called. In New Zealands case, I think South Island and North Island sound perfectly respectable and any wish to change that would be rather eccentric in and of itself.

    The hypothetical scenario section had me cracking up in laughter. Many props and 3 Kudos from me.

  2. HEY TOM, DANNY and returning guest JOE ! !

    I've read the EXACT article on NZ names some time ago :) , I still think it's funny/ridiculous.

    Hypothetic reaction to theoretic hypothetical opinion to a hypothetical situation was very very good!!

    Tom?? ...did you just compare Joe's hair to Hitlers' lolz..

    Woo!! Tales from the suburbs. Although quite short this time.

    Old people porn?!?!? That's just so wrong on so many levels.ugh. What a horrid horrid mental image...

    Danny's Animal Fun House was cool and it's one of the only segments that has it's own personalized intro song to it.
    Can cows swim???

    OK Danny, you're right, every time I've thought of sharks in my life I've always thought to my self "well sharks are such gentle creatures"...um...no

    Cartographer Joe? are maps those things "they" had back in the day before google earth and (GPS)Nav systems? and i think you are using an idea from "papertowns"...actually, ok you just said it.... yea that's a fun book.

    Have an awesome trip TOM. You too Joseph I hope you guys don't sorta drift and forget to bring me my monthly filling of random knowledge and conversation in the for of a puddle of gravy.

    I think Partyboy Danny didn't like his nickname at all :P
    it's still funny.

    As for you Tom, Tomcat isn't half bad, and the ironic backstory is good as well.I myself haven't thought of anything worthy. I'm sure that maybe someone will come up with something clever,playful and fun in this episode comment section. Hmm... Tom-cat...Tomcat...hmmm...not half bad.

    WEll then,

    GREAT SHOW, Stay together for the kids n all that. Hope to hear from you guys soon-ish. Be safe and have fun. Maybe the next episode will have some sort of Where in the world is Tom? segment or something ad-hoc.

    PEACE!

  3. Great episode. This intermediary part was funny. Especially the Bill Gates part. And the Hitler part of course. That was exactly how I imagine him to react.

    The tales from the suburbs get more and more disturbing. Customers who demand home liposuction kits and bosses who like granny porn? Yours must be an interesting country to live in.

    Your Carcharodon Lector part was hilarious.

    Only slightly related to the papertowns: a german comedian made a cartoon sketch about an animal he invented: the stone louse. An official medicine dictionary made an article based on the sketch and prints it in every edition since 1982. On the CD-Rom version they even included a video.

    Have fun travelling, all (or at least 2/3) of you.

  4. You know why no sharks have ever been called "Tarquin"?

    Because it is IMMEDIATELY APPARENT to even the most casual selachimorphic nomenclaturist that "Sharquin" is a much better name.

  5. Hilarious Russian accent. I hope you do more accents in future shows!
