Posted By: FerrosI'd just like to give Joel a big thanks for bringing up the story of a guy having his testicles flayed... Dear god, i spent 5 minutes hunched over grabbing my nuts just checking they were ok after hearing that.Never go with a hippie to a second location.

your welcome?

...where was I when I had a conversation about genital circumcision (different from normal circumcision)? Was that at Friendly's (family restaurant) in Northampton with JustChristine and Zeke (2 Jewish cats)? The theorized process involved a circular cut on each half of the sack, so the stuff could spill out. I only mention it because Joel related a story of that exact thing happening on the last ep during the conversation about the morality of genital mutilation.

Reposting NotoriousNGP's comment from the HE Podcast Highlights thread:

One of my questions for the last podcast got cut off and not answered. I know it was technically old news but it had new developments about old news, sure the new Mad Max is going to be animated, but it will be CG Anime animated as inspired by Akira and directed by George Miller himself! But still, Mad Max is a cult-cha-ral institution down under mate, in Australia where I live it's in the National Screen and Sound Archive. Hopefully George Miller won't make it too Japanese or it won't be Mad Max any more...

Anyway...

The last podcast was good, I thought it was funny but not as funny as "The Counsellor Palpatine" part of The Usurper episode, that was HILARIOUS. Where's the T-Shirt for that?

I also find it difficult on the podcast to discern whose voice is whose...

You learn it after a while. Denise and Josh are the voices you can't hear cause they don't show up or are meek Asians.

Eli talks with the sound board, much like Sir Stephen Hawking.

And Joel.

.... yes. Denise never shows up and Josh is a meek Asian.

Yeah, honestly if you are hearing "talking" its probably me.

Ack! Why are my questions never answered in the podcast? It's like I'm CURSED or something. I listen every week up to the mailsack only to have my hopes DASHED!

I assume they are questions that they would want to answer/haven't answered before/grab Joel?

With the new format, you might have to perhaps ask faster, like when the post is first put up.

If any of the quotes specifically concern the podcast / the crew / the comic, I might be able to tell you what podcast they answered said question.

I/we go over all the questions before the show starts and pick the ones we havent answered before or the ones we actually have something to say about. If its going to be a one word answer we usually skip it.

Regarding your question about Australian TV, the answer was "no, we dont get australian TV in the US."

Since that doesnt make for very good podcast material, we skipped it. You are welcome to email me if you really want to know the answer to something though.

Joel tweeted that he got an Australian care package courtesy of FB Rerun(Away). Was there a call for this on the podcast? I don't remember the parameters for food givings, exactly. I think I remember a discussion about Vegemite and Daniel Feldspar.

It started on twitter after I mentioned Vegemite. Im saving that particular item for the next podcast.

So I just started listening to the podcasts and I have never laughed so hard in my life. You guys rock!

Wow, I've never heard of someone joining the forum before listening to the podcast, nice to have you!

Glad you're enjoying them. Are you starting all the way from the beginning? Thats like time travel.

Well I listened to a couple of the most recent ones then while at work was listening to 2-3 of the old ones for a couple of weeks to get all caught up. More then once I had to stop the player and walk away for a bit so as to not laugh my balls off in the middle of an otherwise quiet cube farm.

OH GOD IT'S BACK. IT'S BACK!

I AM REJOICING IN MY PANTS. AND IN MY APARTMENT. BUT MOSTLY IN MY PANTS.

Since we didn't have a D&D session today, and the Packers played on Thanksgiving, I finally got back to work on transcribing podcast episode 2 (I've been busy, OK!). I was thinking how awesome some of that stuff would be if the audio was just combined with static images to explain what's going on or whatever. Like some of the clips people have put on YouTube for Kevin Smith's SModcast (though of course the animation is probably beyond anyone's capability).
Not quite as detailed as this guy gets, but something like that.

Like a video version of this part of the transcript:
Joel: "I did not choose this! I don't need your judgment. I'm a simple fisherman fish. Fisher-fish." "Fishy Fish." He had some huge arms. "And he went wherever I did go." The first time I saw that I was like 9, and I was just staring, mouth agape, at the TV, like ...
Josh: I did the same thing!
Joel: Am I insane now? I'm not ok. I'm too young to get why this is/isn't funny. And I think I'm going to have bad dreams forever. But there's a bunch of boobies in this movie, so I'm going to keep going. I can make it.
Josh: Right.
Joel: I've lost my mind.
Josh: Just focus on the positive.
Joel: But they were '70s breasts, you know, and it was like, ah, what were they doing back then?
Eli: Not grooming?
Joel: Yeah, and not wearing support ...
Josh: They had hairy breasts? What do you mean?
Joel: They were like Monchhichis.
Josh: What?
Eli: That's all Woodstock was, was just a bunch of Monchhichis.
Josh: I don't know what that means.
Joel: The Monchhichis? Little monkeys that sucked their thumbs?
Eli: You don't remember what a Monchhichi was? They had a TV show.
Joel: We were right on the cusp of that, but yeah, it was like a 1983 show, so you wouldn't remember.
Eli: Monchhichi, Monchhichi.

Posted By: DrPepperMD I was thinking how awesome some of that stuff would be if the audio was just combined with static images to explain what's going on or whatever.

There was some plans to put the clips on YouTube with a static image of some kind, but Joel had to focus on the book so the plans went no where. If Joel asks me to put the clips on YouTube, or on a specific HijiNKS ENSUE YouTube page, I'll do so.

Thank you all for compiling this information.

Posted By: DrPepperMDJoel:But they were '70s breasts, you know, and it was like, ah, what were they doing back then?

Yeah I'd just like to say for the record that those are '80s breasts and there are some fine specimens apparent.

Can anyone remind me what the date of the first Podcast actually was. It gets confusing considering how many times the site has changed.

I'm guessing that it was around June 2007 based on Joel's references to certain things on the internet that day.
