Thank You
After I got sober, I needed a new way to pass the long hours down at my factory job on Route 81. A friend suggested Walking the Room, so I loaded it up on my iPod and went to work, manning a large and dangerous machine on the assembly line. Within seconds, my disgust and horror at the podcast caused me to spasm wildly. My arms were immediately caught in the machinery and ripped off at the elbows. Looking down at the crimson streams pouring from my pulverized stumps, I went into a state of severe shock. My nearest coworker could not hear my screams over the din of the factory noise, and as my vision started to swim, I had the thought that this might actually be the end. But there was another thought - this one ringing more clearly in my mind than any thought I've ever had - that I could not, would not die while listening to Dave Anthony and Greg Behrendt. With my arms being pounded into a bloody pulp by the machinery, I found myself unable to remove my earbuds. With the last of my strength, I dashed to my supervisor's office and he called 911. My memory fades here, but I was told that my final words as I lost consciousness were, "TURN OFF MY IPOD! I CAN'T DIE LIKE THIS!" You may think that I'd be extremely bitter about this whole experience. To the contrary, it was a blessing in disguise. After my legal settlement, I was able to retire to a nice house on the beach. I was also given new titanium alloy prosthetic arms, which give me the abilities to both crush metal objects and satisfy my wife for the first time in years. Now I spend my days fishing, relaxing, and listening to This American Life. So thank you, Dave and Greg. Despite expectations, your podcast has done some good in the world.Read full review »

Dave Anthony is the curmudgeon, Greg Behrendt is the optimistic one (don't know why, as they're recording the pcast in his closet, of all places), but it's 60+ minutes of insane ball-busting. Chemistry is everything with podcasts, and this one has it in spades... Highly recommended.Read full review »

Great jobs guys! Very funny. Please keep it going. I can't get tell you how much I appreciate the free comedy. I'm a fan of several comedy podcasts done by many of your contemporaries and I really feel like we are in the midts of some kind of comedy renaissance. I don't know if...Read full review »
