Why didn't Joe simply shit in a bag?
I listen while I’m at work and I had to stop working for a full minute because the repeated Jordan Peterson bomb threats had me doubled over laughing. Thanks for that guys this job is miserable I needed that lol. I get one bomb threat I’m out fake or not thats a free break.
There was one moment when Nate said "Poppenbüttel area" in such a way that it sounded like he was saying "poop n'bottle area" which sounds pretty accurate for Hamburg in the 70s
The RAF giving yet another reason to hate in BMW drivers.
The name of Poppenbüttle went back to the Mediäval age. It's a place/ house /Büttle) , where a priest (Poppo) lived.
Hey Joe. Building maintenance guy who fixes a lot of toilets here with a Pro Tip: If the ones in Armenia are anything like ours, then what makes it flush down the drain is the adding of a couple gallons of water to the bowl. If the water is shut off or the flush valve is broken, then we'll flush it by pouring a bucket of water into the bowl.
Dammit Tom. Listening to the part about Taco Bell completely baked and now I want some gut bombs.
These people are clearly very silly but I would fucking love to see how much better some idiot tankie from today would do like Caleb Maupin.
Joe, hope you're having a good vacation. If you want to get an idea of what that "Socialist Patient" group was getting at maybe drop a note to Alice or Liam and ask how their mental health situation has changed since they found some success and had financial pressure ratcheted down.
I call this "going from grad school wages to a real job" and it's for real. Not even because treats and it's not like it cured my adhd but because I don't have to worry about covering everything in a month I don't feel a constant and overwhelming pressure to consider everything I'm doing.
Joe, Nate didn't complain because he was an officer. He's been trained to swallow farts without complaint.
That sounded less like Jordan Peterson and more like Paul Bearer from the WWE lol
It sounded like a slightly off Kermit the Frog to me lol
I cannot believe you didn’t make a bigger deal of Bader walking into that guy Peach’s workshop and _literally_ seizing the means of production. Seems like the one case of turning actual theory into practice, and non-violently even…
I'm a morning shower guy. Like a normal person
Poppenbüttel is a name people make fun of in german is well because "poppen" is a slang term for fucking lol
Two episodes in one day? How generous.
