    “Gnome� Chomsky, Global Warming on Hoth, a “beautiful woman’s restroom,� and being a victim of “odometer fraud.�—- this is genius. A Will Franken podcast doesn’t get any better. I love the subtle smatterings of political satire/commentary throughout. PS: the opening line about buying a car with “my own mom’s money� made me laugh throughout the rest of the show.

    Awesome work exposing eugenics in America, one Rockefeller funded program at a time.

    Awesome work on just being funny.

    My favorite lines: "mr. chomsky i would like very much to fuck my mother but my mother passed away a few years ago" and "the Shakespearean poet William Shakespeare" and "it's time that America stopped it love affair with the fetus"

    and congrats on that "The World Stands Up" gig. looking forward to seeing it on TV. please keep us posted about the air date, if possible.

    oh yeah and ...

    man: "i've blown through my entire savings on prostitutes."
    interviewer: "don't you mean sex workers?"
    man: "actually i mean whores."

    and ...

    "sex should be liberating. it should be sexually empowering and sexual"

    and ...

    "oh come on! i'm just listening for the politics"

    Will, you are like a drug and your comedy is my drug dealer. Move to my neighborhood already because I need another hit of the drug that is your comedy. My local crack head of a dealer on my corner can not be trusted to give me the good stuff.

    Have I pushed this metawhore too far?

    Odometer fraud happens when the mileage on a used vehicle's title and odometer are altered. Odometer tampering is not only illegal, but expensive. Because the buyer thinks the car has fewer miles, she pays more for the car - and more in insurance and repairs. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that odometer fraud costs buyers about $10 billion every year.

    this one is relentless, merciless. the chomsky thing is absolutely brilliant, as was the shakespeare and the jesus. the warrior bit had me crying i was laughing so hard, the fact that i actually served in the 101st airborne for 3 years somehow made it even funnier. having served as a resident of san francisco for 9 years the postmodern contradiction thing finished me off, i surrender. also dug the obscure american prayer samples, haven't heard that since 1983 i think.

    It's an honor to have somebody who actually served in the 101st comment on the podcasts! That's been kind of a fantasy of mine--to have an actual hero hear some of this stuff. I don't mean to fawn, but the 101st is the definition of bravery. If you're ever up near San Francisco way, you have to let me buy you a drink, soldier.

    American Prayer--whenever I need cheesy porno music, I know right where to go--that Manzarek disco track. . .

    Rock on,

    Will
