56: Schmucks [August 23, 2013]

Heron admits to being a rabid language monkey for a day thanks to Time-Warner. Heron wants to get the listeners on to Teamspeak but Tom thinks Heron should go to the listeners. Tom raises a listener question on the language machine and disassociating from it. A professional frisbee Neanderthal friend of Heron's distracts the main topic for a minute or two. Tom talks about the formality of radio and when it fails, it fails hard. Tom talks about talking in squish and puts an idea out to the Stone Ape listenership. Tom answers a question from a listener about the death of VR. (Editorial note: It is Magic Alex not Electronic Alex.) Books are the topic of another listener submitted question. To be expected a comic book update moves into Heron is Breaking Bad. Tom decides to air some dirty tshirt laundry. Heron wants to emulate Charlie Mason in terms of tattoos. Heron portrays himself at 16. Tom talks about the ideas farm and the role of KS on this. What happens when you can't speak? Tom tries to call some listeners on Skype. Heron wonders who the schmucks are in this process.
