download on iTunes This episode on Talking bout Practice : Billy Ray Stupendous and I watch a gross movie while recording th show; I say "@ any rate" @ least 100 times; Billy says "in that regard" perhaps 6 or 7 times; teenage memories are unearthed; rich people and poor people are vilified or speculated upon; people who use their phones @ th movies are sentenced to hard labour; if you've got bionic ears you can hear wine being poured and bacon being fried; we disagree on 2 movies and agree on @ least 3; I assume (wrongly) that McLintock! preceded The Searchers; you are invited to e-mail me if you want to watch a retarded Canadian comedy w/ a heart of gold; and we begin to formulate th answer to a question you have already answered in yr head.
