Listener comments!

  7:11pm
Listener Terry:

BTW, we did pay you. (At least I did.)
  7:13pm
dale:

do air traffic controllers get real beds? or do they bring little rugs with them to nap on the floor like we did in kiddygarten? And if they have beds, who changes the sheets?
  7:16pm
Zachary:

I believe the controllers have to change their own sheets.

Here is a good video from C-SPAN about UAV's:

Listener Terry:

So, it seems to me that something that cuts across (almost) all of the things that you have talked about is the systematic manipulation of language to prevent critical thinking. ($cientology is a perfect example of this.) Also the pandering to magical thinking ("Truthiness", Jesus, Birtherism, Climate Change Denial, etc.) Your thoughts?
  7:22pm
Thoughts:

Or magical-thinking mantras or advertising slogans such as "hope and change"
  7:23pm
dale:

i see a porno called sexworld based on westworld. that's as deep as i go tonight.

Porn Star:

  7:25pm
dale:

i meant 'saw'...it was the 70s (BLEEP bloop)
  7:27pm
dale:

i was in the marketing dept for ny power authority who owned ip3 for a while. tons of fines for operators asleep, leaking pipes etc. so it was offline like 75% of the time until nrc gave the go ahead - it really was like homer simpson was running the place
  7:27pm
Zachary:

I couldn't agree with you more Terry and Thoughts. People are exposed to safe media that does not force them to challenge their beliefs, thoughts, or views. Why challenge yourself when you can eat a convenient fast food dinner, watch television, and converse about sports?

Questioning yourself and critically thinking about the world around you is the key to progress.

"If you've haven’t intimidated anyone, you have nothing to worry about our intimidation of you"

Listener Terry:

Apparently, being TOO docile and cooperative with the TSA is ALSO a potential red flag....

  7:33pm

whiskytequila, ole!
  7:35pm
Paulbert:

Love advice is best answered with a cootie catcher
  7:37pm
Listener Terry:

A non-jewish male is called a "shaygets". It isn't so much rotting meat as non-kosher meats and other things that impart "ritual impurity".
  7:38pm
A. in Essex Co. NJ:

You're just turning the beer on too much and causing it to prematurely e-beer-ulate.
  7:41pm
sara:

I had chometz for breakfast! did you know most all bourbon is kosher?
  7:47pm
?:

By that time they will look like Summer Glau.
  7:48pm
Robert:

"Robot" comes from Hungarian for "worker".
  7:48pm
Listener Terry:

The robots learned awhile ago that lying is an integral aspect of running a corporation, remember? We talked about it on the show.

jaycjay:

Unfortunately, the robot was to be used as nothing more than an intercom with which to communicate with the guy. So he didn't "fight it off" so much as ignore it.
