I'm here for the live bird eating. What's up?

I tend to listen to your show while at work. It came up in the car today. So i remembered to comment. Your download numbers are not 0, don't worry about that. You do not need to eat a live bird. Just relax and do things you enjoy doing or seeing for the show.

didn't realize emily was an og katg fan too! Just goes to show, Keith and Chemda are great parents to teenage listeners everywhere.

if we keep this up we'll break the all time post count for the ten minute mess threads (even higher than the *one* where danny takes his shirt off).

don't eat a live bird.

Live Birds: Meant to Be Eaten Live on a Podcast

An essay, in brief, by a Canadian.

Live birds are dicks that make noise and peck open your garbage bags and scatter the damn garbage all over your deck. Apparently crows and ravens are the smartest animals, but they are also dicks who wake you up while you're camping by flying back and forth over your campsite cawwing about whatever bird nonsense. Live birds can eat it, or, more appropriately, get eaten live on a podcast.

In closing, I love the 10 minute mess. When I'm introducing people to the KATG world I show them your show first.

But more importantly, what TYPE of bird should we eat?

a) Pigeon
b) Seagull
c) Crow
d) Owl

WRITE IN!

We already know who you are deep down. COME FORWARD, BE CREEPY.

True Life: I Was A Teenage Podcast Nerd

Thank you! That's cool as fuck!

I thought replying to every forums post would be a chore, but it turns out it brings me immense joy! This is my life now.

Yes we don't NEED to do anything, but we suffer for the art.

e) Canada Goose

I hear Boots and the Ginger fucked an ostrich...allegedly.

I love the gen minute mess, but usually listen at work instead of watching. And since I'm about 1.5 months behind on podcasts I rarely comment. But yes, you two are hilarious and loved.

THANK YOU I LOVE YOU

We're sum baygull eating bitches

I'm a husband and dad that listens to the 10-minute Mess regularly BECAUSE - I have a daughter about Emily and Andrea's age (20's) and I happen to think it gives me a little insight into how my daughter thinks, and where her moral compass points. My daughter and I are super tight, but there's a limit to what we can talk about. But this show gives me a clue to who she probably is. And yeah, if she talks and thinks like Andrea and Emily, I'm just as proud of her, because she's the independent free-thinker her mom and I hoped for.

And...

There are moments at work where I need a laugh, and 10 Minute mess is good for breaking a bad day...

See... not skeevy. Right?

This is BEYOND flattering, and your relationship with your daughter sounds cool as fuck!

So, you mentioned that nobody reads/leaves comments here, so I feel safe sharing this story, in regards to my relationship with my daughter...

She was about 17, and had dated a few boys, but was never serious about any of them. Certainly not serious enough to have sex. Just a lot of kissing, based on her reports. So one day, I get a phone call:

Her: Dad, I think I met the "one".

Me: The one what?

Her: I think I met the "first" boy.

Me: *not wanting to assume* - The first boy for what?

Her: You know... sex.

okay - full stop right? What 17 year old daughter calls her dad with this revelation? What father doesn't immediately lose his shit? It was at this moment that the level of trust my daughter and I share was truly illustrated, and that trust and respect became more important to me than her virginity.

*small talk about where they met and is he in school, etc.*...

Her: How do I know if this is right? How do I know when I'm ready?

Me: Well sweetie, ask yourself this. If he stops calling in a couple weeks after you've maybe had a sex a few times, will you be okay? Will you still feel okay with your decision? Will you still feel like you owned your decision? If so, then you're in a good spot to follow your heart. And realize, he may do just that; just stop liking you. That doesn't make him a bad guy, and it doesn't make wanting to sleep with him wrong. You just need to make sure you own the experience, NOT him.

Her: ... pause... Okay. Thanks Dad.

My honest feeling in that moment was that, if I try to sway her away, lie to her, or in any way act upset at her, she may never ask me for advice or come to me at a crucial time ever again. So I tried to give her honest information and leave the decision to her, despite my natural (in my opinion) dad instincts to dissuade her vehemently.

I've always felt like you really don't know what kind of amazing person your child is until you talk to them as though you met them for the first time. My daughter is way cooler than I ever was. You two would like her a lot. You play that game about who would be in your crew... I think you'd pick her.

Thanks for letting me ramble on... how boring... a dad proud of his kid.

This is interesting , im fine .
