I had to use mplayer to play it, but yeah there it is. Tell the truth, I got more jerkoff mileage from Chemda talking about it than seeing the actual commercial.

Nice interview with the CMU robot geek. Guests definitely keep the show fresh.

What Oprah were you watching, mine had all the Meth pheaks on.

Best line: "Here is your forty acres"

Nice interview.

Wouldn't Chemda want the hundred bucks as a Birthday gift instead of a chance to lose on the poker tourney.

About having kids, don't do it if you don't want to. Period.

Kids are a lot of work, but yes, very rewarding. But a lot of work. Most asshats don't think about kids and just spooge one into existence through dumbassery on the birth control. Don't do this. The last thing you need to do is be bitter about lil johnny. This leads little johnny to getting in the bell tower with a rifle (which is much cooler than any of that Columbine Brand killing).

Now, the thing about kids keeping you young. Yes, you may feel in touch with youngness since you have a youngness person running around. But you're old. Sorry. However, if flawed logic is one of your things, bang one of those little squirts out.

And, just to preface (postface?), my kid is great. But, if someone said, "Your daughter just kicked my son, threw sand in his face, and then gritted her teeth while twisting his arm and asked 'More?'" Yeah, I'd beleive them. I'd also ask why their kid is such a fucking pussy.

The girls sniffing paint reminds me of the movie "Love Liza". I can just see the girls sitting in a room with their model planes when they're 17 while their idiot parents try to convince themselves their kids want to be pilots.

Hmm i tought the end song would be the foo fighters song

The Quietest show yet. Could you guys ask an audio consultant to come over. Your shows are now almost un-listenable, and when the song comes on at the end it blasts me right out of my earbuds.

Here's an audio level comparison from KATG's Monday show and Adam Curry's Daily Source code:

iTunes level meter for KATG #180

Yes and Yes, and god yes.

No spare money, to spend on myself, but when you buy your kid something he likes and wants you play with him, Priceless.

Up till 11 pm with the daughter (usually in bed by 9pm), and again at 330am to put the blanket back on my son and then up at 4am to feed the daughter again, and then up at 5am to leave for work. When they smile at the end of the day, i will have forgotten all of this.
