giggles!

i just discovered that npr’s wait wait, don’t tell me! is on itunes podcast.

LOVE IT!

the only two podcasts i ever listen to are: real time with bill maher and wait wait, don’t tell me!

when i was a teenager, i thought paula poundstone was the funniest (sarcastic style) comedian... before margaret cho and ellen (yeah, ellen actually does have good humor pieces in her stand up) and paula’s on one of the podcasts!

finally, one redeeming reason why i like apple (they are so money hungry and greedy.... like all other giant corporations...) sigh....

if you’ve never heard wait wait don’t tell me!.... it’s a game show that involves just current new stories of the day/week. one bit is... the host reads three quotes from the news and some caller has to guess who the quotes are from. if you get 2 out of 3 correct, you get to have the host do your voicemail message. another bit is asking some pseudo celebrity (blah blah who is the vice pres of the school board for ohio.... or some mixed-martial artist... or some musician) and they they play for the caller and have to correctly answer 2 out of 3 questions or whatever... and then they have a lightning round to see which comedians is the most up to date. they have three comedians who also read headline events.... two are false stories and one is true and a caller has to guess which one... (i.e. maxium’s hubbaloo with not listening to cds all the way through before writing a review of the band...)

it’s sorta romantic... good old fashion humor. :) and it keeps me up to date with world news!

and real time with bill maher... is of course.. an audio recording of the hbo show (i don’t have hbo!) which is also great cause i have been watching/listening to bill maher since i was... like... 15? maybe even younger.... i can’t remember....

yay!
