  1. The car key thing is totally true.
    The water in your brain acts as a ground plane which helps throw the signal further.
    I think the british top gear ‘investigated’ it a few years back. it also works with 1/2 gallon of milk held next to the key

  2. Is there a Tax runaround for Amazon with the local outlets, now that they have to charge Tax to a purchase is there a advantage to having a brick and wood local store to say they have shipped from?

  3. Six minutes into the audio version and the levels are killing me in the car. Kishore and Jeremy are way louder than Norm. I keep having to run the volume up and down.

  4. Josh Trank was supposed to be doing an anthology spin-off movie, not Episode 9. There’s a whole load of reasons as to why he was taken off or whether he left on his own accord or what. Fantastic Four was abysmal, his erratic behavior – who knows. Rumor about Simon Kinberg having something to do with it – all kinds of things.

    What’s interesting with Ron Howard too, is that Lucas approached him to direct The Phantom Menace too. I wonder what that would have meant for that movie and the rest of the prequels for that matter.

    Does anyone remember this movie from the 90s? Has anyone ever seen it!? They mounted these joystick things on the seat armrests that had a few buttons on it to vote. The collective vote from the audience would play out.

  5. I agree! I turned off an episode a few weeks ago b/c of this issue. Usually it’s Kishore’s level.

  6. Someone please make the Iron man comments at 24:40 into an outro (SIC?) (I lack the time and skill ATM)
