what's the band Tim said he keeps listening to? not sure if it was this episode, but anyone remember?

Doug's a Pizza Hut guy and I'm a Pizza Hut guy, and there are coincidences like this everywhere... these things just happen. However, the orbs and the drones? Occam's razor will literally shave the whiskers off of any naysayers' bodies/faces. TLDR: Coincidences are nature's dunce hats. Listen, what they're not telling us is that The Greys can give humans orgasms with their minds, and these are twice as strong as usual (the orgasms, not the nimble/thin Greys) I shouldn't even be typing here, I bet those suits are lurking in here keeping tabs on Braun. 🕵️♂️🧩🚩 TRUTHNOG: "Ol' Nutcrackers" is an anagram for "Tucker Carlson". The drones cant track you if you wear an Annie wig. Milwaukee Butter Burgers contain wolverine meat. Oh god, somebody's knocking at the door... *gulp* https://nog.dog #intotheschneiderverse 🎤🧏♂️ #melekalikimakafromrobertschneider

Came here to talk about this. I listened thru most of the episodes after Tim mentioned it last week and man was I on board after ep1&2 and then I just had this weird moment when it became clear the Ky had completely radicalized herself and the actual evidence is scant and highly manipulated. By ep 7 she is in la la land and calling for all of mainstream science to be dismantled and discredited. It’s a wild journey.

I’m no musictitian, but I do believe Rachel Kaly’s voice brought a certain something to the song that even Charles Grodin’s son Josh can’t muster. Wow! Happy Holidaze, one and all. This might be the last one with men and chips if we don’t keep fighting.
Mary Newman
Not sure what they do but it's gross. I have a lime tree and mint growing. It's way better to add these real flavors to a Pellegrino or plain sparkling water. Plus you can add a little sugar which is missing from the Le Croix.
Phil Braun
Thanks but my face looks normal
Sherri Locker
Leo from Mr. Chimney Cleaning 🧹 not cool, you gotta thrown down those tarps. Shame on you.
Hanz
And is there really a Pine-Sol flavored one because oh my god
Hanz
Wait why is it so bad? I'd imagine it's the lime flavored one with some mint or something?
Hanz
Phil I get giddy every time you come on! You are one hilarious red faced man
Mig

OK I FORGIVE YOU GOSH DARNIT

Thanks for posting the article. It is extremely well-written and well-researched, and clarified everything I needed to know about those claims and the podcast.
Carly Melancon
and soooooooooooooo many ads, too! asodigjaosgijdasdgj
Tim Heidecker
this one's a free for all so thanks for enduring. Sorry, we can't say no to those hundreds of cents! -matt
Goose
Some of these Zoomers/hotheads were overserved!
Dan
Glad there’s a show that’s not afraid to say happy holidays!
Dan
Telepathy Tapes completely reeks of woo. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence
Carly Melancon
Whyyyy do I get ads???
Devon Bennett
Josh Groban is an absolute DELIGHT

Bad day to break some ribs…the drone/orb content had me in tears

It was very fun for me to round out my first whole OHL season with my first live Hotline call--a big 🎀 tied around the 🎁 that is OHL 💕 This ep had a lot of friends and a lot of laughs. Excited for more great memoRAYS with you all. See you next year!
Valery Brennan
Got a bone to pick with the bone-picker, Trap rules. One of my favorite films of the year!!!
Melissa
Did you have it on the tomato setting
Nick Julian
Groban is the best

I’m about halfway through the pod. My daughter is nonverbal level 3, so I’m emotional, but skeptical about it. I just watched the trailer on YouTube and it does look like the parent moves the pointing device a couple of times. It’s also a little frustrating that the host just accepts everything as truth almost immediately.
Mary Newman
Correct!
Mary Newman
Hopefully that pain can be channeled into some understanding that it's not intentional. One reason I like the show is how it's very real life with the cross talk, talking over each other. I grew up in a huge family, ten kids, so you can imagine the competition for air time. I wish I could say I gained a lot of resilience from it but my temperament from birth is more challenged than that, haha! So, I try to be aware, tolerant with many failures. Peace and love to you.
Phil Braun
I need a new webcam. I don’t look like that.

Even beyond all of that article’s criticisms, it is making a weird show out of these autistic children’s ‘abilities’ that they aren’t consenting to. Could be seen as perpetuating the ‘autistic savant’ stereotype as well.
Douggpound
Been looking for an analysis of this, thanks
Tim Heidecker
KJ if you’re on the Patreon please accept our apologies and DM so we can talk directly. Very sorry about this. Was not intentional. -Matt
Stu Walker
Yes, they said they were a they/them not a she after being misgendered the entire call.
Stu Walker
Thanks for the rec! Gonna add it to the queue

Who’s ready to see the Josh Groban residency in the 534 capacity theater at PACE in Parker, CO with Pauline Lussenhop?
Melissa
So glad someone mentioned Christmas Eve in Miller's Point!! You can stream it for like $4 right now. It's incredible and probably changed my life
Douggpound
I didn’t buy it. I tried it a picnic. Would never buy such a flavor.
rainbowdark
Gonna have to go ahead and point out that this was partially buyer error. Like seeing Pine-Sol® flavored LaCroix and thinking "Ohhhh! That might be good!"
rainbowdark
Gotta say, I'm loving TimPhil's new "banned" approach to Formerly Twitter. Didn't know and had me rolling when I looked. Fuck that cursed nazi place. Keep up the good work!
Luke Berthold
Incredible ad Doug!
Joe Brian Radio
THAT WAS AMAZING! Thank you for having me! -Its the Chocolate Santa, Manatee, Longmont Potion Castle T-Shirt guy. You know, -The Very Handsome Guy!! Like a 7/10 but with a sport coat pushing 8/10! He is a DJ and Guitarist, too? Wow!! (Haha) LOVE YOU GUYS HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! 🎄🎄🎄🎄

Yeah, that's definitely what they said. Seemed like it got lost in cross talk. So I get their frustrated goodbye, getting misgendered sucks (I'm trans too), but definitely didn't seem intentional on the guys' part. Hopefully someone can reach out to them and say sorry, even though it was a mistake.

❄️ Looking forward to the upcoming United States of Hell 2025!

Thank you guys and Happy Holidays to you and all the Patrons!

I think KJ said "I'm not a she" not sure if I heard that but I think so.
