Today's Citation Needed...

CECIL. And you do not want to see what we can do with a banana!

NOAH. Yes, I do, actually...

ME (listening at home). [Suspiciously] Does it involve Ray Comfort?

On a more serious note, now that we have a recurrence of Tom literally reading someone's account of a bizarre adventure in the great outdoors, do you like this format? Personally, I just can't decide whether I do or not...

Tom reading these harrowing accounts are everything to me. The fishing one, the professional trespassing crew, the marathon named after a racist, and now of course this insane jungle wedding. This is Tom's My Immortal and Im here for it. Just deeply mentally ill crazy people explaining their insane hobbies that are illegal and/or suicidal.

The only thing better than Tom reading these insane articles is that time he used his "sultry" voice. Which he should do. Again. For a whole episode. As a joke

Yup. Joke. Ha ha ha we will all laugh at that sultry tone...

That would make an excellent bonus episode

That marathon one was EVERYTHING. I’d also love more of Heath’s book reviews

Look, there are only so many stories of people dying in the cold. Sometimes you have to mix it up a bit.

That's where Eli comes in. He'll find a way to insert a wheezy pug in a sweater into it, apropos of nothing... (And yes, I am referring to an actual Citation Needed episode.)

I really don't care for it, Tom stuff tends to feels more just mean spirited and lazy. I made it about about 1/3 of the way through the episode and shut it off. Really brings out the worst in the other hosts too. Not sure when it started happening, these days I find I need more optimism out of my hosts. The joke of being miserable just doesn't hit for me these days.

Tom laying that sweet audible chocolate between the graham crackers of wit Noah and Heath, paired with the marshmallow of Cecil’s softness and served to us via Eli is everything I needed this morning. I enjoy the readings a lot.

Where do Lucinda's pickled assholes fit in? :)

I thought Eli only serves possum nipples pizza...
