LOL, ok, I didn't think that the BikeRap would be taken off my MySpace for a while, but it just might be replaced by this.
Genius. Shear genius.
Bri-
We are told to be open mined non judgemental about other people, and caltures. So why so judgement about the vechiles they drive. Acording to this episode the only go car is a compact hybred. Some people like farmer need a full size truck. and a family of 5 or more needs more room then can be found in a Mini. In all other life style chocies we told to be exepting. You may not like their choic of transportation, but that's what freedom is, Choices.
I have enjoyed your DadLab videos for well over a year now, and I was expecting something of the usual good stuff when this episode was released.
However, my initial reaction to this episode is basically one of disgust and disbelief.
Here you have a man, who is, or pretending to be, drunk talking about a baby/toddler aged book.
Instead of the eco-commentary, why couldn't it just be about the book as the episode is supposed to be?
It was supposed to be about a children's book correct? At least you could have used a better book than the one chosen.
I almost unsubscribed from this podcast as a result of this podcast.
To get the humor you have to understand the completely over-the-top Owen style. Hilarious!
BTW, the muscle car is NOT a Dodge Challenger as used in Pukes of Hazard. It's a Chevy Nova (doesn't work in Mexico: No va - HA!) Please Owen, brush up on the hip muscle cars of the 70's. They are definitely not eco-friendly, but they are totally cool.
Too bad Detroit doesn't get that the totally cool car for this century will be a killer looking non-fossil fuel vehicle. If the conservative Japanese hire some trendy American or European designers this can happen real soon as they are already years ahead in the technology department.
