AMA for later this month

HI all - for the patron only show this month we are considering an AMA. Feel free to write any questions you have below. If there is enough response to do a whole show we will make an AMA instead of goofy news for the patron only. 

Comments

Cecil, have you had/cooked with any expensive foods like caviar, truffle, or saffron etc, and are they overrated or worth the price?

Lime Green Morpheus

Can you speculate on what a cooking show called “Season Conservatively” would be like?

Chris Ward

Has Tom ever considered voice acting? When I first heard the show I thought Tom sounded like a sober and polite version of Rick from Rick and Morty. Since they’re recasting maybe it’s something to think about.

Aaron Rodriguez

Who is in the photo behind Cecil in the studio?

LisaLisa

Tom: has Cecil ever cooked anything you didn’t like? Or Cecil: has any of Tom’s poetry ever turned you off? Or are you two ALWAYS on same wavelength?

A turn knees general

Will you guys be joining us for QED again this year?

Bob Brady

What pets do you have or had? What where they like. Also if you could have any pet. Real or fantasy, what would you like?

Shannon Klakowicz

Yes, i would really like an in-depth under the hood. Not just time management but all the details about what and how you make the podcasts. especially any differences between Cog Dis and Citation Needed.

Robbi Prior

Tom: how do you feel about slam poetry?

Lime Green Morpheus

Cecil: Three men get into a duel, one has a Renaissance era Italian rapier, the second has a katana, and the third has a Zweihander. Who wins and why?

Lime Green Morpheus

What is the best cheese for a cheeseburger in terms of taste and texture? Also what toppings are on your ideal cheeseburger?

Lime Green Morpheus

Now, it's just a matter of which theme song to use...The E-40 version or Shotgun Willy's? 😁

Francisco Polzin

What's each of your killer, go-to karaoke song(s)? You're at a bar and given 5 credits and a jukebox with every song ever made, what songs do you play? What's your most useless talent? If given a boat, what would you name it? What was the biggest fuck up you've ever had, but no one ever found out about it (or at least didn't find out on a timescale that mattered)?

Ian (no, not that one)

Can you give time management tips? You guys have jobs and multiple podcasts each week. How do you find/make time for it all?

Shane

Quick and silly question. I listened to some of your old shows and for a time you did sell welcome mats, why did you stop?

Perseus Barahona-Molina

What is your favorite time period in history and who are your favorite historical figures?

The Cute And Friendly Tarantula

I'm glad you exist, too!

Julie LaVoice

Me neither! Apparently, reasonable people are everywhere...even in Memphis.

Julie LaVoice

Omg I have never met another normalish person/fan in the wild! I am glad you exist.

Jessi

Hey, Jessi G. I'm in Memphis, too. I fully endorse your request! Two votes!

Julie LaVoice

What’s your favorite book that has nothing to do with a show topic, or skepticism?

Patrick Duganz

The best Sensei I've ever had was a lady. I was there for her 5th Dan test, and it was awesome.

TreeHuggerPestControl.com

Can you don some gear like captain Save-A-Hoe and come to Memphis? My neighborhood has the word "plantation" in it. Send help. (😁 I'll see my way out)

Jessi

I love the goofy news shows. After following you guys for so many years, I feel I know everything about you now anyway.

Cindy cessna

I am genuinely interested in what you both think about female-presenting people in combat sports. I ask as a martial artist of 30+ years experience, with rank in 6 arts (my heart is stick fighting though).

Mockingbird Nation

What do you guys think about the ongoing tech bubble collapse?

Sanschristo

Would love to hear the background and story arc of Tom's mom killing a monkey with alcohol.

LipstickLumberjack

Long time listener, first time caller: for each of you, what do you think are the biggest changes you've experienced to how you view skepticism and religion over the course of the show? Are there any things you wish to say to listeners who just started their "journey" into skepticism?

Nate-Dawg

I just signed a petition to impeach Clarence Thomas. My friends and I go back and forth on the efficacy of petitions. Since I live in Tennessee where I no longer have bodily autonomy and drag plus any public display of non-cisgender clothing will soon be illegal, do you think there's any point to signing petitions?

Julie LaVoice

I have a rare medical condition that means I have to be on an extremely low sodium diet and it can be very difficult to get food to taste good without salt. I'm also a vegetarian. Cecil, any recommendations for non-sodium replacements or good salt free vegetarian dishes? Tom, got any extremely dark descriptions of a world without salt that I could commiserate with?

Stormy Decisis says visit sharebannedbooks.com

Can we get Ian in the mix with you two more? I enjoy the interactions.

B. King

What’s a hobby you wish you could revisit if you had a “free day” or whatever? I know Tom used to brew but like most of us who don’t become actual brewers it’s fallen by the wayside. I recently gave away all by one keg, just not enough time these days, but I’m sure I’ll get back at some point (probably not lol)

Aaron

Hey guys, my question is kinda two, how's it goin? And what's your favorite little known ethnic food? Lately I've found an Iraqi place near me, and it's awesome.

Jason King

There was an episode of Dear Old Dads where Tom shared research about how your choice of college or university has very little bearing on your prospects post-school and the other guys seemed to struggle to accept the information because it contradicted long-held beliefs. I'm curious if you've had this experience with other subjects during your skeptical careers - has there been a piece of information which was objectively true but difficult to incorporate into your worldview?

B

Cecil, what is the meal you've cooked for Tom (or a meal/gathering he was a guest) that you're most proud of/thought was the best? Tom, what is your favorite dish Cecil has cooked? I'm so sorry if this destroys the podcast. I know food is very close to both of your hearts.

Wafflepriest

I miss hearing you shit on Ian during the streams. Can you shit on Ian?

Adam

Tom, if you could ask Cecil to make you any meal what would all the courses be?
