AMA #..? Probably #1

Comments

Which is most frightening - Trump, Pence, or Eggnog?

Chris R

Have you ever had Basil Hayden's Bourbon? If so, what did you think?

Woodland_Shadows Check out my IG if interested in cutsom wire art

Any good bourbon recommendations? It would be nice to find something that isn't our goddawful Canadian whiskey..

Chris

Do either of you guys know how the lawrence krauss thing ended because he kinda just fell off the map after the allegations and no one seems to acknowledge he exists anymore?

Rachyausome

My wife and I have a disagreement about your guys’ actual feelings about David Smalley. I say you actually like, and work, with him. I first learned about you guys from his first Podcastathon. My wife says there is some real animosity between you. Are either of us right, or is there some middle ground that’s closer to the truth?

A DM who just once would like to make up an NPC's name that my players don't make fun of.

What sort of fencing does Cecil participate in?

Mark Siefert

Not great advice, but don't go with the high-end single malt. It just makes you broke as well as sad. Monarch will get you through the day just as well. Now excuse me while I wax patriotic and drink my lunch...

Jin Hadah

What's the most surprising (to you) shift of opinion that either of you have experienced as a direct result of doing the show, either through research you might not have done otherwise or interviews which have pushed you one way or another? Has the show had a large impact on your personal relationships?

Jin Hadah

How much would your local dairy council have to pay you guys to try their eggnog?

Brilliant Beholders Beam Bumbling Barbarians

How do you feel about churches being voting centers?

Adam Ronhovde

Stupid question: I think I am pledging at an amount that means I get a ringtone from you guys? How do I contact you with such mundane requests? Not-as-stupid-question: How do you face each new day knowing that about 40% of your fellow Americans think Trump and his administration is doing a fine job? I could use some advice. ;)

Hypatia

What would be you ideal vacation, if time and expense were no issue?

Nicole Ramirez Lambeth

Either of you guys travel to Canada much? Great lakes region is pretty mobile.

Anonymous ethicist, not a serial killer at all, just asking questions.

Haggis or black pudding?

Max Winfrey

Fuck, marry, kill Noah, heath and eli

Donald npc

Italian beef or meatball sub?

Fairest Booler

Who would each of you fuck marry and kill? GLORY HOLE MOTHER FUCKERS

Robert Anderson

Don’t yell at us common folks that can’t make our own mayonnaise. I have tried way to many times (like at least In the 30s) and still can’t do it. What’s your secret?

jessica

Is the show really produced in association with the local dairy council?

Brian Bowers

Which of you is bigger?....asking for a friend.

Skrydstrup

I don't know if you guys have ever told the story of how you guys met. Maybe that's too long of a story for the AMA - maybe tell it on a regular podcast ep some day. What's your origin story?!?

Geewunner

Why does Tom have first billing? Sure it should be "Cecil and Tom". As we know Cecil does all the work.

Rodney Lewis

I’m sick and tired of Tom not showing us his balls. When will Tom finally reveal his balls to the cosmos? Gloryhole Motherfuckers.

Carl The Italian Stallion Sagan

How do you keep your energy up when you are doing a studio podcast? You always seem to be worked up for two guys sitting in a room talking into a microphone. What inspired you to name your organization Gloryhole Studios?

Hypatia

If you were Trumps underwear, what color would you be?

Shane

Do either of you have pets and if so can you tell us about them

Else Black

Should one peek into a gloryhole, or is that against ettiquette?

Glenda D Kenyon

If you could get a big name opposition person on your show to have an honest interview with who would it be?

Derek Timp

Have you been to an actual glory hole? 😂😂😂

Guy

Cecil: Is there anything that Eli could do that would make you consider becoming best friends with; curing cancer, ending poverty, finding the holy grail, etc.

Joseph Kubal

Do you really sincerely love deep-dish pizza or you just feel compelled to defend it as Chicagoans, especially when those arrogant New Yorkers compare it with their pizza?

Aya Sakurai

Can you guys do a worst tried regional food favorite instance on your show? It works this way: Those out of state/region try an others champion foodstuff and review why it is bad/good. Reason being: I just tried Cincinnati Chili; it is Prepared Vomit. St.Louis MO,: Ribs: Really Good. Toasted Ravioli: Okay

That's not your Lawn Tiger

What's your favorite cryptid (bigfoot, chupacabra, mothman, etc.)?

Mara S.

There was a BIG change in attitude/engagement once Tom finalized his divorce a few years ago and it hasn't diminished much since then. Can Tom walk us through just what he was going through? Only what you are comfortable to disclose of course. I really do not want to know things you hold personal--A Carefully Curated Tom is all I ask at most. If none at all. That is fine.

That's not your Lawn Tiger

Serious question: when are you guys gonna be on GAM again?

Tabitha

To tom: which kid is your favorite 😛

Tabitha

Who would you like to have most at the glory hole? Where do you guys draw the line at when it comes to stories (not that you couldn't get a laugh out of an orphanage inferno) ? What topics would you like to other wise like to cover that don't match the format? Before you came out to conferences how did you picture your average audience member? How do you solve toxic masculinity? For Tom, what ideals and ethics do you hope to instill in your kids and have you learnt all thier names yet? Cecil, what drew you to sword play and are you a competitive fencer?

Big black cockatoo

Which of you had the biggest mid life crisis?

Rob

I think this will be a little more directed at Cecil but I'd like to hear from both you what drove you into podcasting? Cecil I know you've mentioned before you had a MMA podcast, you guys obviously did Everyone's A Critic for a while with no funding and seemingly a tiny audience. Why did you have such a drive to get into podcasting?

Brendon Potter

If you were to rewrite the Skeptics Creed, is there anything new you would include in the list?

Martin Fidel

Can you recommend a good cookbook for sauces? Also, F/Marry/Kill, Liz Crokin, Jim Baker's wife, and Endless Spaghetti Lady. Gloryhole!

Erik in Denver

Is there a saturation point for atheist/skeptic minded news shows and if so, has it been reached? After all the audience is relatively small and there's not much mainstream appeal. Are smaller podcasters wasting their time?

Simo Hyttinen

What are your thoughts on MAGA Kenye West?

Nicholas Ege

Cecil, what kind of conditioner do you use?

what happened to Thomas's feet

Let’s talk deli. Corned beef on rye or lox and chive cheese on an everything bagel? What about chopped liver? Knishes?

Dr. H

When are you escaping to Canada?

Micheal Stuart

Any plans to discuss the recent election of Trump-like candidate Bolsonaro in Brazil? He won the evangelical vote there, just like Trump did in the US.

Shu Muramoto

Who came up with the best friends bit with Eli?

Kalen Turner

Curious as to what's been your favorite news story since you've started the cog dis podcast, and why?

Jahi Taylor

It's National Cat Day, which makes me wonder, either of y'all got pets? Yes, I'm from Texas. Deal with it.
