Maaaaaan, Benoit Blanc gets it done, even when I doubt the actor playing him... The first film is a classic, so the bar was set very high here. The only mystery other than the obvious in the premise is why it's taken me so long to see this. Enjoy, people.

Veel plezier.

Maaaaaan... this is a tough situation. Was it really consensual if he's getting suspended for the whole season?

Je rencontre mon gérant. Je fais face à plusieurs preuves de respect. J’use le concept de publicité encore une fois à votre plus grand plaisir, mais c’est vite dit et fallait être là. Parlant de fallait être là, c’est que des insides ste podcast là. Justement le boutte où je dis demain mange un buritos à mayo. C’est vraiment incompréhensible si t’étais pas là hier. En plus, j’ai ajouté des insides de ma gang avec qui je joue à among us. Fek si t’es pas dedans, tu n’as aucune indice d’où viennent les blagues. C’est une bonne façon de m’exporter à l’international ça. Hey Jasmine m’a battu aux échecs, mais je l’ai rebattu plusieurs d’affilée par la suite. Écoutez-vous big brother célébrité? Moi je crois que c’est Marie Mai qui pars cette semaine. Cette blague va probablement autant bien vieillir qu’un blackface dans Lance et Comptes. C’est la description la plus longue à date. Je vais peut-être essayer de battre mon record dans le futur. Mais comme je suis un gars de peu de mots et d’efforts dans la vie, sûrement que ça va en rester là. L’invité en réalité c’est Mael. C’est pas mon gérant; j’ai pas de gérant lol. J’ai pas de carrière OMEGALUL. Mael qui a passé à Radio-Can. Mes félicitations les plus sincères dans une description d’épisode beaucoup trop longue que personne ne lit jamais! Y’a probablement beaucoup de fautes dans ce texte parce que j’écris rapidement tantôt on vas au mcdo avec Xavier. Je comprend pas pourquoi je peux réellement écrire une description de 3500 caractères . Pour vrai c’est possible. C’est ridicule. Je vais profiter que ce message ne seras sûrement pas lu (tout court) pour vous dire merci de me supporter. On a tous besoin de support dans la vie... MAIS POUR ACCROCHER NOTRE LINGE LOL. Ahahahahahhaahahahahah MAN! Wow. On a pas vu venir ste joke là. Bin on la vu venir si on a tout de suite spotter le gros texte en majuscule avant de lire la prémise de la joke. Maaaaaaaaaaan! Wow. Tu devrais aller à l’école des clowns bro. Maaaaan! On a tous besoin de support pour notre linge hahahahah t’es une machine maaan. J’veux dire groooooos. T’es tellement pissant j’en revient pas. Genre limite tu touche le ciel quand tu fais des jokes. Limite tu me fais autant rire que Peter Mcload. J’me suis inscrit à son concours de Wadaroo trail. J’ai pas gagné. J’aurais voulu. Maaaaaan!

Welcome to another episode of the Bowie Book Club* where wild speculation and grasping for straws about Bowie’s favorite books has reigned supreme since 2016. This time we read A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn, who's not really down with the SYSTEM, MAAAAAAN.

Who's ready to party like it's 1991? Welcome, friends to the first spinoff program to X-Lapsed - Major X-Lapsed!  That's right, today we're going to be covering the somewhat divisive little ditty from the somewhat divisive Rob Liefeld.  I'll probably be doing one of these a week for the next several.  If you're expecting this to be a half-hour of me bashing this first issue of Major X... well, you're probably going to be a little bit disappointed. As someone who came into the comics fandom in the early nineties... this comic is more comfort food to me than anything.  "Popcorn Comics", which is sometimes exactly what the doctor ordered... -- Chris' "Rob Leefield, Maaaaaan" story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce_D4F4m4cc -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen x-lapsed.tumblr.com/

Maaaaaan injuries huh? They really be the b-word. Survivor week 2 in the books....who came out on top? Which coaches do we think are in a bit of strife? Hint......Gase!

Maaaaaan, this was like a dream to see unfold... I never thought I'd see the day when all the development hell would cease, and this sequel would see the light of day. But my prayers were answered, and I'm still a bit in disbelief. The Bad Boys are back nonetheless! This would have been an easy thing to screw up. But I have more than enough to say about it. Enjoy, y'all.

Maaaaaan you just gotta give this one a listen! 4 different calls, 4 different hopeless romantics. Give this a listen or two!!!

Maaaaaan, EJ and Brandon hold this episode down!  We talkin' nerd shit and readin' some emails, thanks Samelliotts!

Maaaaaan, let me tel you why I do not do big dogs. It's not that I don't like them, but the way I grew up, It was a huge no for me. I also found out what type of neighbor I am. Listen now to find out, I'm pretty sure we might be the same.

Maaaaaan...! Too tired but it was now or never. The show had to be done, and done it became (?)! Tonight B.L. is walking you through three quite shitty production jobs in their own way, bonehead death/black metal, celebrity death metal and some swedo sludge as icing on the cake.

When this topic came to mind it was big - "How to look for your next career opportunity". That's significant, no? BIG! Huge. Maaaaaan... I realised I could talk about this topic forever and a day. However, as the busy (working) parent you are you don't have forever and a day so instead of sharing all my thoughts on the subject, I chose 3 things to share and I'm pretty sure this topic will come up again so we can talk about many more methods then. For now though - here's a starter for 3. As ever, if you are enjoying these episodes of the Creative Career Solutions for Parents podcast, do please feel free to take 2 minutes to leave a review on iTunes (which will help other working parents find this podcast). Thank you.

Maaaaaan hosternokke, veel te lang geleden natuurlijk. Net een weekje terug van een megavette #MANSKI in Gerlos en gisteren één en al feest in Oosterhout ...

The names of professional sports teams often have surprising histories -- like the baseball team name inspired by, of all things, trolley-car accidents. Plus, some questions to debate at your next barbecue: Is a hot dog a sandwich if it's in a bun? And when exactly does dusk or dawn begin? Dictionary editors wrestle with such questions all the time, and it turns out that writing a definition is a lot harder than you think. Finally, a new word for your John Hancock: When you use your finger to sign an iPad, what do you call that electronic scribble? Plus, hang a Roscoe, Peck's Bad Boy, coming down the pike, sozzling, stroppy, grammagrams, and umbers. FULL DETAILS Try this riddle: You throw away the outside and cook the inside, then eat the outside and throw away the inside. What is it?   A caller from Los Angeles, California, wonders why we say hang a Roscoe for "turn right" when giving directions. This phrase, as well as hang a Louie, meaning "turn left," go back at least as far as the 1960's. These expressions are much like the military practice of using proper names for directional phrases in order to maintain clarity. Some people substitute the word bang for  hang, as in bang a Uey (or U-ee) for "make a U-turn." The phrase coming down the pike refers to something approaching or otherwise in the works. The original idea had to do with literally coming down a turnpike. In the late 19th century, Wisconsin newspaperman George Wilbur Peck wrote a series of columns about a fictional boy who was the personification of mischief. The popular character inspired stage and movie adaptations, and the term Peck's Bad Boy came to refer to someone similarly incorrigible. Quiz Guy John Chaneski tees up a trivia quiz about how sports teams got their names. For example, are the Cleveland Browns so named because one of their founders was named Paul Brown, or because of the orange-brown clay on the banks of the Cuyahoga River? A listener in Bayfield, Wisconsin, says her grandmother used to tell her to go sozzle in the bathtub. John Russell Bartlett's 1848 Dictionary of Americanisms defines the verb to sozzle this way: "to loll; to lounge; to go lazily or sluttishly about the house." A professional shoemaker in Columbiana, Ohio, wonders why the words cobbler and cobble have negative connotations, given that shoemaking is a highly skilled trade. The notion of cobbling something together in a haphazard or half-hearted way goes back to the days when a cobbler's task was more focused on mending shoes, rather than making them. But Grant quotes a passage from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar in which such a tradesman articulates the nobility of his profession: I am, indeed, sir, a surgeon to old shoes; when they are in great danger, I recover them. As proper men as ever trod upon neat's leather have gone upon my handiwork. The slang term stroppy is an adjective meaning "annoying" or "difficult to deal with." It might be related to the similarly unpleasant word, obstreperous. If you simply read each letter aloud, you can see why O.U.Q.T.! U.R.A.B.U.T.! can be interpreted to mean "Oh, you cutie! You are a beauty!" A statement expressed that way with letters, numerals, or drawings is called a rebus, or, if it's solely expressed with letters and numerals, a grammagram. Great examples include the F.U.N.E.X.? ("Have you any eggs?") gag by the British comedy duo The Two Ronnies, and William Steig's book CDC? A door divided across the middle so that the bottom half stays closed while the top half opens is known as a Dutch door, a stable door, or a half-door. Some people informally call it a Mr. Ed door, named after a TV series popular in the 1960's about a talking horse named Mr. Ed who frequently stood behind such a door. Is a hot dog a sandwich if it's in a bun? Why or why not? Is a burrito a sandwich? (A Massachusetts judge actually ruled on that question in 2006.) What about a veggie wrap? These kinds of questions about the limits and core meanings of various words are more complicated that you might think. Lexicographers try to tease out the answers when writing dictionary entries. Some people are using the word fingature to mean that scribble you do on an electronic pad when asked to sign for a credit card payment. A woman who grew up in Albuquerque recalls that when one of her schoolmates got in trouble, she and their peers would say ominously, Umbers! This slang term is apparently a hyperlocal version of similarly elongated exclamations like Maaaaaan! Or Burrrrrn! that youngsters use to call attention to another's faux pas. An Indianapolis, Indiana, listener says that his mother-in-law was asked by a child where she was going, would jokingly sing that she was going to the Turkey trot trot trot, across the lot, lot, lot, feeling fine, fine, fine until Thanksgiving time. Trouble. Trouble trouble. Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble on the double. Sounds like she was singing a version of the Turkey Trot Blues.   This episode is hosted by Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett. -- A Way with Words is funded by its listeners: http://waywordradio.org/donate Get your language question answered on the air!
