The first part was undoubtedly the strongest. This "show" is wonderful bag of surprises.

Awesome, I could listen to Stephen Tobolowsky all-week :)
Please keep the show going!

I would prefer a separate feed though, just for organizing reasons.

I think this was my least favorite episode so far... out of the 4 I've heard. Mainly because I have no real frame of reference for the Davy Crocket thing and you seemed to think the only "Hero" characters we admire nowadays are real life celebrities or something and seemed to kinda be insulting my young generation LOL! I'm 20 years old by the way. Also what was that quote you included?

When men stop believing in God they don't believe in nothing; they believe in anything.
—G. K. Chesterton, 1936

Um... why did you say that? You confused me and I kinda felt a bit insulted as an atheist myself... who certainly isn't destined/doomed to believe in "anything"...

But don't get me wrong, you're EXTREMELY entertaining, love this podcast now. :D I'm going to keep listening to more episodes now, I'm onto episode 4 now, I started with 14 then went to 1, 2, 3, and am on 4 now. I can't stop listening, you're too funny and interesting and entertaining and tell great stories.
