OMG Hugh, I'm so there. The poo story did it. You're OK in my book.

Way back when the world was a good place, there was a guy who could talk faster than the Flash, and he did FedEx commercials. I channeled this guy during the poop and dropped over 5,000 celebrity names during that eleven minute poop. In fact, I only finished pooping when I ran out of names after Clara Peller. And I don't need your vote, I'm losing just fine without you.

Hey Hugh, did you drop any names while you were dropping a deuce in Sarah Michelle Gellar's room? It sounds like it lasted as least 30 minutes, so at your rate of 1 per minute, that's 30 names while talking to yourself between flushes. If you can make it through every episode without a name drop, you'll get my vote.

Hugh ripping on you about how crappy the giveaways are was hilarious! This was the first time I actually laughed out loud on your podcast. Dan, you realize we now expect all of your prize packs to include a PS2 version of a game that came out over a year ago. Weak! It's ok though, I don't care about prize packs. The other random things you mentioned like the Wolverine foam claws sound cooler and more “insider activision” stuff then the games anyway.

This weeks show was so hilarious. Hugh's shitting story was stupid funny. Kat is a fantastic co-host for the show, but Hugh really brings a great taste of dry and dark humor to the show if you know what I mean. ;-)

Keep up the outstanding work on the podcast, Dan! I'm looking to next weeks show and hoping to win myself one of your oh-so-famous Activision prize packs with some PS2 games! *LOL*

Hugh don't feel bad. Not only is Luna Lovegood hot, she's legal. Added bonus: A simple google image search will provide all the proof you need that she is all woman. Good day sir.

That shitting story by Hugh really humanized him.

Congratulations for this podcast! I believe you've really nailed it adding the interview with the Customer Care folks. This has gave the tone on what your podcast should be. I hope you can add more interesting interview with people that work at Activision, and maybe you should consider the lawyer or the PR guys :) . About the co-host, I believe you've already fired Hugh after he's mock on you about PS2 games giveaway :). That was really funny.

BTW, you could post a photo of one of these “fun packs” you're giving away.

This show had me rolling. I was sold on Kat being the co-host, but Hugh changed my mind. He was much funnier this time. I did like the banter between you and Kat though. It was a nice change of pace to hear from a woman's point of view. Keep up the great work, Dan.

Hey, me and my PS2 game could totally kick the crap outta Hugh and his gun-in-a-knife-fight!

Also, this was an absolutely hilarious episode. Much love. <3

Amber's completely right, the worst person online be it twitter or e-mail or chat, can never compare to the worst person on the phone.

I work in tech support in the healthcare industry. All of our callers are supposed to be internal (read: other employees.) When I started this job I thought that would take the nightmare out of customer service, I was wrong, very very wrong. There are still callers that treat us like lesser life-forms over the phone. Recently we started promoting that we can support via email, and its so much easier to just answer e-mails than to talk to someone on the phone, even though it’s the same questions. I've never been brought to tears by an e-mail…

This one was actually really hilarious, Dan. I wasn't entirely sold on Hugh after episode 1, but apparently all the jitters are gone, because this one was on fire. Loved the show, maybe the best yet.
