just so you know, as the dude in like half of the winning high-five photos, I am not Toni's boyfriend who she managed to rope in. I am Toni's friend who was an equal partner in this endeavor. On a side note, we failed to rope in Toni's boyfriend, who is perhaps, un-rope-in-able. Also in the interest of full credit, shots go out to Chris Doan, and Christina Maxwell. Anyway, I can't wait to be wearing my TSOYA t-shirt, thanks for having such an awesome contest, and I guess it doesn't really matter how much credit I get, because the real reward was just to get so many high-fives.

Bucky's poem was really really really cool. Im thinking about showing that to my english class (we're studying "contemporary poems").

On the large "box trucks": Here in Columbus, Ohio, I have seen these types of trucks but they normally arent filled with boxes but with alot of junk that they trashed picked up from curbs.

Finally, as an "impressionable teen", I don't think what you guys talked about was extreme or corruptfull. I have definitely heard worse at my own high school.

Loved the episode, Love the Podcast, keep up the good work.

Man, I loved this episode.
Honest guys, I'm cool with what you talk about on the show. Is Ashley on the forums? I'd be more concerned about her.
Just so you know, I go to a Jewish private school, but I guess I'm sheltered enough to pass for an arts student.
Bucky's poem was crazy.

yeah, bucky's take on batman was really something. a surprisingly great ending. and it makes a lot of sense, because bucky sinister sounds like a name for a batman villain.

also, who's up for a cardboard fort party? I can't be the only one.

I'd be concerned for me because I have a little crush on little Aaron. He is 6 years younger than me. But a Canadian Jew who likes to dance and draw....2 kewt 4 wurdz! That's what I'd write on my notebook, you see.

AWWWWW. I'm totally blushing through the computer screen right now.
Age ain't nuthin' but a number, baby.
Ahem. Sorry about that.

I don't have much in the way of responses to action items, but I would like say that I find your concern over the affect you have on 17 year old listeners to be very interesting, chiefly because any 17 year old who would go to a comedy podcast for guidance might need to be guided away from the computer. If I remember my days as a seventeen year old (which were only a few years ago) my chief concerns were to avoid extensive public embarrassment, achieve extremely moderate academic success, and determine the nature of reality (this is not a joke, I had to give a speech about my personal philosophical views, and this question was featured heavily). So, my advice to Aaron, and the others, would be avoid dancing on tables until you have your routine down, and from what I've seen, you already got that down.

I also want to go on record as stating that Bucky's poem was more heartbreakingly sad then a poem about Batman has a right to be.

Hey, thanks. That's oddly poetic in its own way too.

Cool things about growing up in Houston (while establishing the fact that my childhood is missing many of the basic components of what people would call a childhood):

- Great local hip-hop scene, which is great for a young kid that likes rap.
- Ridiculously diverse, in a way that few cities not as gigantic as Houston are. I met all kinds of people I'd never met before groing up in primarily Black and Mexican neighborhoods when I went to UH-Downtown.
- Great churches. Hey, if you want to get bamboozled by religion, this is the place.
- Hakeem Olajuwon. Few kids are just given superheroes on a platter like this, but I was 6 and 7 and he was winning my team titles.
- Diverse as a city. The city's so sprawling and gigantic (population as well as actual land coverage), there are so many fucking parts to it. Like I've been alive 18 years and haven't seen half the shit in it.
- Pretty downtown. It's quite pretty.
- One of like two places in Texas that you can be from and not have everyone assume you are a bumbling fool.

How about posting pix of every in-studio guest?

Also: isn't it Beer Cozy? Not Koozie? Like a Toaster Cozy or a Tea Cozy. Or is that part of a jokey way of saying it?

They told me it was koozie. Which was why it's so WEIRD.

Jesse, I know you read Ask Metaflter, so you may have seen this already, but everyone else should check out this great AskMe on the "porn in the woods" phenomenon.

The following sayings appeared on koozies owned by my friends father, circa 1990:
A penny for your thoughts, twenty dollars to act them out.
Too much of a good thing IS GREAT!

beer koozies in bars is something I can't stand behind. However, I have never seen it and have been to many hipster and non-hipster bars in Brooklyn and Manhattan.

I always thought part of the appeal of the koozie was that it makes it harder to knock over your beer. You would use it in a bbq setting where its both warm and footballs or frisbees are flying around.
