Love and Death (of Phil Hartman) (Episode 19)
September 25, 2008 · Posted in Podcast
The PiPers are joined by Lainie (Evan’s wife) as they retell their adventures at pub trivia and with bad service. Also in this episode they geek out over the Roller Derby team the Windy City Rollers, give the great Phil Hartman the most pathetic tribute ever, and debate whether or not Dustin’s soul mate is somewhere in Russia unbeknownst to him . All this– plus they continue the tournament of swear words as Evan uses most of them on Dustin when he calls him the worst podcast host ever.

That was creepy. I was listening to Josh Ritter right before I started listening to this and then a Josh Ritter song played after the Tournament of the Century segment. I thought maybe I had accidentally unpaused my iTunes. Get out of my head!
Apparently Lainie, Evan’s wife (soon to be Dustin’s wife) Lainie, has the mouth of a sailor. Swear words do sound so much harsher coming from her but I think they do coming from women in general. I do love Lainie though but I now have two people to fight for her hand and I am not a C-list celebrity…
My problem with the f-word is that it is so overused and misused that it feels like the meaning has been stripped from it and the only reason it packs any punch is because of the intent behind its usage. That intent could really be applied to any word though and the f-word would fade from our collective swear vocabulary. Jism is nasty but I am not sure it is a swear word per se; it is just a gross sounding word for something else. That being said, I voted for jism because I like to cheer for the underdog. Go jism!
FYI, the “seas” on the moon are only called “seas” because early astronomers mistook them for actual seas. They are actually large basaltic plains formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. Silly early astronomers. Therefore I think they should have accepted Evan’s answer as well.
Thanks for the mention! It is always strange to hear my name mentioned in a podcast but I am glad you guys take time to pay tribute to your more vocal listeners.
Oh, this comment is terribly long already but Evan’s rant about not tipping sounds like Buscemi’s from Reservoir Dogs. Dustin should have gone into a “Like a Virgin” rant like Tarantino.
