Great work on the podcast, folks. I'm enjoying it a lot. Only criticism I have: every time Karen says "NOO-monic" instead of "NUH-monic" it makes me cringe. ;)
Definitely one of my favorite episodes, the talk about advertisements had me laughing a ton. Would love another episode about odd/interesting origins for foods, maybe even words?
I download the podcasts and listen to them when I need a laugh. My favorite part is the trivia! I can't wait for the next one! Go brains!
Just found you guys, and I am trying to catch up from the beginning. Because of this, I am not sure if this will be corrected down the road, but one of the mascot names that had in your quiz named Speedy, would also be the mascot for Alka Seltzer. I know that you named Spee-dee the McDonalds mascot, but didn't specify a spelling on this, so I figured that both are quite acceptable answers. Keep up the good work. Love the podcast.
