    I laughed so hard I made myself dizzy. Why are garbled words so funny? And why is it that the funniest moments in this (to me) are when he STOPS talking and looks expectantly at the viewer?

    “teats slip temperance and …” LMAO!

    PS: Did you know this podcast was posted on YouTube?

    Oh, and as a followup — that little bit where he says “e=3r…. I’ll say that again…” is just too wicked. and if he’d then said, “And I leave the derivation of that as an exercise for the student…” I would not have regained my sanity for at least two days! ;)

    ;)
