Oh, so they now go video?

Luckily, it's time slot doesn't conflict with any of my other DVR'd shows. I'm pretty excited for NdT, as if he needs more accolades under his belt.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

That's what DVRs are for.

Hope it'll make it to hulu or netflix.  I don't have cable. Sad

Excited for this. I might actually watch this rather than TDS live tonight. Of course then I'll watch TDS at 10:30.

Has anybody been watching this? It's pretty entertaining... and not even only in a nerding out way. The format is a little wonky, but I think I could get use to it. It's his same web series format, but it translates oddly to TV.

On the last episode, he touched a little bit on religion, and how people jump down his throat when he mentions it, but next week he's having Richard Dawkins on (and by on, I mean a prerecorded interview that he'll discuss with two other people).

Wow. You guys watch a lot more TV than me.

I've been watching.

It doesn't hold my attention. I have been listening to the StarTalk podcast for a while, and he seems to reuse a lot of that material.

I'll be interesting to see Dawkins next week, though.
