I played the audio CD of this on a long drive with my grad advisor and another grad student. Both had not heard CRMT ever and were not sure why I was downloading so many episodes. They even made a few comments at first in a not so nice manner. Then, as the show progressed, they started asking "What is going to happen now?" at the breaks. Then, for the rest of the week, my boss kept saying "What we need now is a Chinaman button!" when we talked about politicians he didn't like.

This show even led to a discussion about being a vegetarian or meat eater. Aren't we really all pushing a "Chicken button" or a "Cow button" when we buy a hamburger at a restaurant? I am not saying I am a vegetarian, just that this is one way to interpret it.

Anyway, could someone tell me what Thompson thought he was going to get out of Van Hoss? Was it going to be enough for Thompson to just pull a trick on Van Hoss or not? That is the only part that had me scratching my head.

Otherwise, GREAT episode! Thanks!
