    Could you please post sexier pics of Stef on the website? I'm tired of having to go to Starbucks every time I wanna masturbate.

    Confucius say: If man tell Jimmy Dore he no like political comedy, man is most likely just a dick-head troll.

    First off, love the podcast. I listen to it all the time. Wanted to start off nice before I said that Jimmy was way off about the registration of sex offenders. In many cases people charged with the most minor of offenses are forced to register as a sex offender as part of their plea bargain. I am not defending serious sex offenders by any means this is just small example of a larger issue in our justice system. People are threatened with a severe and maximum punishment if they choose to take your case to trial. In some cases they are even threatened by the judge. Prosecutors use this fact and will tack on frivolous charges to scare people who can't afford a private attorney or who are poorly educated into accepting pleas when they don't take into account the social and economical ramifications. Plea bargaining is just another practice of a government institution that favors the rich.

    Suzy is full of shit. I am a CFP and in our business she is a joke. For example, pay your credit card debt off, just keep a small balance if you are worried about them closing it. If you have emergency savings, pay off as much as you can, paying the min just racks up debt. Her advice will put you in worse debt.

    Hey Jimmy, get caught peeing in public. Get an indecent exposure charge and then we can all see where you live on the sex offender website. Its no joke.

    In response to the complaint about the complaint from Zach, I think if those extra six dollars or so went towards the coffee farmers it wouldn't be as big of a problem. I personally would feel good paying more if I knew it would benefit the farmers and lower-rung workers. However, that's not the case. Isn't it even more infuriating that they charge such an exorbitant amount and still have the balls to shit on the people making their business possible on the ground level? For me, the plight of the farmers (which is disgusting and wrong, no one's disputing that) makes the complaint about the ridiculous price even more valid.

    I am a subscriber to several comedy pod casts and yours is BY FAR my favorite. The improvisational style of Todd and Jimmy is beautifully augmented by the ever witty Stef who, when given a chance to get a word in, is brilliant and hilarious. I wish I had a teacher half as entertaining as her when I was in school.

    Todd and Jimmy your stories of life on the road are my favorite part of the show. I'm a stand up junky and can't get enough of it!

    The fact that I do not agree with every political opinion is overshadowed by the fact that your opinions are supported on rational reasoning and not purely on emotion or conformity to an ideology or belief system.

    Jimmy and Todd: I would be curious to hear how you both became atheists (For me it took two years of bible school =).

    Keep up the great work guys!

    I am shocked that this podcast is not rated #1 in the comedy category.

    In closing, a few ideas...

    What about having a simple "newsletter" type email that would have the topic of the show, a link to your website, and the show dates of Jimmy and Todd? It is both free marketing and a good way to pass the news on to friends about your podcast.

    Also...
    It might be a good idea to have a PAYPAL tip jar on your website for people like me who would like to show our appreciation for the show in a more tangible way.

    @Paul

    Hi Paul, I'm Doug- the guy mentioned in a previous episode working on the new website for Comedy and Everything Else. A Dates/shows page is definitely in the works as well as plans for donations/cool membership perks. Exciting things are ahead.

    To see where things are, you might want to check out http://www.comedyandeverythingelse.net (.net not the .com which is for the live site). Keep in mind that because a lot of things are in flux, the .net site might look terrible or not work at any given moment. When things are more concrete I'll be able to show more of the functionality.
