April Fool’s joke
Nova inferior
Tom:
I must say that I feel you spoke out of turn when saying that any new-fangled Volvo would make an American classic like the Chevy Nova inferior. I'd gladly pit my '71 Chevy Nova versus anything on the road today. The car survived three collisions (people hitting me) from "superior" modern cars that crumpled into an accordion, while my Nova's total damage out of all three collisions was one taillight and two marker lights. The crumpled plastic of those modern cars didn't even make a dent in the steel body of the Chevy Nova. American muscle all the way!
Love the show

So say we all!
I am half a week behind in BOLs, so if this was brought up I apologize
Jason horrified me with his lack of Battlestar knowledge! Dude, where is your nerd cred!?!??!
In honor of the new season starting Friday, I thought it would either be really cool or a colossal waste of time to have citizens of Buzztown send in a MP3 (or whatever format) of them saying “So Say We All”. That way JoMoTo could say it, and all of use could say it back. I will even volunteer to splice them all together and send back a MP3 to play (I’ll set up a Gmail account to set it up). Let me know what you guys think!

Hey Buzz crew,
I haven’t listened to today’s (or yesterday’s, for that matter) podcast, so forgive me if this is a dupe, but I thought you’d enjoy this:

The Ford Maverick was the rockin' sleeper muscle car! I had a '73 Mav with a 302 cu in V-8. I took in on Summer Tour with the Grateful Dead in 1990. My two comrades and I put just over 10,000 miles on that puppy in just under 6 weeks! Math check... The car was already 17 years old when we embarked on this memorable - well, somewhat rememberable - journey!
Im just sayin'....
I had an experience with this when I set up a marketplace account on amazon, which used an automated callback system for some kind of identity verification.

As for listeners in Japan, you have a few.
That's why you see all those late submissions because we listen on podcast from trains and drives into work.
