Behind the scenes of Clearly, You’re Retarded

by Miss Britt on September 3, 2008

If you pay attention to the weekly self promotion on this site, you know that Avitable and I do an Internet radio show each week.

It’s basically a debate format. We pick a topic that we disagree on, state our positions and proceed to rip each other to shreds. Respectfully.

The only difference between us and the nationally televised debates you’ll see between the political candidates over the next few months is that Avitable is my boss.

Oh, and we occasionally swear. If the situation warrants it. Or he really pushes me too far.

And I sometimes find I am unable to hide my dismay at what a freaking MORON he is. But in my defense, it is SHOCKING the levels of stupidity he can sink to for the sake of entertainment.

Of course, you already know all this if you’ve tuned in before or have downloaded past shows to listen to while you mow the lawn or drive to work.

What you don’t know, even if you have been listening, is:

  1. How I haven’t gotten fired from my job
  2. How I haven’t resigned from my job yet (although I came awfully close to quitting On Air on July 30th)
  3. That Adam calls me right after the show and KISSES MY ASS.
  4. That part of that ASS KISSING involves things like “you are so smart!” and “you did so good!” and “it’s so hard sometimes not to just break down and admit that you’re right when you make such awesome points.”

I hope knowing the inside scoop doesn’t interfere with your ability to enjoy the show!

Tonight we’ll be talking about Human Cloning. One of us thinks it’s a BAAAAAD idea, and one of us doesn’t give a rat’s ass about things like ethics and morality.

You can log in and listen to the call live and follow along with the chat (my husband has made an appearance the last few weeks!) by visiting the Clearly You’re Retarded show page at 9pm EST.

Or you can -

no. Wait. There’s no alternative. LOG IN AND LISTEN!

    I know I’ve told you that you need to brush up on your vocabulary, but “kissing ass” is not what that’s called when I call and say “Britt, it’s okay that you totally got your ass kicked on air and in the chatroom, and I know most people thought you were retarded, but I still respect and love you as a human being. Please stop crying.”

    See – I almost didn’t listen tonight because i thought, well, there’s no mystery now!
    But luckily Adam came and gave an exact opposite depiction of the after show.
    Phew!
    (In other words – I’ll be there!)

    Maybe you should change the name of the show to Clearly, You’re Delusional.

    I only support cloning if it’s so I can have a perfectly matched organ donor and live forever. Otherwise I think it’s morally wrong and creepy.

    Um, so which side of the cloning debate are you on? ;)

    Also, if you’ve got really bad hearing, you may not know that behind the scenes, Britt pees on live internet radio. She also flushes and (thankfully) washes her hands.

    See? Intelligent people can passionately disagree and still remain friends.

    Gosh – is that so hard? You and I did it for years!

    Love you!

    I really need to download a few shows.

    The good news is that there are probably hundreds if not thousands of things you two disagree on.

    I’m with Dave. It’s all about cloning my parts for emergency transplants so that I can live to be 500. Or until I unlock the mysteries of the unified field theory. Then me and the Heather clones can kick it.

    Yeah, it does kinda take a little bit away. I was always kinda hoping you’d stop doing the show remotely and we’d hear you attack him on air.

    BTW, you were right. I just listened to last week’s show on my iPod even though I was listening live. It’s a totally different experience. You miss out on a lot when you’re typing in the forum.

    I thought they already had cloning down. Didn’t they clone Jesus, MLK and the Hope Fairy to make Obama?

    I am enjoying the shows. I agree with Dave in that I also have a moral opposition to cloning. You and Hilly presented some very pertinent points. That you and Adam can discuss things so passionately without any hard feelings afterwards is admirable. Many people fall out under similar circumstances. Good on you.

    Speaking as teacher and as mother of a disabled child, I am offended by your use of the word “retarded.” A person who is truly retarded, or developmentally disabled, has a very tough go of it in our world. Using this term as an insult is akin to using racial epithets to put someone down. Please reconsider the name of your show. I’m sure there are many other ways to express yourselves without knocking an entire population of disabled people.

    Daisy, you should listen to the first edition of the show. We discussed this topic specifically.
