Not only that, I stalked Brett, tried to connect through Facebook, and was turned down!

Seriously, thanks for the great videos. I’ll enjoy many hours getting familiar with your work.

I don’t totally know what the financial difficulty is, other than the economy is bad, you’re both self employed, and this means that you really need to bust your humps to make ends meet till things improve. Leaving little to know time to do research for the show.

How’s this for a proposal? I would like to offer up my services, as staff researcher. I will gather information for you, free of charge for you to put together the shows with. I’ll even help write the scripts, if I can, though, I think you guys are far more amusing than I am. You guys pick the topic, and I’ll dig for info on it, and submit it to you, so that part of the work, is already done. Then, all you would have to do, is work out the script, and record it. You could easily do this in the evenings, for a once a week, or possibly even biweekly show, allowing you all the time you need to go out, and earn cash to take care of your families.

If you’re interested, please let me know, and fill me in on your sources for data, and what your process is, so I can do things, the way you like to have them done.

I eagerly await your response.

Thanks for your consideration,

(I went to the ‘gifted’ high-school…I’m familiar with being excluded from exclusive-social clubs…I did academic decathalon and chess- when others picked cheerleading.)

oh, but you’re on the internet?
Yeah, 22 IS NOT FB, but it is STILL an exclusive-social club. (Relatives don’t make the cut? So high-school.)

I won’t quit smoking for you.
I work in an Electophysiolgy and Cardiac Cath Lab.

I STILL smoke.

It’s because, I see what we in healthcare do to people who outlive their expiration date.
I don’t want to be 90…tied down, and taped to a table, so a diagnostic procedure can teach a resident how to perform a Cath…
I don’t want abuse, neglect and bedsores from an uneducated/uncaring $7/hr nursing homestaff for my sunset years.

I’m hoping for eye-candy that will bring me drinks and light my cigs whilst I bake in my yummy warm Arizona sun.

I’ve seen alot of the shows…NOT all. (See- disqualified.)

Have you covered the question of quality vs. quantity of life?

It is something we will ALL have to think about when socialized medicine becomes our reality.

I tell people about you.
I send links.
I argue with ‘computer-boyfriends’ about your appeal.
(there is ANOTHER subject- computer dating.)

I’ll write Glenn Beck for ya- but I’d perfer you as a subversive on Colbert.

Go ahead…reject me.
Besides, I’m bad at the hand-bump/secret hand shakes…
Hope the best, for you and yours.

(How can the name of the ‘Secret Society’ remain the same ([22]) if that stands for the 22 members inside. Now, we know for sure that the secret society has at least 24 members. The 22 original, the extra mentioned above, and then the 23rd would go back to the guy who said he would stop smoking :]

It’s sort of hard to explain without using examples, but basically you add the next odd number to the last outcome of the square.

That may sound confusing, but think of it this way:

Zero squared is zero, right?
And one squared is one.
To get to one from zero, you add one.
Now, two squared is four.
To get to four from one you add three.

No matter how far you go, this will always work.

Not that this will ever really help you on any math tests, but it’s still an interesting tidbit to know.

those little plastic/rubber bracelets – WW[WYOTK]DO?

Thanks for everything! You guys rock! (Me paper – so I win? No, you Winn.)

p.s. My favorite little bracelet like those I ever saw was one that said “Trend whore” on it! Hilarious!

It was a great Christmas this year.

thanks

ps. I love your shows.. i watch them on the bus to school and they put me in a good mood. Plus i learnt sooo much which i can neatly fit into conversation to make me look smart. Thank you very much. :)

Okay, so here’s the deal. I have spent the fortnight or so watching every episode of your show. It’s amazing, I love it. I’ve posted it all over MySpace, Facebook, and even LiveJournal. The second I saw the episode where your audience was supposed to email you about how much they loved the show, I was so excited to do it. However, my boyfriend was there and he is kinda lame and he wanted to not sit around waiting for me to send emails. Whatever. Anyway, I have amazing ideas about how I can get in to this secret [22] business. One being that my aforementioned lame boyfriend is from San Diego too, so the next time we go down there (I live in Berkeley), I would love to come visit your studio and admit you into MY secret club. It’s called The Atlantis Society and it’s an organization dedicated to those with a common interest in adventure, secrets, legend, treasure, exploration, invention, the ocean, our world, and other worlds. Pretty cool, right? I bet you want to join. Technically there’s nothing to it right now, but I’ve just started working on it and it is fine gentlemen such as yourselves that are the ideal candidates for such a membership! Benefits include… being my friend… and possibly reaping the rewards of sponsorship should I ever become wealthy and/or do something with my life (other than watching enlightening internet shows).

The second idea I had is that my best friend’s father has a plane, so if we decided to fly down to San Diego, he would probably be willing to show you the plane and maybe even take you up as a copilot. Hell, he did it for me, and I have no idea how to fly whatsoever. It was a great experience. We flew over Gilroy, saw a whale expelling water from its blowhole around the Santa Cruz boardwalk, and we landed in the Monterey Peninsula Airport to go to the aquarium. It was excellent. I need only to enlighten him of the good you’re doing for intellectual kind. And beg. And plead. I will make it happen though, guys. It’s how I do. Let me know if you’re interested.

P.S. I really, really love what you guys are doing with this show. It’s inspiring. I’m totally not trying to suck up either, I swear to god. Unless you want me to suck up… I can do that too.

I want to help. You all are awesome.

……Because I want to help. Do I get more than one shot at an answer that will satisfy? lol

and were back..
anyway i just watched every single vid on this site, gotta say, loved em, even the ones where you made my brain hurt, and, it doesnt take a lot to do that! :D erm, wait, umm, yeah lol :D

keep up the good work guys, you should make some desktop images, backgrouns, wallpaper, whatever it is you call it, cos, theres so many ways, maybe you could make one to force everyone into conformity on the nameing scheme, i call em wallpapers, not sure why, anyway, pics of you and a blacked out camera guy would be cool, with some of the quotes you use on your t-shirts

umm, there was another tangent there, umm, i’ll go now, keep up the good work :D

Spug
from the UK (btw kudos on the scottish accent, better than gibsons lol at least you dont sound australian..)

HA!

And if the above doesn’t work… I’ll just have to go and ask Bill Taylor something incriminating about you two (camera guy included) that only you two will know… am I “blackmailing” you… yep…
