    Hopefully the Dan who just realized he has to pay taxes on the monetary value of his "free" Taco Bell wedding remembers to factor the IRS into his inevitable lottery win.

    Well, I had this on the back burner but now I am dropping everything to watch it immediately. Thank you citizen, for your good contribution.

    You really have to watch this at least five times focusing on a different member of the crew each time. Brad's refusal to believe that Dan had actually said it at first is phenomenal. Jeff trying to figure out if it's a bit for like five seconds. Ben instantly looking for validation from the rest of the group. Vinny at war within himself between incredulity and the urge born of weekly podcasts with Dan to just get past it as fast as possible. Alex being bewildered, caught halfway into his own bit about reporting the losses in dollars.

    This ranks with Chris With The White car in the pantheon.

    Dan trying to cook egg shells to make a egg white omelette, and calling his mom to ask why it wasnt working is still pretty much unbeatable imo. You cant even write something like that. It would just fall flat, as being too absurd.

    I Feel like I'm tattling, but in the first 10 minutes of his Panning the Stream podcast:

    "I didn't know you were supposed to wash hoodies."

    (on Neutering) "I thought they cut the penis off."

    (on Court Cases, i.e. "State of New York vs. Dan Ryckert") "I didn't know the prosecution worked for the government."

    "Genjo" - How he thinks Shinji's dad's name is pronounced in Eva.

    It really irks me since he clearly knows how to say Nintendo. I dont know how changing the letter before Endo somehow changes the sound of the D.

    100%. As another member from the Arrow Pointing Down days, I think Dan is fantastic and has contributed some of my favourite moments to GB. Dan is Dan but he also plays it up a bit. He has plenty of serious contributions as well.

    Dan is a cool smart guy but is also playing to his gimmick. Now I'm not saying at home he is 100% different than the Dan on Camera, but he isn't as extreme as that I'm sure when walking his dog or frying eggshells with plastic knives.

    The same way I don't expect Jeff to be yelling at home the same was he would in the studio, or how any of us are at our jobs versus our home.

    Anyone who thinks Dan is exceptional when it comes to questions and knowledge of some subjects in the world should spend some time in adult education. Dan questions until the cows come home. Man, I had someone think eggs were dairy because the egg whites were "just rubbery milk". Thing is, once I told them what it was, they then just said they were right, rubbery milk to feed baby chickens in the egg. After that I just stopped getting bothered by these sorts of things.

    I thought it was hilarious that despite people in the office asking them about it, Dan was just as loud during Episode 2 of Burgle My Bananas :P.
    Do you think it's possible they could get moved to a proper studio because of Dan? (i'm half joking)
