<div dir="ltr">Yeah, definitely...they make a lot of Twitter (and just 'weird internet' in general) references, and, as you said, they have their own repertoire of jokes and references. I've been a listener for a while, but I can see how it would be hard to orient yourself coming in now. That said, I think they're worth sticking with, even if you have to listen to some earlier material to get your bearings!</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 9, 2017 at 6:50 PM, Chase Carnot <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chase.carnot@gmail.com" target="_blank">chase.carnot@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Glad this came up.
