Although you guys don't exactly favor the artists I do, (like Wonder Girls) haha, it's still very interesting to hear to what you guys have to offer. BTW, G.O.D. was also under the management of Park Jin Young. And anti-fans are F*ed up. There have also been other worse cases besides the DBSK cyanide (super glue) incident. I think the reason why there are SUPER FANS and ANTI-FANS is because of the fact that they grow so attached to the celebrities because they're constantly promoting and they all appear on t.v. shows and etc. etc. unlike here in America. It's not often you see Justin Timberlake drinking vinegar water while being tickled until you spit it all out. Also, these celebrities are not allowed to date. :( I get really interested when you guys talk about k-pop.

I struggle to keep up, though- why is the show so long? I request shorter shows. Keep up the good work. Joe and Jennifer: love the show, it is my info and entertainment as I go to work and gym.

I was quite skeptical about his plan right out of the chute but they've thought of some highly inventive ideas. The hagwon review system is, well, genius. KOTESOL seems to do pretty well despite the cat like nature of ESL teachers. So I don't see why an advocacy group run by people who seem to be able to route around stuff most of us would just write off as "well, that's just Korea" couldn't get 'er done.

She did her research and she's classic Jennifer: funny, rational, and sarcastic without coming across as a total dick -- a talent no one has ever accused Joe or I of having :) Really good guest this week.

A few notes of clarification. ____Casa del Habano is Cuba's retail cigar outlet not a cigar. There is a CDH in every major non-US city and it is my goal to visit them all. ____Davidoff is a manufacturer of high end tobacco products, mostly cigars, as you have tasted, and not a single cigar in itself. ____My hats soff to John Kim. If you recieved your cigars from CDH then he has sent you some of the best cigars and definately true Cubans. CDH is also one of the only places to sell limited edition regional manufactured cigars. Being this close to and just coming back from Mexico I have seen laughable fakes. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it so much with the Scotch. A great paring. Please shoot me a PO box address to my Facebook account as Mr. Kim has thrown down the gauntlet and I shall respond.____Mr, Kim,__I would gladly purchase some extra regionals on my upcoming trip and happly trade if you are interested. Please either post or let Joe know. ____Jen,__Its easy to send cigars but can you fill us in on the high end yarn world so we can send you something to enjoy. ____a. __ Joe,__Great podcast as always.

Is a static IP that rare in Korea? At least a few of my commenters in Korea appear to have static IP. I'm pretty sure I do too, for reasons related to the goofy online security system on campus here... being Windows-only, and not liking my Linux OS. On the Minerva IP thing… huh?
