  1. sarcasmic   11 years ago

    Will comments be allowed?

  2. Austrian Anarchy   11 years ago

    You people are still using tape?

    1. sloopyin??   11 years ago

      Tape is cheaper than film.

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH0kOWNtLFo

    2. Army of the 12 Monkeys   11 years ago

      Tape was good enough for Nixon to use, and look how well that worked out for him.

  3. Colonel Slanders   11 years ago

    "Hey Young Humans!"...... Does the headline to this mean that us "older" Reasonoids are not welcome at a taping of The Independents?

    1. sloopyin??   11 years ago

      Who knew Welch was an ageist?

  4. JW   11 years ago

    The Independents: Now Stosselized!

  5. JEP   11 years ago

    It's a trap!

    Seriously, I would love to do it, however I'm in Colorado.

  6. Pl?ya Manhattan.   11 years ago

    Define "recent". I'm a pretty young looking dude. Front row material, really.

    1. sloopyin??   11 years ago

      They're not taping a Springer episode.

      1. Pl?ya Manhattan.   11 years ago

        I can make the Springer episode happen if they have a bar in the lobby.

  7. sarcasmic   11 years ago

    Will Kennedy be naked on the back of a donkey? Because otherwise I'm not interested.

    1. sloopyin??   11 years ago

      Nice ass.

      1. Sevo   11 years ago

        Which one?

        1. Pl?ya Manhattan.   11 years ago

          Sloopy grew up on a farm. Cut him a break.

  8. Tim   11 years ago

    Recent grads can't get time off from Burger King to attend.

  9. Ska   11 years ago

    I would love to attend but recent graduate seems like a real stretch.

  10. Fist of Etiquette   11 years ago

    You know who else stood up in front of throngs of young people?

    1. Hugh Akston   11 years ago

      The Wiggles?

    2. Almanian!   11 years ago

      Buddy Holly?

    3. Tim   11 years ago

      Jerry Sandusky ?

  11. SIV   11 years ago

    Is the show theme #FULLCOMMUNISM ? That seems to be a trend among disillusioned young progs who feel let down by the Hope and Change

    1. BiMonSciFiCon   11 years ago

      I bet the Full Communism guy won't be coming back. TIs weren't as nice (meaning, they actually challenged him, but weren't mean) the last time he was on. He was visibly sweating.

      1. Sevo   11 years ago

        "(meaning, they actually challenged him, but weren't mean)"

        So he still wasn't treated as he should be.

        1. Tejicano   11 years ago

          I hope the only reason for that was because they couldn't, on such short notice, locate the proper equipment in a caliber big enough to be quick and painless but not too big to make a huge mess.

  12. Robert   11 years ago

    Where do they usually originate from?

  13. Almanian!   11 years ago

    Define "young". Oh - "younger than you, Almanian". OK...

    *hangs head*

  14. Army of the 12 Monkeys   11 years ago

    They've pretty much ruled out everyone in the world, except for Cathy Reisenwitz and Julie Borowski. "Special Guest" guesses: Stossel, The Jacket, KMW?

  15. lap83   11 years ago

    Great idea! I've been saving up frequent flyer miles....oh, wait

    1. Pl?ya Manhattan.   11 years ago

      If the 83 in your handle is your birth year, they'll probably turn you away at the door.

      1. jesse.in.mb   11 years ago

        Aren't Millenials early '80s to mid '00s?

        1. lap83   11 years ago

          I think it's to the late 90s, but pretty much. It's odd that people who were old enough to worry about y2k are supposed to be in the same generation as people who didn't know the alphabet yet.

      2. lap83   11 years ago

        Yeah, I look young though. (I know, that's what they all say)

  16. Fist of Etiquette   11 years ago

    It will be a fun show, with many super-secret special guests beloved in the Reason universe.

    Am I one of those guests? Tune in to find out!

    1. Rich   11 years ago

      "WHITE INDIAN! Come on down!"

      1. Fist of Etiquette   11 years ago

        (Gambol on down.)

        1. Rich   11 years ago

          Nice catch.

    2. Ken Shultz   11 years ago

      Not the Weigel.

      Please, God, no! Don't let it be the Weigel!

  17. Ken Shultz   11 years ago

    "Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of goods and services produced across the economy, contracted at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.0% in the first three months of the year, the Commerce Department said Thursday. It was the first time economic output contracted since the first quarter of 2011."

    ----Wall Street Journal

    http://online.wsj.com/articles.....1401366873

    Barack Obama, call your office. You've got some 'splainin to do.

    1. Rich   11 years ago

      I blame the cold winter.

  18. Fist of Etiquette   11 years ago

    I want to go to there.
