Peter Sagal, PFT, and Open Mike... a public radio listener's dream

[@thymusictoo364]

I loved Wits and it’s so nice to see the folks who performed on it. (especially eps with Open Mike Eagle and Paul F Tompkins)

[@christopherbrown7230]

Having lost stoned to “wait wait don’t tell me” for years….. Peter does not look like what I thought he would

[@jasonarons8637]

wow, that is not how I imagined Peter Sagal to look

[@icetech6]

god.. how did i never see WITS before.... i wonder why they stopped making them

[@snes.chalmers11-29]

I miss Wits, wish it didn't got cancelled

[@Robo983]

The job market for adventuring is just awful. No matter where you go, it's flooded with foreigners.

[@SortOfEggish]

Soooooo, would you rather? With Hot Soccermom?

[@Dazen101]

I'm sorry. But, the floor was not open for questions. I'm going to have to deduct 500 points.

[@maryrosekent8223]

That was truly odd.

[@Marialla.]

Spoiler With the last question my instant and obvious answer was Computer Science. DUH! It's a real thing. It's fun. It's useful and could make you lots of money and NOT get your head eaten off by a crocodile. And honestly the world can live without one more roller coaster designer. I was floored when all the men instantly and obviously chose adventurer. Was this because they are men? Was it because they are comedians? They seemed awfully sincere and unified on this. Any discussion?

[@jakemonkey7]

Marialla as a person who briefly studied computer science I'd rather have learned professional adventuring. It might be because I'm a man but to me it would be a vastly more enjoyable and interesting major. Also coding (while not impossible) is a pain and you need to spend a great deal of time learning each language before you become proficient at the generalized notion of programming.

[@SchulzEricT]

Their chosen profession was making people laugh. Clearly they aren't going practical, they are going with something that will not feel like a job. The *practical* answer was computer science, but your job shouldn't feel like work. For most of us unfortunately it does, but they clearly illustrate the ability to not fall into that trap.

[@Dayglodaydreams]

They are 2 comedians, and a (somewhat eccentric) hip hop artist. They will go with the most ludicrous answer, because thinking ludicrously is their jobs.

[@Marialla.]

@@Dayglodaydreams So you think they chose that answer NOT because they sincerely believed it but to be funny? Because they didn't look to me like they were joking.

[@JonnyBriers]

@@Marialla. You're telling me you'd rather do some coding than go on an adventure?
