Message: Hey Assholes!!
I can't believe it's been 100 episodes already (not counting the Secret episodes.) Seriously, how the hell has this shit been going on so long? More importantly, why do I love it so much? My boyfriend and I have been pleasured by you all for so long that we felt like we at least should have wined and dined you by now. Well, you can feed your own damn selves, but please enjoy booze of your choice from BrewTopia, courtesy of us!  We paid for a gift card over the phone, and I put it under the name "James Schill" because I'm an asshole and I forgot the letter M.
My only hope is that they didn't hear the phrase "Puke & The Gang", think it was a prank call, and then run off with the credit card number.

Anyway, here's to 100 episodes, and hopefully 100 more!

Piss off forever and always,
Joe Sampson & Nichole LaRoche (aka Nizchhhhhhole, aka Andrew's fellow 2%-er)

PS:
I think someday you should feature the band Walk Off The Earth on an episode. They started as a cover band, and eventually released a CD of their originals, and I think they're truly talented! I really haven't seen a band this talented in modern days, so I really took to them. In a lot of their videos, the band members play multiple instruments, they throw and catch instruments left and right, and they have one-take videos that will blow minds. I've enclosed some links in case any of you feel like watching:

My favorite covers:
Magic by B.O.B: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf2db4hD6zI
Roll Up by Wiz Khalifa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ8nkJ1_Ee0
Reckoning Song (One Day) by Asaf Avidan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97STcnWqFr4
I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor Swift. Yes, I know she sucks, but I was fortunate enough to hear the WOTE version before the original. It's A Capella and it's awesome, not to mention this chick is way hotter. Fuck you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcM14Al83Ls

But if you ever play something on the podcast, I think their originals would be of better quality, and my favorites among those are these:
Gang of Rhythm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHvl6z56zGc
R.E.V.O http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME8eh4rMO7Y
Red Hands: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bt-FHaFVH8
And to truly appreciate the Red Hands video, you really should watch the making of the video. They had to learn this song broken up, with some parts sped up, and then shoot the video all in one shot! It's fantastic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OtOnZeQ9IM

But if you dig them, find your own favorites and play those instead! Their album R.E.V.O. was released in March 2013 and I love the whole thing. And no, I don't work for them, I'm just a fan of good music when I hear it :-)
Wow, I ramble when I'm drunk.

From: Nick K. in VA
Message: I urge people to listen to the exchange between Andrew and Ian Freeman on Puke & The Gang Episode 99 (11:11 - 53:35).
Andrew said some wonderful things. I point to *this conversation* for how to be an exemplar of showing kindness toward someone with whom one disagrees.
Your conversation was absent of ad hominems, strawman tactics, yelling, and other nastiness. The things I *did* witness were: Taking a genuine attempt to understand the other person's point of view, acknowledging the validity of the things that the other person says, and offering suggestions rather than have a dick-waving contest over who is right.
Empathy is something that is important; it is something that can move the libertarian movement toward progress and it is a skill that is vital to the existence of a truly free world.
When people are engaged in respectful, well-thought-out, polite disagreement, we need to give them props, we need need to encourage those activists.

From: Ratchett Boy (aka: Black Jeebus)
Message: Okay, okay, it has been a while since a rambled on, other than to like Julia on Facebook or something, but that is besides the point. Puke and the Gang is fuuuucking awesome!! I'm submitting i listen more than any human that exists, 8 hours at work, 1-2 at the gym, driving to those places, doing house/yard work, i mean what the fuck is wrong with me right? No, the Gang fits any scenario, and has brought a lot of positive things to my life. Here recently, in May actually, I woke up on my birthday like "hmmm.. I think i'll get high and like do nothing, all day long.. yeah, that's what i'll do, eat the fuck out of everything and waste hours on the internet, it'll be great." But that didn't happen, that particular day, gym ramblings and stories from the Gang were running through my head and i said "fuck that!" and joined the YMCA, as well as quit cigarettes cold turkey. I've been going ever since. But, on top of that, I started being sorta active on Instagram which i hate you for, I started trying craft beers and premium cigars every weekend. Turns out, i'm not the biggest fan of IPA's other that that Two Hearted Ale I thought that was delicious. Stouts for life. "Staying healthy with Julia" should have it's own corner of the show, because i also have picked up a few things from her. When i look at the food i buy at the store now, i try to give it my best Julia analysis.. BUT!! Back to the goddamn Y. OLD PEOPLE AND CHILDREN! I Thought you guys were exaggerating or this was possibly a Keene thing. Nope. The very first day i went, I hit the track, and there was a kid, pushing a smaller kid, in a stroller, on the track, going the wrong way, talking shit to people as they walk by! And if it's not children ruining my day, it's the fucking Golden Girls, walking 6 wide on the damn track. As i jog closer i kinda stomp, you know, so maybe they get the hint, but whatever. Well this email was pointless, but you get the idea. Jules and the Gang is theee shhiiiiit.

From: Shane D.
Message: Have you guys considered cooperating w a local bar where you could record from and have an audience each week?  I'd think they would want the business and if you bring in enough people maybe they would even pay you.

From: A Bothered Mind
Message: Do you ever have dreams where you've got a gun but no matter what you do the bullets have no effect? Its unsettling to have something you "Know" should work like a law of the universe, "not" work at all. Much more horrifying than the being pursued part.

Could you guys share some memorable dreams that have freaked you out or stuck with you?
