oooof the prince Andrew section in 45:30 have not aged well...

[untziggy]

Ooh boy did that Prince Andrew bit not age well.

[ee-lyjb]

“I’ve met Prince Andrew… I have a lot of respect for the guy.”

- Brady Haran

This did not age well

[TheGreatNordini]

I have images of your wife coming home to find you eagerly setting up a gigantic marble run, and you're just like, "it's work honey, honest".

[shyamshenoy]

Echo survived! It's really weird hearing Grey riled up about Amazon echo in 2017 :D

[TheGreatSteve]

The end part of the marble run not working bugs me.

[arveycozza]

41:06 That's exactly what I said in my mind. "I'm not sure how famours commonwealth is inside the commonwealth"

[Grabehn]

The moment Brady said "Prince Andrew, most famous for being married to Fergie" and went "WHAT?"cuz the first thing that came to mind was the singer.

[Dth]

Interesting hearing their takes on the Echo now, when Echo, Apple HomePod, and other voice-assistant enabled smart speakers are doing really well!

With respect to painting over airline logos: I agree with Brady that the intent of the airline is not to interfere with the investigation. However, In the cases where an airplane collides with another airplane or an object on the ground paint-transfers are a vital clue. Splashing paint around a crash site would interfere with this part of the investigation. Evidence tampering is an appropriate charge regardless of intent.

Oh my god!  Those toys, my childhood.  Those were absurdly fun.

This podcast was brought to you by the letters H and I and the number phile.

[chillsahoy]

The memories! I remember having that toy, or a very similar one with marbles going down funnels, nearly 20 years ago. Listening to these old episodes again makes me smile because I know what's going to happen; I feel like a time traveller.

[K-o-R]

I love the pre-editing footage of Star Wars: A New Hope with David Prowse's Bristol accent that somehow makes Vader even *more* intimidating.

[thermophile]

"I'm sure it will be better than the rubbish they served us for the prequels"

Well that aged like milk.

[daltonriser]

its weird living in 2017 where the echo is great

[gerbils]

Thank you Brady for saying "Ay-Tee-Ay-Tee".

[unplaceableface]

Hey, if anyone goes to check out the Dulles airport commercial, the cartoon man in the lounge is reading Playboy. Just making sure you didn't miss it.

[SirLaurenceNZ_]

This is completely comprehensible :O I managed to not see the trailer until like 1-2 months ago and the video here is even further back! How had I not seen a major trailer earlier than Grey! I saw the trailer in a thater preroll XD

[MasterDeroy]

The silence after Grey watched the star wars trailer made me crack up. :D
