Like most, it's changed my vocab ("Ahhh, EFFFF!") and I have drops pop in my head all the time ("Good for you!" "Liar! Whore! Liar! Whore! -And you know it!" "That's super interesting.")
However, it's affected my life in more deep ways too. On one hand, it's definitely the biggest source for my entertainment by far and is from where 90-95% of the laughter in my life comes.
On the other hand, I listen to the podcasts, and it takes a huge chunk out of my life. Think about it, over 17 hours a week - that's a part time job. Yes, if I'm doing something simple, I'll listen at the same time, but I usually can't listen at work, so much of the time, I'm just listening to the podcast and doing nothing else. If I wasn't so focused on the show, I would probably spend a lot more time focussing on things like applying for better jobs or continuing my education. I honestly believe I'd be more ambitious without the FBHW Show keeping me satisfied, but it's so addictive, I can't stop!
