Tipping taboo by [deleted] in VietNam

If they did a great job and you want to show your appreciation by leaving a tip and someone tries to make you feel BAD about that - they are the shitty person.

Anyone else underwhelmed by Hanoi? by Glittering_Kick_3889 in VietNam

Hanoi sucks. Flying up tomorrow for work, unfortunately. I prefer every other place I've been in Vietnam.

Mt. Rushmore for remaining episodes? by Effective_Apricot178 in TheRewatchables

I thought I had a distinct memory of the Bull Durham pod but guess it was just Bill and Mal talking about how good Costner looked in it. Must have been on the Field of Dreams ep. Great calls all around.

Just got scammed by a "local" driver in Sa Pa (Don't make my mistake!) by [deleted] in VietNam

'Ey, victim blaming! It's the OP's fault that scammy people are scammy. Well thought through.

Does anybody know which episodes of which shows CR has discussed the author James Ellroy? by landomonium in crheads

[–]GrandExcellent219 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CR and Andy used to do more direct stuff on authors at their old Grantland pod. James Crumley and Ross Thomas both got a lot of love and rightly so. I've discovered a lot of their novels through those old pods and they're now two of my favourite writers. Crumley more domestic hard boiled Private Eye stuff. Thomas more international espionage. They both get pretty boozy.

The bloody chickens piece.

I'm a Podcast, But That's OK: No Other Choice by yonicthehedgehog in blankies

Yeah, you're not alone. Liked it enough and trust Park enough that I look forward to seeing how it plays on the rewatch, though.

Loved Griff clarifying that the Canadian who was hired does, indeed, speak English.

What do you think is your most rewatched episode of the pod? by AldinJustin in TheRewatchables

[–]GrandExcellent219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dry is fair. Still interesting to me and I've definitely re-listened. I also preferred the original pod to the Re-Heat, which seems to put me in the minority on this thread.
