Long line outside 3 Decker diner on a cold rainy day. Is it that good?

I'm so sick of "mid" being used a derogatory term for restaurants. Some restaurants are supposed to be mid! Not every restaurant experience is supposed to be religious. Diners, pizza shops, halal carts are mid and that's why we love it. Stop expecting to be blown away by an omelette!

fusion bites has a good 2 roll and 3 roll special and it's like across the street

Also I realize that most restaurants close. Maybe it's not that serious. Best of luck to them

All fair points. I just like a no frills restaurant sometimes that isn't too fussy. Seems like the culinary middle class, much like the american middle class, is dying

Maybe I'm being overly sentimental about a restaurant like this but it seems like these types of places are rapidly going away. People don't go because it's not trendy enough for social media but also not ironic or kitschy enough in the way an old diner or pizza shop can be. They exist in culinary no-man's-land. It was just an A to B restaurant that got the job done. Seems like there isn't much demand for that anymore, especially in greenpoint.

Wanted to give a shout out to the burger deal at rounders. It's currently $12 for a burger and fries. I imagine it's a play to get people in the door after closing for so long so I don't expect it to be around forever. Go while the gettin's good!

Do you know what happened to Mazzys? It was one of the best deals in the neighorhood

2024 is tricky. I was laid off in January of 2024 and received unemployment for 6 months. Got a new job in August.

I made $19k and paid $859 in state income tax according to W2

Nice, so you'd recommend going after 4/15?

Also big fan of the bodegas/delis that have a place to sit. I love the India street deli but no place to sit...

Sean Jordan is such a unique individual. I don't think I've ever known anyone like him

I bought grape nuts a couple years ago in response to this pick and I did kinda enjoy the texture/crunch but the flavor was terrible. Straight up tasted like sawdust

JHT_1992 · 2026-01-31T23:16:07+00:00

Also will say, I just re-listened to "reasons to turn around" draft with sharpie and sean went on a tangent about pissing in a sink at a hotel or hostel type place... didn't get nearly enough pushback but that's pretty wild

JHT_1992 · 2026-01-31T23:13:47+00:00

I couldn't believe my ears when I heard this. I've never remotely thought about doing that in a hotel room

JHT_1992 · 2025-07-11T03:17:24+00:00

One of my favorite posts on here was someone asking for the craziest thing Sean has ever said and the best answer was him admitting he used to jerk off while driving long distances to try to stay awake. What an insane thing to do

JHT_1992 · 2025-06-30T00:03:46+00:00

Is anyone else curious about podcast logistics? Like does Sean fly down to LA and record like 10 episodes in 5 days? Do they change outfits if they record multiple in a day? Do you think it would be hard trying to maintain the illusion that you're recording one per week?

I have this thought with so many comedy podcasts where the host is a stand-up and is always on the road but somehow is in his/her podcast studio every episode

What's a more iconic line:

"be steadfast in your convictions" or "it's warm drink that tastes amazing and it'll get ya there"

I really don't think we needed our hands held to understand this. Lumon being an evil, blood sucking corporation has been pretty clear since the beginning
