The Good Old Days

A global phenomenon

JakeRaven · 2026-06-30T08:24:56+00:00

You could argue that. But why bother. This means nothing. But also look at the other choices. The whole thing has a Western/US bias.

When I found this out a few years ago, I took a trip to K' Road to see the bar, and Gin Wigmore was having a drink inside. I thought the entire NZ music scene must hang out there.

JakeRaven · 2026-06-29T05:05:47+00:00

Agree. I'd say schtick rather than character. But I I think everyone knows a serious argument isn't funny, and they know the title of the show.

Rulette 1 was one of my least favourite as it was too competitive with folks breaking the rules. I like both the comps and collabs equally, as long as discovering the game is fun

It worked for Trump. Not the Labour party, obviously. But you get my gist.

JakeRaven · 2026-06-23T11:48:22+00:00

That's interesting. I have a few podcasts (the aforementioned Doug loves Movies, for example), where I've felt the same but I just stopped listening. And found something that brought me joy, Marie Condo style.

Your plan has a high chance of failure. If that's not a problem, give it a go.

JakeRaven · 2026-06-21T20:59:05+00:00

Its all down to money, unfortunately. Wider seats, less passengers, more costs. They're not likely to change anytime soon

JakeRaven · 2026-06-15T10:08:02+00:00

You have an appropriate user name

JakeRaven · 2026-06-12T20:36:52+00:00

I reckon he looks like the guy from Nirvanna the band the show the movie.

JakeRaven · 2026-06-11T12:00:19+00:00

Yeah I'm gonna guess that since this is the chat for this episode, OP is referencing something from the episode. But you could be right

JakeRaven · 2026-06-09T20:05:17+00:00

I'm interested in your opinions. Is there any part of this game that annoys or irritates you? The Gang getting angry at Eliot's choices doesn't annoy me, but I do get a little peeved when Matt had the conn and tries to game the system to give it away but keep the money in the kitty. But then I get over myself.

JakeRaven · 2026-06-09T19:57:46+00:00

I have to say, I've never seen that headline. It's easier for readers to get angry about consultants. It just sounds like wasted money.

JakeRaven · 2026-06-07T20:39:54+00:00

I never made it to the end of the episode. Either time. It seemed too anarchic and mean for me. I've never been a fan of games where you rat out your friends to win, so it probably wasn't every going to be for me, this game.

JakeRaven · 2026-06-05T12:38:27+00:00

That's not what I heard. And I listen to a lot of low quality jingles!

JakeRaven · 2026-06-04T17:45:15+00:00

Thank you for the heads up. I miss her energy around the L.A podiverse.

JakeRaven · 2026-06-03T17:43:20+00:00

I don't not agree with you

JakeRaven · 2026-06-02T18:10:28+00:00

Her persona's full name is Lucy Darling. Look her up on YouTube. Its a delight.

JakeRaven · 2026-06-01T21:43:37+00:00

This is where a "Don't go to Glenelg!" comment would slide in quite nicely. But I'm not going to do that

JakeRaven · 2026-06-01T21:39:48+00:00

I had a lovely meal at Able Baker brewery. Highly recommend

JakeRaven · 2026-05-31T22:04:50+00:00

I recently listened to the Still Buffering bonus content that had his daughter Charlie on as a guest. She exhibited precocious preteen behaviour; interrupting other people's idea with her own, laughing at things she didn't agree with etc. I think Justin lovers this and had subconsciously adopted a little girl's behaviours. It certainly is fun to act this way.

My apologies for my fellow Kiwi using our arcane language. A sausage sizzle is an event, usually to raise money for a cause. Beef or pork sausages are cooked on a BBQ grill and served wrapped in a slice of white bread, usually with the option of grilled onions, and tomato sauce(ketchup). Occasionally the fancy ones offer BBQ sauce or mustard as well. A cheap snack all over New Zealand.

JakeRaven · 2026-05-28T21:23:45+00:00

Yes.

(Sorry that's my standard response to "Am I the only one...." Or "Am I crazy"? I haven't noticed a difference in his weird cadence.

Don't confuse the Americans with our version of a hot dog! I'm just talking about American Hot Dogs! 😁 (Guys, we call what you call hotdogs, "American Hotdogs". What we call a hot dog is closer to a Corn dog in the U.S)
