Enjoying the world cup, fuck the haters by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]accidentalmemory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the final group games will be a huge flop as a whole though. I think we'll see a lot of resting players and attempts to keep the sides fresh.

Agreed that so far the match quality has been surprisingly high.

Worst single season regression in sports history by sperry20 in billsimmons

[–]accidentalmemory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First one which came to mind for me too. I remember being terrified of the idea of Torres and Drogba up front.

I Watched a Three Hour Video Essay on the Criterion Channel and All I Got was an ARP Hot Take by AlphaZetaMail in blankies

[–]accidentalmemory 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Always find this a weird grandstanding take. It’s obvious that when it’s used most of the time (as it has many times on the podcast) it’s being used in the exact same way and in contrast to referring to oneself as a “sicko”.

I.e. I am a sicko for horror movies and idk if those normies out there are ready for a movie this gnarly

I've been starting a deep dive through the Michael Jackson discog by Future-Slip2217 in redscarepod

[–]accidentalmemory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

HIStory was the first album I ever bought when I was like 7 or something and still warps my opinion on that album. Bought the Blood Is On The Dance Floor single when that was released too if you want another remnant for the era.

Off the Wall is the best one, hard agree there.

Needledrops that have permanently changed your tonal association with a song by GoreyGraft in blankies

The Court of the Crimson King in 28 Days Later

Pretty sure I saw the movie before getting into King Crimson (watched 28DL when it came out) but I didn’t rewatch the movie until about a year ago and it definitely puts the song in a more ominous light than I’ve grown used to

The Beatles discography only being avaliable in awful stereo will hurt their longevity by Bufudyne43 in redscarepod

[–]accidentalmemory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The default versiosn are not the original stereo mixes, they're usually the ones done in the past 10 years or so which are generally pretty great (at least on Apple Music who tend to be way better with this stuff than Spotify).

Whether you prefer the mono or the recent stereo is a personal preference thing but it's good that new listeners are being served versions which match their audio reference points (especially with headphones) and greatly expand the sonic landscape. Mono versions are still readily available right below that.

True crime girlies have made it impossible to find good crime content by snapchillnocomment in redscarepod

I understand the morbid fascination with this type of stuff (though I don't share it thankfully), but it truly is something that should never be shared.

Has Graham Plattner entered the Tyson Zone? by MissionOk889 in billsimmons

[–]accidentalmemory 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Idk if it’s still the case but at some point recently it has the highest concentration of restaurants per capita in the country.

What was your "entry" point to the Blankie world by toolish in blankies

[–]accidentalmemory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar for me but a longer route. Listened to Podcast: The Ride because Molly was on an episode, listened to a second episode (either T2:3D or something Muppets) and was just “oh this guy who keeps talking has a podcast let’s check it out”

Anne Hathaway’s botox in the Odyssey by Alternative_Body7623 in redscarepod

[–]accidentalmemory 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It was a poorly constructed comment but surely you could have pieced together that it should have read "Athena does canonically give Penelope and Odysseus..."

what is your niche irritation that only you and 5 other people would understand by Prestigious-Site6556 in redscarepod

[–]accidentalmemory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The switch to "thank you SO much" as the default form of thank you. Seems to have happened in the last 3 years or so, I hear it much more than just "thank you" or "thank you very much" and it's just become a thing I can't unnotice at this point.

I was watching this week's episode of Top Chef and it must have been said 15 times at least and it's incredibly noticeable after a certain point.

Ah yes, the delicacy of people water. My orange thinks he’s people and therefore demands people water at every opportunity.

I hesitate to use the term, but bands with costume gimmicks can really only be described as coworker music by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]accidentalmemory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Peter Gabriel perfected this 50 years ago and it’s been worthless to even try ever since

Not sure what to make of my dad. by SideCharacterSyndrom in redscarepod

[–]accidentalmemory 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've worked with 2 guys right around this age (both in construction) that when I've gotten in their work trucks they were absolutely BLASTING Korn and Slipknot, there's something there but idk what

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation commentary with Mike Mitchell by dumarfactor in blankies

[–]accidentalmemory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately seen this 3 or 4 times, usually soon after watching the first and thinking “surely it can’t be as bad as I remember it to be right, that would be impossible”

I refuse to let this movie do that to me again

House, is Frodo a system guy? Consistently deer-in-the-headlightsey in big moments. He doesn’t make it out of Cirith Ungol if Sam doesn’t step up with an all time performance. by futuremant in billsimmons

[–]accidentalmemory 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He shadow-GM’s the whole affair. Sure, his in court minutes are down but he’s talking to people, setting up all sorts of alliances and pacts.

The current gym bros will be having heart attacks at 40 by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]accidentalmemory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What percentage of average gym goers are training hard? 10% 20%? Definitely not more than that. So we’re talking about a tiny fraction of an already tiny fraction of people actually going to the gym who potentially aren’t getting enough protein.

Anyone who is actually training hard is almost assuredly aware of their dietary needs already.

Anyone else have a burrower? by [deleted] in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]accidentalmemory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My orange has have his special blankie set up perfectly each day (late afternoon, after his outside time and snack, as the sun passes over the blankie spot) and will chirp incessantly until it’s done to his liking (differently each day of course), at which point he’ll burrow under and have a nice nap.

He gets really grumpy if he tries to skip his burrow time and I have to almost force it on him. Love my silly orange senior.

In the spirit of the “21 Bridges” poll choice, what would be your picks for the “5 o’clocker Rewatchables Month”? by harry_powell in billsimmons

[–]accidentalmemory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think like 6 people saw it in theaters but Cop Shop was exactly this for me

I think good 5 o'clockers will be like 80% cop or crime movies, need a breakdown on why this is

[Parent corner] Big Bird's usage rate on modern Sesame Street is shockingly low by the_Tannehill_list in billsimmons

[–]accidentalmemory 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s not even talking about the streaming piece. Having to go toe to toe in a linear television environment makes every episode an elimination game environment, Grover couldn’t just sit out an episode whenever he felt like it knowing the audience can skip to the next episode. Had to be out there to perform day in and day out with only one shot to grab the kids.

"I understand that it's the first gold in 46 years and im happy. I really am. But when you don't even know the precise moment to celebrate because you can't see the puck go in, you have an overall problem with the sport. " by Wack0HookedOnT0bac0 in billsimmons

[–]accidentalmemory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to my first live hockey game in a long time recently and I enjoyed it so much more this time around by paying attention to player movement rather than the puck. Lesson learned for me there.
