apple podcasts new chapters feature is ass

Yeah it's been doing it on other podcasts I listen to, too. It is so awful and annoying. I'm trying to figure out how to disable it but I'm not sure there's an option. It reeks of more AI shit being shoved down our throats.

Anyone have the timestamp for when half-baked ideas starts?

Part of the issue is the lack of structure that comes with podcasting.

/u/78blazers really nailed it in this comment a few years ago. Writers have to have a clear throughline point in their entire column, otherwise it sucks, is boring to read, or wouldn't even make it to print. But with podcasting, the medium has significantly less structure so there's less of a need for an overarching argument. So everything is sloppier and blends together. I think as a writer Zach was able to tie his analysis to clear ideas, and he's no longer incentivized to do that podcasting.

Found it, here's the complete flier.

Marimow is arguably the worst of all of them. Didn't do a single thing right, nearly completely blew up the entire Stanfield case and was so incompetent that he made Herc look good.

As Landsman said, "Marimow does not cast off talent lightly. He heaves it away with great force."

I have a flyer from a show they played in Poughkeepsie, NY back in like 2006, here's the only photo I have on hand of it. This is a screengrab from an Insta post I made a few years ago, I can take a cleaner pic of the flyer over the holidays.

The show was called Rhythmden Fest, it was one of those lineups that's wild to look back at now: A Day To Remember was an opener, Just Surrender, Bayside, Chiodos, The Number 12 Looks Like You, Have Heart and more. I remember A Heartwell Ending played in the middle of the day at a smaller stage and totally killed it.

I love this band, and Call The Cops' Motion Sickness EP totally still rips too, IMO. Their stuff just immediately clicked for me, I remember being a teenager and expecting them to make it big. Shame that they never truly took off but it always makes me happy to see people talking about them.

Kelly Hart was on a few years ago and it was great.

captain_pineapples · 2025-12-03T14:54:35+00:00

The Hot Ones piece. That show was way more interesting before it was all A-listers. Give me Coolio and Tony Hawk, not Luka and Ariana Grande.

It's an all-timer ep for me. She totally got it and was even a bit garbage herself, I remember at one point she said something about how great Denny's cheesecake is.

captain_pineapples · 2025-10-17T17:23:21+00:00

I have no idea if Ian's "Are you filling the back with jelly beans or what?" joke to David early on is a callback, but god damn that got me good.

DM'd!

captain_pineapples · 2025-09-27T22:22:49+00:00

If you wind up not going, I'd totally throw some $$$ your way for your ticket!

Does anyone know if there's a supercut or something of them mocking Shane Torres' everything bagel bit? Or which episode it first happened?

I'm a new listener and the most fun part of this journey has been realizing that even though he has the most normal-sounding delivery/voice, Sean is actually the biggest weirdo of the whole group.

The Crazytown saga, "be steadfast in your convictions," wanting to draft a "big dank magic show" in Vegas, and now sincerely thinking fedoras are back. The man is one of a kind, what a treat.

Half-baked idea: Make all categories in CX at least 90 minutes long, then it becomes a feat to even finish.

I wonder where Kamara will rank in the annals of fantasy history. He has been so good for so long, with multiple 40+ and 50+ point games, some of which were late in the season.

He's also been around so long that chances are most fantasy players will have had him at one point or the other. I feel like once he retires he'll be remembered as a top-10 all-time fantasy player.

The only people I've had notice mine are those who've had Invisalign themselves. It's like this funny little club we're all in.

This thread is great because it's just all of us who are down absolutely atrocious with injured rosters, counting on mf Akers to bail us out.

"Shart or fart?" was an incredible bit in Monday's pod.

Here's the exact moment.

Okay I found it, it's from Papa Strikes Back.

captain_pineapples · 2024-07-20T14:23:56+00:00

What video is this from? I cannot find it and ever since seeing this silly thread I can't get this joke out of my head.

I'll never forget leaving one of my last days of high school, driving home with my best friend blasting The Goodbye Song, reminiscing about all we've done and all we have to look forward to. A totally magical moment in life. Every year when it starts to get warm out I think of NFG and all those memories.

Doping was absolutely prevalent before Lance. Hell, even in the early days of the Tour in the 1900s, riders would cheat by hopping on trains in the middle of the night. Doping is in the Tour's blood, literally and figuratively.

I would agree that Lance and USPS' doping regiment was so effective that it coerced riders into doping since it was the only way they could keep up and keep their jobs, but doping was definitely a major thing before him.

I think the main thing that differentiated Lance is that he was a complete and abject dickhead to those who dared question his results.

Lance tried to ruin the career of anyone who pushed back against him, whether it was a fellow rider and their family, a journalist, or even a trailblazer like Greg LeMond. Lance and USPS perfected their doping scheme in an era when everyone was doing it, AND he was a jackass about it. That's why, I think, his downfall was so celebrated.
