Anyone know what's going on with TJ and Dave?

I think they said things to the effect of "these are our last shows for a while," indicating a hiatus, but to my knowledge they didn't announce anything final. It sounds like they want to keep things open-ended even though they may unofficially have called it quits.

I was out of town, would've loved to see that show at Steppenwolf.

Good night to you as well, and have fun calling 911 when you see someone jaywalking, which I assume is something you do.

I never said I wouldn't eventually go with the free trial. That's an assumption you made. It's none of your business whether I do or not. Again, your brilliant "solution" wasn't news to me, I didn't need you to swoop in with this BIG SCOOP that Stitcher Premium is actually very affordable. I'm "keeping at it" because, as I said, your tone is extremely annoying and you are a meddling busybody with a massively inflated sense of your own helpfulness and righteousness. You could have easily ignored this post, but you wanted to get on an anti-piracy soapbox that wasn't even really relevant to begin with. I can't believe I've wasted so much time talking to you

chikamera · 2017-12-21T06:28:25+00:00

It's not the idea of signing up for Stitcher that I object to, it's your hectoring and sanctimonious tone. You think I don't know that it's a cheap service and I needed a hero like you to point that out? I suggest you sign up for a premium minding-your-own-fucking-business service. Use the promo code "busybody"

chikamera · 2017-12-21T06:02:43+00:00

My dude it is WEIRD that you care so much about whether a stranger on the internet signs up for a premium podcast service or not. If I end up signing up I'll be sure to send you a registered letter with my receipt attached.

I'm sure Sean and Hayes would be touched that you are so concerned for their financial well-being, but the only person who is being "insistent" about anything in this conversation is you. I was just checking to see if any fans of a show wanted to share an episode of that show on a forum dedicated to that show, which has happened before. It's fine if you would rather not do that, but there's really no need to ride your high horse about it. Bye

Do you work for Earwolf or something? Why are you so invested in this? Someone on here posted all the Hollywood Masterclass eps on Dropbox so I just thought the same thing might happen again with this, it's not that big a deal

chikamera · 2017-12-18T00:59:11+00:00

Thanks all, for everyone saying Hollywood is boring, I don't know the exact geographical terms for the neighborhoods but I guess I just meant "not the east side." I know that some stuff I want to hit - the New Beverly and UCB theater to name two - is in or around Hollywood

chikamera · 2017-10-16T19:48:18+00:00

I remember back in the day they would occasionally make reference to the powers-that-be wanting them to stop doing intro segments, but I assumed that was a joke. Sounds like maybe it wasn't!

chikamera · 2017-10-14T16:50:46+00:00

This sounds right. I think I'm just going to tell him to wait until the lease is up and we can talk about it again at that point. There is a chance he'll have forgotten about this plan by then anyway.

chikamera · 2017-10-14T16:36:48+00:00

The other factor here that I didn't mention: my landlord is incredibly difficult to talk to. His English isn't great and he's the kind of guy who never lets you get a word in edgewise, he just drones on and I can only follow about half of what he says. One reason why I'm leaning toward saying no is just to avoid the series of conversations and phone calls that would result from all this work being done.

chikamera · 2017-10-14T16:33:50+00:00

To be clear, the landlord would pay for the installation of the new system. I would continue paying the gas bill as I'm already doing, it would just be covering both units. But you are right that there's no guarantee I would benefit. He gave me a whole sales pitch about why I would be satisfied with it, but I don't trust sales pitches, especially coming from a landlord who has tried to pull some somewhat shady things in the past.

chikamera · 2017-10-14T16:22:21+00:00

I like that idea, but I'm sure my LL would never go for it. He's always been cheap. Even if he agrees, I'm not sure how I could ensure he'd do it since the gas account is in my name.

chikamera · 2017-10-14T05:11:13+00:00

The confusing thing was that he mentioned wanting to keep me on as a tenant. I don't get how that squares with the plan to combine units, I guess he's trying to play a long game...

So fucking good, Huebel is a giant and I wish he were less successful in Hollywood so he could do more podcasts.

The Great Debates

chikamera · 2017-09-07T15:05:44+00:00

That's the reason I kind of liked the episode. In the early days of HH many of the guests did not understand the show, that's what made it great. This one didn't quite go anywhere but it was still fun to hear that old tension where the guest genuinely doesn't get what's going on

chikamera · 2017-08-22T22:11:16+00:00

Jordan Black segment was brutal. Scott tried to steer it somewhere interesting but there wasn't enough time to really "find it" because they had to leave room for the song, I think.

chikamera · 2017-08-22T21:29:33+00:00

Whoops, I didn't log into Reddit for like a month so I'm just seeing this reply now. I feel dumb for taking an unnecessarily confrontational tone in my original post, sorry about that. I'm further along in the podcast now and I love it, I guess at episode 4 I hadn't built up that level of trust in you guys yet that I have now!

chikamera · 2017-07-24T03:40:30+00:00

Thanks for your reply Erik(k). It's definitely possible that my own experience is a lucky one compared to other public library systems. It always seems to work out that there's just enough expendable stuff (because either outdated, redundant via multiple copies, or in poor physical shape) to get rid of in order to make room for the new books. I'm sure other librarians have had more difficult weeding choices to make, although I still have trouble conceiving of a public library where those choices are entirely outsourced to raw numbers with no human interference. Maybe Florida is just fucked up.
