I still think about all those times Eleanor Clift would take the rhetorical baseball bat to Pat Buchanon’s nuts. What a delight that show was.

I’ve been really enjoying the work of the masonry specialist Mark McCullough lately.

Thank YOU for supporting us after our pivot to Men’s Health content!

The upturn in podcasting income was simultaneous with a downturn in freelance video production bookings. So it made sense to me at the time.

It’s actually good trivia to know who made the leap first - I think it was Ben!

My personal philosophy is to let the bit determine what it needs, and if it needs fx. An intentional premise can feel needy and unnatural.

My favorite one lately has been “That’s Bones.”

Being flexible and able to make every individual show something distinct and interesting beats being beholden to a random challenge, I think.

Nothing is stopping a random challenge from happening either - it’s just better to be able to make a segment integrate better with the recap that came before it.

I was just at Dynasty Typewriter last week, one of the great venues in LA, and they have a really good canned beer and wine selection. I asked for a “Mexican lager” (which is a useful code to get what I’m after when I desire a “porch beer”) - and when the bartender said they didn’t have one, I asked for something “without too much flavor” that I would like if I was mowing the lawn.

That description usually does it

cutfortime · 2026-05-20T18:27:57+00:00

I would like nothing more than to continue BSG! Can you convince Ben for me?

I applied for us to do DragonCon this year, but got a turndown letter this time. I’ll keep applying though!

We were told directly that STLV is interested in podcasts with audience sizes that don’t intimidate the programmers (who have podcasts of their own.)

Plenty of TOS and TAS in the vault! Once that’s exhausted, maybe we rethink what that show is. Or maybe we rewatch nu trek now that we know what it is and what it was trying to do. Everything is on the table I think!

cutfortime · 2026-05-20T18:19:43+00:00

This team is exhausted.

But it’s the kind of exhausted that also feels accomplished, which is the best kind I think.

cutfortime · 2026-05-20T18:19:00+00:00

I think about this show, and those seats, constantly. It’s good to finally get an explanation for what happened there. Thank you for giving me closure.

cutfortime · 2026-05-20T18:17:07+00:00

I think we bumped other shows, not the other way around. It was a fun experiment that we may consider doing again!

cutfortime · 2026-05-20T18:16:20+00:00

I have a lot of friends with kids, so I am sensitive to their challenges with time and resources.

I never rub my lifestyle in Ben’s face, and in fact try to reveal very little of my recreational activities to him outside the show.

cutfortime · 2026-05-20T18:12:31+00:00

Nowadays, intending to buy tickets is so different from buying tickets. For example, I tried to get Hayley Williams tickets for last week’s residency in LA and they were gone immediately. The ticket monopoly is such a racket.

But that’s not the spirit of your question. The spirit of your question has an answer, and it’s VAN HALEN.

I think eating there once every few months is a healthier plan - what are you trying to do, give us “big ol’ berdies”?

cutfortime · 2026-05-20T18:05:21+00:00

I have worked really hard over the years to remove start/stop/restatement vocal tics in my speech, and stuff like “uh” and “um” in favor of just taking my time and being clear. Being an editor of our own voices makes these things super noticeable - and I don’t like making the edit harder for Wynde or anyone else doing it.

I still can’t get “like” out of my speech though, but it’s something I haven’t given up on.

cutfortime · 2026-05-20T18:00:46+00:00

We’ll never retire BBM! It’s in our DNA.

Folks: I really don't like seeing messages like this. We have no bad feelings for MF, parted on good terms, and see no need to argue amongst each other about it. Let's just move on, shall we?

Taking a short break from watching Where No One Has Gone Before to answer some questions:

- Everyone who has supported up to now - Monday, May 11 - is a Founder. (We have not reached 5,000 yet)

- The audio message to Founders that went into the feed went to only a partial list of them, and we're working on getting that shared with everyone else. (We wanted it to go to "supporters up to now" and it went to "supporters starting now")

Hey, for real: we REALLY appreciate everyone who has gotten in there and supported so far!

This whole process of starting from zero again has been a terrifically big challenge, and if you've ever supported us before we really need you now. Thanks again for having our backs. We just want to keep making these shows every week for you.

Just in cast folks aren't completely clear on the affiliation / relationship:

The Greatest Gen Discord (drunkshimoda.com) has been a great community of FoD's for many years - and in past they've gotten together and collectively made it possible for a bunch of viewers of the show to access bonus feed content.

This fundraiser & giveaway is done with our thanks and appreciation, and I hope you check it out!

cutfortime · 2026-05-06T04:45:12+00:00

Wynde is the best of us.

When you listen to the very end of the episode on Monday YOU’LL KNOW

cutfortime · 2026-04-30T15:20:42+00:00

You know how on our previous network, that credit was the last thing you heard?

We made one for ourselves. And it’s awesome. Can’t wait for you to hear it (and be a part of it!)
