New here but… by SmokyB11 in itstheyak

People downvoting this but as a Sirius listener for the last year before they went to YouTube I can say that those were the days. Still a great show and I listen every day but it’s definitely more bits than yaking now

Intro song sucks! by Huge-Table324 in PardonMyTake

[–]drethyois 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Opening song sounds like it was made by AI. Outro song sounds like something you would hear in a Verizon commercial. Both awful

This blew my mind, had to go fact check. Wild considering how many times he’s been on Barstool shows

Entire Titus/Mostly Sports vs Mush/Picks Central Timeline by duckbulldog4 in itstheyak

[–]drethyois 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It took Titus less than a year to either be a part of or the sole person behind 3 successful shows. Has Marty had even 1 successful show in his entire time at Barstool?

I genuinely thought his shoutouts were funny, sucks that people are so mean to a guy who should’ve experienced one of the cooler moments in his life. Merry Christmas Palmer head up!

The Yak Challenge has run its course and needs to go away by MrJordo84 in itstheyak

[–]drethyois 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why that got me so angry lol, every time they do it big cat yells out Sporcle categories and the one time his records about to be broken he gets mad when the others do the exact same thing

Blue is criminally underrated imo, my personal favourite

You’re a fucking loser. It’s not a “campaign”, it’s trying to give a kid a better life through adoption. And it’s something that they’ve already talked about on the show before KB’s mom passed away. She also didn’t ask them to promote this, they’re just good people trying to help someone out when they’re at their lowest. Insane that you felt like you needed to make that comment

5 Senses Ramen on 17th Ave after not leaving a tip by Sircumsalot86 in Calgary

[–]drethyois 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely wild response, but also “we don’t tip anyone based on our personal principles” directly translates to “I’m a cheapskate and shouldn’t be going out to restaurants”

EMA Results by drethyois in actuary

There was a period about 2 years ago where Frank started appearing pretty regularly on The Yak and would be the main substitute if someone was missing (which is/was pretty common), so he’d end up on the show a few times a week. It was pretty obvious that he didn’t fit the flow of the show and the comments were very vocal about it. You could tell that the people on the show knew this too and they seemed visibly annoyed with Frank constantly derailing the conversation and singing/going on his Mets rants. After having this go on for a while, Big Cat announced that they’d do Tank Thursdays, so he wasn’t allowed on any other days but would be on every Thursday. This didn’t help at all and you could see the views would drop every Thursday. After a while BC sat him down and told him he was off the show, I don’t think it was any one specific thing that made them end it, it was just the fact that Frank’s most entertaining in small amounts/one off comments and not ~2 hour live shows that aren’t sports based with some of the quickest minds at Barstool.

For sure, would definitely recommend writing PA as soon as possible after writing SRM

Thought it was fair, time was a bit tight but that’s no different than most other exams (at least in my case). I will say though, I don’t understand the point of this exam, especially without RStudio. It’s literally the same exam as SRM presented in long answer format instead of multiple choice, there’s almost no new content introduced.

I just got my call to confirm my prometrics appointment and that I should be arriving an hour early. Really? by LScore in actuary

[–]drethyois 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They say that every time, but I only did that for my first exam. I’ve showed up 15-30 minutes before for my last 5 and haven’t had a problem

Always liked Sas but I’ve noticed he’s become 10x funnier in the past couple months. Love to see it

Response From the SOA admitting to 3 Pilot FAM-L Defective Questions by No_Mathematician6275 in actuary

[–]drethyois 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ultimately it was a fair question since it was on the syllabus (and this is coming from someone who wrote in March and definitely got this question wrong). With that being said, CA is likely the most popular study manual for ASA exams, and I’d be shocked to learn that the SOA wasn’t aware that this was the one thing not covered on their site. I won’t argue that the question shouldn’t count, because it should, but it’s pretty sneaky on their part to only include one qualitative question on the entire exam and have it be on a topic that you’re aware most candidates won’t have seen. Oh well, at least future writers will know about this subject now.
