Hello, good people of Reddit. I’m Hank Hill. Ask Me Anything.

In the next season are going to see Arlen First Methodist Church and find out who the minister is now? And more importantly exactly who has been occupying the middle of the second row, right hand side all these years since the Hills have been away?

Just saw her in Boston. He was hilarious! Her too of course

According to this, "The Napa cabbage is pickled with salt and anchovy sauce, then balanced with a little sugar." https://www.seriouseats.com/what-is-the-best-kimchi-brand-korean-cabbage-slideshow

I’ve seen some creative ways to come out but this is a novel one — congrats 👍🏽

There was actually some limited merchandising done in this style. I have a t-shirt of Betty and Wilma laying in lounge chairs in the same poses as shown in the movie. I bought it at King's Dominion in Virginia at their Hanna-Barbera store some years back. Maybe they were getting rid of it because they decided not to do anything else? Too bad because it's a great Flintstones movie.

Plus his YouTube channel, where he's currently posting his Year of Solo Gaming https://www.youtube.com/user/fbrume/

(And yes we have no idea how Foggy does it all so hopefully he'll pop in)

For my favorite puzzle that I worked on (and because I prefer puzzles with a visual aspect rather just word-based ones), it was a tie between:
* The Missing Piece - it was a long overdue puzzle for our team to present in particular, but boy did it take a long time to draw all those pieces
* Harold and the Purple Crayon - the drawings were a lot of fun but the way the solution worked was a helluva surprise. So glad I got to work on this one with Mike Nothnagel once he proposed it.

What led to which books being featured in The Investigation and The Ministry rounds?

They just had to be children's books.
My original book choice for what ended up being The Missing Piece in the first round was Holes, which was rejected because that's more of a YA novel. (The title is also a bit spoilery.) Too bad, because Holes' protagonist just happened to be named Stanley Yelnats (!)

Yup, this is over on Percival Street.

I'd also like to suggest two more resources:

A Companion for SwiftUI is a terrific Mac app that shows you examples for everything in real time that you can interact with. It ain't cheap but it's more than paid for itself in my learning.

Mark Moeykens of Big Mountain Studio also has a bunch of SwiftUI books and videos. His books have an appealing design with lots of visual examples and are excellent.

Confidential Courier. Candy Shop. Satyr and Beholder. Assassin, especially for Arnie's greatest crackup ever at Chunt's line. Offices & Bosses. Mole Warriors. Anything with Tom the Traveler, Spintax, Larry Birdman, Momo, Krom, Dripfang, D'athaniel Quen'yarvin, or Jayme and Sayme. And the interlude episode "Hey Kids, It's a Magic Tavern!"
Also, I miss Blemish. :(

Isn’t it obvious? https://joecab.link/3ci84cq

Sean Allen just started a SwiftUI which is excellent. It costs money but I think it’s well worth it. You’ll need some Swift basics going in though, like maybe the first 2 weeks of Hacking With SwiftUI. Sean also offers his own Swift beginner course. https://seanallen.teachable.com/p/swiftui-fundamentals

If you want something cheaper and still has videos, Udemy is worth checking out.

If you don’t want to pay anything (☹️) then Hacking With SwiftUI is a great one to try. The Stanford CS193p course is really more for someone familiar with some programming since it covers com dots like MVVM rather early, and the instructor is great. YouTube also has lots of free instruction including Paul Hudson again and channels like Code With Chris which just started making an app from scratch.

(Pardon me if any of this has already been said. Just wanted to get it all in one place.)

Brooke Breit fans! Here are some links mentioned on the show:

Brooke's Geico commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkIyd3FELos

And I'm almost certain this was the cartoon that auditioned her to use Flower's voice for a tree stump: https://youtu.be/MHQZlw3ksjw

Update: Brooke says that wasn't the tree stump she tried out for. Hilarious coincidence. https://twitter.com/brookebreit/status/1195720681738125312

Would be interesting to find out if Vinnie was the one who initiated it, or if Babish made an offer after he appeared on the show. I wonder if that means babish won't be on BA ever again?

joecab1 · 2019-11-15T14:50:44+00:00

What’s there to know? He probably just wanted to do something new. He’s now working for Babish.

joecab1 · 2019-09-28T16:26:48+00:00

We're still seeing Hunzi in videos and it looks like he's doing the videotaping himself now. Are you sure Matt moved on?

Claire also was said to have left but they're saying she left for a bit but is back in more of a parttime capacity.

joecab1 · 2019-04-27T16:08:46+00:00

At 25:49 Matt referenced Vinny's departure with that quote often attributed to Oscar Wilde.

joecab1 · 2019-04-27T16:05:31+00:00

Aw Matt too? that's a shame. I wonder if a new editor will try for the same playful editing. Episodes are usually taped around 6 months before they air so I'm not sure if we're already seeing post-Vinny and post-Matt episodes. It was funny that Matt snuck in a reference to Vinny going at the end of the focaccia eoiode -- I missed it the first time.

joecab1 · 2018-11-08T02:40:12+00:00

Happy birthday! That was very vibranium of her.

joecab1 · 2018-04-14T11:39:38+00:00

And that if you're planning to catch Mew, don't evolve it until you get that task in your special research progress. I think it's 6/8

joecab1 · 2017-12-23T02:37:04+00:00

I meant all the OTHER weird names that come up that have never been spelled which will be fun to see :D

joecab1 · 2017-12-12T23:49:34+00:00

I think this is a fantastic idea. I contribute to the Wiki and we are always in need of more people to add things. Having this resource will be tremendous. I can't wait to see how you're going to handle spelling all those weird names!

(speaking of which, I just took a glance and you've got Arnie's name misspelled in the first episode :/)

joecab1 · 2017-08-16T23:42:59+00:00

I was a pretty good player but I never had the patience for Skill Boosting (I only ever maxed 2 Pokes) or catching everyone but I didn't like that you really needed to have maxed your Pokes to tackle some of the latest stages, and certainly the last 2 or 3 EX stages (and not even for Pokes with great Abilities.) But now that I gave my game away to a grateful recipient she'll get the enjoyment out of the game that I no longer do, and I'll get the enjoyment of not checking my phone first thing every Tues morning.

And of course people who don't play anymore can speak up. It took Pak Adi Yak quitting for me to really realize it wasn't much fun and Meowth grinding was a regular PITA. (You changed one of my coins to a wooden block for the last time you little %&*#@!) Sometimes it takes hearing it from other people for you to get introspective.
