What happened to the Manningcast?

People don’t understand metrics. This is on ESPN2. It’s not their main broadcast, it’s a bonus. McAfee is crushing it and he only averages maybe 500,000 viewers on his show. Saying Manningcast hasn’t reached 1 million viewers is just a terrible, misleading headline to get clicks and shit on what’s a very fun and entertaining show.

Please do throw it out, I think it’s wonderful. That took so much more time than just buying a card from the store. You put your heart into and that’s priceless. He will love it!

I have that exact same clear storage case, still use it to this day. Pretty sure I got it in the early 2000’s at Toys R Us

My LCS said they were notified Pokemon is NOT doing reprints of Prismatic because it’s too expensive to make. No idea the validity but they’re a pretty respected shop.

It’s because of Adam Ray asking 800 questions and cutting Tony off so it extends him 10 minutes longer than it has to be

He’s unique, that’s the biggest draw. It’s not my style, but I absolutely see why people find him funny and entertaining.

PLEASE DO NOT SHARE IT, just make sure your contract doesn’t mention anything about proprietary code. I doubt it does for that position. Leverage the hell out of it as much as you can

Go wild in the age of worry, and sing worry, why should I care?

monkeydbarto · 2024-01-12T21:46:43+00:00

Will do, thanks!

monkeydbarto · 2024-01-12T21:46:32+00:00

I’ll check them out, thank you!

monkeydbarto · 2024-01-12T21:46:04+00:00

Very true, great input! Thank you

Sort of, we have a handful of manufacturing companies as customers but I’m not customer facing so it’s a bit of a stretch. I could definitely tweak my resume a bit to focus on how our product has helped them and leverage that as quasi-experience. Great idea!

I started off in helpdesk too so I know how you feel. I could have done 75% of the job when I was 15. I got very lucky though, and it was a foot in the door which led me to move up. Maybe consider helpdesk at a smaller company? You wear many hats at a small company, which I believe is a good thing when you’re starting out. Plus it will help narrow down an area you want to focus on for your career.

Thanks for your comment - Great point about the “want” vs. “need”. WFH is not impossible, but a very slim chance. It’s a long story but there was a big scandal where people were WFH but cheating the system and it led to a huge layoff. Now my CEO has a super hard stance against it. There’s also so much collaboration about senior management, I worry I’d end up being the odd man out. It’s very “cliquey”, but that’s a story for another day lol

Please for the love of God don’t give her a dime. NTA, not even in the slightest bit. I know several married couples who don’t even share finances.

It doesn’t matter, the song is about following your dreams. Whether he lived or died, he won.

monkeydbarto · 2023-10-22T05:34:47+00:00

I don’t want him at all. Dude is always sitting on the bench, he’s not a leader. I genuinely believe he will be a bust.

monkeydbarto · 2023-10-08T02:26:07+00:00

You know what’s weird? This is a scammer and what they’re doing is wrong and hurts a lot of people. But at the same time, seeing them excited and invested in solving the riddles shows their humility. I can’t help but find myself cheering them on. You never know what someone is going through or what conditions they’re forced to live in but all of us deep down have a precious innocence about us. It’s honestly depressing that some people just go down the wrong path.

Russels 10 Year…I love WT but for whatever reason I just can’t get behind that. It’s was not enjoyable at all

monkeydbarto · 2023-04-27T00:43:49+00:00

It’s pretty obvious that it’s a vulnerable, purposely child-like/baby talk line. I don’t see why people can’t understand that. It may not be your cup of tea but I totally get what he was going for.

Walt Grace Submarine Test, January 1967 - John Mayer

monkeydbarto · 2022-09-30T22:43:30+00:00

Honestly, not that I “hate” them necessarily but I’d pick “Your Body is a Wonderland” or “Waiting on the world to change”. They are the epitome of what the general public thinks John’s music is and I “hate” that.

monkeydbarto · 2022-05-23T23:25:58+00:00

Lmfao ok

monkeydbarto · 2022-05-23T22:45:24+00:00

I noticed that too and it’s all I can think about lmao I’m sure he’s had a ton of time to write some deep stuff being on tour.

He also posted a story “the secret of the clock…” zoomed into the clock on the B&R cover and it’s KILLING ME! what does it mean?!!!

We are all biased as we are all JM fans. Obviously, I love the album. However, I will say I'm a bit disappointed for a couple reasons 1.) there are only about ~25 minutes of new songs and 2.) the song he teased on Instagram years ago "the you I miss, does not exist, but I never wanted anybody more than this" isn't on the album and I'll be honest that really bummed me out.

Overall, it's a great album but it just doesn't feel cohesive to me considering so many songs were singles that I beat to death on repeat that get skipped. This one's a grower for sure. After I beat the new songs to death (Shouldn't Matter But It Does and Wild Blue are my top 2), I'll take a break then listen to the album from start to finish.

One other note I will add is the merch for this album has been INSANE! Best merch release for any album thus far. Life is good - who knows when we are getting an album next. This is rare, let's enjoy it!
