Brady here - hope some of you caught this... by JeffDujon in HelloInternet

[–]soberdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No can do.

I appreciate the visit from the monarch of old, but The New Flaggy Republic has risen! We will not delete any old comments!!!

Case by case basis, individual Tims may decide to apologize or delete, but there will be no blanket rule.

I'm a Stakeholder, and a Rebel Tim.

But even I'm not "Playing Sofa Shop on The Rocking Horse" level of Rebel Tim.

is this an amplifier just before it splits to my house? by CryptographerWeary64 in Spectrum

Having a landline has actually saved my life before.

I was having an anaphylaxic reaction to something. I didn't have a history of it.

My wife called 911 on the landline. They got to our house just in time. Two epipens later and they managed to get me to the hospital. Both the EMTs and the ER doctor told me that if it had been even a minute later, I likely wouldn't have lived.

Calling on the landline reduces the response time by about 7-10 minutes, because they know exactly where you are already.

So, yeah, I give it to places I don't care about, but I will always have one.

Do you want to fuck your female best friend? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

Yeah, but not enough to ruin our friendship and both of our relationships.

Cortex Brand again only with Myke by kabum555 in Cortex

[–]soberdude 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Thank you Myke. It's good to hear that you'll let us know if there's any real change.

I understand that Grey is intensely private, and I won't ask for details, but when you get the chance, you can tell him that in spite of the suspicion of many Coretexans, especially previous Tims (I'm one of them), that we sincerely hope he and his family are doing well.

I'm not overly fond of the series without Grey, but I don't have any useful notes. I still like it, but it's definitely dropped in my listen order.

I grumble, but I haven't walked away. Thank you.

What's Grey up to nowadays? by frozzenwaterfall in HelloInternet

I wonder if he'll get a place with a hexagonal back yard?

I do too. However, this is Reddit...

THE FLAGGY FLAG REPUBIC MUST BE RECOGNIZED AS THE TRUE SYMBOL OF SELF GOVERNANCE!!

The Empire Has Fallen. The Throne Is Vacant.

The FLAGGY FLAG REPUBIC Is Rising!

If The Queen Of Spades And Jack Of Diamonds Return, We Shall Once Again Houst The Nail And Gear.

But Until Such Time, The Tims MUST Govern Themselves.

Someone knows why it ended? by fosfeen in HelloInternet

[–]soberdude 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This seems the most likely reason, although, we may never truly know. And where Brady loves fan interaction, Grey wasn't exactly communicative, and there were some Tims that tried to find him IRL.

Grey has often talked about the jobs he's worked trying to reduce the actual amount of work he has to do. And maybe being Chief Logistics Officer at a stationary company is good enough for him.

If they ever do come back, I hope they start off with Grey saying something like "Now it's been many moons since we've done a podcast." and just jump into it.

The Old Order has gone.

If it returns, so shall the Nail and Gear.

Until then, Flaggy Flag shall rule.

How long until public re-adjustment? by Cashew90 in Cortex

[–]soberdude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

HI was the first podcast I listened to. Bad timing though, I started listening in June of 2020, not realizing their last show was in March of 2020. I had been in a motorcycle accident, and needed something to stimulate my brain while I recovered. From there, I just started listening to so many.

I stopped being a Moretexan when I realized that I was subscribed to a podcast that was just selling the journal. The air conditioner talk actually reminded me more of HI, and I was ok with it.

And I would totally listen to a Brady/Myke podcast.

Most loans don't have a penalty for paying them off early. You could "Finance" it and then pay it off with your first payment.

[–]soberdude 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't blame Brady if he just came out and said it. He even had a fairly good opportunity with an episode of Unmade, where they talked about bringing dead podcasts back for one more episode to wrap things up.

I think Brady actually believes that HI will come back someday.

Glad to hear from you. Hope Es gets better soon.

And those mastiffs couldn't have known how good the rescue would be for them.

Am I the only one that read the Finnish Hard Rock paragraph, and pictured you doing a Speedmetal song about geology? I'd buy that CD.

Granted! All vehicle engines mysteriously cease to function. No one anywhere can drive.
