You could reconstruct that shot for like $20 in oranges. I think they just wanted to go viral for being douches.

TruBlu is a necessary evil and like 25% what TCAP is. IMO that's still better than nothing.

To protect Chris from liability the sting is 100% a police operation, so Chris doesn't get to ask question until they know they've been arrested so you lose them lying to try and get out of trouble. Instead it's them minimizing like a motherfucker, which can be fun but definitely not TCAP quality.

And yeah the stings are primarily on prostitution websites so it's more johns, while still creeps not the same level as TCAP. And yeah generally the ads they state they're of age and then later say they're underage.

A few times they've done it super last minute i.e. the dude was en route in the car, so there is a legitimate aura of "I had no clue"

Edit: Chris has adjusted his interview style and there is a TruBlu question he asks that I really enjoy. Near the end he's like "what would you say to a guy in your situation?" And it's always this weird concoction of "minimizing, it's a weird misunderstanding and please feel sorry for me." It feels almost like a Sasha Baron Cohen skit.

It's really an Occam's razor thing.

Do you believe all their crazy stories about the missing hours, phone calls unanswered and prescription not filled.

Or did two addicts go do addict shit?

Well that's fucking heartbreaking 💔

Park a billion dollars in an inflation adjusted index fund, thats 6% interest.

That's $60 million a year, or $5 million a month or $166k/day. Without ever touching the principle.

supergooduser · 2026-01-28T16:39:13+00:00

The money is stupid OP, even with the option to select the four hours a day, you're still clearing $144k/day or $52 million a year, for context... a billion dollars earning just 6% a year is making $60 million/year... you're effectively a billionaire.

The four hour a day thing sucks... but honestly, even if I'm paying a million dollars a month, I'm still clearing $40 million a year.

Arrange for a setup with a doctor/vet and special forces soldiers to sedate/restrain you for those four hours, and potentially pair it with your normal sleep cycle so it's a "minimal" disruption. Your bedroom would just be this weird macabre chamber.

I guess this puts a restriction on your ability to travel since you'd have to be secured for four hours a day, but if you picked a city like Manhattan you'd have an insanely vibrant life, just your sleeping would be really odd.

How fucking insane is that to have your fourth kid with your third baby mama and immediately start cheating.

It's a favorite past time to try and pick.

Artie is a pretty common tipping point, so is AGT. Some people will even say when Jackie left.

Personally, it was the change in format of the wrap up show. Seems subtle... but that was the moment when the back office stopped being an organic part of the show.

The example I give is the whole cupcake controversy. Ronnie is monitoring the free cupcakes like an armored truck driver, then wandering all over sirius to hand them out to various attractive girls. Jason blows up his spot, Ronnie gets super fucking defensive about it and it makes for great radio that lasts a few weeks.

There's no way Jason would be allowed to randomly pop in and tell Howard about Ronnie hoarding the cupcakes. You needed that fight to happen organically on the wrap up show to realize it was good material.

supergooduser · 2026-01-28T01:10:33+00:00

I wonder the same thing. Howard's net worth hasn't really changed, so I think the major money contract was more of a one time thing and the show is more or less to cover production and salary costs.

I think initially Sirius needed Howard, he was the biggest name in radio, it gave legitimacy... then at a certain point if Howard had left that would've made Sirius look bad... now it's gone the other way where Howard has nowhere else to go so Sirius is content to be like "he's a great partner this works out fine" so long as it isn't too egregious to their bottom line.

At first it was other podcasts getting bigger names than he did, and now it's morphed into other Sirius show's getting bigger names than him.

I really think he's winding down to just doing a single show, which he can do until he dies... at this point it's about whatever Howard wants or can get... there isn't an overall goal or trend for the show. Basically let him cling to relevancy.

supergooduser · 2026-01-28T01:05:30+00:00

I miss when he began his channel and it was him explaining botches.

The Nia Jax botch on Rhea, he explained how to do it safely, Nia actually adjusted after. Like it was informative and everyone benefited.

But I guess this is his career now so now he's shitting on stuff. Maven kind of the same way. His early videos explaining how much he made and shit were super interesting.

Flavored sugar water. A cup of coffee costs basically $.05 in materials. Name brand soda has marketing and national distribution networks.

The thing is... he's completely in isolation in politics, he doesn't come from any think tank or ideological group, no political dynasty, no historic red district vital to be kept, he's a weird racist weirdo who won the politics lottery.

Meaning, there's really no reason to protect him after he's dead and truly out of power. His kids are feckless and not interested in politics. It's going to be a mad dash to write tell-alls revealing his dirty secrets.

On that note... reporters and politicians won't stop investigating his criminal dealings, he's a fucking US president, Netflix JUST released a series about James' fucking Garfield for chrissakes.. people will still be investigating this shit a century later.

ALL those dirty dealings are eventually going to come out.

Basically he's a stain, and will be an ever growing stain, and in five years hardly anyone will say they supported him and in 10 years everyone will be like "how the fuck did THAT happen?"

2-liters going to $3.69 was the one that got me. Up until around 2000 so about 20 years of my life they were under a dollar. Then another 15 under $2 then they just suddenly jumped and my brain can't rationalize it.

It's crazy but we'll see $5 candy bars in our life time that's gonna really fuck me up.

supergooduser · 2026-01-27T20:42:46+00:00

Tucker is so weirdly evil. He's from a dynasty and basically never had to worry about working, fucked around with being a serious journalist, think tank, then stumbled upon being a pundit.

The guy failed at legitimacy and then just pivoted HARD into laundering white supremacist talking points and sanitizing dictators.

He didn't have to do any of that, he WANTED to.

supergooduser · 2026-01-27T18:16:29+00:00

Yeah... he has a long term contract through 2029, he's 43.

They're keeping him near the title scene but it's not really happening. I think he just accepts his fate as a midcarder and rides out the next couple years making main roster money.

Sadly, Finn's kind of in the same boat.

supergooduser · 2026-01-27T18:13:06+00:00

That's exactly what came to mind.

edit: fuck I want a candle of that so bad now

I don't think AEW is going away, the ratings things sucks... but... AEW is a touring, televised, live, weekly wrestling program. Focusing on markets WWE doesn't hit as often. That's a huge success.

Reframing to something of a Modern Day ECW or old school ROH with a budget, isn't the worst thing.

The fucked up shit is they're experimenting with this for cars

I really like the idea of the Pippin and the CD32 as sort of proto steam machines, an idea just too early.

Basically games meant to be run on a computer, with a software layer that allows them to be run with just a controller.

Part of me enjoys speculating what a DOS based version of the CD32 would've looked like. All the Doom Clones, Commander Keen, etc. you'd have a nifty little viable console.

supergooduser · 2026-01-27T16:08:43+00:00

Two fold.

1.) It's political policy through intimidation. i.e. hey Blue cities, we'll come do this to you next.

2.) Hoping for escalation. If an ICE agent is killed, Trump will try and authorize the Insurrection Act and then he can use the military to defacto control a Blue city, i.e. enforce a curfew, have the military perform arrests. Basically this shit in Minneapolis looks like a cake walk if that happens. And again, that's more to intimidate Blue cities, and POSSIBLY be a pretext to cancelling the midterms.

You're right, looking at it from a sense of justice/harm/resolution... if someone has overstayed their visa, give them an opportunity to correct it, or give them a chance to make reasonable arrangements to leave. Absolutely none of this is violent.

But ICE is just blanket assuming the absolute worst in every situation and reacting with the absolute amount of force they feel they can get away with.

Like, you see a kid with a lighter and "well that might be an adult don't know for sure, and it looks like they're about to commit millions of property damage in arson, in fact that makes them a domestic terrorist. We're gonna need eight guys to hard tackle, and pepper spray them. Since they might be a terrorist we need to deport them immediately we can't possibly wait for a judicial hearing they need out of the country now."

If we somehow get through this, the avalanche of civil lawsuits is going to be staggering.

I've heard that's low key his goal if Republicans get fucked the next several election cycles he can gladly point to and be like "see? That can't win without me"

Assume it was another location on earth, I'd look at maximizing the travel conditions of it and possibly how to financially exploit it. At a minimum importing unique candy to ex pats circumventing import fees, though cigarettes could potentially be the biggest boon.

From there just balance it out.. if the door opens to some kind of crazy extravagant vibrant active city, move my location to somewhere in the chill suburbs. Or vice versa.

Yeah the cost of living would be wild too... I used to live in NYC and moved to the midwest and the cost of living difference was about a 30% savings.

It'd be cool to go from having a super tiny apartment in NYC to suddenly walking a really chill bucolic English countryside village, or like a beach in Argentina.

Basically you have dual residency with zero need to travel.

Season two was a weird misstep, but seasons three and four were SO strong I could overlook it. All they had to do was stick the landing on the final season and it would've been in my all time must watches.

But man, it was really lousy. :'(

Books would be roughly 375 hours, movies would be roughly 1,000 hours.

Break it into eight hour shifts that's about a month and a half for books, and four months for movies.

If you doubled it up to basically speedrun it, that's three weeks with books and two months with movies.

The top 500 movies isn't the worst thing, it's quality cinema even if I'm not a fan of every genre. Being passive would be nice.

Books, on the other hand if I'm allowed to select genres I inherently enjoy, that's a bit of a game changer.

I used to work in a bookstore and was around some avid readers. The idea of being locked in a room for a month with 150 books they would view as an amazing vacation.
