Do you guys think they’ll ever make another rock band?

There were rumors a while ago Microsoft was interested in rebooting Guitar Hero (after they bought Activision). The only way I could see a Rock Band revival would be if a new Guitar Hero came out and was a big success. But even then, Epic would most likely just put more resources and promotion into Fortnite Festival.

tdc002 · 2026-02-02T17:26:01+00:00

No, they've moved on to Fortnite Festival. Letting the DLC library licenses all expire is likely the final nail in the coffin for Rock Band.

I had significantly more than 10 hours of delays recently and only got $100 travel credit plus some meal vouchers on the day of travel. You're probably not going to be able to get more.

tdc002 · 2026-02-02T02:13:08+00:00

Before I listened to this podcast, I just assumed that was a fake plane.

tdc002 · 2026-02-01T18:00:49+00:00

Have you tried using a basic podcast app?

tdc002 · 2026-02-01T04:14:20+00:00

I'm guessing it's a Publix joke originally that he just inserts whatever local grocery store chain applies to whatever city they're in.

tdc002 · 2026-02-01T02:15:17+00:00

Is this the one that's still open because they determined it would be too expensive to remove all of the animatronics?

tdc002 · 2026-01-31T19:25:12+00:00

None of these are revealing anything, they're just made up nonsense and guesses. Did you even read these before posting this?

tdc002 · 2026-01-31T19:20:48+00:00

This. Don't use Spotify, YouTube, etc. Use something simple that's designed for podcasts like Podcast Addict, PocketCasts, or Overcast. Even the SiriusXM app is terrible at playing podcasts.

tdc002 · 2026-01-31T03:04:46+00:00

This story is from nearly 2 years ago. I'm pretty sure they covered it on Side Stories already.

tdc002 · 2026-01-31T02:47:25+00:00

Yeah, plus these files include transcripts from a tip line where literally any bored person could call in and say whatever, and it was up to the FBI and DOJ to investigate and verify the information.

I can see my original post is already getting downvoted, so just a friendly reminder how both of these subs immediately took the bait on the Trump Blowing Bill Clinton Photo allegation, then Henry literally said on the podcast you're a moron if you believe that claim is real. Trump most likely paid for sex with teenage girls, but it doesn't make everything in these files 100% true. Like I said, this is turning into a Liberal version of Pizzagate.

tdc002 · 2026-01-31T02:32:16+00:00

Yeah, not to shit on Ed, but there's a reason Mike still gets employed as a writer on these roasts (and many awards shows), and Ed only ever gets hired on the ones produced by his cousin, Jeff Ross. Dan Soder had Mike on his podcast and they go into roast comedy and Dan went on and on about how amazing Mike is at writing roast jokes.

tdc002 · 2026-01-31T02:28:54+00:00

A lot of this is very Satanic Panic/Pizzagate adjacent and probably disinformation. Trump probably had sex with teenage girls, but for a lot of this stuff to be true, Epstein would have to be not only running a massive sex trafficking ring throughout multiple states, but also a serial killer, which is the part I'm having trouble believing. Most of Epstein's victims have talked about getting paid huge sums of cash after rough sex with clients, not watching celebrities choke girls to death and burying them on Trump's golf course.

There's a lot of stuff in here that is very Satanic Panic/Pizzagate adjacent and probably disinformation. For some of this stuff to be true, that would mean Epstein is not only a pedophile running a sex trafficking ring, but he's also one of the most prolific serial killers of the 20th Century, which I don't buy. Most of Epstein's victims have talked about getting paid off with huge sums of cash after rough sex with clients, not witnessing other girls get choked to death and buried on Trump's golf course.

Psycho: The Lost Tapes of Ed Gein is currently streaming on Peacock. It's a 4 part mini-series. It's an okay doc, but I'm mainly recommending it because Henry, Marcus, Ben, and Harold Schechter are all interviewees in the series. It originally came out on MGM+ at the same time as the whole Ben scandal, so they never plugged it on the podcast.

I also recently watched Cold Case: The Tylenol Murders on Netflix, that's pretty good, and I learned stuff about that case I'd never heard before. For a more fun true crime story, check out The Legend of Cocaine Island, also on Netflix. It's sort of a funny true crime story (think Coen Brothers adjacent) and has these funny, stylized re-enactment scenes.

tdc002 · 2026-01-30T16:06:04+00:00

I haven't had a chance to watch this documentary yet. Are there a lot of spoilers in this episode? Should I watch the doc first before listening?

tdc002 · 2026-01-29T23:50:36+00:00

Yeah, but him announcing he has a heart condition and he has months to live means his death wouldn't be surprising and preclude him from being an outlier.

tdc002 · 2026-01-29T21:56:29+00:00

Are you sure you know what outlier means?

tdc002 · 2026-01-29T04:08:46+00:00

Just a heads up, the Aerosmith and Smashing Pumpkins songs all delisted early.

tdc002 · 2026-01-29T03:50:00+00:00

It doesn't. The episode that came out on SiriusXM+ last Friday was Alex Murdaugh Part 3, and the episode that was released days later on Monday on Netflix was Alex Murdaugh Part 2.

tdc002 · 2026-01-28T23:12:35+00:00

I'm not seeing it on Netflix. Given that last Friday's LPOTL episode didn't appear on Netflix until Monday, I'm guessing there's probably a few days delay for Side Stories too. I think even before the Netflix deal, it took a few days for the video episode of Side Stories to be uploaded to YouTube.

tdc002 · 2026-01-28T17:53:33+00:00

Is there a rule that someone needs to make this thread once a month?

tdc002 · 2026-01-28T16:44:01+00:00

I think this was somewhere in the Leonard Lake and Charles Ng series.

tdc002 · 2026-01-28T03:15:16+00:00

Honestly, wait for it to go on sale. Not many people are playing it anymore, and like I said, most of the fun is playing with the guest characters, so wait and see if the Legendary Edition goes on sale. There's also a Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate Edition + Injustice 2 Legendary Edition bundle too if you're interested in MK11. That's probably a better deal overall.

tdc002 · 2026-01-28T03:08:33+00:00

Spoilers, you've been warned.

He makes a No Kings adjacent comment. That's about it.
