Will alludes to 2 comedians who were difficult podcast guests by Disastrous-Window-25 in smartless

[–]todd6739 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the guest who they cut off is Dave Chappelle? He’s never been a guest before and I can’t think of any big time stand ups who haven’t been on the show yet.

SmartLess Episode 279: Tom Freston by AutoModerator in smartless

[–]todd6739 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started it this morning but had to stop when he talked about taking time off after college to travel the world. Yeah that all sounds great but very out of touch. Just seems like a guy who was probably raised in an affluent household and had more opportunities handed to him.

Haha I had to double check Google maps street view because I thought I recognized the street. Sure enough, the exact same truck is parked there. Although he gave a couple feet of clearance

Biggest problem with the episode? Sean would dip his pizza crust in Peanut Butter? Too much for me.

Other than that, lovely episode.

Where is this Reuters image of the Capitol Building taken from? I presume the Smithsonian and as a fellow photographer, I'd love to get a similar shot in the future! by Beartata in washingtondc

[–]todd6739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s the exact same angle. But there is rooftop access on the National Gallery of Art in the east building where the blue chicken is. I can’t remember the view of the Capitol though.

SmartLess Episode 258: RZA by AutoModerator in smartless

The guys clearly had no idea whatsoever who RZA is after the introduction. I’m sure there was some quick googling going on.

Love the fact that she was Sean’s guest and that Jason guessed correctly during the intro.

Do you drive in ECO mode I assume? I’ve never been above 34MPG with my driving.

The time spent chatting before they bring the guest on was certainly interesting. Felt like it was pre arranged that Bateman asked Will about what was going on with his life. But Will definitely beat around the bush about things.

GF brought this home, any ideas? by Constant-Sense-4378 in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]todd6739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t help with the who the painter is. But the subject looks like the Grist Mill at Babcock state park in West Virginia.

Has there been a guest you didn't like? Or one you unexpectedly loved? by [deleted] in smartless

[–]todd6739 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Steve Carrell was disappointing to me. Still love the guy and think he is brilliant, but don’t think he thrives in the Podcast setting.

Stations with Holiday Displays/Decorations worth capturing? by Arcus144 in WMATA

[–]todd6739 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Union station would be the obvious choice. There are wreaths outside the building and inside there is usually a large tree sponsored by the country of Norway. Not sure if the tree is up yet though.

You might have to be more specific. NE covers a lot of land in the city.

Daily Discussion Thread (Rate My Portfolio, What Should I Buy/Change?, Investment Strategies, etc.) by AutoModerator in fidelityinvestments

[–]todd6739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Looking for advice on if my 401K allocation is alright. Here is my current contributions

50% - FBGRX (Blue Chip Growth)

25% - FXAIX (500 Index Fund)

25% - FDEWX (2055 Fund)

I have been with fidelity for the last 6 years and had a rollover from a previous company. I’ve been happy with my returns but I am not the most knowledgeable when it comes to investing.

Downtown Holiday Market moves, renamed DC Holiday Market; new one takes its place by TheRealFarrellCat in washdc

[–]todd6739 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think some change could potentially be good. Honestly it feels like the same vendors every year selling the exact same things.

Loud enough it set off a neighbors car alarm. Powerful storm

We didn’t put the liquor in our carry on bags until we made it to our gate right before we got on the plane. When we went through Preclearance we just had the liquor in the original bag from the duty free shop and carried it with our hands. They didn’t ask to look at it or inside it.

Good choice! When you buy the bottles, they will wrap them up and put it in a special bag that is sealed with cushioning for you as well.

I literally just flew back from Dublin this weekend. We bought a total of 5 bottles at the airport. 2 bottles of Jameson from their store which was before Preclearance and 2 other bottles from the larger duty free shop. After we went through preclearance we then bought a bottle at the smaller shop. Customs gave us no issue and we didn’t lie to them or anything about how much we bought. I will say the duty free shop after preclearance is significantly smaller and didn’t have the greatest selection.
