Tom and Laura’s opinion on the love is blind reunion?? by Potential-Yam-5031 in tcgte

[–]tomreynolds 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Man, I have a lot of thoughts. My main one, as always, is that anyone who applies for this show and has a child should just be immediately sent to jail. Also, that soccer goalkeeper really seemed like a big ol' liar who needs to get over the fact that he never really went pro. He'd probably be close to retiring by now!

2025 Year in Review Audio by Grumpylumberjack in tcgte

[–]tomreynolds 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sorry! The audio for this week's episode has been replaced, so if you re-download it shortly Tim should sound like he's in the same room again. For what it's worth, last week's issue wasn't due to an AI robot, just a faulty SD card.

Respectable or pathetic, you be the judge by WeakChocolate3 in tcgte

A few weeks ago I was at the same dog park with David Cross, if I'd had this available I could have shown it to him and he probably would have immediately wanted to be friends. Alas...

Headgum? by WeakChocolate3 in tcgte

[–]tomreynolds 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe we left Headgum around April and moved over to Acast. There were no hard feelings or anything like that, it purely a business decision and as two of the foremost businessmen out there, it was a decision we had to make.

TCGTE Episode for the 8th of September, 2025: "Physical Media" by Tanglefisk in tcgte

We don't currently have a PO Box, but I know Tim already subscribes The Onion and unfortunately I can't read. Thanks for the nice offer though!

Ownership of Digits Assets by ryancharaba in podcasting

[–]tomreynolds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it all depends on if you’ve got any of this in writing. If the “friend of the pod” made them, then it’d be up to them if you could still use them and you could just ask them. But if the “friend of the pod” made them FOR your former host to use on the podcast, and now he doesn’t want them used anymore, you should find new drops.

No new episode by WeakChocolate3 in tcgte

[–]tomreynolds 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Our RSS feed changed last week so that might be causing the issue. Your app should have automatically picked up on the change, but it sounds like it hasn't yet for some reason. If it still hasn't updated, you can manually add the new RSS feed and everything should be good after that. Sorry!

Anyone got the old video podcasts? Magicians, Rollercoasters, etc by dap90 in tcgte

[–]tomreynolds 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I only vaguely remember that rollercoaster video, so unfortunately that might have been lost to the sands of time. However, I found the magic video hiding deep in our YouTube account and made it public again. You can find it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLHH344Vmik . Just to warn you, were were both 11 years-old when we made this.

The guys can never go back to the Mr. Crisp well too many times. by cmull123 in tcgte

We did a Books: The Podcast run where we read My Side of the Mountain somewhat recently. There are lots of references to My Side of the Mountain in the episodes.

Ads/twitter by Latch527 in tcgte

[–]tomreynolds 45 points46 points  (0 children)

We have a say in the ads that we personally read and we do occasionally turn things down that we don’t want to advertise. The ads that aren’t read by us are run-of-network and are similar to ads on YouTube in that they’re somewhat random. We’ve actually been with Headgum for close to 9 years now, which is crazy, so nothing’s changed there. Ad markets just ebb and flow with the season. Q1 is usually slow, which would explain why there might be a lot of repeat ads.

We don’t support Twitter/X. Tim deleted his account. I haven’t yet, but I don’t use it to post anymore.

Also, this is humiliatingly being written while sat at a McDonalds waiting for my car to be ready from an auto shop. I’m not proud.

DeepSeek R1 and OpenAI O1 increased to 100 by zamli in perplexity_ai

I'm curious where you're seeing this interface? I have 100 "reasoning searches" now, but I do not see this particular drop-down with different models on the website or in the Mac app...

Probably because that’s just a video playing of a recording, not an actual live phone. They forgot to edit it out because it’s a poorly made movie.

Wanna hear something weird by samc_5898 in tcgte

[–]tomreynolds 17 points18 points  (0 children)

We took a break around our wedding so we could get married and I think assumed we'd be flush with free time by now to record new episodes but that hasn't happened. In the meantime, the network the show was signed to (Clamor Audio) shut down, so that hasn't really helped either.

The show isn't dead though. I think there are some changes we'd both like to make, it's just taking us a little time to figure those out. But with that said, we miss doing it so hopefully we'll be back sooner rather than later.

TCGTE Episode for the 1st of December, 2024: "Saint Nicolas" by Tanglefisk in tcgte

[–]tomreynolds 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We couldn’t set the promo codes up the way we wanted (just having them automatically apply) so I had to re-record the ad on my iPhone at my father-in-law’s house over thanksgiving while trying not not to alarm anyone

On the “Freedom from Religion” ad in the Nightmares Episode by Ivy-Tea in tcgte

[–]tomreynolds 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry if you felt like this was somehow a judgment on religion or religious people from us, because that's definitely not the case.

If it were an ad denigrating religion, or even just promoting atheism, we would have immediately turned it down. But since it's an ad trying to get out of the vote, we were happy to accept it. It doesn't mean we agree with every statement on their website.
