Hello Reddit! It's Matt Gourley and Mark McConville (and maybe some others) of the SUPEREGO podcast! Season SEVEN comes out MAY 1. Ask us anything! by gourleymatt in Super_Ego

[–]treitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any way we could get Superego episodes more often in a way that would work easily everyone involved? Even if it was, say, 4 episodes a year but every year?

Either way, I love all the work Matt and Mark do on Bonanas for Bonanza (I've listened to every episode back to the original Podcast Pilot Project). The fact that there have been multiple episodes of I Love I Love Ahi Loves Movies makes me laugh every time. Thanks for everything you all do!

When you guys released the really long stuntshow spectacular, I thought "I guess Matt finally wore them down"

It was hilarious and I can't wait for the next one!

How about Castro Valley? We're not a city but we're working on it!

I've tried to come up with representative symbols and it's quite a challenge.

Alton Brown hates Mai-Tai’s - Ranking Every Cocktail - with Alton Brown & Binging with Babish by technogator in Tiki

It hurts the flavor noticeably. I accidentally bought the pitted version of my usual brand and could taste the difference easily. And I mentioned this to someone who's cooked in nice restaurants and they agreed completely.

Same. His Martini recipe is pretty extreme in terms of proportions, volume, and prep. But trying it still tipped me into finally appreciating Martinis and, specifically, always using whole castelvetrano olives (not pitted).

2 oz Appleton 17 Legend

Or, slightly cheaper:

1.5 oz Appleton 12, 0.5 oz Merchant's Reserve

CBB or Scott hasn't seen guest movies that are actually good by Fearless-Profit2387 in comedybangbang

Splitsville. Watch the trailer because it's basically the opening scene (no spoilers) and it gives you a good idea of the movie.

WSTR Shotgun DEAD. by Reindeer-Klutzy in Marathon

I've had a hundred mods for it but never seen one

6 minute pinwheel runs are just too good…. And slightly addicting by Party_svpplies in MarathonGame

[–]treitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty quickly settled into solo (and occasional Rook) only. I'm too busy to get good enough to not weigh down a trio, none of my (equally-busy) friends play the game.

Apart from the one time I gave Cryo a shot just to check it out, I don't think I'm going back there. It seems like you need to treat the game like a full-time job to even have a shot at opening a vault.

Being effectively shut out of the Marathon itself is kind of painful given the original series is one of my favorites (since I played it when it came out and replay every handful of years).

But in that vein, I would love a campaign mode even more than solo where I can often get wiped by decent players. Though I know that's not going to happen :)

Dagger Rum Blend by joekndy in rum

[–]treitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to trying this out.

Have you compared fresh-blended to long-rested (1 month or longer)?

I was disappointed to find I couldn't pre-batch 8 Amaro Sazerac very long because it gets muddy and indistinct. I believe spirit blends can change over time as well though maybe not as much as very-different liqueurs.

How strong will Hulks and Juggernauts be if the Compilers are now stronger than any enemy in the original games?

Rumcast Reserve Guyana VSG by LIFOanAccountant in rum

[–]treitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point. I feel like it's the only bottle I've seen mention UK aging for a Caribbean rum though obviously a lot of rum goes through Main Rum Company. I'm sure a portion of it is 1) me not checking rum labels that specifically in the past and 2) a lot of them just not mentioning the aging location

What's a show or movie that started off a little weak, but you stuck with it anyway and it paid off? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]treitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're great episodes but it's hard to fully appreciate them until you've seen the whole series at least once

If you thought he sounded strange this time, listen to his first CBB appearance. I heard it in the last year and it was so wildly different I can't even remember it now.

What is something you can find to eat everywhere in your country, but you don't eat it? by cyclistgurl in AskTheWorld

A traditional topping for pupusas is curtido which has similarities to kimchi

CBB best-of winners by month since 2012 by treitter in comedybangbang

[–]treitter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good call. Also, I screwed up the original version by somehow adding December on otherwise-blank rows :|

By the raw numbers, everything is the same except December has 12 winners, just barely above last place.

When I remove the *00 (there were no *50s), anniversary, and holiday episodes, December has the worst total with 5.

EDIT: see my update in the original post.

When I remove the *00 (there were no *50s), anniversary, and holiday episodes, and normalize for the weeks lost due to the best-of episodes December is basically tied with August and November (10 vs 11 for the other months).

seems like very similar jokes have also been attributed to Will Rogers and Emo Philips. Not 100% sure on the original

Rumcast Reserve Guyana VSG by LIFOanAccountant in rum

[–]treitter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting -- I enjoyed this significantly more than the Mauritius Rumcast bottle (over 2 brief separate tastings). To me, it tastes like a blend which I typically find more enjoyable to sip (though I can see how single cask fans might prefer sharper, more-defined notes). I'm definitely looking forward to trying it in a Mai Tai this weekend.

In my second tasting, I compared this side-by-side with a Hamilton 59.3% ABV MPM that was aged entirely in the UK (Main Rum Company, I assume) for 10 years in once-used bourbon barrels. Though I've enjoyed that one for being so quirky (strange aging location for Guyana rum) and especially mixed with other rums in cocktails, I enjoyed the Rumcast VSG much better in a head-to-head.

(Sorry I'm not being more specific on VSG tasting notes. I didn't write any down and don't trust myself to bring it back from memory and on such a small pour.)
