Today? Yeah, we’re taking on some listener voicemails. If you aren’t familiar, our hotline number is (800) 836-0235 and we listen to every voicemail. If it’s good enough? Well, we’ll play it. If it sucks? Well, we still might play it and make fun of you.
Anyway, let’s get down to business.
Here’s how these open threads work: We post prompts, you comment, and one of three things happens – we discuss on the podcast, we ignore it completely, you pass time on the site where you’d otherwise be reading content with time spent reading and contributing to the open thread. Because we’ve got a voicemail-heavy podcast today, no promises on what will get discussed but please note that we are archiving the best questions for future use so don’t be shy.
This Weeks Prompts
1. If you’re at an open bar, what’s your go-to order?
2. Give us your best pitch for a segment on Touching Base.
3. What questions do you have for this week’s podcast?
Keep an eye out for today’s episode which should release shortly after taping. Deal closers only. .
Respond
1. Work OB: Woodford, Non-Work OB: Endless Voddy Sodas
2. New Seg: The Courthouse w/ Crime Dog: Dave discusses some obscure Texas laws and/or stories from his lawyer days.
3. What was your go-to TV show as a kid?
Answer my question from last week you cucks.
Would you rather attend every home game to your local women’s professional basketball game for the rest of you life, sober, without any technology. Or lose the pinky on your non dominant hand.
Also if the 69th podcast is coming up soon invite Liv from Onnit back and tell her I say sup. She’ll know what I’m talking about
After a handful of games, wouldn’t someone who likes sports eventually become invested?
I enjoy watching football and basketball games at my wife’s high school.
Feel like I should clarify – my wife is a teacher there, not a student.
lol’d
No booze? Take the pinkie.
1. Beer. If I try to trust myself with unlimited liquor I turn into a monster.
2. Worst take of the week. You find the worst take on any opinion column out on the internet and just rip it to pieces.
3. Are you ever going to make Micah get on the mic and defend this “I don’t like American cinema” thing he has?
1) Miller Lite for the first few and then switching to vodka soda. Cruise control for the rest of the night.
2) A segment called Drunk Thoughts.
3) Who at Grandex has equity in the company?
seconded to all of this
1. If you’re at an open bar, what’s your go-to order?
If we are going with a mixed drink it is an old fashioned. If there are some higher end options gotta go with Scotch on the rocks
2. Give us your best pitch for a segment on Touching Base.
A knock off of Comedian in Cars Getting Coffee, “Dudes in Miata’s Touching Base” Anytime you have a guest on the cast hop in the company Miata (Step 1: buy a company Miata) and cruise around town and touch base.
3. What questions do you have for this week’s podcast?
If you had unlimited funds for a one week vacation, where would that be?
Coughed up my drink at my desk at Step 1: buy a company Miata.
1. Jim Beam and coke. I’m not fancy enough for the good stuff, don’t wanna seem pretentious, but can’t go back to anything worse than Jimmy.
2. Stealing a segment from the Inside TFM podcast, a “Hot Take of the Week” segment from one of you three (not Will, because his takes are lukewarm).
3. How much can you enjoy craft beer before you become “insufferable craft beer snob guy?”
We’re toying with the idea of switching up “No Offense, But…” which would fill the Hot Take of the Week void. Stay tuned, stay turnt.
1. Maker’s on the rocks. Most bars will have it and ensures I start out strong but not too fast.
2. Talkin’ Deal Sleds. Spend some time on the pod talking about shoes, for work, golf or weekend.
3. If you could have a vacation home anywhere, where would it be?
1. I can’t be trusted at an open bar so I usually only have 2-3 hard liquor drinks then switch to beer. That’s on a night I make good decisions.
2. Not a segment for the podcast but for PGP, Pet of the Week on Mondays so they don’t suck so much. Seeing a cute pup makes everyone happy.
3. What is the worst thing a roommate has ever done? For example I had a roommate who was a pathological liar who got into all the utility accounts under my name and changed the email address to her so she could pay them with her CC to get the points. She did this without asking and I had known her 3 weeks. She also said she had 3 masters degrees and a law degree.
2nd the Pet of the Week column. Twist: the pet shown is owned by a PGP User.
That’s what I was thinking. Submit photos and fill out a Pet interview, give those interns more work.
I would be willing to submit my pup weekly until he is selected.
He is a great looking pup
2. Not a new segment but can you please bring back “No offense but…”?
When is the wine tasting podcast?
We’ve dragged our feet so hard on this. Start berating Micah on Twitter to coordinate it since the three of us clearly are too lazy.
Ham says it will happen after your Whole 30. Is a Live Sizzle Podcast an option? Or how about a Texas Whiskey tasting podcast?
