2024-02-04 19:00:27 +0000 UTCI used to love watching Jeopardy (there was a site where you could watch old episodes for free), partially because I'm pretty good with trivia myself, and partially just to admire how quickly some people can figure out the answers. I especially enjoy the questions dealing with rhyming schemes and stuff like that. Those are often fun because I think anyone could figure out the answers if given enough time, so the goal is to try to "get" them as fast as possible, and see if you can beat the contestants.

2024-02-03 17:10:32 +0000 UTCYou still have to have a beginning, middle, and end. If it is too loose then what? Just on some tangent and then the feed goes dark? Gotta be able to say good bye and wrap it up. It’s more akin to a talk show than anything. It’s the modern version of cable access

ZeBendix
2024-02-03 11:30:31 +0000 UTCHe's recently claimed that the Jan 6 riots were a false flag. Prior to that, his show was a breeding ground of COVID-19 conspiracy theories--straight up having a quack on his show to punch up his nonsense. He also claimed (a few years ago--his stance may have changed), that men can't be raped. He's also friends with, and has had regularly on his show, Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro--far-right, reactionary bigots who get treated with kid gloves and are allowed to spew whatever nonsense they want. Rogan's own anti-woke/anti-SJW schtick should be enough to give anyone pause and scrutinize his creepy relationships. I typed up a far, far longer answer, but I don't feel it's the time and place for it. To sum it up: he's a useful idiot who is cooed by any contrarian stance that appeals to his libertarian-brained views. And that leads to platforming a host of problematic people with incredibly problematic views.

2024-02-03 06:54:02 +0000 UTCInspired by some of what moshe was talking about with language between children, I recommend the documentary “Poto and Cabengo” about identical twins who invented a language as children. One of my favorites.

2024-02-03 06:25:45 +0000 UTCHappy people are more aware of testing nowadays, but it still needs to be talked about more. I have friends that give their kids tests for fentanyl because they know they are experimenting with drugs. It’s important.

2024-02-03 05:43:13 +0000 UTCVery cool to see DJ Harrison with the trinity. Everyone here should check out his band Buicher Brown, the guy is a legend.
WL
2024-02-03 03:39:39 +0000 UTCTo the people who are put off by Tim's heckling: Are we watching the same show?? I've only watched 17 episodes of OHL in my whole life and even ~I~ can tell that testy Tim is part of the diverse tapestry that is OHL’s humor. I present to you Exhibit A: Mark Proksch. But I’ll let it slide if you’re doing a bit since Tim might be biting at the bit to chomp into all of that for his birthday blog post. If so, then: Great Job! 🍝 (Also for more threads about OHL’s humor, come join the OHL Discord ✨)

2024-02-03 02:02:30 +0000 UTCOnly Connect is incredible, a lot of UK/Euro centric content obviously, but it is fascinating watching people figure some of that stuff out. Everyone once in a while there'll be an easy US sports question that stumps all the contestants that makes you feel better.

Lyndon Beckner
2024-02-02 23:22:12 +0000 UTCThat episode with Dr. Sex is my all time favourite! Also, the one where Tim and Vic are at the Hilton in Medford. Something about Tim being remote just cranks it up a notch. I always look forward to them.
westend_td
2024-02-02 23:10:25 +0000 UTCThere is something about it that creates magic. Tim calling in from NYC was an all timer. I go back to it a lot. Tim and Doug doing the Simon and Garfunkel bit with Garf going to Paul Simon’s wedding makes me cry.

Scott
2024-02-02 20:48:22 +0000 UTCNo that's just the time lag of calling in via webcam, which itself is infuriating XD which Tim played off as not being able to control the room. You get the same awkwardness from zoomers, always a second off, but this show exists on awkwardness.
ToddUmptious
2024-02-02 20:26:23 +0000 UTCAnyone who can block and direct this madness each week should be commended 07 Perhaps an OHL medal ceremony is in order? Medals for the movers and shakers and medals for the ever stun-locked, medals for all!
ToddUmptious
2024-02-02 20:24:03 +0000 UTCI think it was the right move though! I’m sure it was just parallel thinking but Doug would definitely be miffed if he did one of his great segments and another show did the same thing days later

2024-02-02 18:26:50 +0000 UTCVisited the building where the Wannsee Conference took place on a history trip and I dont believe in *energies* or anything like that but it was like the building had a truly like. Evil feeling to it. Probably because we all knew what happened there, but pure sense of dread upon arrival. It's been turned into a museum / education centre now, it's a place that creates a lot of emotion definitely.
abi harding
2024-02-02 18:24:27 +0000 UTCPutting the kibosh on Doug's game to review a movie was a bold move
Kevin
2024-02-02 18:03:19 +0000 UTCHe's the world's most credulous dummy and he just so happens to have one of the biggest platforms in the world. So that means, thanks to him, hateful dipshits continue to have unprecedented reach to spew their garbage. And he just sits there and nods.

2024-02-02 15:14:24 +0000 UTCI work in an office, but we recently did CPR training. I was impressed the folks doing the training also highlighted the toxic drug crisis, the importance of testing, recognizing an overdose, and what to do. Even if you don't use, it's good to know. You could save a life!

2024-02-02 15:12:28 +0000 UTCirst time commenting- a great rec I have is an Irish artist named CMAT. Seeing her in Brooklyn this spring. She has a new album out and it’s sensational and she’s electric on stage.Even if you’re not a fan her music- her live shows are unreal. My top picks off the album are Can’t Make Up My Mind and Torn Apart. Her first album is also great . My dream is one day she performs on the pod. It’s a long shot but I’m putting it out there!
Genevieve
2024-02-02 15:04:30 +0000 UTCREC: I feel like immigrant/ 2nd gen stories arent told enough and there is some beautiful stuff for "Late Bloomer" with famous youtuber Jus Reign. Similar to 'Rami', 'master of none', (in terms of 1st and 2nd gen immigration stores) etc; its truely wonderflul. I feel like this will fly under the radar for a bunch of people that might otherwise love it. I'm a white dude but im in toronto and its pretty damn diverse. A lot of not-white friends i guess. And theres some universal themes of course. But check it out, everyone, "Late Bloomer" - Jus Reign. TIM im curious what you thought of Toronto. And was your travel / rides paid for and did you have any awesome food and what was your fave thing. CHEERS
Matt James
2024-02-02 14:45:55 +0000 UTCCan’t speak for Tim obviously but imo the fact he has these right wing grifters and loons on his show where they can talk shit/ lies for hours with any push back at all is reason enough not to like him. That and he is close friends with really bad people - Brian Callen, Chis Delia to name but a few
Beeman
2024-02-02 13:49:33 +0000 UTCPeace and love Vic. You’re still one of the sharpest, funniest, and most creative people I’ve ever known. Your drops always accentuate and uplift the comedy on OHL
Daniel Miller
2024-02-02 13:27:21 +0000 UTCI don't know what happens to the crew when Tim zooms in remotely, but I always find these shows to be the most entertaining! Tim is always a little loopy and his interactions with Doug are hilarious. I re-listen to these shows most often. And DJ Harrison is just amazing!
westend_td
2024-02-02 13:15:59 +0000 UTCShout out to the rec for Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu. Such an incredible series! I was recommended it by an artist I was working with in Beijing in 2019, and have been trying to push it to everyone I know since then. I sure hope the new Netflix series does it justice and turns more people onto it, because it really is profoundly insightful and fascinating.

2024-02-02 01:26:17 +0000 UTConly connect is amazing! for context, you're watching the series finale, so it's especially hard. and the show is known for being especially hard generally. the host is fantastic, too - she's from a family of 'humorists,' she's married to david mitchell (peep show, upstart crow, several sketch comedy series), and she's a world champion poker player
marshy
2024-02-02 01:12:43 +0000 UTCFelt like Tim seemed to be in a bad mood the majority of this episode. Whole episode felt kinda tense and not as fun and loose as usual.
Brandon Jeffries
2024-02-02 00:14:55 +0000 UTCI like the show, and I've been a member for a long time. But why is Tim (and cap Carlin, thankfully now to a much lesser degree) always trying to move the show forward? Move along to what exactly? Isn't the point of the whole thing doing these non-sensical funny back and forths riffings between the people in the room? I may be out of my depth here, but I thought this was a comedy podcast, peppered with some absolutely great musical guests.

Jon Hioki
2024-02-01 22:32:45 +0000 UTCThe "I can have a dialogue with people I disagree with" is kinda disingenuous here. Rogan has a massive platform and reach, so it's about selling books on this promotional tour than being virtuous. The dude isn't a good guy, so morally I find it gross. Anyways, peace and love.
