All grown up now. I made the podcast Broomgate: A Curling Scandal and I wrote a book about curling (pinned) and I tell jokes sometimes. Podcasts: @jeopardypodcast.bsky.social @thepodkast.bsky.social @blockedparty.bsky.social
A lot of the nu-metal bands recognized their fans were kids, but none of them referred to where the audience was coming from specifically, and certainly none of them talked like this
Hm interesting. Could I be selected to try the thing where you wipe all AI prompts from all of my Google workspaces and I don’t have to go through like 5 steps to do it
I like Olivia and I like the direction that style of pop music is going but every time she releases a new album it makes me think of this queen who was miles before her time. If this album came out in 2023 she'd be selling out arenas. No chance Dan Nigro hasn't studied this text extensively
Wife and I are just finishing up our marathon watch of Taskmaster, watching all 20 series pretty much in a row over the last number of months. With respect to S21 still in progress, here is my ranking of the 100 players in the first 20 seasons. I think you'll find it is perfect
If you don’t have a friend who will do the entire coda of “Dirty World” by the Traveling Wilburys with you in picture form just because they walked past a “parts and service” sign, do you really have any friends at all?
I know that there's a thing I say a lot which is "wow this episode featured the craziest quote we've ever covered" but wow this episode featured the craziest quote we've ever covered
Like this is the album cover. This guy was in the fuckin Ramones and then goes to rehab one time and comes out dressing like this and rapping in German with Debbie Harry singing backup vocals for some reason. He was in The Ramones! And everyone was just like "yep, this is good"
I think Joe Buck is a great choice for Sports Jeopardy!. I ranked all 16 of the guest hosts in the wake of Alex's passing and had Joe Buck at #5. Should be a seamless fit to do a sports version of the show. This is what I wrote at the time:
Stefan and I don't talk about Dutch posting much anymore but this is the purest example of the form. I'm in tears (for context if you're unaware, Isabella Wranå is a Swedish curler)
I normally don’t enjoy these things but kinda can’t believe how good this cover of “Re-Arranged” by Limp Bizkit is. The band Tors makes it into this Fleet Fox-y thing and it fuckin slaps youtu.be/vlUK0wfKsTY?...
Feeling bad for the guy who has to dress up as David Draiman in his Disturbed cover band
Just in time for Christmas, my favourite albums of 2025. Deftones is in first by a LOT, I listened to that record maybe more than all the rest combined. But some solid albums this year. Great work everybody
I’m at Hell’s Kitchen in Tahoe and they have 3 TVs over the bar, none of which are playing sports but all of which are playing different episodes of Hell’s Kitchen
Rory Uphold is BACK! We love Rory! Also, just to be clear, BP Classics are brand-new episodes and not old episodes we are reposting on the bonus feed for money. They are new episodes with the "classic" BP main episode format. Seems like at least one Patreon exit survey guy did not understand that.
Thinking I might fuck around and go live in 15 minutes with another edition of the Jeopardy! 64 MUST BUZZ Challenge. It’s where I play the game but I have to buzz in on every clue and bet the maximum on every wagering clue. Join me! Twitch.tv/cullensbasement
I think this might be the biggest crowd they’ve played to in a bit. On the POD Kast we found one of the venues they played on this tour. It’s uhh, to the right of “Asian Cuisines”
Just read this in a Slipknot article we read for @thepodkast.bsky.social from 2000 and now I’m thinking it might have been a stinkbomb
