...I’m going to actually totally agree with your take here. Everyone should listen to the podcast as a perfect primer of “what not to do” and because it is like a trainwreck you can’t pull yourself away from.

Perhaps this is pure fan theory but this is what I always believed:

Yeah, it’s a different strokes for different folks thing, I think. I know with MFM it’s like talking true crime with my friends, with Casefile and Criminal it’s pretty well researched stuff and LPOTL is somewhere in the middle (while they’re absolutely feral boys, Markus does quite a bit of research and it shows.)

I’ve literally never heard them fawn over the murderers, but okay. 

Megustalations!

Going to have a bone to pick about some of these. Up and Vanished and Atlanta Monster are both questionable because of Payne Lindsey. 100%. I listened to ALL of Up and Vanished and the amount of patting himself on the back Lindsey does is actually so frustrating and disgusting I can’t believe it. And I’m personally…

Don’t Look Back In Anger is the only Oasis song that holds up.

I’ll go to the grave defending Slaughterhouse V, but I’m with you on the other stuff. 

I’ll give NIN credit, I’m a little younger than the target audience here (I do remember when Jagged Little Pill came out because my dad thought she was awesome.) but they happened to be playing a music festival I was at so I caught their show? I had never cared about NIN before, but gosh, they’re really great live and…

They literally abandoned google fiber in Louisville after burying lines 2 inches higher then recommended and tearing up the roads. It’s even mentioned in this article. Maybe I’m incredibly bitter since I’m in Kentucky as well (not in Louisville, but I still really care about it.) 

I clicked on this article to say this. Gorgeous. Fantastic job, Angelica! 

Too poor for a newer car/old car runs fine and they don’t need a newer car would be my first answer since I drove cassettes around for a good long time. In some ways I miss them (well only because when that car got totaled in a wreck I forgot to get my very good cassette collection out of it because I am stupid.) 

I’d probably agree with you unless they only have a cassette player in their car or something. 

I feel like when she’s working with others (Rilo Kiley, Jenny and Johnny, and Rabbit Fur Coat (since it features the watson twins I’m going to say that it’s not solo?)) I think she’s better. This is the way for a lot of people. Stevie Nicks is fine solo, but she’s no Rumours (or even Tusk) solo.

I really like listening to whole albums (well, not so much “because of the parameters” but I agree with her that that’s the way to fall in love with an album and if you need cassettes or CDs to not wander around, that’s fine) Is the cassette too precious?

Those things are really really bad. I’ll give you that. But I’ll say this-- raping children is worse. 

I really respect Al Jean for the call he made. I mean, it was the first episode of his first season as co-show runner. It’s a hard professional call to make to say that the thing that at one point you were so proud of... was all a lie and that you were being used. That’s shitty. Certainly not as shitty as the other…

This is why I own Stardew Valley on, like, 4 things. 

I’m rooting for you. ESPECIALLY when it comes to driving.
