i wish i could understand the appeal of listening to people sitting around flapping their faceholes about pointless shit

[–] SteveFromMySpace@lemmy.blahaj.zone 185 points 3 months ago (35 children)

The trick is to avoid shows that don’t have a clear objective unless they are comedians who are actually funny most of the time. “Three friends just sitting around talking about life, the universe, and everything!” -like descriptions are a major red flag. Extra deductions if their logo shows a glass of whiskey or a beer.

That was my entire idea for a podcast. Thanks for shitting on my dream. I guess I'll never start it now.

With that attitude, better become a Musician pronto

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 47 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Funny you should say that. I'm already a terrible musician. I've got a solo gig and a band gig this weekend. I just wanted the podcast to complete my middle aged white dude punch card because my cargo shorts just got here the other day.

Two gigs in the same weekend? Who's going to keep an eye on the smoker?!

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I am an actual cliche. Dang.

I'll have everything prepped to start it up drunk at 2am on Sunday morning. This ain't my first rodeo and my brisket will be ready to slice by dinner Sunday evening.

Sounds like you’ve got an awesome weekend in store!

Cliches are often very powerful and hold a lot of potential for talent.

You'd look way cooler in something fast and shiny...

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

My motorcycle is plenty shiny and fast.

Seriously, my superhero name should be Average Middle Aged White Dude. The only thing I'm not doing is getting more conservative as I get older.

I guess I'm going to have to wear some white tube socks with my slides and saying shit like "Working hard or hardly working?"

[–] SteveFromMySpace@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Apparently Gen Z is all about long socks now and only old people wear ankle socks lmao

[–] ZarkleFarkle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Socks are weird in general for so many reasons and at so many different levels.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How else should I prevent my thongs from chafing?

[–] ZarkleFarkle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Interesting question.

Socks should ideally have some kind of internal smoothness that prevents discomfort. Ridges in awkward positions would probably make your senses play up.

Where we at with video games?

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

BG3 occasionally, Elden Ring once a week, and once a month or so I'll break out a classic NES or SNES game. Plus I play Battle for Wesnoth with dad when he's not on the road.
