The longest thread ever

[OldPhiKap]

I want to start a podcast with a couple of friends. The plan is to talk about 1 romcom and 1 heist movie per podcast. Our first initials are J, K, and L. We haven't yet come up with a name that keeps the letters in order, so far we are the Klepto Love Jockeys. Limited appeal, to be sure, but we don't really care. The point won't be for other people to listen, unless they want to. We just want to get together and talk about our love for these 2 kinds of films.

Just Keep Laughing?

But — who wouldn’t turn in to hear the Klepto Love Jockeys, really?

There has to be a pun in here somewhere. Not that it ever needs to be uttered...

Interesting, you have your own wood chipper...

The Carole Baskin of DBR. Or maybe he lives in Fargo.

There are now signs up all around my property that clearly read: "Property of Joe Exotic." Punishment for trespassing? The woodchipper.

Nah, wood-chipper belonged to a tree company that took down two Austrian Pines. They chipped it, I shoveled, wheelbarrow-ed and raked the result.

I wouldn't mind a wood-chipper but I've never been a guy to invest in that kind of stuff and lord knows when my neighbors say they're getting out their tools for spring cleaning, oiling, and sharpening, I usually think, "that sounds like a good idea", and go about my day.

You know that Matthew McConaughey has a clothing line called JKL, right? That seems almost too perfect given half of your subject matter...

...because you'll have to discuss Mr. McConaughey's inability to stand on his own.

I get Klepto. I get Love. But Jockey? Will you also be reviewing horse racing movies? So, like, just switching Sea Biscuit and Secretariat every other pod?

Covid-19 starting to hit close to home. An employee at the grocery store I go to tested positive and an employee I used to see at the local Costco passed away.

It's hard not to be paranoid at this point. Beteeen people posting about not having left home in 21 days and getting Covid-19 to people going to a few grocery stores and being dead 26 days later it can get depressing.

But hey, you don't have regular access to the wood chipper, so there is that bit of safety.

Oh yeah. I'm our designated errand runner and we've got a 3 month old in the house. I go through quite a decontamination process coming back from my once every 10-14 day trips to the grocery store. Plenty of healthy paranoia, just not of the wood-chipper variety...


...at least at our house. I have seen some marital homicide stories surface in which the husband blamed his wife's death on coronavirus. Lots of sad stories to go around right now but among them is the horrifying spike in domestic spouse and child abuse.

My paranoia ia based on not focusing enough on this.

I am a huge fan of Dan Carlin’s Hardcore Histories. Long, but phenomenal.

Interesting, I'll have to check it out. You're right, some of the episodes are 3+ hours long. Which is an interesting approach, the reason I tend to listen to podcasts are due to their shorter formats(my preference is between 30 and 45 minutes.)

Anyone have some Pontiac parts they don't need? Mainly looking for engine stuff...

Mainly looking for engine stuff...

Valley pan, water pump and timing cover parts, etc.

And yes, I used SPF 30 this time.

Fair but there are a few mistakes I've learned are worth repeating! Most not though. Most...

Dagnabit, it won't play here.
