OT: Cole's Coffee Shop: Let's talk internet in the 90s

[Big McLargehuge]

Yeah, he and The Nostalgia Critic have been YouTube mainstays for me for years. Impressive they're both still making quality stuff after all these years.


Steering thing towards YT now...brutalmoose is probably my favorite channel right now. Also a red panda who reminds me of this board from a couple years ago

Alright - i'll take all your recommendations (Other than Ogre and HSL) for YouTube/Podcasts. I'm in. Here's what I check-in on week to week. Give me some of yours.

- Seth Fowler: Just a shoe guy who also streams some games. Really down to earth and not a typical dbag hype guy. Stresses importance of buying/wearing what you like and gives legit reviews of what is coming out. A must follow if you are looking to buy limited release shoes. Especially for quality/sizing and getting a feel for if it will sell out or not.

- Whatculture Wrestling/Cultaholic/Wrestling with Wregret: All 3 are youtubers who put out reviews/what not of wrestling. I don't have time to watch 5+ hours a week so a nice 10-15 minute enjoyable review or podcast forum is simple to listen to and keep up.

- Cinemassacre(AVGN)/ Pat the NES Punk/ ProJared: AVGN for the videos/reviews and Pat the NES Punk has a few podcasts on retro gaming that are enjoyable to listen to. If you want to remember the past and enjoy listening to collectors - definitely perfect for retro gaming. ProJared does a lot of retro playthroughs and it's enjoyable to watch. Especially stuff like Final Fantasy 1/2/3 (US numbers).

Other than that I pop around some of Bill Burr's podcasts because he's psycho/funny. It is just nice stuff to listen to when you want to fall asleep with some noise.

Oh and Metal Jesus had a terrific podcast before about his early days of working for Sierra. That was during the time I played their game "The Realm". He's a game collector. Very informative. Very down to earth. I love listening to retro gaming stuff even though I am not a collector or player.

I almost hate to let Cole know I like AVGN. Almost.

I think Laser Time has a wrestling podcast. Their almost universal love of wrestling is the one thing about them that I don't agree with

I like ProJared a decent bit. The Normal Boots crew is generally good (brutalmooooooooooooooooooooooose).

Re: The Kitchen Sisters

Basically, they go and find really awesome underground/forgotten stories about food or American (occasionally European) culture and then they go and interview people. They're oral histories, essentially, mostly about food though.

I'll try that one as well! I wrote my thesis on food in Civil Rights themed novels, so finally my research comes in handy

 

[Tom Hanks]

I think I might go through all of my things this weekend and throw or give away a bunch of stuff. I don’t have a lot of stuff but I feel like my place still gets cluttered and I hate that.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I haven't watched AVGN in years, that was an early high school and middle school thing for me. I'm kinda shocked he's still making videos, he was definitely popular in like 2008.

I don't watch too many serious gaming critics, the closest I have is Dunkey and I just watch him for the humor. I'm much more into history channels and informative channels. CGP Grey, AlternateHistoryHub, RealLifeLore, Dude Perfect, UrinatingTree, Riddle, Dunkey and Kurzgesagt are the channels I'm subscribed to.

Edit: I forgot to include Casually Explained and Commentiquette, I'm also subscribed to that.

What do people drink before/during/after working out?

Before? Nothing. I do eat something that would help me during my workout. Like I'll have 3 eggs and two toast an hour before the gym, or 45mins before. Then during my gym, I sip on my water with BCAA's in them, after the gym, I have my protein shake (Isolate, absorbs better), then after an hour of the shake, I eat my dinner. As a snack before bed, I usually have a cup of lactose free cottage cheese, greek yogurt, and some sliced banana's.

Your body absorbs 30g of protein during an hour, if you go nuts with protein right after your workout, it's kind of a waste. Your body can't magically absorb a ton more right away but it is important to get what it needs, usually when you start working out, you get hungrier for more food, listen to your body. Smaller meals isn't a bad thing, but the whole counting macro's and whatever, I've never been in to that. I just know what holds what value and go with that, has worked well for me for over 20yrs.

I enjoyed the Serial podcast, especially Shit town. S-Town Podcast It is definitely not for everybody though.
I just started listening to 99% Invisible a month or 2 ago. So far so good.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

I definitely still watch all AVGN stuff. I actually like his normal videos. His movie reviews are fair and I like his acceptance that everyone is different and it's all subjective. James/Mike Mondays are good. BoardJames was great. He puts out great content. Definitely worth my time when it's late and I am bored/want to watch some stuff.

I do this too.

Joe Rogan Experience Podcast (JRE).

Rugby is a lot of fun. I was a winger for exactly 4 games until I snapped my tibia against one of the Chicago AOH teams.

So, I switched to judo, it was safer.

I’ve been meaning to find some food ones and I’m checking this one out. If it’s bad I blame you.


If it’s more story podcasts then there’s We’re Alive (zombies) and Wolf 359 (space).

They're not ALWAYS about food, but a lot of them are. But I hope you enjoy them!

Jokes aside, I probably will. Have you, or anyone, listened to Burnt Toast?

Adventure Time is back for its last season.

Tango & Cash, that van at the end, lol...I forgot what Hollywood thought was futuristic "awesome" tech.

Good movie. Loved it as a kid. Haven’t seen it in a while though. Teri Hatcher looked pretty good back then too.

Teri Hatcher still looks good.

There will never be a time where Teri Hatcher won't look good. 70yr old Teri Hatcher will be a Gilf.

At least Marin has made it interesting now, I may stay awake

Fed really needs to get a sponsorship deal with Kleenex

Both Thursday night and last night I've passed out on my couch. This isn't good for my back.

Not the first time I've heard a story like that I've been lucky in my twenty years but right now, it doesn't feel that way. It feels like a maniac attacked my legs with a potato peeler.

Always wished I'd tried judo.

No. Another food podcast?
