    Hey Everyone,

     

    Thanks for all your awesome well wishes. You are all the best listeners in the entire podcast world.

     

    I know 99.9% of you totally get where we are coming from but I just want to be clear the cut down in episodes is a temporary thing...We're currently trying to bank a bunch beforehand. Hopefully we'll be back to normal soon but since we don't know exactly when we are having the kid (Could come early, late, or right on time) We want to cover our bases and not go unexpectedly dark, so we are starting this a pre-emptive measure. Basically this is our attempt to deliver the show consistently and the way we want to do it, with the 3 of us. So thanks for being understanding and I guarantee that we'll be doing some cool content during this period, including NEW episodes.

     

    But now I will share the only negative reaction I got this news and it really made me laugh.

    As someone who use to donate monthly to this podcast, and support it by signing up for the "advertisements" listed on the website I regret to say I will no longer be doing this. With the announcement that the shows will be cut back because they are having a child almost seems like a slap in the face of the fans. Is it hard to hire a baby sitter for an hour or two? As they are both actors they will already have to more then likely hire a nanny as I doubt they'll be bringing their child on set with them when they film their TV series, or do other engaging things as actors. This is the equivalent to someone having a child and telling their boss their going to cut their hours down by half, how much of an asset is that person to their job now? I LOVED this podcast, it was easily one of the best podcasts out there. But only having a single podcast(mini episodes don't count since its just ad's and reading non sense questions off of Facebook) is death to any podcast, and shows a lack

    of interest of that podcast. It's one thing to have it be a hobby of yours, but if that was the case there wouldn't be advertising non stop, and merchandise for sale. I'm all for being compensated for talent and time, don't get me wrong on that. But either you're in, or you're out, and it seems like they have one foot in and one foot out. Great they might be starting a new podcast! But we don't want a new podcast, we like HDTGM, and the format offered. This just seems like some horrible idea of offering something that'll stop fans from jumping ship. It just doesn't seem worth it paying monthly for something that's being cut in half, and I doubt I'm the only one feeling this way. Thanks for the hours of entertainment, but in this day and age when there's thousands of quality podcasts, you need to give it %100 not %50.

     

    I don't even want to address the concerns above but I will because I'm bored and the fact the listener didn't sign his/her name means I can't address them directly.

     

    1.) Re: "Telling their boss they are going to cut their hours down by 1/2" - I guess this person has never heard of maternity leave?

     

    2.) Re: "Mini's don't count" -- SAD FACE EMOTICON -- Also I think the ratio of ads to content in those is pretty light, about 1 minute of pre-roll and about 30 minutes of commercial free time. THat's better than JackFM!

     

    3.) Re: New Podcast -- Nothing is replacing HDTGM but we've talked in the past about trying something along the lines of the guest-less episodes of Nerdist and thought this could be a fun thing to try. If we all took that advice to stick with one format than you'd never get cool spin-off shows like Analyze Phish, Dead Authors Podcast, James Bonding, and basically Kevin Smith's whole network)

     

    4.) 100% vs 50% -- My response is take your own advice if you want to write a dicky email sign it with your actual email don't be a 50% dick be a 100% one.

     

    Anyway..Let HULKMANIA begin!

     

    I think I speak for everyone here when I say, fuck that guy, I hope "Butterfinger" rapes him. Paul, am I unhappy about perhaps having less episodes of HDTGM, of course, but I understand 100% and wish nothing but the best for you and June.

     

    You have given us so much and while there are those who may take it for granted, I think the majority of the forums are stoked that "Hudson" (if its a boy), "Barb Wire" (if its a girl), or "Angela" (if its a boygirl) will soon be entering this world. Congratulations and keep being awesome

     

    PS: Holy shit, I just realized you could name Zouks the "Godfather" and have an amazing movie idea

    Also, Costner seemingly has a good relationship with one of the characters because he too is a father, but he continually is shooting at him/ throwing him in a trunk/ ramming him with a car.

     

    Oh and one more thing, am I the only one who thought this movie is set up like a love (sexual) story between KC and his daughter? Their scenes are very weird.

    This movie is amazing.

     

    I know I know it looks like a Taken rip-off, but it totally isnt. Its actually a comedy! I don't want to ruin the good parts, but lets just say if you like:

    Moustache jokes

    Blatent disregard for human life

    Nonsensical plots

     

    This movie is for you.

    As a physics teacher, the non-bouncing basketball non-parachute invention really bothered me.

    All of the other physics portrayed were SPOT ON.

    What I wondered is why not just use a parachute? I don't understand the need to put the basketball shaped magical balloon in the movie. Was the payoff worth it? They just show it rolling on the ground and we are supposed to believe that it just worked?

    Because I'm seemingly a masochist, I watched this movie again to ensure that maybe on the first viewing (as it had been years since I had seen it previously) that I was perhaps being a little too harsh.

     

    Guess what? It was still as crazy-bonkers-nutso as the previous time. I understand Bond movies of the past are somewhat eccentric and definitely fall under a different category than most movies, but that doesn't excuse the fact that this movie has elements that make no sense. I can live with the man with diamonds embedded in his face if he were the villain of this movie. It's definitely unique, but it would follow suit of there being a uniqueness to each Bond villain as Ryan Sz stated. The problem is the writers decided that he wasn't "villainy" enough and landed on this. A Korean man in this movie uses "gene therapy" to "alter his appearance through DNA restructuring" (Quotes courtesy of Wikipedia) which results in him looking like a Caucasian British male with a British accent. Seriously, w...t...f?

     

    Also, on the second viewing I noticed the rather poor editing in a few scenes. One in particular in which Bond is talking to M in an underground cache and the shot is from behind his head and it shows his mouth moving from the side, but he has no lines of dialogue.

     

    tldr; This movie is still bonkers

    Guys.......

     

    This movie is insane.

     

    Die Another Day (2002) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0246460/

     

    Let me just skim the highlights:

    • Man with diamonds embedded in his face
    • Invisible car
    • gene therapy technology (spoiler related?)
    • Sun diverting satellite
    • Ice Castle
    • ELECTRIC SHOCK SUIT!
    • TIDAL WAVE WIND SURFING!!!!

    Seriously, even if this doesn't get chosen you owe it to yourself to watch this movie.

     

     

    For your time, I have included one redeeming quality about this piece of sh..

    This movie is upsetting. Also, I think I'm beginning to fall in love with June. Guess what Paul?! You. Me. MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

     

    PS: I watched this movie with three girls and two guys and the girls were more interested than the guys. They were really invested in the Cage-Blade storyline as well as Sonya getting revenge on Kano.
