In this century?

There are a lot of people obsessed with the 30's and 40's actually so that's just wrong

[counterstep]

no the 1630s obviously

yeah and most of them only care about the fashion and the whole mob scene with Al Capone and all that jazz
meanwhile I was busy just making ends meet
so there's a difference

[dimestore]

A lot of people still struggle
That never really changed

[ john's been through it a couple times with olivia. that's how he ended up working for valentina. at least now he makes enough to keep her and his son comfortable. ]

[counterstep]

I wouldn't really compare the Depression to how people have had to struggle in the modern day
but also my point wasn't that I wanted to bond over that?

my interests are also much more dated than most
how many people do you know listen to predominantly 40s music? other than me

[dimestore]

You brought it up! It's that thing, the more things change the more they stay the same or whatever that's what I was thinking

Ok good point but you read a lot and people do that still
And what is a podcast if not a radio show, right?

[ when the homie has low self-esteem and you're trying to gas him up. ]

[counterstep]

radio plays are something of a lost art
but I will conceded that some podcasts do capture the old feeling of a good play

most people listen to Rogan or that crime shit though

[dimestore]

Most people are stupid, there were like four guys on my team that thought he was a genius
Loved them but they were idiots

If you want any recommendations let me know, I preferred the other kind of podcasts

[counterstep]

he's just some guy who likes talking to people
that doesn't make him a genius

the ones like radio plays? you mean?

[dimestore]

I always found the radio plays more interesting

[counterstep]

for the acting? or the stories?

[dimestore]

Both, I just thought a story was more interesting than people talking about nothing

[counterstep]

careful there, you're gonna piss off half the country with that kinda talk 🙂

( but he doesn't disagree. a lot of podcasts feel like they're just people talking about...nothing. )

[dimestore]

I think everyone knows that most podcasts are bullshit

[ not all, at least. besides, john is full of unpopular opinions. he doesn't care if people are mad at him. ]

[counterstep]

and yet they still listen to it
entertainment is cheap, nowadays

I still remember crowding around the radio just cause it was about to turn 7 so we wouldn't miss a second of the play

now people just expect free entertainment whenever they want, so drivel works just fine

[dimestore]

People have always liked garbage though, I don't think that's new

It's just the kind of garbage people consume has changed and maybe it is worse but maybe it's the same but a little to the right, you know?

[counterstep]

just a different shade of brown
yeah I hear you
definitely believable, that

with half of the useless info I gotta trawl through on the Internet, I'd say that's accurate

so you'd consider yourself to have refined taste, then?

[dimestore]

Oh fuck no I have shitty taste

All the podcasts I know are because of Olivia so you can thank her for the recommendations

[counterstep]

surprisingly honest
I'll be sure to thank her then

what about movies? also shitty taste?

[dimestore]

Turns out honesty is indeed the best policy

Huge Nicholas Cage fan and some might say that makes my taste terrible, others that its good so it's tough to say

[counterstep]

honesty is valuable when most of the people around me are more than willing to lie

you know, I've been curious about his work but I haven't any idea where to start
from the memes, I'll probably enjoy his stuff though

[dimestore]

Damn that's kind of grim, don't you think?

If you want to watch them sometime, let me know. I'm always willing to watch Nic Cage

[counterstep]

maybe, but that's my reality, so it's more practical to just acknowledge the fact than linger on what or why

sure
maybe something this weekend, if you've got a few hours to spare
not much prep needed this weekend
