I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Good times, lads.

I am so fucking excited for this. Seriously, this is the greatest event in RM history.

What a time to be alive. I believe we need to see Ruddo's cliff avatar.

6 minutes in... will probably finish this later but McParadign seems like an awesome dude.

I'm finding it kind of disconcerting that McP doesn't sound like HAL 9000

The backstory for this is that I didn't take it very seriously going in, and had spent all day going back and forth between my old and new places on my bike moving the last few trinkets. I then had a tall scotch and powered up Skype, which turned out to be a lot because I hadn't stopped to eat since breakfast.

Then LV made it worse by having great questions, which I mostly responded to with pauses and nonsense.

My favorite moment is at the end, he asks me about a specific person and I'm sure you can hear me going "oh shit I know that name what do I know that name from what do I know..."

So I answer with a JJ Abrams joke to buy time, it never comes to me, and then he repeats the name and I hadn't even heard him right the first time. I'd spent all that time sure I recognized a name that probably doesn't exist.

Pretty perfect closing considering how much time we spent with the question of "is this brilliant, or is the joke on me?"

I wouldn't worry about it - I always edit out pauses and nonsense to make everyone sound real good.

Oh good. Then this should be a real tight 13 minutes

I'm fifteen minutes into this and I can safely say, 100%, McP is the smartest and most interesting motherfucker in the room. In any room.

Jesus, what a slap in the face.

It makes his utter indifference and dismissal of me hurt all the more.

We all just have to do better, Jordan.

But then he goes and starts using narrative and story interchangeably and I have to wonder if he hasn't been tricking me this entire time.

I don't think you ever explained how you delineate these two? One of the dictionary definitions of "narrative" is literally "a story."

Sometimes when I listen to these after the fact I get frustrated with myself because I feel certain things could have been explored more deeply if I went down different roads with some of my responses. Agh. Oh well.

Again, this is series is one of the best things in RM. The subjects are interesting and complex.
Its a great podcast.
