Did You Reddit?

Well everyone, it's finally the time you've all been waiting for. After about 8 straight episodes of mediocre pod quality, we're back in full swing at Ranch Dressing Studios, creamy as all get out. To celebrate, we talk for a good 15 minutes before ever even addressing the mere concept of Reddit. But don't you worry, we cover your second favorite topic in the meantime, Doggie Boobies' dad issues...

Well, we're officially back in the garage recording pods at 7:00am. Oh, you thought that would mean crystal clear audio quality and an unwavering professionalism? Well clearly you still don't know who you're listening to - what we lack in professionalism, we constantly make up for in our on brand inpredictability. Since we last recorded in the garage, u/itsyerdad got a new computer, incompatible with our previous setup, so we had to proverbially duct tape and bird feather this episode together...

Listen. We're sorry. We get that we've become comically inconsistent, but isn't it nice to get a surprise from time to time? Do you REALLY want your foremost Reddit-centric podcast to be timely and on a regular schedule? Yeah, us either, which is why u/itsyerdad decided to go to Asia for three weeks, making pod scheduling comically difficult. BUT, here we are, truly trans-global, to talk about all things in u/itsyerdad's temporary home, most notably, the dWeebs who over-idolize its culture...

Well hello casual listeners of DYR, how nice to see you again. At this point, our inconsistency is getting comical. People say that the path to success is built by leaning into your strengths, and I think it's safe to say that our strengths lie in designing schedules that transcend convenience, and creating episodes that are virtually impossible for u/itsyerdad to edit in a timely manner...

Hey guys. Obligatory apology for again not posting this podcast on time. But if it makes you feel any better, u/dogboobes is back from Tanzania to talk to us about the civil liberties of robots! We've been meaning to talk about this sub for a long time, but with Houston trying to ban sexbot brothels, and California banning bots that try to be humans, it's a better time than ever to stand up for our half-sentient brothers and sisters of steel...

First of all, apologies for a slightly belated episode posting. Let's be honest, we use the term "weekly" very loosely. That said if there was ever a reason for us taking longer than usual to post a new episode, an interview with both a tulpa and their possibly Austrian host is a pretty good reason as far as we're concerned. In episode 87, we dug into the perplexing world of r/tulpas, a community dedicated to coming up with imaginary best friends for adults...

Hey listeners, we're not above saying that we all get lonely sometimes. We all have tendencies to sulk in the $400/month studio apartment of our mind and wish that we could calm our existential anxiety by just having someone to watch King of the Hill reruns with. But sometimes, that someone just isn't there. Which, amongst other philosophically more important reasons is why Tulpas exist...

You’ve probably heard a lot about QAnon lately. To some, the QAnon movement is a mystifying right-wing conspiracy led by Floridian baby boomers who would fall on the sword for president Trump to help reveal the ring of Barrack Hussein Obama pedo-pizza loving Deep Staters. To others, it’s basically also that but with aliens involved somehow. And to some, it’s Trump’s team of personal journalists...

Oh how the mighty have...gotten into unnecessary Twitter feuds and called some dude a pedo because he saved some kids from drowning first. To some, Elon Musk is the a real life Batman/Iron Man, building an empire on life-changing technological innovations for the future we all imagine is possible. To others, he's a really annoying capitalist, masquerading as a do-gooder with a quirky creative girlfriend and an weird need to fit in with nerd culture that he clearly transcends...

This week's Internet was overwrought with stories of Putin and Trump's bizarre meeting of the minds in Helsinki, most notably Don's amazing response to the question of whether or not Russia intervened in the election...
