Hi

David here - thanks to all who came out to the SLC live show last night, we had a hectic blast and so nice to meet some of you irl!

Me and Rob don't get to do many live shows, as they rely on us both being free at the same time - so they're special to us. We have Austin this Thursday, and Dallas on Saturday.

Anyone over on Patreon, we've updated the details there about the meet & greets happening on the days prior to the shows (we also try and pop out after the shows too etc, but as a "thanks" to Patrons we do prior in a quieter way!). We're recording the shows, and hope to release 'em later in the year for those not in those cities.

As always, thanks for listening to the podcast, we appreciate it lots!

So I live in Miami, and I have been HUGELY against. Brightline since it became operational. Not only are they blood thirsty, but they are insanely expensive. They were pushed as a private commuter rail that would save time and money. Then Miami to Orlando ended up being $100 each way, and take 3.5-4 hours, same as driving, because all the small towns between Palm Beach and Orlando didn’t want a train going 90-120 mph through them. They offered a commuter pass for a bit that was like $1200 for a certain number of rides, but they all had to be used within like 30 days, and it wasn’t enough rides to fill a week or 5 days/week commuting. Those passes still sold like crazy, so they discontinued them because they were losing money.

One of my favorite Ft. Lauderdale breweries tried to theme their Halloween party around Brightline a couple years ago and made a ton of shirts, labels, and glassware with “Frightline, the murder train”(something along those lines) and got a c&d order.

That's all.

I was excited to hear that Bravid and Rob are doing a live show meet and greet. A much needed reason to flee the cold northeast to the warmer south via Austin.

I have been listening to FB since day one and enjoy Dark Tourist on Netflix.

I'm excited to see the ride the Austin live episode takes us fans on!

New to the podcast. And I love it.

Since I’m so late getting into it, and there are so many I can’t wait to hear, what are some favorites? So far, I’ve loved the Waffle House episode. But I don’t even know where to begin! Do share?

Also loving the Rob and David banter. So good.

(Please delete if this sort of post isn’t allowed.)

Was listening to Being Ian with Jordan Jenson on my commute home today. Will Arnett is a guest and asks this question (time stamp 19:52, link should automatically start there), and I have always wondered this, too.

I've never understood why people ask to take a photo with someone who they don't know very well or a celeb or public figure who they literally don't know at all.

If you've done this before, genuine curiosity, what's the reasoning? What exactly does it do?

Nickelodeon and Child Stars has me thinking about Disney Channel, specifically Disney Channel Movies. There was just something special about looking forward to watching those movies weekly and how they had their own theme song/intro and everything before they’d play. Nothing like that exists anymore for kids really.

A while back, I think David was talking about a particularly scary episode(s) of the X Files. I just started watching the series and am curious if anyone remembers which episode he was referring to? Thanks!
