The mods have approved me posting this.

5 days ago, the mods of r/PepperboxTV stepped down. I was the only one to send a message in r/RedditRequest

So i became the only mod of the subreddit (alongside the new mods i have added from this community). It is my goal to rebuild that community (drink).

view my post on the subreddit here

What I mean by that is growing it. I want to become a hub for all things pepperbox, while unsub content can exist in both places.

I also need help with moderating the community because I work full time. I just wanted everyone to know that the community was under new management, and when I have time, I plan to work on the subreddit and hopefully i can get a few more people to help me out

With all that being said. Go check out and join r/pepperboxtv. It’ll be a good time over there

I've been building a browser based dispatch simulator and I'm looking to get some help to bring it beyond my current skillset.

What the game is

A police/fire/EMS dispatch management sim. You run a city's emergency services across shifts, handling incoming calls, deciding how to staff them, and managing a budget and reputation over time.

There's a live animated map, a config driven system for adding new content without touching code, and a growing set of interlocking mechanics.

Happy to go into more detail with anyone who reaches out.

Looking for help with:

• Backend (Python/Flask): new gameplay systems, game logic, extending the config system
• Frontend (JS, HTML/CSS): UI polish, new panels/modals, map interactions (Leaflet)
• Game design & balance: tuning economy/difficulty, shaping new features
• (Nice to have): playtesting and feedback

Scope

This is an evolving hobby project. I'm not super well of in terms of money but I'll absolutely pay you for your time.

I'd rather structure this as a handful of clearly defined tasks or features than an open ended commitment, at least to start.

Pay

Small budget available for now (I'll always agree on a rate/flat fee with you before any work starts), plus full credit in the game.

If this grows into something bigger, contributors who helped early get first consideration for paid ongoing work.

I just recently discovered Billy Strings after seeing him on Theo Von's podcast for the second time and admittedly I didn't listen to any of his music after seeing him the first time on Theo von's podcast but. During the second episode Im like "Alright i'll check him out" and DAMN do i love his music. Especially some tracks on the new album he just put out. I was wondering though. What are some "Must listen" songs from his older tracks?

This might be an unpopular guest suggestion just because I feel like he isn't super aligned with the hosts but. Billy strings is a bluegrass singer/songwriter. I feel like he could be a pretty fucking cool guest. He also just released an album which is pretty fucking good.

He also has a lot to share about life experiences. He's been on Theo Von's podcast twice (if you want to hear his life stories) but I feel like he'd get along great with the gang, and I bet he'd have some great stories to share.

Tacket has become my favorite Unsub sphere member after watching a few podcast episodes of Man V. Morning and the few underwhelming episodes he was on. I was wondering what your favorite (pepperbox or youtube) episodes you felt showed how unhinged he has been. I want to see more of this gem of a human being lmao

Sorry if this has been posted already. I tried to search the subreddit but couldn't find it posted already.

Just wanted to post this as I know we've been talking a lot about the shooting in Idaho where an armed civilian intervened and saved lives. I just wanted to make sure I spread awareness regarding gofundme scams and how low some people can get regarding taking advantage of other peoples' misery. I have seen one real gofundme and about 10 fakes. I am not going to share the real one, im sure you can google it and find it yourself. I just don't want to upset the mods as Im sure it wouldn't look good if i made this post then shared a random link.

Just wanted to remind everyone to double check everything. Especially when it comes to sending money. And if something seems fishy: double check, triple check, or more. And if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

I only know a few (i think) and was looking to catch up on some unsub/underwhelming/KC because i haven't watched them in a bit and the latest KC reminded me of the running bit AC does of "Hi richard hy First time caller long time listener" and of course you have "community" (Drink)

What are your favorites? I might be forgetting some

This post isn't inherently podcast related other than I love the Unsub gang but. I thought i'd post this here just cuz I know y'all are the type of people to appreciate advice like this.

Be careful what tattoos you get lol. I have a tattoo on my wrist.

To make a long story short, I interviewed at a prison to be a food service employee to be a non-inmate manager of the inmates cooking food. And on my wrist, i have said tattoo. I got invited to the second round interview but the last question they asked was "so hey I see that tattoo on your wrist. Is that a gang tattoo???" It is not. I explained its a norse symbol (and the meaning behind the tattoo) and they were like "Oh Ok" but. Definitely just. Was a sobering reality that in some careers (such as LEO, Corrections, etc.) Visible Tattoos are a huge part of the hiring process and if the tattoos you have are even slightly questionable, you won't make it far in the hiring process.

TW: topics regarding Suicide.

A continuation of this comment thread

I see a lot of people thinking Howard was a huge asshole or that Howard was to blame for Chuck's suicide or that he Could've stopped Chuck from killing himself. I want to tell you why I believe, even though this is a TV show, Chuck's storyline would've ended the same way whether or not what happened in S3 happened

I am a former firefighter/EMT. I also personally know people who have killed themselves. I just add that for context because I've seen these situations first hand.

When someone truly wants to kill themselves, there is very little that anyone can do to stop them. You can "get them help" all you want, but the second they have the means and motivation to, they're going to do it. Unfortunately that's just the way it is. I think BCS portrayed that pretty clearly. The whole "Yes Jimmy. I'm doing better. Don't worry about me" spiel is what I have seen time and time again through my work and my personal life. People say they're getting better to stop people from worrying, then they do it. The writers definitely knew what they were doing when they wrote with Jimmy and Chuck's last scene in season 3. They did their research.

My main point of this post though, was that Howard was only trying to help Chuck. I think he saw through this. I think the writers were trying to write a character that saw through the facade and knew something was wrong. The problem is that Chuck's character was too hell-bent on screwing over Jimmy and the insurance company to accept his help. Especially after the bar hearing, Chuck was livid. He knew he fucked up but didn't want to accept it. He wanted to litigate everyone to hell before accepting defeat.

For more context/more of my views, I linked a comment in the first sentence of this post from a thread in this subreddit where I explained my views a bit more.

As brilliant and as careful of a man as Gus is, something that kinda annoyed me was the location of the laundry and Lalo interrogating the guy about it in season 6. Something I was wondering was: Gus had fears that someone might talk. Especially after Ziegler went AWOL. So why didn't he instruct the men on telling a disinformation story instead of the real story if someone ever confronts them.

Or maybe getting back in touch with them after they know Lalo is alive after the failed hit and threatening them to tell any interested parties alternate information instead of "The laundry is where the lab is being built"

I get it. its a TV show. Plot development. But. Idk this kinda never sat right with me on my current rewatch. Gus is supposedly much more careful and reserved than this. He should've seen this coming a mile away.

Hey all. My friend was in prison for the past 11 years and just got out. I was wondering if anyone knew of any jobs/apartments that didn't look down on felony convictions. If necessary to know it was for Assault and battery.

He has since found remorse for his actions and is looking to rebuild his life but is having trouble finding a job or apartment that will cater to felons. Thanks in advance.

For me its a tie between the something stupid and the 50 off montage. The 50 off one is hilarious but. The something stupid one really helps the story come along and It's fun. (Not to mention i love the song)

Just finished a rewatch and was wondering what everyone's thoughts were about all the montages in the series.

What are your guys’ thoughts on a possible move to require residential houses to have sprinkler systems?

Personally I think it would be great and would save a lot of lives. But I’m wondering what your guys’ thoughts are

Edit: instead of downvoting me you can tell me your opinion. We can have a civil discussion without you removing fake internet points from me. Reddit karma means nothing to me. You’re not hurting me lol. You’re just showing me that you’re a grown adult who’s incapable of forming a coherent argument

This is somewhat a biased opinion because I was a firefighter and worked alongside police officers while working.

But beyond the “on the job” moments of the show, yes it’s a sitcom. And I’ve seen a lot of opinions on this sub over the past week or so saying “eh I don’t want to watch it. I don’t like sitcoms” or similar sentiments.

But. It’s so much more than that if I’m being completely honest. Yes. It is a sitcom by definition. But it *really* does not feel like one. There are some INCREDIBLY deep and complex interactions that happen within the show. Especially in the later seasons that make you forget you’re watching a sitcom about detectives in the NYPD. You feel like you’re watching a drama series about NYPD detectives growing and maturing.

This show also perfectly encapsulates the “on the job banter” that happens while working in any of the first responder roles. This isn’t a major spoiler (it was just a cold open that has no plot relevance). But. There’s a scene where detective Boyle is implying he arrested a 60 something year old woman but it was actually revealed he had sex with her and wasn’t a police related interaction. That scene made me laugh incredibly hard and then made me sad because it reminded me about the late night convos I’d had while in the fire service at the dinner table.

All in all. Give the show a chance even if you think a sitcom isn’t for you. Brooklyn 99 isn’t a sitcom. It’s a comedy drama that got marketed as a sitcom.

I promised no spoilers so I really feel I shouldn’t elaborate much more. You just have to trust me. The first season isn’t as deep into the drama as 2-8 but. The benefit is that they’re only 21-23 minute episodes.

Moreso a sitcom that doesn't feel like a sitcom and devotes more time to drama. I'm also excluding shows with a laugh track because for me the laugh track ruins the immersion. if that even makes sense.
