It's such a trashy show (nothing "prestige" about it) and they're having so much fun with it.
Every time they bring up the board I just die.
5/10 for the show. 10/10 for the podcast.
Spoilers for The Bear Finale.....
Why do Charles and Van seem to assume Carmy left The Bear? Seemed intentionally ambiguous to me?
Nora mentioned on today’s We’re Obsessed that her DMs were getting blown up from people mad about her criticizing Taylor’s wedding castle at MSG.
i checked the Spotify comments on the latest “ever single album” episode where she dropped her takes and wow there are sooo many people ready to be offended on behalf of a billionaire who doesn’t care about you.
i get Nora can come off WASPy or snobby be come on her takes were pretty reasonable.
idk if this has been getting worse lately or if I’m just now noticing, but there have been a ton of ads that just play mid sentence. A particularly notable example was on the recent Rewatchables mail bag when they were talking about TNT censor dubs. They listed a couple of their favorites and then started talking about the Big Lebowski. Cut to a Vuori ad. The ad ends and Bill yells “This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!” There are other examples, including some where the ad starts mid-word, but that one really stood out to me.
I’m sure it’s been asked before but who is this for? I’m what you would probably describe as a gambler and I find it painful to listen to. There is very little actual gambling and you have to listen to their takes before they even get to the actual gambling there is and it’s mostly just mainlines, which is fine but incredibly boring.
Does the Ringer have one? What’s the best one outside of the Ringer?
I recently launched v2 of my podcast app which skips ads automatically, would love a review and any feedback, I’m really trying to improve my ASO.
In exchange I will download and review + give feedback to your apps as well! Post links below, I’ll actually install the app and use it for a few days minimum as well, to make sure the review is approved by Apple.
Let’s get reviewing!
I know there’s a fair amount of these types of posts in this sub, but I was literally just blasted into my backseat by a whistle sound near the beginning of this newest pod.
While driving, I usually listen to podcasts at volume 12 to 15 and enforced to listen to Adam‘s podcast in the mid 20s because, for whatever reason, the sound mixing is so bad. However, the rest of the podcast: the ads, the sound effects, the music, clips, are all at the same volume that other podcasts have them on. So what happens is, I can barely hear the actual host of the podcast and then randomly I can’t hear anything because I was just blasted by my speakers.
I don’t understand how a media company that puts out hundreds of podcasts can’t figure out how to make the sound work. Just trying to learn about the World Cup.
Nora goes on a month long honeymoon across Europe and Africa and then like a week later goes for a weekend trip to Sicily for a wedding?
am I too poor for this podcast?!? LOL!😂 no judgement good for her but holy crap
meanwhile the Jam Session gals are renovating their Cape Cod homes and spending thousands on the Real Real
Delighted to learn on Jam Session today that Jacob and Anne Hathaway are really good friends. Anyone know how that came about?
What do you think are the guidelines here? Thinking about two separate instances:
- Substacks recently started by Amanda Dobbins and Sean Fennessey; Sean's is paywalled
- Affiliate links on Shop My Shelf from the We're Obsessed girls (although we can't really know if the revenue goes to the gals or The Ringer, so this may not apply)
I work in a media-adjacent role and doing either of these things would violate our conflict of interest policy (again, unless the affiliate links are going to The Ringer vs Jodi and Nora). The Substacks don't appear to be explicitly linked to The Ringer, although Sean's looks like it COULD be, Amanda's is just a chatty letter. Just curious here.
