Content

Here is the last piece of content we recorded on the DTG snowy mountain retreat. Do not anticipate insights... but do expect a lot of random waffle about Japanese food. Our editor Andy has tried to make things slightly more cohesive but he was working with difficult material. 

In any case, consider this *bonus* behind the scenes content with a special guest decoder, Matt's daughter Lana (who was probably most coherent throughout).

Regular broadcasting will resume soon but until then enjoy one last trip to the onsen.

Also, if we missed any important Qs, we can try to answer them in the comments.

The perfect question to ask you just sprung to my mind! Why have we not ever heard you speaking Japanese? It would be great to hear your recite a small poem or something, one each, and then have your wives grade your pronunciation? Or, if you're both fluent in Japanese, just have a normal conversation?

Video not working for me

iirc, Bruno Mars did a Superbowl halftime show a few years back. I wasn't too impressed. As for being out of touch: I watched Taylor Swift's "Eras" movie and didn't recognise even one song. Does that make you feel better? 😄

This was hilarious

This was great fun, and Lana was a good sport for saying Chris is cooler than Matt.

Bruno Mars' Doo-Wops & Hooligans (2010) was good, Unorthodox Jukebox (2012) was ok, but his 24K Don't Vaccinate Magic (2016) was when he took a turn.

Re: the first two recordings of the first episode, it's not just that podcasts require alternating or setting each other up. I think a large part of it is that you're recording remotely from quite far away. You couldn't do this specific podcast with just randomly butting in, but if you recorded live with each other, you wouldn't need to take turns nearly as much. It's something I noticed with a lot of podcasts pre and post pandemic - they went from shows that were quite conversational to shows that felt more like TV talking heads segments where people deliver their takes sequentially and are instructed not to interrupt too much. That style works for dtg because you're trying to deconstruct rhetorical tricks or debunk complicated bits of misinformation, but lots of podcasts are fine with the hosts interrupting each other.

Love it. The chemistry of Roy & HG for those Aussies.

Did Matt misuse the word penultimate?!

So they’re not gurus, they’re just normal men. They’re just innocent men
