That “academic” person response was probably more about their own personality and there is a lot of them in academia. But academic institutions are filled with individuals who do things to liven up their lives with jokes - some of the stuff I have seen at conferences. Judges also do this from time to time. This is an article” References to Television Programming in Judicial Opinions and Lawyers’ Advocacy” from a legal journal. Which has this quote from Chief Juice Roberts: "Think of the poor judge who is reading... hundreds and hundreds of these briefs, liven their life up just a little bit. . . with something interesting." I have read briefs and rulings which have jokes and funny references to nerd culture like D&D. https://scholarship.law.missouri.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1579&context=facpubs

I feel your pain. Getting ahead to just fall behind. Maintenance is no joke tooling alone is an on going pain

Thank you for the Q&A. Swallowed both episodes in three days. I guess I am one of those weirdos who enjoy long format talking videos. 😂🤣🧡💛🧡

Thank you for suggesting Clifton Hicks.

Well, it has not arrived to me yet, so it is not on its the way to you yet. Thus, technically "I did not," not completely and not yet.

Andrey Gardner

I really enjoyed listening to this episode while cleaning up one of the Carcanos I picked up a couple months ago. Cake ... icing ... cake stand ... cake "pedestal"? (Public Service Announcement: Sonic cleaners are amazing - buy the biggest one you can reasonably afford)

you did not

C&Rsenal

We did that with Thanksgiving essentially. 3 years and 3 nuclear relatives. Trying to escape that depression was why I started the show.

C&Rsenal

The cake is a lie...

I used to not celebrate Christmas because it seemed like someone died around that time for 10 years of my life. I just expected we'd be doing a cold ass funeral so I steeled myself. It took another 10 years for me to kind of realize it was just a rough time. You guys are burned out. And you need a vacation. Love all you do. But take care of you.

I think the term is Bad Luck Schleprock.

Brian Foster

I need to learn how to use discord, I had sworn off of social media and been free of it for two years now (with the exception of my History and coffee YouTube channel) but you guys make it sound all fun and junk.

History&Coffee

Eeyore is the only one in the 100 Acre Wood with any sense of reality! Pooh and Tigger compete to be silliest, Rabbit is a narcissist, and Piglet is a psychopath. Eeyore is the only one we can trust to be there when we need him, no matter how dark his own personal struggle may seem.

James McKenzie

California or Ohio, which is worse?

James McKenzie

I cannot say if it is Russian in general, or peculiar to Odessa. However, as the book was half off the ludicrous Amazon price, I can say that today was a lucky day for you... Thus, do not think happy thought. I do not want the parcel service eating this package.

Andrey Gardner

well maybe 3 not 6 so we trade ads for question que points personally i am okay with a few ads to support the channel

ALI

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKmTRjceFQVwNVqDDU1jCeQ Basically I dissect and comment on recent social psych journal articles. Latest videos are on whether happiness improves health in a general population and how friends with benefits turn out over time. I've got another video in the works on how emoji use might make you appear more responsive to others

David Herman

Oh nice, link me!

C&Rsenal

But then we are punishing the viewer and making them deal with more ads!

C&Rsenal

Of course the Russians have a word for it! Also yes.

C&Rsenal

I just wanted to let y'all know that your show was a partial inspiration for my own channel. Mainly in the sense that in the same way that there are a lot of gun channels that don't go super deep, there are a lot of pop psych channels, and I'm the one going deep on the research papers

David Herman

Be the cake, Danny.

Albini family

for future q&a what about cutting them to hour chunks and making it into a playlist, that way the 50k could get spread to 6 or more videos instead of 2 and that would allow for the time stamp issue and increase income for the virtually the same amount of work

ALI

I believe the phenomenon you are experiencing is “закон подлости” (law of meanness). Effectively a further corollary to Murphy’s law, that adds “out of spite” to “and at the worst possible time.” I also only seem to large expenses after paying down debt and treating myself to something pricey… Also, was this the book in question https://www.ebay.com/itm/124373758231

Andrey Gardner

Rah, rah, RAH!

James McKenzie

The problem there is sourcing cases we find acceptable and then somehow arranging to have them produced and shipped by someone. Any attempt at merchandising sadly distracts from actually making the show, which is becoming more difficult.

C&Rsenal

Othias would be a good commentator for grims fairy tales "Yeah see that guy? Idiot. He accepted stuff. He is for sure gonna die or get a disease or be molested or something awful. Alright lets go to the next page kids and see what happens"

Gage

Btw I love the "Ian Cant Othias" videos. Please keep making those. I remember one podcast you talked about how you wish you could become a meme so you could capitalize on the marketing. If you keep doing those, you will become a meme. Speaking on marketing, what about C&Rsenal gun cases?

Gage

Yall need to do a GoFundMe for replacing that AC unit. I cannot imagine what hell yall must be in with no AC in that house (and Ive camped in 100 degree heat with humidity so bad the fog never lifted all day or night)

Gage

The more C&Rsenal gets new patreons like you, the more flavors of ramen Othias can afford! Welcome aboard!

Gage

Hey othias, if the engine goes out in one of yalls vehicles, just do like this guy did and do a harbor freight engine swap (and dont forget to film it). https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cL2FKDtpRt8

Gage

You’re very patient, diplomatic and kind; you’ve not yet gone “full Lewis Black” on your rants.

David Hemsath

Well that is just experience

C&Rsenal

I am very sorry to hear it is a pandemic

C&Rsenal

I totally get what you're saying, Othais! My wife says that the Rolling Stones' song "You Can't Always Get What You Want" is my theme song... But then, I'm Polish, so we always expect something bad to happen soon!

Dr. B

The light at the end of the tunnel is a muzzle flash

"I'm just trying to help the creepers out", thanks Othais!

TestBacon

It's not just you that's going through this right now. Over the past few months I've had to replace my heat pump because it wouldn't switch from AC to heat, a very large branch from the tree in my back yard damaging my house and car, my water heater almost re-enacted an episode of Mythbusters, I paid out of pocket to get the aforementioned tree taken down because it's dying, and now my dryer doesn't want to dry anymore. All of this occurred before I was THIS CLOSE to paying off a credit card, now it's maxed out.

Beautifully summed

Miserable othais best othais, noted!

The idea of a "higher-brow show" was smashed into pieces when penguins were used to explain the action in Mosin-Nagant episode. Coincidentally, the same moment I subscribed on Patreon.

VintagePhone

".... and then somebody comes along and tries licking me" Othais, 2021. I had to pause to wipe down the coffee I've spilled.

VintagePhone

My cat ate 3 feet of ribbon a few years ago, the cat lived, my entire savings and a whole credit card balance did not. I love my cat and I don't regret the expense. This show is your cat and sometimes it eats 3 feet of ribbon.

History&Coffee

There is a futurama episode that covered the ethics of licking people.

David Grunt

What draws me to you is your integrity. Your humor just keeps it real. I really love you guys. You can count on my support as long as you stay true to dreams. You are truly a model for the younger generation.

Mark Snow

I refer to it as Maz’s Law, its an extension of Murphys law. Maz’s law states: When the things go wrong, it will keep going wrong until your bank account and assets have been depleted. Also i love your use of Sodom’s touch, i find it also to be true!

Maz

Yeah, Othais is straight out of Dostoevsky or Nabokov. The more he talks the more he sounds like a Nabokov character.

Robert Santamaria

Othias sounds like he has read too many Russian short stories

David K. Jernigan

Othias, you have Mae in your life. You are one of the luckiest men alive.

Ryan D Thorne

For some years now, you two have been, in some vein, professional communicators. Therefore, your voices, manner, and presentation are enjoyable to listen to - that's part of why I'm a patron, and probably part of why the combination of Q&A plus Ian Can't Othias did well on balance.

David Axel Hansen

Sisyphusis is named after Sisyphus, the bloke that Zeus condemned to role a stone up a hill in Hades; and just as he was near the top it would roll down to bottom.

Bradwan

Not insane thankyou. We're British hence we're 'eccentric'.

Gavin Rea-Davies

Drachinfel who also does absurdly long Q&As he does the progress time stamps for questions for as long as he can and then the remainder as a pinned comment. Example https://youtu.be/miSB4SS3ACQ which kinda makes it look like he spent the last two hours just talking about Hannibal's use of jars of snakes in naval combat. It is very useful. But I understand he is not anywhere close to a reasonable standard. He is obviously a bit insane.

Primarch359

I total love you guys, if you we in New Zealand I'd by you a beer.... or several...

Kerrin Zwart

New subscriber - and I’m very glad I did. Not only did this not turn me off, but I appreciated the discussion - and I sympathize with fear that things are going too well. You guys are doing the sweat-and-blood part of building a small business, and it’s impressive.

Puritanus

Y'all. Seriously. Could not possibly enjoy you more.

James McKenzie

The uncompromising dedication to historical accuracy is why I love you guys, well that and you guys just being likeable hard working people
