    - Sounds like she never really wanted to go and is now hoping there's an excuse she can use to get out of it. - Krusty Sep 7, 06:25 4
      - I think she WANTED to go, but realizes they can't afford it and is having a panic attack about money (but, that's a guess.) -- nm - Andie Sep 7, 06:27 3
        
        That sucks. I understand that feeling and hopefully she can figure it out. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 06:39
        
        then she might as well go since she's going to have to pay you regardless. -- nm - Epiphany Sep 7, 06:34 1

Elon Musk live on Joe Rogan Experience podcast - been running for one hour and 45 minutes, so far. Curious info about Tesla - it can dance a waltz.. -- (link) - Facto Sep 6, 23:17 [youtube] 18
- Scandal - Rogan made Musk inhale weed -- nm - Facto Sep 6, 23:53
- that's second only to his Alex Jones episode on my list of 'podcasts I don't ever want to hear'. -- nm - mafic Sep 6, 23:41 14
  - Dislike Musk that much - makes me curious, what about him triggers you in particular.. ? -- nm - Facto Sep 6, 23:54 13
    - he's the broiest of the tech bros. I think he's incredibly disingenuous about almost everything he does or says. - mafic Sep 7, 00:18 12
      - I have to say he came across as the opposite of a prick in this podcast. He seemed at times depressed or disillusioned. Definitely not cocky. -- nm - Facto Sep 7, 00:30
      - and I just generally dislike Rogan. anyone who counts Alex Jones as a friend can fuck right off. -- nm - mafic Sep 7, 00:22 10
        
        But they befriended back in 1999 or so, back before Jones was in A Waking Life. It's the "going way back factor". Rogan is clear on Jones saying lots - Facto Sep 7, 00:29 7
        
        Before 1999, Alex Jones had already claimed the OKC bombinb was the government's doing; and tried to build a Branch Davidian memorial - Will Hunting Sep 7, 04:52
        
        *shrug* still gave him several hours of unchallenged conspiracy garbage on his podcast a year ago. being old friends doesn't cut it. - mafic Sep 7, 00:43 5
        
        yeah, the first time he went after the school kids parents should of been the deal breaker. (and I like Rogan) -- nm* - Beaker Sep 7, 05:35
        
        Rogan opposed him on just about everything regarding those conspiracy theories though, in those podcasts, from what I've gathered (haven't bothered to - Facto Sep 7, 01:16 3
        
        Rogan didn’t challenge him on anything. The extent of his disagreement on air was the occasional incredulous “no!” - mafic Sep 7, 06:34 1
        
        Must be different "episodes" -- nm - Facto Sep 7, 17:02
        
        Damage is already done. He gave him a huge audience to speak to about his ideas. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 05:37
        
        They're not super-friendly at the moment. Rogan has stated he won't have him back on in the foreseeable future. -- nm - Facto Sep 7, 00:26 1
        
        So Rogan put the sociopath on pause? - Will Hunting Sep 7, 04:46

I just realized my peak Burt Reynolds: Cannonball Run -- (edited) - con_carne Sep 6, 21:06 4
- Good time to have another Cannonball Run movie. Plenty of Celebs out there to load the cars with. -- nm* - budice Sep 6, 21:16
- Of course. Smokey and the Bandit really was getting him there but Cannonball took it to the next level. Two of the movies that got me ready to drive. -- nm* - Spawn: Blood Feud God Sep 6, 21:12 1
  - Convoy is pretty much a permanent track on my driving playlist. I can't really separate that from Smokey. Takes me back every time :) -- nm - Meg Sep 6, 21:19
- Agreed. It’s one of the movies I’ve probably seen a hundred times. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 6, 21:10

  - I watched it in 20-30 minute increments (because I was watching with kieran) and I didn't find it boring. I quite liked it, in fact. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 6, 21:27 1
    - Wife and I kept looking at each other wondering when the pace would pick up. -- nm - Bacon Sep 6, 22:06
