I used to think bigger podcasts were better because they covered more ground. That Anime Deep Dive moment changed my mind, it felt so dismissive to just call a topic "exhausted." Now I get why @michaelo49 looks for smaller spots, places where people actually let a conversation breathe. Why even have a deep dive show if you're not willing to go deep on the big stuff?

My barber said the motor in cheap clippers just can't handle thick hair.

Tried the joke thing once. Told a kid why the chicken crossed the road right before a shot. He laughed so hard he almost fell off the chair. Had to chase him around the room with a band-aid. My joke delivery is clearly a public health hazard. The cotton ball idea sounds way safer.

Blowing on a bit just puts moisture on it.

Oh man, that is painfully familiar. I just had to explain what a web browser is, like the actual program you use to get online. They thought Google was the internet itself. How do you even start that conversation without sounding like you're talking down to them? It makes you wonder what seems totally normal to us that's completely invisible to someone else.
