In Your Face with Drew Garabo Listening Thread - November 2014

[Chob]

Perhaps Rick should spend a little less time working out how guys can micromanage their girlfriend's dietary habits and a little more time making sure the SBS hits all its breaks.

[Chob]

The show was much worse with Nick though. The guy was so unpleasant and unfunny. Plus he was always trying to cram in his political agenda on the show.

Ok, so yesterday I was packing and moving all my stuff to storage and heard the 80's trivia segment with Seth "boy" Kushner and another guy (sorry I forgot his name) and it was pretty good. I'm not saying I'm getting back into the show but I did enjoy what I heard while in the truck last night. Shocking, I know

Thanks for the feedback! I enjoyed that segment. It was Sean Daly, music critic for the TB Times. I love when people call Seth "Boy." Hope you'll check the show out again from time to time.

drew's gonna think you're trolling.. at least he did when I mentioned it.

you're blocked, I'm blocked and so is fish in wisconsin. Yet the commercial says the bone reaches 92% of the internet. Apparently we are the 8%

[Chob]

B's suck. I hated myself if I got a B on anything.

If I have kids, B is gonna stand for "belt" if they disappoint me like that.

Just jokes of course in case I have to spell it out for anyone that stumbles on this in the future and I happen to be a parent.

Fish had a similar thing when he's home. I figure that's just a quirk of their setup or something. That would probably be a question for someone in the digital department.

I think they only intentionally block people outside the U.S. Wisconsin may be way up there but it's not Canada and South Carolina sure as hell is no where near Canada.

[Ken Masters]

we weren't graded like this

we got 88 out of 100 for example. above 90 or 92% was "honor student" level

I was an honor student in math one year... shocking I know.

[Chob]

We got number grades too, but things still fell in a letter grade range. I only graduated high school with "high honors" instead of "highest honors" because I took three college level courses and was a few points off.

[Chob]

Of course it never really paid off except for scholarship money but that's neither here nor there.

[Chob]

I'm gonna say the same thing I told Cpt.

While I'm not qualified to give advice on anything, I say it's a blessing to have a hard working kid that at least tries to do well when that's more rare than it should be. As long as a kid is doing their best, a few points on often arbitrary grading scales shouldn't make a difference. But my knowledge of parenting is nil.

[PissJug]

i think Drew is right with the compromise and get a lesser gift other than the capture card

[Ken Masters]

get him the capture card but limit it's use until he improves that one grade

you can make money from youtube vids - start the kid off learning how to make money
