Oh, it looks like the characters on the show had a special British way of saying it, and that's what he was doing. Which is weird, given his rant about "aluminium" in this same episode.

I'm sorry you Brits are just bitter about us Americans trimming the fat from your words.

Sham bam bamina! posted:It's dumber than that - it was originally named "aluminum" by Humphrey Davy, who was British. Then other Brits later decided that it didn't sound enough like a metal, so they added a letter. It's extremely silly, given that none of them had any problem with "platinum". british people what the heck

I didn't really understand why they chose to do The Girl on the Train. Seemed to me like it's a pretty unremarkable thriller, there's nothing really ridiculous (or even noteworthy) about it.

I bet they watched the 80 minute movie on amazon, looked up the popular highlights to criticize and called it a day! this has been another edition of padijun's podcast conspiracy theory corner but for serious, the movie's on amazon prime streaming, if for some reason anyone wants to watch it after having the whole thing spoiled: https://www.amazon.com/Girl-Train-Henry-Ian-Cusick/dp/B00V0IUG5U/ also, collision mentioned the band red fang, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3Vcoq-QRo4 E: IT'S THE WRONG GOD DAMNED MOVIE, this book-spoofing thing must be huge http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3631112/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2387589/ padijun fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Nov 29, 2016 |

I suspect they just wanted something light to read and picked something currently popular thinking they might hit another Dan Brown and instead got something not really worth hating. Even at the end, they said that book was perfectly okay.

I can't really blame them for taking a stab at getting listeners through a popular book. Book was super not suited for their format, but I enjoy their banter about dumb poo poo i personally don't enjoy, so it was still enjoyable. (Also if you like JW don't follow him on twitter)

Seeing a dude you enjoy get in twitter slapfights is just a little embarrassing is all. And he does it a lot. Twitter in general is just a bad idea.

Yeah and he was getting salty about people joking about their pronunciations and then went into a whole thing about how their podcast is harder to make than a lot of others because they read a book. And like...sure, but a) that doesn't mean other podcasts are worse and b) chill the gently caress out. He seems like a super nice guy and he's funny, but yeah sometimes twitter isn't really the best platform for him.

alternatively: imagine the kind of pedantic rear end in a top hat you'd have to be to tweet at someone about how they pronounced a word

Oh for sure. And he's even got a good sense of humor about it on the podcast, but the response on twitter was not very pleasant.

I come here to joke about the correct pronunciation of poirot. There are people who get in a direct line of contact to send him 10 pages (inc. diagrams) about why his pronunciation of aluminum, which was an obvious goof, was wrong. I can't even imagine dealing with people like that on a daily basis. And ultimately, he just expressed bewilderment, conceded the insane person was probably operating in good faith, but asked people not to do it. I would call it the mildest twitter meltdown of all time.

Oh word? I didn't see the offending tweets, so if it's actually tenacious insufferable douchebags flooding his mentions then fair enough. Anyway, episode was dece but you can tell there wasn't really a huge amount for them to work with. Hopefully we're back to true crap in the next episode!

They're like "Oh we don't care, don't tell us when we say stuff wrong" but the way they go on and on and on about it suggests that actually they do care a lot.

It just seems like navigating a minefield of Well Actuallys, but you might still get Well Actuallied for mentioning the band Botch but pedants thought you were mispronouncing Bach

When did JW break up with his wife? He just mentioned being single on his Twitter and remembered she was a frequent guest early on.

Wasn't trying to be intrusive, sorry. Had actually been wondering why she hadn't guested lately, and then saw his tweet today. Dude gets props from me for going through an unbelievably lovely thing like that and still putting out one of my favorite podcasts consistently.

This was a good one. Since the book had basically no substance to speak of, the conversation was a lot more free-flowing and causal. It almost felt like a very laid-back Flop House episode. Looking forward to the NaNoWriMo music and to maybe someday eventually finding out just what happened to JW at Chuck E. Cheese's.

It was a very nostalgic episode for me. Made me remember requesting a huge list of Goosebumps and Animorphs paperbacks at a school bookfair.
