Did You Reddit?

This episode we're trying something a little different. Sometimes, we just can't get all the hot and heavy news that comes out of Reddit on a given episode, so in light of u/dogboobes having an early morning client call with her new employee, the Wakanda Starbucks, we are exclusively covering the front page in a much shorter episode. So, we briefly touch on the latest and grossest YouTube conspira...

Well everyone, the end of Reddit as we know it is nigh. This week, news broke that Chinese cyber heavyweights Tencent are investing 150m fat ones into our favorite Internet orifice, Reddit. Does this actually mean that Reddit is going to dramatically shift into some weird Chinese censorship experiment? No. Does it mean that Reddit will host a lot more one finger challenges? Here's hoping. Either w...

Somehow, despite all the many microphone issues, our lack of a sincere TrueSwords sponsorship, and our overall "charming" lack of pod professionalism, we've made it to our 100th episode. So to celebrate this historic milestone and proof point in the success of mediocrity, we're covering one of our white whale heavyweight subs, r/trees. And since we're finally discussing r/trees, it only...

This week, we've got a big one for you guys. We've been itching to do r/trashy for a long time now, as it's collectively one of our all-time favorites, but thanks to a new documentary about how Dupont is poisoning Dad's hometown, and a particularly controversial post from the Reddit front page, the time is nigh. r/trashy is on the surface, Reddit's greatest collection of hilariously ill-mannered p...

Thank god our beloved u/dogboobes is back, and just in time to tell us that evidently, she is also an IMDB politics messageboard celebrity. Somehow for the entirety of this podcast, she's failed to mention that she was at one time, left-wing Internet royalty. So somewhere between learning that u/DogBoobes is basically Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and u/myfreeday briefly deciding that he's an anarchis...

Well, u/dogboobes is nowhere to be found. Some say she's in New York making content for Nabisco crackers. Some say she's in sipping on opiates after a spider bite. Either way, she isn't with us to talk about the great egg of Instagram, fast food, modernfarmer.com, and a whole variety of other topics that occur after a few Capo Isetta red blends. With all the insanity surrounding Instagram's new pr...

Welcome to 2019 guys. New Year - basically the same us. So obviously it makes sense then that we start the first episode of 2019 by talking about Abraham Lincoln deep fake pornography, followed quickly by another u/dogboobes diet attempt. Evidently, u/itsyerdad got some incredibly durable new boots, so we decided to check out r/buyitforlife, a sub dedicated to similarly durable purchases, like Kit...

We're changing pace a little on episode 95, and instead of using a specific Subreddit as a launching point, we're taking a deep dive in the top posts from the 2018 front page. From the Mexican restaurant that moved into an old Chinese restaurant and painted sombreros on the Pandas, to the Zuckerberg robot memes, to the many ups and downs of Elon Musk, we take a tour of this year's greatest hits. T...

Everything just sounds a whole lot better when we're in Ranch Dressing Studios. That, and when u/dogboobes is on her version of a juice cleanse, which is basically other peoples' version of casually drinking juice sometimes. Yet despite things objectively sounding and feeling better when we can actually use our fancy microphones and all the technology that the 21st century affords us, we still can...

Well everyone, it's finally the time you've all been waiting for. After about 8 straight episodes of mediocre pod quality, we're back in full swing at Ranch Dressing Studios, creamy as all get out. To celebrate, we talk for a good 15 minutes before ever even addressing the mere concept of Reddit. But don't you worry, we cover your second favorite topic in the meantime, Doggie Boobies' dad issues....

Well, we're officially back in the garage recording pods at 7:00am. Oh, you thought that would mean crystal clear audio quality and an unwavering professionalism? Well clearly you still don't know who you're listening to - what we lack in professionalism, we constantly make up for in our on brand inpredictability. Since we last recorded in the garage, u/itsyerdad got a new computer, incompatible w...

Listen. We're sorry. We get that we've become comically inconsistent, but isn't it nice to get a surprise from time to time? Do you REALLY want your foremost Reddit-centric podcast to be timely and on a regular schedule? Yeah, us either, which is why u/itsyerdad decided to go to Asia for three weeks, making pod scheduling comically difficult. BUT, here we are, truly trans-global, to talk about all...

Well hello casual listeners of DYR, how nice to see you again. At this point, our inconsistency is getting comical. People say that the path to success is built by leaning into your strengths, and I think it's safe to say that our strengths lie in designing schedules that transcend convenience, and creating episodes that are virtually impossible for u/itsyerdad to edit in a timely manner. So, here...

Hey guys. Obligatory apology for again not posting this podcast on time. But if it makes you feel any better, u/dogboobes is back from Tanzania to talk to us about the civil liberties of robots! We've been meaning to talk about this sub for a long time, but with Houston trying to ban sexbot brothels, and California banning bots that try to be humans, it's a better time than ever to stand up for ou...

First of all, apologies for a slightly belated episode posting. Let's be honest, we use the term "weekly" very loosely. That said if there was ever a reason for us taking longer than usual to post a new episode, an interview with both a tulpa and their possibly Austrian host is a pretty good reason as far as we're concerned. In episode 87, we dug into the perplexing world of r/tulpas, a...

Hey listeners, we're not above saying that we all get lonely sometimes. We all have tendencies to sulk in the $400/month studio apartment of our mind and wish that we could calm our existential anxiety by just having someone to watch King of the Hill reruns with. But sometimes, that someone just isn't there. Which, amongst other philosophically more important reasons is why Tulpas exist. A Tulpa i...

You’ve probably heard a lot about QAnon lately. To some, the QAnon movement is a mystifying right-wing conspiracy led by Floridian baby boomers who would fall on the sword for president Trump to help reveal the ring of Barrack Hussein Obama pedo-pizza loving Deep Staters. To others, it’s basically also that but with aliens involved somehow. And to some, it’s Trump’s team of personal journalists. E...

Oh how the mighty have...gotten into unnecessary Twitter feuds and called some dude a pedo because he saved some kids from drowning first. To some, Elon Musk is the a real life Batman/Iron Man, building an empire on life-changing technological innovations for the future we all imagine is possible. To others, he's a really annoying capitalist, masquerading as a do-gooder with a quirky creative girl...

This week's Internet was overwrought with stories of Putin and Trump's bizarre meeting of the minds in Helsinki, most notably Don's amazing response to the question of whether or not Russia intervened in the election. BUT, was all of this tomfoolery one big slight of hand distraction from the truth, that the home of the meeting "Helsinki, Finland" ISN'T ACTUALLY A REAL PLACE? Wake up she...

When the World Cup final happens, the whole Internet talks about it. So, using the World Cup final as an excuse, u/myfreeday leads us into the world of football conspiracy theories, which then segues into a conversation about Russia's hilariously overt tampering of ordinary laws, which then obviously led to a conversation about the broad weirdness of Russia in general by way of r/anormaldayinrussi...

At this point, it's a well-documented part of the DYR brand for u/itsyerdad to hate elders. So, u/dogboobes makes a valiant, and ultimately successful effort to sway his totally rational bias by leading an empathy-packed episode investigating r/askoldpeople; a sub designed to let the youth of today converse with people who have lived through VCRs and ham radios. Sometimes nostalgic, sometimes thou...

According to the Internet, the Bay Area has an a less-than-elite strike force of middle-aged white woman enforcing laws that don't really need enforced. First, it was BBQ Becky with her totalitarian grip on lakeshore grill doctrine. Now, we have Permit Patty, and her particularly firm interpretation of sidewalk vendor regulation. While both instances were racially charged, they were also cartoonis...

Listen. Sometimes, the internet just can't stop talking about politics,  and this is one of those weeks. Since we are technically a podcast about the Internet, we thought it was important that we took the time to recognize the elephant in the room, or rather the infant elephant in the border cage. However, instead of just going straight into the belly of the beast, we've decided to discuss an anal...

For nearly 40 years, America's greatest neighbor, Fred Rogers, taught all of us how to not be buttheads to other people. He was undeniably one of, if not the most kind-hearted person to ever grace our television screens, and in the age of extreme moral ambiguity, his Mr. Rogers is sorely missed. So, with the release of the recent film "Won't You Be My Neighbor?", we take a look at r/TheC...

Evidently, 17 billion dollars of lost treasure was recently found off the coast of Columbia, which flies in the face of our assumptions that treasure hunting is some lost art left to the plot lines of Johnny Depp films. However, apparently that 17 billion with a B is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to all the cashsishe still lost in the world, so we decided to take a look at r/treasure t...
