And it's going really well

Once you've made it in the WWE, with his band, books, podcasts, and whatever else he's done, being able to play what he wants to play to even a few dozen people could be feel like a success at that stage, if he enjoys it. I'm far from being a Jericho fan, but I've often wondered what you'd have to do for enjoyment if you ever made it wildly successful.

Not having a knock at your post there Wyatt, but if he's enjoying it then fair fucks to him.

I know your not having a pop. But for all his success with WWE, his podcast and another band that he's had running for about 15 years now, 39 listeners across the entire planet on a massive platform like Spotify is shocking, especially when it's being put out by an established label like Metal Blade Records.

[Keith Houchen]

Isn't that just the number of people who follow?  And not the number of plays etc?

[WyattSheepMask]

Top streamed track has less than 1,400 streams (others tracks have less than 1,000) and that EP has been out for a year, so each of those 39 followers would have had to have listened to the track 0.7 times per week on average. They've probably had more traffic today from me number crunching than people actually listening to them

Kilts are a bloody nightmare. I used to work in a suit shop, and dreaded Scottish weddings.

I went to a wedding and had to have one on in the middle of January in the pissing snow and rain. Ceremony was lovely, but never again with the kilt.

Today I learned that this...

Is called a Wheelbarrow.

 

And not a Wheelbarrel.

[PunkStep]

You thought is was a wheelbarrel? Why?!

I’m not sure. I think it was probably the thought of a half barrel on a wheel with handles for the original concept.

That's hilarious. Pretty harsh to be getting mercilessly down voted for that admission. Admissions of idiocy should never be met with such hostility, as we are all poorer for losing out on hearing the stories if people don't feel like sharing.

Imagine if we fostered an environment in which Steve never shared his raw porcelain propensity (and it's also far from the worst thing MrK has ever shared...)

I remember i used to think that when Grandstand used to have the final results coming in back in the 80s, that the presenter would say “now lets go to the biddy printer” my friend corrected me that it was the Viddy printer.

If we're sharing our misunderstandings of words, I used to think that guerrilla fighters were actual gorillas. Imagine that. Cigar chomping apes with machine guns. Cool. To be fair I was about ten years old and had seen Congo so it's fair game in my book.

Similar one to that but when I was 10 and read the blurb on the back of Universal Soldier, I couldn't understand why they were making cyborg animal doctors. My dad had to explain what a Vietnam Vet was.  

[ReturnOfTheMack]

I was talking about this the other day! I couldn't figure out why so many Vietnam war veterinarians were in films.

Today I learned that Woody Harrelson's father was a hired killer, a hitman, convicted of two murders and acquitted of one other. He also confessed to assassinating John F. Kennedy, though he was high on cocaine at the time.
