Oh, crap. Taxes are due today. Hello. Welcome to Daily(ish) for Monday, April 30. Currently It's 12 degrees, feels like 10 degrees.
Speaker 1:This is not a weather podcast. This podcast is brought to you by Patreon supporters at Patreon, patreon.com/ichris. That's where you can go to support what I do here a little more directly and contribute to my paperwork at tax time, which is today in Canada. Today is April 30 when taxes are due. Well, tax filing your taxes are due where you have to say, like, hey, government.
Speaker 1:Here's what I made. Here's what happened last year. Here's where what I donated, all that kind of stuff. All that kind of stuff. I should have a tax for however many times each time I say all that stuff, but I digress.
Speaker 1:And so if you're a small business owner like myself, then there's no none of that fun unless you're losing money, I guess, and you're really in the hole. There's none of that funny fun time tax time thing where you're like, maybe this year I'll get a refund because throughout the year, don't pay income tax. So, the smart folks of us set aside money for income tax at the end of the year. And, I think in the six, seven years that I've been doing this, I don't think I've ever set aside money each month for income tax because I am silly and dumb that way. So it's kinda like in in where normally doing your taxes isn't fun to begin with.
Speaker 1:At least for some folks, there's the possibility that you'll get a refund, especially back in the days of, like, when you had school and stuff like that. It felt like you'd kind of forget about how you're paying for your education, but you get a tax refund and and somehow that was like free money even though it's really just means the government's been holding money for you that you could have been using or investing or whatever. So I will say that's maybe my excuse why Friday I didn't have a Daily(ish) because I ended up spending Friday evening, partying and doing my taxes. And, so that's my excuse for missing Friday's appointment with y'all for Daily(ish). And in lieu of that today, I'm just gonna have a little later episode where I'm just trying to talk about some of the, media, the TV sort of things that we've been consuming here at the Good Stuff North headquarters.
Speaker 1:I think I'm the northest. No. Maybe not quite. Jen and Paul, who host Clockworks and, Way Too Serious, I guess, are part of as part of Good Stuff here. They might be a little further north than me.
Speaker 1:They're definitely further east. I don't know. I'm not gonna look at a map right now. You can tell me later on Twitter. IChris on Twitter.
Speaker 1:So we have our usual suspects of, survivor, and we kind of have lost track of what happened with Amazing Race. It's you leave the country for a month and kinda lose track of things. But, definitely, all in on Survivor, enjoying the season so far, and, I just can't remember anything right now as I record this, but I know we're enjoying it, question mark. Westworld just relaunched, which is a show that we really loved the first season of and are kinda digging the second season, although the first episode, yeah. We'll see.
Speaker 1:I don't wanna spoil anything for anybody. We watch we're up on This Is Us, which, the second or third season, I forget which one. We watched one season on Netflix, one season on Real TV. I think it's two seasons are done now. Second season was a little bit meh for me.
Speaker 1:It had a lot of the first half was really good. Second half, not as much. Kinda felt like we're now now that we've got all the major story points out there in the world, we're just kinda like gonna turn into evening soap opera territory. So I hope there's a little more, like, I guess, return to the storytelling elements of the first season that it felt like. On the old Netflix box, we're, I'm loving the Dave Letterman show, which is my next guest, it's called, with an interview a month, basically.
Speaker 1:And this month's is Jay Z who, I we have actually haven't watched that yet, but, really good interview. I just again, I I love, David Letterman's style. I mean, not everything he says is amazing. He's kind of sometimes a little too irreverent or a little too unpolished maybe, but, I appreciate his style of interviewing and storytelling with guests. And then also, we watched the series, I think it was six episodes of Wild Wild Country, which was a documentary about a, I guess, depending on how you look at it, either a cult or a religious group that kinda took over this town in in Portland or Oregon.
Speaker 1:Sorry. And and they yeah. Back in the eighties. And so it's I I think you just need to watch it if you're at all interested. It's a documentary.
Speaker 1:It's told for the most part fairly well. The first three episodes feel like it's a bit of, like, surface y, not really getting into anything too deep and building you up a bit for the last three episodes, which is true. And then, I just was in Googling because I couldn't remember the name of it off top of my head just before. There's an article on The Verge that actually goes titled, here's what Netflix's wild wild country doesn't explain about cult leaders. And, something that I felt was missing from the documentary was just sort of a deeper explanation of what exactly was so attractive about this guy that this guru that they all followed around the world.
Speaker 1:And, like, they talk they say that they were in love with him and they thought he was amazing, but they don't really say why exactly and what it was specifically in day to day kind of, like, things that he did or said that was so attractive and so appealing and made them wanna drop whatever they're doing and go follow him. And so this article, think I'm just sort of skimmed it, but I'm gonna Insta paper it for later. It goes into a bit more depth for, those of you who were watched it maybe and were, like, wondering what actually was going on here. Alright. That's our media consumption in in a nutshell anyways.
Speaker 1:There's, I'm gonna see, I think, Black Panther again with a friend for the second time in in in advance of hopefully seeing, the Avengers at some point, trying to remain spoiler free on that one. And, excited just some of the spoiler free discussion I've seen anyways of, this big climactic event and wow, I can't believe they went in that direction with a series and all that kind of stuff. It kinda is making me a little excited about seeing it and, might have to just skip work and, go go see it in the afternoon or something just to avoid spoilers, I think, but we'll see how that turns out. What have you been watching on your Netflix and or TV consumption diets these days? You can tweet at me at I Chris on Twitter If you're in the, Good Stuff Discord now it's called, the Slack, there's the Daily channel in there.
Speaker 1:Feel free to drop a comment in there with what you're watching and what you think of the stuff that we're watching or the, of course, Good Stuff subreddit, which all those links are in the show notes, which you can find at goodstuff.fm/dailyish/240eight. And I think just so, like, I can put another marker in, think for 02:50, I'll maybe which will be, I guess, this Friday that I record that. I'll maybe kinda just do, a summary of what Daily ish is. So if somebody's like jumping in right now and thinking, I should start listening to that show that Chris babbles on about sometimes on Twitter or wherever, and feeling like maybe you have to jump into 250 episodes of dribble. Maybe we'll we'll sort of reset on episode two fifty, but we'll see.
Speaker 1:Alright. Thank you so much for listening. Thank you especially to Patreon supporters, patreon.com/ichris. Thank you for your support, and, thanks to all the listeners of Good Stuff Shows for sticking with us. Hope you have a great day.
Speaker 1:Bye.
