Best fight episodes?
Can someone tell me which episodes the Billy fights were on? I think they must have been before I started listening!

Billy makes me pull my hair out
|
I'd rather stab my ears with scissors than listen to another KATG review of Parasite. *plays Chemda's Hustlers review again *
|
Andrea should be on all Billy episodes. During the early malarkey neither Billy nor Chemda were making a whole lot of sense, completely missing what the other was saying, but when Andrea comes in it's like she's the bridge/translator between them and it gets kind of beautiful.
I also liked that the episode briefly became Next Week on Only In New York, even though Keith apparently not having already heard the fisting story shamefully outed him as a non-listener of that awesome podcast. |
I was buying something using PayPal while listening to this episode. Now I can only read it as PayPig.
Thanks Billy. |
I watch a lot of movies in Russian (with English subtitles when my wife watches with me) and 90% of the time subtitles are just fucking awful, neutered, and dumbed-down, probably due to onscreen speed. It would be cool to see if any native speaking people saw the movie and weighed in on the dialogue. I'm sure in a movie like that dialogue could make or break the movie experience.
Also, I'm yet to see Hollywood movie where character pretends to be fluent in Russian and be comprehensible, c'mon, they spend months on a single fight choreography but can't get a decent language coach. |
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST...13:39 into the show. I mean goddamn it, Billy.

I watch most English speaking shows in the original now because I speak it fluently but obviously not everybody is lucky enough to have that training. And I agree with Lithunica it's super annoying if films have an actor pretend to speak a foreign language and totally butcher it - there must be plenty of either foreign actors you can hire for the task or at least use a foreign voice actor to dub it for them. |
omg, Andrea's mom is going to be on?
Holy balls. |
Billy seems like a nice guy, but man he is so fake deep.
|
Oh Billy, Billy, Billy....
I've been defending you this whole time. I thought you were funny. I even answered in a poll that I'd let you eat my box.. But you lost me in the first 10 minutes. Anyone who think the waiter should work for free cos you're on some soapbox about how restaurants in America run can GO FUCK THEMSELVES. Fuck you, Billy. If you give a fuck about the subject, write your god damn senator. Screwing over waitstaff is a cardinal sin in my book. You're a cheap, privileged, stupid asshole. Byyyyyeeeeee! |
Re: tipping/living wage.
I understood immediately what Billy was talking about BUT the moment it was clear that Chemda picked up on the wrong bit of it he should have immediately clarified rather than answer her tipping question abd go off on another thread. He is bad at discussions but I for sure have been stuck in a loop like this and I empathize. |
The percentage is debatable though. A lot of people still tip around 15%, depending on where they live. Mainly because it's the first option on the payment screen and it's been the default amount for years.

It's a fucked up system but it's a cultural norm. The way to not participate in it is to go after the people who created it, not the people who are stuck in it.

The part of the conversation you're referring to doesn't reflect his initial point, which is decidedly the opposite of elitest. He answered a hypothetical question on the fly and his answer was clearly imperfect and made up off the top of his head. Bad at discussion, yes. Elitest and shitty to servers, quite the opposite. |

If waiters need that 20% tip now (which I understand they do but also think is a stupid system) paying them a normal wage would just make restaurants more expensive. |

Servers get regular minimum wage in Oregon (which is still not a living wage but closer) and the prices aren't any more bonkers in Portland than in another large city.
I still tip 20% but if one or two people don't tip during a shift it's annoying but doesn't break you the way it might somewhere else. My boyfriend is a server and minimum wage plus tips has him making close to what I make in an office. We eat out a lot including a cocktail or beer and I pay between 15-50 each time including tip with the average being closer to 20-25. Maybe I'm remembering other cities prices wrong? |

The point I was reacting to was 'poor people should be allowed to go out to eat as well' and as Punkn pointed out if you can't afford it you don't get to do it. |

Oregon is raising minimum wage every july until it hits 15, but servers here will always get that plus tips. That's a living wage. |

Funny how I just fell into the same trap as Billy. I came here to say I see both sides of his show argument and ended up discussing minimum wage.
Or maybe I was just proving I empathize. |
the idea of being fisted is so frightening. i don’t understand how anyone comes out of that without a UTI; that’s a whole hands worth of bacteria.
|
Someone has to have a great level of immunity to be able to be fisted with hands full of bacteria.
|
I just got a manicure, and while I couldn't tip after, I had a note explaining that for the worker in my pocket; but, because my nails were freshly done, I couldn't take it out of my pocket to hand over. AWKWARD! (But still so worth it.)
|
Did Chemda not understand the original online tipping argument or was she purposely baiting Billy?

I thought he was saying that a person should be able to go to a restaurant even if they can't tip, but we couldn't really get his answer in the beginning because that was being evaded with: Waiters should be paid properly by their bosses. Did people hear him saying something else?
To me it was like asking how he fists someone. "Well some people take their fingers and - " No! What do YOU do! |
Andrea is the anti-Gootz.
She got fisted and didn’t know if she hooked up - Adam Brown |
Keith is just looking desperate after losing best rant of 2019 to the amazing Bianca.
|
Just between us, I loved Parasite. An idiot doesn’t JUST BECOME President of the United States, and no accident makes a bad movie Best Picture of the Year.
Aces. |
chemda seems to like to bully billy. it's not my favorite part of katg.
|
I'm not from the US, so I could be off... but don't you add sales tax on top of the price of stuff (VAT is included in the tag price in the UK)? You wouldn't be able to buy a shirt if you couldn't afford to pay the sales tax, so I guess it should be the same as tipping. If you can't factor in a tip, then you probably shouldn't go somewhere that doesn't pay its workers a fair wage.
It's a shitty system but you don't change it by feeding into it, and you definitely won't change it by essentially screwing over your server. |
Seems a bit elitist in itself to suggest that people who can’t afford to tip as much forego the restaurant entirely. I don’t see why I should pick between a poor customer and poor worker (basically two sides of the same coin).
|
Quote:
Also nobody said forego it entirely but budget for what you can afford. |
Andrea's vagina is the funniest fucking punchline. She's just the best.
I took from the Parasite discussion that I need to see Jojo Rabbit. It wasn't even on my radar, but I know what words are, and I still think about Parasite. |
