Episode 52 - Hold Onto Your Buckskins
Added 2019-08-13 01:44:09 +0000 UTCWe've got a jam-packed penultimate Trucking Through Time episode! Curvy wives! Horny grandpas! Easily accessible caches of cowboy hats! A surprising amount of discussion about James A. Garfield assassin Charles Guiteau. And a reminder to wash any pre-owned buckskins you buy at the thrift store!
With only fifty pages left in Trucking Through Time, we have several questions: "How are they getting back to 2000 Atlanta?", sure. But also, "How many more meetings will take place in the general's office?" and "How many times will ChaDale remind us who the REAL savages are?"
We're also got a surprisingly tricky Real or FanFic and of course Dumb Sentences and emails. Plus we turn to the dark web to examine a heretofore unreported on Wild West career opportunity, and a secret fan theory for what was really going on at the fort.
For next time, finish the damn book!

I also don't think anyone would say "Canada" was spying or sending agents. It would have been Britain, via their colony to the north.

2019-08-17 18:52:51 +0000 UTCTekwar sounded like it was the most competently written, low bar as that is, but I can't get over the realization that Jake did *nothing* to actually impact the plot and everything would have been exactly the same if he'd stayed in cryo.

2019-08-17 00:37:52 +0000 UTCI think 1838 is the closest guess. Sitting Bull would be about the right age. This, of course, means all the technology is anachronistic. (No telegrams, e.g.)

2019-08-16 21:00:53 +0000 UTC"Art" is a strong word.

2019-08-16 01:21:55 +0000 UTCI need to walk back my reader mail just a bit. Harris manages a bit of art on page 333 when he deploys one last "dumb Indian" with full awareness of what he's doing. And especially because it's so iffy/edgy I thought it hilarious.

2019-08-15 18:25:37 +0000 UTCPage 320 hints at why Dale never mentioned his son before, so that's fun.

2019-08-13 22:59:54 +0000 UTCI'm really glad that the decline in quality (?) of the last third of the book was discussed this week. I thought it might have been my imagination at first. But these last couple chapters are horrendously written.

2019-08-13 21:14:52 +0000 UTCNot sure if this helps anyone, but I access the patreon-only podcast feed through the iPhone podcast app, and I am sure that url can be used in any podcast app. I’ve never tried listening directly from patreon.

2019-08-13 18:21:52 +0000 UTCI think the real question is: just how much does Collins suck?
Theodore Lehman
2019-08-13 13:33:30 +0000 UTCI can't believe how many dumb sentences were packed into just two chapters.

2019-08-13 09:06:06 +0000 UTCThe player works, but it just plays on the Patreon page. In the past, it would open in a new page, from which you could download by right-clicking.

2019-08-13 09:00:20 +0000 UTCThank you for “Keep your comments in your pocket”! When I was reading that passage (and automatically translating in to the Wiseavian), I started worrying that I am overexposed to The Room. Glad to see I’m not the only one 😆.

2019-08-13 04:31:47 +0000 UTCGarfield was president when Reconstruction was ending. They say that slavery is about to cause a war. So they send the telegram at the latest in 1861 and it doesn’t make it to the White House for over 20 years?

2019-08-13 01:47:50 +0000 UTCI have to say, it’s a great feeling to read the title of a new episode and know that your main takeaway from the reading assignment was identical to mine!

2019-08-13 01:47:19 +0000 UTCI'm excited!
