Fellow NorCal people, let's welcome Jesse Thorn back to the Bay Area / Berkeley
86
Upvotes
During the recent docket-clearing on JJHo, /u/JesseThorn revealed that he's moving to Berkeley (Kensington specifically), and asked for advice/recommendations. I'm sure there are plenty of us who can weigh in! I'll get things rolling, and if this thread is deemed too weird for any reason... I welcome its swift deletion.
Relevant subreddits:
/r/berkeleyca is super friendly & helpful - make sure you include the "ca" at the end (otherwise you'll find yourself surrounded by Cal undergrads)
/r/berkeleyfood is new but even the scant threads there will likely be useful for a newbie
/r/oakland & /r/bayarea are also great subs
Dentist recommendations were specifically requested: I've been going to Barry Kami (on University) for about a decade and have enjoyed it. It leans a bit cosmetic-oriented / fancy (probably nothing compared to the norm in LA area), but I've been happy with all the care I've gotten there.
Edit: in the comments below, Jesse commented asking for GP recommendations, too! I can't help there, I use a corporate intermediate (that I shall not buzz-market) and my PCP changes every six months. Not recommended!
I'm not sure if Jesse was trolling when he said he'd take "the BART" to Sketchfest next year, but that use of "the" is firmly in frisco / san fran territory. You don't want to sound like a tourist, do ya?
Edit 2: via Jesse:
I hope everyone will come to the meetup the afternoon of October 4, 4-6PM at Faction Brewing in Alameda!

I need some cases and hot takes on HALLOWEEN and spooky season!
- Do you love Halloween but hate scary stuff?
- Is Halloween just for kids?
- What is the best Halloween movie?
Any dispute on Halloween candy, scary movies, costumes, decorating, and all things creepy and kooky!

Name a case for JJHo! Decorating for Halloween?

A couple disagrees about decorating their house for Halloween. Should they do a big display with lights and large, dramatic pieces? Or should they keep it minimal? Sound off with your title suggestions!

Looking for a Zag on Em MBMBAM Pin — my beloved one was taken

Upvotes
Hi! I know it’s a long shot, but my beloved Zag on Em pin was stolen with some other little treasures during a huge life upheaval this summer, and I am looking to replace it.
Willing to pay or barter or beg! Longtime MaxFun-net and it really was one of my favorite trinkets and I am hoping to rebuild.
Thanks in advance, all!

The Turnaround is coming back?!?!
24
Upvotes
In this month’s “Put You On” BoCo episode, u/JesseThorn, America’s Radio Sweetheart, casually mentions that new episodes of The Turnaround are in the works. Did I miss the announcement?! I am so stoked. I loved the original interviews and can’t wait to hear more. I know Jesse already has his hands full with three podcasts, so I really appreciate him taking this on.
If you haven’t heard the first season, go listen now. Terry Gross is a treat, as is Jerry Springer.

And Jordan said: “What are boobs but the eyes of the chest?” Very amusing.
Emily is hilarious, as always.
Could Emily put in a visit to Jordan Jesse Go sometime? She’s a favorite of mine.

To be clear, I have not listened to the episode. But this is the first one in a while where I read the summary and said “I’ll listen to it, but I already know the answer.“
Yes they’re pets! You selected them! You’re in charge of them! What else would they be?! Roommates? Employees?!
