Detours - A behind-the-scenes podcast of Antiques Roadshow. Some of their deep dives get mindblowing.

Have You Heard George's Podcast? - A British black poet rhymes the entire duration of each episode dealing with black issues, relationship issues, culture wars, pretty much everything you can think of.

Business Wars - Deals with two or more companies and their rise and falls during competitive years. Gives some really interesting backstory to companies I never really thought about.

Conan O'Brien's podcast mini-empire:

Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend - Just Conan interviewing people and getting to know them on a personal level. Sona (his assistant) and Matt (his producer) are fantastic.

Three Questions With Andy Richter - Andy interviews different people and deep dives into their lives and careers and is very retrospective. Almost like therapy sessions

Inside Conan - Two of Conan's former writers deep dive into all of Conan's shows' histories and interview former guests, writers, crewhands, pretty much anyone that ever worked on the show.

Why Won't You Date Me - Nicole Beyer talks with guests about relationship/sex issues. It sounds basic but she's fucking hilarious.

Those are some of my favorites. The interview ones are a bit long but the first three are fairly short.

Loved the students' responses. That was very much a case where they didn't need to be calm and respectful. Getting loud, angry, and upset would have been justifiable.

But they were very critical in their thinking and gave this asshole MULTIPLE opportunities to clarify himself and dig himself out of the hole he was digging.

Would love to have these kids in my class.

Questionmarktarius posted...
How do you apply fire codes to an alley?

That's the problem. Apparently the bars and nightclubs are only accessible from the back of the buildings. Is that because of general social prudishness, or just a lack of space?

My point was that safety codes are not taken seriously here. Fire codes are extremely basic and yet they are ignored left and right. Something like crowd control would be ignored even more so.

There is no social prudishness about bars and nightclubs here. It's a very common thing. Public drinking is everywhere too.

Space is at a premium in the bigger cities, especially Seoul. But some buildings will have shared spaces. So on the front facade of a building could be one business and behind that business on the rear side could be an entirely different one.

I haven't been in Itaewon in forever but most night life areas like that are in a somewhat grid-pattern with criss-cross walking areas. So there will be clubs and stuff nestled in smaller pockets and corners like that area where the crush happened.

Master_Kazuya posted...
I can see why this kinda thing is privy to America but perhaps it's just a human thing. I would've thought a more...organized? country like Korea would have either culturally or systemically better organized things.

It was a culmination of a few things that all just resulted in tragedy.

  1. It was the first time the mask mandate was completely lifted since late 2019/early 2020
  2. It was Halloween weekend.
  3. It was Itaewon which is a very popular bar/club spot
  4. It was in a very narrow and uphill street/alleyway
  5. There were not many police officers stationed in the area compared to the number of people partying
  6. Of those officers, not all of them were doing crowd control. They were split up for drug busts, violence, etc...
  7. There were peaceful political protests (against the current president) happening in another part of the city so some cops were assigned that duty.
  8. There were no crowd control areas stationed. No one to direct flow of traffic.
  9. A LOT of the people were in their late teens or early 20's. So for them, this was the first time since the pandemic hit that they could go out and party with people. Hence how massive it was.
  10. Safety measures in Korea are more suggestions. Bribery for police to look the other way for violations is not uncommon here. Even higher-up political officials will let building manufacturers get away with a lot in exchange for kickbacks.
  11. Whenever massive tragedies like this happen, Korea will have a period of mourning, scapegoats will be lightly sentenced, and nothing will be done to remedy the issues. Most likely, all festivals will be canceled for a few months (like Halloween celebrations have been), and then things will resume as usual.

Itaewon is the most popular bar/club area in South Korea. And Korean regulations for size capacity/fire safety is lax to the point of being ignored.

Mandatory masks in public areas have been scaled back recently as well. So this was the first time a lot of people had to go out and party since mid-2019.

So all of that mixed in was just a recipe for disaste.r

Nice job not answering the question, what has Jay-Z said that compares to what Kanyes been saying?

@Gwynevere

I am not sure what they are referring to but I did see an opinion piece about The Story of Otis where Jay had a a line saying "Why you think Jewish people all own land" or something like that.

The writer was saying how this is anti-Semitic because it perpetuates the stereotype of Jewish people owning everything and hyper-focused on money.

It's not my place to say yes or no since I'm not Jewish but I think what Jay was trying to say was trying to compliment the Jewish community while also questioning why the black community has done something similar.

So yeah, nothing like what Kanye is doing in the slightest. I think Jay was just trying to give props in a way that comes across as stereotypical.
