Recommendations I took from the Recommendation Podcasts
First off... @JamesAltucher Can your whole podcast just be recommendations? Or could you start a side podcast where you do a 2nd interview with the guest and have them recommend 10 things. I LOVE these episodes.
It's a bit A.J Jacobs sided but I think A.J. is just the best!
1. Askhole
I downloaded the free version and printed it off on heavy card stock paper I have lying around because I am a preschool teacher. I put them in a Christmas Gift Bag. In another Christmas Bag I put Truth or Drink that I printed off. One night during my winter break I am going to ask my boyfriend to pick a bag and we we will ask those questions.
2. Derry Girls
I have put off watching this FOREVER. I don't know why. It just seemed like a teen show that I had no interest in watching. well... When you lose your voice and you can't teach.. you need a good series. SO I binged it. A.J. hooked me because he said "history".
3. The Dice Man
I went and read a sample of it. It's ok. I really just need to get back into reading before I buy another book. James had mentioned this on one of my posts before. If I can really get into a habit of reading.. I think i'd like this book. My favorite place to read is on a subway in another country. That's not happening right now.. sooo.
4. Yellowstone
I already binged the first 2 seasons last year. I LOVE IT. I keep subscribing to paramount thinking that it's where I can see the other seasons. It's not. I LOVE BETH DUTTON. She's insane. But once you know her back story it makes a little more sense. I now want to watch the woman that plays beth dutton in every movie ever.
5. Delta Sky Club
I don't fly that much to belong to such a club but.. I have been wondering if I should try and get the American Express Delta card. I'd love to get points just for flying.
6. Email someone smart
I haven't gotten to the point in the podcast yet. But I do this all the time. I started doing it back right after college. I'd read a good book and I'd email the author. I almost always get a response. I emailed Barry Schwartz after listening to his ted talk about The paradox of choice. I asked him his advice: I was working the check out counter at Best Buy and I thought it was ridiculous that I had to offer customers soo many things. He was easy to contact. Professors have their emails on the college site they work for. He emailed me back within the hour and said have Best Buy headquarters hire me as a consultant. Lol.
7. Bose Headphones
Are awesome! I live in my friends basement. Her boyfriend is LOUD. He is one of those people that never learned the term "inside voice". He will be standing 5 feet away from you and will have to shout what he's telling you. I got the Noise Cancelling Headphones! Thank you Mom <3
