I think the point of the thread wasn't so much about differing opinions as it was about a personal insult about a persons voice irritating them, which is probably not necessary as a thread topic
Why would you want to have someone that tries to entertain you every week hear such negative ridiculousness?
I'm sure the suspense won't kill you, but it could hurt someone.
Please don't encourage this stuff.
It's kinda mean.
Ha I'm glad whenever I visit Orlando it's my pet hate where in everyone is like omg you're English. Followed swiftly by the exclamation "oh you're Scottish me too!" They never are haha!Haha, I know he ain't a Scott!
Ah cool. However Scotland is part of Britain (as is Wales) so that statement doesn't really help us poor Scots always getting forgotten and the Welsh even more!I'm going to go out on a limb here and speak on behalf of Tonyz and say I'm 99.9% sure he was being facetious and knows he's a Brit.
Isn't Northern Ireland part of the U.K. also?Ha I'm glad whenever I visit Orlando it's my pet hate where in everyone is like omg you're English. Followed swiftly by the exclamation "oh you're Scottish me too!" They never are haha!

Ha it's part of the UK but not Britain. Great Britain is the land mass and UK is the kingdomIsn't Northern Ireland part of the U.K. also?
I'll admit, I'm terrible at understanding Scottish accents.
A friend of mine's nan was Scottish and one Christmas Eve we were eating dinner and she asked me a question that I thought was "can you pass me some bread" (after the 2nd or 3rd time I said "pardon?") so I passed her the bread basket, and she repeated herself again (angrily) and I was helpless until my friend came over and said she was asking me to butter her a piece of bread.
I've never sweated so much in my life
Well I'm Australian and we were asked if we were:
A. New Zealanders
Or
B. English
We sound like neither.
I'll vote for that, bigtime!! She's a beautiful girl!!My only REAL issue with the show is the lack of Abby. If we could at least get a weekly pic of that adorable dog, I will consider the show complete.
But being the Queen of AlwaysRightVille DOES, because I DECREE it does!Just because they have a different opinion doesn't make them right
If you're right, that's really a daggone shame, since the tone of one's voice is not something they can change, even if they want to. So that can definitely hurt somebody's feelings.I think the point of the thread wasn't so much about differing opinions as it was about a personal insult about a persons voice irritating them, which is probably not necessary as a thread topic
I know I'll get flamed for this, but I have to say there is one person whose voice just rubs me the wrong way.
Does anyone else have someone that makes you groan when you hear their voice?
Edited to add:
It was a topic of discussion at work the other day; voices that bother people. I was curious to know if other people have issues with certain tones or types of voices. Being on tv, radio or podcasts I always assumed had to do with having a certain type of voice. But I'm beginning to think that isn't the case or maybe I just have strangely sensitive hearing.
I apologize that I didn't spell out my question well enough.
I love all 3 of the podcasts and miss The Trip greatly as JL, Tess and Craig were a great combo.
I'm sorry to hear that.Craig has the same sense of humor I do
I'm sorry to hear that.
I give the credit to Pete for assembling this incredible ensemble of character. Not an episode goes by where I don't laugh out loud or hear an interesting take on what's going on. I just wish we could get more people per episode.
I appreciate your attempt to walk this back, but your point was very clear with your opening statement...
Your post had the potential to hurt someone or several people. Luckily, other people derailed this unsavory conversation.
