Happy November! We are back with a new episode.
Topics discussed in today’s episode:
Of all of the home electronic devices ever created, the most nefarious is the printer. All printers, no matter the type or brand, are out to take our money and only give us pain and suffering. There is no good printer, only varying degrees of worse. “I’m sorry, I can’t print black and white because you are out of blue.”
In this episode of “If you’re like me,” Joel and Rome talk about printers and the following other topics:
Welcome to If You’re Like Me for July 17, 2021. Today, Rome and Joel catch up about Joel’s new dog, reaction videos, and the problem with Twitter.

It’s been ten months since our last episode. With all of the change in the world (and our busy schedules resulting from it), we have not been able to get together.

This week on “If You’re Like Me,” Joel talks about his approach to eating apples, and why there really is no apple core.
Other topics: being on call late at night, The Price is Right, getting people to pay to make their own food, wearing masks, and the Ninja “Rich Brew” mix.
Welcome to another episode of If You’re Like Me. On this thrill packed episode, Rome announces his new award for general awesomeness (or at least many years of participation). Also, Joel has discovered a great way to make lawncare more fun: using fire.
Other topics in this week’s episode:
Stay safe during your social distancing, and thank you for listening.
In these days of quarantine, we are all turning into Rome–listening to old music and staying home.
“An internal monologue, also called self-talk, inner speech, inner discourse or internal discourse, is a person’s inner voice which provides a running verbal monologue of thoughts while they are conscious.” Do you have an internal monologue? Rome Maynard does, and the voice in his head makes sarcastic comments that he sometimes cannot repeat. Joel doesn’t think he has an internal monologue, at least not every day.
We also discuss typewriter, assembling furniture from boxes, and dressing for success when working from home.
Rome talks about a silent German film called Die Große Wette. Does it still exist?
We are social distancing at If You’re Like Me, but that’s ok, we’ve been socially distancing and not watching sports for years.
On today’s episode we talk about how life has changed under covid-19, working from home, Rome’s new puppy, and the death of Kenny Rogers.
We also watch the 1971 classic The Andromeda Strain, directed by Robert Wise. You can watch it with us–just pause the podcast and restart it after the movie is done.
We hope everybody stays safe in these unusual times. Thanks for listening.
Today Rome is excited because it is Smallcreep’s Day, a holiday that, as far as our researchers could determine, is only celebrated at Rome’s house. Listen to find out more about what Smallcreep’s Day is, and why you should join the celebration.
