Episode 73 - Enter Halite
🕑 Added 2020-04-17 20:00:14 +0000 UTCThis episode begins with the introduction of possibly the greatest character in the history of the podcast (apologies to Bleriana, Jack Star, and the Robot Pimp) Greg Hale. He enters like a bull, in all his ogling, olive oil swigging, convicted murderer glory.
From there we'll move on to international intrigue, tired stereotypes, Idiot Switch theories, mediocre escort salesmen, and deceptive cities. And speaking of Deceptive, there's this week's Real or Fanfic!
For next week, read thru Chapter 60. Hopefully we get to Midge and/or Jabba by that point.

You can't make HAM radio operators sexy. We already are.

My wife made a live chuckle love poster for this book

I love this episode.

I listen while driving and may have missed it, but did we hit on this amazing moment? "Becker pulled a rose from the center of the room and casually smelled it before letting it fall to the floor. He spun suddenly. 'What can you tell me about the murder?'" I must have read that bit four times just to be sure I'd wrung every last drop of fabulous from it.

I just keep picturing Raul Julia in Overdrawn at the Memory Bank saying “I’ll try the password backwards! It’s so simple!” whenever Dan Brown describes network security.

Audio challenge: Dan Brown repeatedly uses “she choked” as a dialogue tag. Can anyone “choke” a line of dialogue instead of speaking it?

Pauly Shore learns Japanese Business culture is the movie I never knew I wanted.

Also-- speaking of passwords-- "Susan had chosen her code at random and had never written it down...five-character alphanmeric...was 36 to the fifth power..." so the shitty five-character password is case-insensitive.

Halite is easily my favorite, so far!
Mark Burger
Wow... absolutely the best Real or Fanfic to date.

If this book does not immediately scrap the existing narrative in favor of following Halite, I will be sending Dan Brown a strongly worded letter.
