The Talk Show (Episode 30)

  • Dan Benjamin: So let's set expectations here for people. I have a commitment from you now — and this is going to go out, this is going to be public — I have a commitment from you now, that you will record a Talk Show with me once a week, every week, going forward.
  • John Gruber: No.
  • Dan Benjamin: You won't come out and say that, you won't make that commitment?
  • John Gruber: I won't commit to anything. Thanks.
  • Dan Benjamin: So, to clear this up, the reason that we don't record, it's because you don't want to commit to record — a recording schedule.
  • John Gruber: That's correct.
  • Dan Benjamin: It's not because I don't want to, or I'm not available.
  • John Gruber: That's right. Leave 'em wanting more.
  • Dan Benjamin: Yeah, you can leave 'em wanting more by only recording once a week.
  • John Gruber: We'll see.
  • Dan Benjamin: So you're going to commit to once a week?
  • John Gruber: Yeah. Once a day, every day.
  • Dan Benjamin: [Laughs.]
  • John Gruber: Every day.
  • Dan Benjamin: That'd be great.
  • John Gruber: Every single day. I'll have a sandwich, cup of coffee, and we'll talk for six hours.
  • Dan Benjamin: If it was up to me I would record all the time.
  • John Gruber: Ah well, me too. That's why I said I would do it every day.
  • Dan Benjamin: You won't do it every day!
  • John Gruber: I will take your once a week and I will raise you to once a day. Every day at 10am.
  • Dan Benjamin: Really. Can we live-stream it?
  • John Gruber: More or less. Sure. Whatever that— I don't even know what that means.
  • Dan Benjamin: That means you and me talk, and people can listen live, they can ask questions, they can interact with us. We'll talk about news and issues.
  • John Gruber: Ahh… no.
  • Dan Benjamin: No. Just us talking.
  • John Gruber: Right.
  • Dan Benjamin: Alright, well then I'll see you tomorrow at 10.
  • John Gruber: Alright. See you then.
