    No radio tonight

    Remember that cold I said I got last week on the trip?

    It's still here, and it actually got worse on Monday.

    Crappy.

    Anyway, no radio until this gets significantly better. The problem is that it's very hard to talk for hours straight when you have something like this. I've tried before and it just made the symptoms worse, so I decided I wasn't doing radio in the future with a cold, unless it's on its way out.

    Furthermore, I want to announce a small change to future freerolls. I am somewhat removing non-electronic means of payment for winners (meaning checks and cash). It's a pain in the ass to keep writing small checks to people who either don't have bank accounts or don't want to give the info to me. I also don't like mailing checks because I had that experience last year where someone at the post office stole my mail, and committed fraud against my account.

    The new rule will be that you cannot receive a payment in the mail unless you've accumulated $100 of winnings.

    I might be adding Venmo as an option for payment to make up for this, though the people this affects are also not likely to have Venmo.

    I was going to call in to discuss #pfapizzagate but clearly you're hiding behind your "cold" because YOU KNOW THE PEOPLE WANT ANSWERS.

    Then you'll be happy to know that I will do the show tomorrow Friday if I'm feeling somewhat better.

    Get a fucking flu jab ffs. It will make a difference. I'm on immune crushing drugs but my yearly flu jab suppresses both (unless i'm just super lucky)

    Also take immune boosting 'natural' supplements.


    Helps, I swear.

    now I'm curious...

    how many people actually request paper payouts? Use whatever metric you like. 1 out of every 6 people? 1 out of 30? How many checks did you have to send out last year? Do people do it with small payouts, then not cash the check, so they have a souvenir that's certified Todd, so to speak?

    It's not a flu. It's a cold. Flu shot would not have helped. I rarely get the flu.

    I don't even know. I do get emails maybe once every 3 weeks asking for paper checks. I just decided I'm tired of doing it. It's a hassle. And then there's that risk that the checks will be stolen like they were last year, which was a much bigger hassle.

    It's 2017, and there are so many ways you can get paid online, including Bitcoin. I can transfer to literally any bank account in the US.

    I've just decided I'm done mailing out $12 checks.

    I thought of you when I bought internet on my flight back from Philadelphia on Saturday.

    I thought to myself, "Wow, cmoney actually somehow uses this shitty airline connection to listen to radio."

    How does radio last for most of an LA-Tokyo flight? Isn't that like 12 hours?

    It has been awhile since I have been to Tokyo but last time I went you had an epic long show and it literally lasted from the time i left LA until I got to Tokyo. I was in United Global First class and with the show was best flight ever. Radio didnt cut out at all from LA to Tokyo . Had Internet the whole way. In United first class again so will just have to make it work without the show this time. rough life.
