You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!

They're just following the stories as they develop, as is only reasonable. I do get it if it gets annoying, though. If I've heard enough of a topic I'll just skip a video.

Jim also does this better than others because the weekly Jimquisition episode itself is generally (obviously not always) about something else than the current big outrageous story happening.

A lot of the time it feels like they're padding out the runtime on a video to get it over 10 minutes though, as they'll completely recap the entire history of the controversy. I get that a new viewer might need that recap, but it's a video that you can just link to and do a 15 second summary of. I don't know if this is a holdover from old YouTube click tactics or whatever but I remember Rudy on the Alpha Investments would always joke and put in 'filler' to make his videos at least 10 minutes long.

Like if everytime someone mentioned the scummy things WWE is doing and Dave had to recap everything just from the last year the shows would be four hours long and it would make more sense to provide that context in a radio show where you don't have the luxury of linking to things.

I've definitely heard Youtubers say it's still a thing that The Algorithm favours longer videos, so padding a video out to reach the 10 minute mark remains something you have to do if you want the video to show up in more recommendations.

Jim Sterling is a delight and I’d listen to a pro wrestling podcast that had him in it.
He did a show called WreSterling for about ten minutes. I wish he'd bring it back, but he makes a Jimsquisition every week and does podcasts and other videos, so I just don't think he has the time.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

There's probably a dedicated thread somewhere on this site. And this isn't what the thread is about. And your voice(s) is probably better heard or more impactful on social media.

But while on the topic. The current state of play:

Komen is synonymous with breast cancer charity and is the overwhelming choice of NFL teams. The lack of "You should give to X instead" in the twitter replies rightly mad about Komen is a shame. :shrug:

Glad that Sandra is back in wrestling. She was the highlight of Total Divas for a minute.

He probably thought it was an obvious statement and didn't expect what kind of responses that engenders on Twitter.
