A Night At The Opera

By tbrunner - Posted on 15 May 2009

There’s this pub in my town called the Opera House. The establishment is so named because, yes, you’ve guessed correctly, it used to be an actual opera house many years ago. As local legend has it, the use of the building as a theatrical establishment was limited to a mere few performances back in the early years of the 20th century, after which it was unceremoniously turned into various incarnations of community hall, scout hut, bingo hall, and for sometimes lengthy periods, vacant space.

Introducing my quirky local drinking establishment and its colourful clientele, while sneaking in some cheeky opinions about Facebook and Twitter.

Shite Happens

By tbrunner - Posted on 05 May 2009

Hiya stranger. Nice to be talking to you again after a ridiculously long break of nearly eight weeks. And I’d like to assure you that a gap of this length between shows on a podcast that appeared to be weekly, is in no way the norm. Rest assured that during every one of those eight weeks I was thinking about the show, but just not doing anything about it. The reason for this is as boring as it is true: too much work – the paying kind – and too little time. I know, it sucks to lose sight of what really matters while trying to make a buck, but hey, it’s the same shit we all have to deal with. Or is it?

How my mind tricked me into taking a break from this show. How the show will now move in a slightly different direction. How all of this is a good thing.

Still Running Behind

By rogerminton - Posted on 11 March 2009

The erstwhile Mr Brunner has informed me that he will probably not produce an episode of So Sue Me! again this week. The dude has been horribly ill for the past few days and has fallen behind on many things, including his own personal hygiene (a topic that needs no further elucidation).

He has however managed to do some nice updates on this site which he sincerely hopes you will appreciate. We have also done some brainstorming on the new show. If we can pull it off, it should be epic!

Out To Lunch

By tbrunner - Posted on 07 March 2009

Sorry that there has not been a So Sue Me! for awhile. Shit has hit the fan elsewhere in the wormhole of my life. The next show will probably be in another week's time.

Other news: We are definitely doing the new show! It is not going to be called "Out There", as there is already an undoubtedly inferior show with that name. But I have a MUCH better (albeit stranger) name which will fit the concept of the show much better anyway.

Who The Hell I Am

By tbrunner - Posted on 13 February 2009

Now that you have been pounded with five podcasts full of my uncompromising opinions, you are probably wondering something along the lines of “Who the fuck are you?” And this is a perfectly reasonable question to ask, given that you are taking a bit of your precious time to listen to this show. But let us remember that we live in a world where every nobody on the planet empties the contents of a brain handbag on the internet every day. So who the fuck do I have to be? Let’s just say that I’m claiming my share.

A little bit of truth about Todd Brunner. A little bit of fiction that we all believe every day. A little bit of background for the benefit of future shows.

Working on new show

By Digger - Posted on 10 February 2009

Just want to let you know that we (and yes, I do mean WE, which comprises all three of us) are working on a new show. It's a video podcast and will probably be called "Out There" unless there is already another show with that name, which we of course, haven't checked on yet.

We may just do one sort of pilot show and see what you and we think before actually committing to a new weekly show. It's all up in the air at the moment, so no time frame yet. Stay tuned.

I Want You To Want Me

By tbrunner - Posted on 06 February 2009

This week I’d like to talk about the difference between need and want, specifically as it applies to how human beings relate to each other. As it’s a distinction that most people never make, it’s certainly worth looking at for that reason alone, but I’d also like to talk about it because understanding this difference it is key to how I live my life. Now, in case you hadn’t noticed, clueing you in to how I think is what this podcast is all about, and the reason I do this is, of course, completely selfish. You see, I’m hoping that by selling you my unconventional personality, I can later sell you something else that you might otherwise not want to buy. The whole thing is a huge plot to swindle you, that I gleefully undertake because, (a) I NEED to feel superior to other people in order to feel good about myself, and (b) I WANT the large piles of cash that this podcast and its conceptual offspring will undoubtedly net.

So Sue Me! - 05 - I Want You To Want Me

All about want and need. Why it's better to want, but we usually just need anyway. Should you be handing over responsibility for your life to someone else? Is relationship failure the result of too much need?
