I have raised my hand. Good. Well done. I'm up here without having raised my hand. Is that right? According to you? Yeah.
Adam Leventhal 0:06
Yeah. I've never raised my hand once in my life. Just got something to say.
Bryan Cantrill 0:13
I just say, in fact, it's a common comment on my report cards. Elementary school. I came up a lot in the parent teacher conference. I'm stoked for this. Me too. I've used our last episode of the year. Yeah. Have you been binging our back catalog? A little bit. I've been binging the back catalog. I've been listening. Do we want to break with tradition and give the subject right at the top?
Adam Leventhal 0:36
Oh, yeah. That is one of my notes to ourselves that I've been taking while listening to the episode. So why don't we go ahead? That sounds fun. Okay.
Bryan Cantrill 0:44
Let's experiment with that. So this came out of our episode with Adam of Changelog fame. And Adam had pointed out that... In the changelog, they actually do a year-end wrap-up episode. So I was asking them, how do you point people to episodes? How do you find the episodes to point people? And he says, we always recommend that people go to these year-end wrap-up episodes. And we thought, that's a very good idea. So here we are. Here we are. I would say that, that not every idea he gave was a good idea in that pod. Well, I shouldn't say that. That's too critical. He recommended the changelog dance party. Do you call this? I do remember this. Yes. And the, are you getting echo from me? No? Are you getting echo from me? Yeah, I am getting echo. Just a second.
Bryan Cantrill 1:45
Maybe I'm just going a little slightly insane. Is that possible?
Adam Leventhal 1:47
This is a good time of year for it.
Bryan Cantrill 1:50
That's okay. You know what? Fine. Done. Sorry. He had recommended this changelog dance party to us. Yes. And my daughter and I were doing a menial holiday task, namely stuffing holiday cards. And I thought, this is a perfect opportunity for this changelog work music. And so I put on changelog dance party for my daughter. And her facial expression is hard to capture, but she said, it's giving old people. Have you heard giving as a – No, no. So it's like it's – It's translated. This is like it is giving me the vibes of – And she's like, yeah, this is giving old people. So I'm like, okay.
Adam Leventhal 2:47
Well, there was one piece of advice that Adam Stachowiak did give us that we slash you have not followed up on. which is the Breakmaster Cylinder intro for intro music.
Bryan Cantrill 3:01
I have not. I'm intimidated, actually, to do that. You've got to get over it. I've just got to get over it?
Unknown 3:09
Yeah.
Bryan Cantrill 3:11
I don't know. I just feel that, I don't know, I feel the break, you know, because I listened to so much Breakmaster Cylinder and Reply All, and I, in so, did you listen to some of the beats that Breakmaster Cylinder made for the people that called in to ChangeLog?
Adam Leventhal 3:29
Yes, and that reminded me how you haven't followed up with Adam for the intro to Breakmaster Cylinder. Like, what's the worst that happens? He's like, look, I listened to a couple episodes. And I don't think you guys need me. What's the failure mode here? That he just says giving old people when he listens to the episode and that's the feedback we get? I guess that is pretty bad.
Bryan Cantrill 3:56
Maybe don't ask him. Yeah, I'm a little bit worried about that. I'm just intimidated by it. I feel like also I think we're beneath him. I just feel like you don't, don't you have like much more serious podcasts to go to? I just feel like the money more. I know. I just feel like I'm intimidated, but I'm just intimidated.
Adam Leventhal 4:18
All right. Well, our commitment to you, the listener is that Brian will follow up on this offer. Okay.
Bryan Cantrill 4:26
I feel comfortable making that commitment. I need to do it. You're right. And you know what? It is my pledge to you. Okay, so how do we want to do this? Because we don't have Breakmaster Cylinder, so we can't do what Changelog did where they had Breakmaster Cylinder create these amazing beats for people.
Adam Leventhal 4:46
I would suggest topics. I think we have a couple of topic areas.
Bryan Cantrill 4:51
Are we not going to talk about kind of the elephant in the room? I thought we were going to... Okay, so I feel, because when we were listening to Changelog, they were talking about how much they agonize over the titles of the episodes. They were talking about that. And I was like... We don't have that problem. That's not what we agonized over.
