Agreed. I also wish people could see the last minute scramble before a show when any performer goes out sick last minute.

I watched the CEO on the Amber Mac podcast last week because I was curious what was taking so long. He said that they initially planned to base the app off of the Bluesky app. When they got into it, they couldn’t do all of the things they wanted. So they started from scratch.

I guess being reminded to drink water is better than getting emails about people leaving a mess in the kitchen.

That’s fair. As someone who works in customer service, I’m sure I wouldn’t appreciate being recorded.
I do feel though that people will talk about bad customer service far and wide even without video. It may not go viral, but can do just as much damage.

For what it’s worth, I wasn’t aware of that Heated Rivalry was coming on Crave here in Canada until the week it premiered. Maybe I wasn’t looking in the right places but now I am seeing it advertised all over.

I would say that it is more the departments that are not present during a normal show that frequently forget HM’s. Or even better, assume that we can make magic happen with little to or no notice. I love surprising and delighting people, but I need to be in a good mental health place to do so.

I normally listen to your podcasts on my commute, but I am very glad that I listened to it while I was working around my apartment this afternoon so that people didn’t look at me strangely when I was laughing about Chachi and Moby. Great episode!!
