Re: [dmcoco84] JRE BASE Number
So... it was a little before midnight on 11/11, that I saw the post from earlier that night in Leroy’s thread; “unIntentional BASE Pictures in the real world”. Have always loved that thread... but nowadays every time it comes up, it’s also quite depressing; since he absolutely should have been at KL 2009, as planned.

Forum has seemed a bit slow too, unlike a decade ago... and have briefly wondered if there was anything similar I could post that would be fun/entertaining.

I regularly need something short to listen to while I work on certain tasks, often searching on YT for “Joe Rogan on” or “Adam Carolla on”, and eventually noticed that he was just shy of hitting a “100 away mark”, from my BASE number. But the thread idea didn’t come to me that night, because I remember when it did, 1039 had been posted (making it less than 10 away - 11/14); and Damn, Iliza Shlesinger is Smokin’ Hot!

Why does that part matter to me?

Because she was born on George Washington’s Birthday...

I still haven’t had time to listen to it (her second appearance since the studio changes), and have also only had time to listen in full to a dozen or so overall. However, in recalling Steve-O’s two ridiculously hilarious episodes, I also wondered whose BASE numbers corresponded to them.

After deciding I would probably be posting sometime after 1047 was up... yesterday, again, needing something short to listen to, the first two JRE clips that came up were about fights I hadn’t yet seen, the third was about Louie CK, and the fourth... was a skydiver; “Joe Rogan Talks To Crazy Skydiver About The Risks of Skydiving”. Which was not on his “JRE Clips” channel, but a fan page, and it was from that description, I learned it was from Episode 1047; the “100 mark.”

Talk about an “interesting little coincidence!”

Now, I’ll admit, I’m horrible with names. I had indeed seen that 1047 was up, but when I saw his name, didn’t realize who it was (using my bookmark that goes right to the videos tab for his channel; which shows no descriptions, only names and numbers) - (but was vaguely aware of the WS record). Though seen after the fact, he was also on #720 (11/10/15), and while there have been a few Navy Seals, it appears he is the only BASE jumper to have been on the show.

So... definitely decided to post after that.

And am looking forward to seeing who is on for 1147; and what day that falls on.

Re: [dmcoco84] JRE BASE Number
I missed Andy Stumpf by one episode and ended up with comedian Doug Stanhope. JRE shows are too long for me to listen to each one, but when the guest is interesting I'll add it to my queue.

Re: [Ten48] JRE BASE Number
GRIN -- Had to happen to somebody... but Stanhope is a good one!

The ending of the bit from his appearance on Louie, gets me every time. "That’s Gross!"

Where, this is pretty interesting, but with a F’d up ending joke; but, hey, that’s comedy.

And back to JRE: this was good to watch/hear; Bobcat on the topic. -- I’m not one to post on any anti-social media platforms whenever a celebrity I like passes away, but I will say, his suicide did bother me greatly; especially given several aspects relating to What Dreams May Come. So, this information was, "comforting", to a degree.

Re: [dmcoco84] JRE BASE Number
Well ... I started off my new year nicely. Not with a jump (not this year), but a few hours after the countdown I was finally able to start #1047. Watched most of it, but finished just after midnight the next day, and since then have also finished #720. Both were well worth the time:

#1047 was the better of the two, and very ADD-esk: lots of good topics covered, but with a handful I would’ve liked to hear more on.

#720 was also great, but I definitely preferred Andy being solo. Tait is an interesting guy, but was honestly a bit annoying in the beginning with his “it’s the corporations, man” and a bit more. But he eventually stops, and does redeem himself.

Best topic covered ... the Javelin Missile Story. That is a Bad Ass Missile System, and “top-attack” is one of the sickest fucking things I’ve ever seen. Have long known about it, was super jealous as soon as it was brought up, and then the story was awesome.

Did take some notes while watching. Most are things I personally found interesting, but a good chunk are straight topic changes; definitely not a full list. And some are, not surprisingly, “interesting little coincidences.” lol.

JRE BASE Number
Wow. He's Really Knockin' Em' Out...!

100 sure is going by super fast; now only 7 more, as of today.

So, in the mean time, figure I'll do one myself... since I'm reasonably sure it won't be posted, otherwise.



This is one of my Absolute Favorite Pics (Attached): BD 2005 -- Psycho Bob, Brits17, and my dad; Steve.

Poor, Poor Psycho... he's heavily medicated here, because he went boom boom on his tush.

But, Must Say, it Was, a perfectly executed "coccyx PLF." - 428 has pics. Ouch!!

The Cocos met Psycho Bob at Dirty Ernie's first thing that morning (early as f**k); with the 3 of us arriving at the same time, and having been nearly the first people to park there. It was my second Bridge Day, but first for them, and we hit it off immediately! Cold, but nice getting to know each other in the parking lot waiting for it to fill up. We rode the crane truck and stood in line together as well; it was awesome. But it was quite a bummer for us to then fly right over Psycho, seeing EMS rushing to and attending to him (near the waters edge). Not fun seeing your brand new friend get hurt. Thankfully, as seen, he was still able to enjoy the party with everyone!



Now... you might not be able to see (that she hasn't been on in 2,179 days.) Frown

Oh! But I most certainly can Cool ... Because We Are Friends.

BJ Official Friends! Oh Yeah!! %socialmedia -- BJ4Life!!!

However ... I can't see her other friends, or the friends of any of my other friends; so, I'm not really sure what the point of BJ Friends actually is, currently. Pre-Approved Forum Stalking? Simple Error? Is there a hilarious old thread that could shed light on this? If so... should we address this before the next DZ/BJ design(s)?

But I digress... Cool.Cool; and of course.

Brits17 - BASE 919 -- JRE #919: Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Brittany was one of my very first BASE friends ("outta town" friends -- where, as can be read in other threads, for years, I was the sole experienced jumper in Hampton Roads. So, I loved Bridge Day.) And though we have hiked together, we have yet to actually share an exit point. Or, we've shared the E for our Chicken BASE#, lol.

Kinda "jealous" of her JRE BASE Number: I really like Neil deGrasse Tyson... but at the same time, he also puts the Ass in deGrASSe. Depending on the topic, he can be quite the asinine, arrogant, AssHat (919 pun not intended, though perfect). But, when not on those topics, I do love listening to him, and enjoyed the new Cosmos series.

This is my favorite example of NDT being NOT the smartest person in the room, and being utterly shocked:

- Computer Code Discovered In Superstring Equations

This was the first video I ever saw on the topic. Video is of illustrations mainly and other pictures; includes specific audience questions (at 2m7s) and more on the error correcting code aspects than below.

- Original Video - Short
-- Starts 11 secs earlier than the above, ends at 4m36s, and does not include audience questions.

- Original Video - Longer
-- Starts 1m57s earlier, 6m32s is the endpoint of the above, and at 9m11s; NDT being funny.

Pretty incredible...


I thoroughly enjoyed both of the Neil deGrasse Tyson (podcast) episodes, were well worth the time, and I would definitely recommend watching #310 first, as I did.

Re: JRE BASE Number

Ya know...

If ya don't like a thread, ya don't have to be a BigfcknDingleberry about it; "Mind Your Business."

In reply to:
"...these transcriptions. Their relevance is lost on me." ---- lol.
This reminds me of a middle school English teacher I had. Whenever a stupid ass question was asked, she would simply reply, "Reading Is Fundamental" ... AKA, you're a moron, go read the text (or similar).


"transcriptions" ---- G-d Damn that's funny... but only a few people will even know why; for now.


So... the very first, statement, made in the main text of this thread is specifically about Leroy, and this forum:
("I saw the post from earlier that night in Leroy’s thread; “unIntentional BASE Pictures in the real world”. Have always loved that thread... but nowadays every time it comes up, it’s also quite depressing; since he absolutely should have been at KL 2009, as planned.) -- Which is in addition to the fact, that every time I want to look at yet another favorite pic, of my Aussie Buddy Phegan (Attached) ... I have to be reminded that my friend made a whole slew of stupid ass decisions, and now he's gone.

Yeah, nothing to do with BASE.


On top of that... after immediately providing yet additional purpose:
("Forum has seemed a bit slow too, unlike a decade ago... and have briefly wondered if there was anything similar I could post that would be fun/entertaining.") ... And, having just noted that a friend of mine (who used to be very active here) hasn't been on in 6 years, maybe because it's been boring as shit, for years ... You then bitch about its location, on said boring (significantly deserted) forum. -- Good Stuff. Thumbs Up!

Yup ... Definitely not relevant to BASE or the Forum.


But see, what honestly makes this comment... feeble minded ...is that the very first person to constructively contribute to the thread (who has an awesome user ID, especially given the thread at hand and his position in relation to the main topic) ... stated: "JRE shows are too long for me to listen to each one, but when the guest is interesting I'll add it to my queue."

Where I then stated (far later, due to being fckn busy as fckn fck), "Did take some notes while watching. Most are things I personally found interesting, but a good chunk are straight topic changes; definitely not a full list."

So, Ya Know, since it's the main topic and all, with everyone being super fckn busy these days... figure best to Spread the Wealth Around a bit; share it, give someone the ability to skim what interests them easier.

Which is exactly what I then did for brits17.

Maybe, enabling someone to participate.

Geez ... Aren't you the selfish fck!



Too long for either of you?

Would you like to take a nap?

Need your nappie changed?

Nope, we're not done.



Overall, I've posted (personal) notes on 4 Podcasts; for 2 Men, with 2 each.

Wow, I am such a jackass for taking up all this BJ server space.

But, Dude... I'm Really Knockin' Out These Transcriptions!

Gonna post all 1147 Transcriptions here in this thread!

It's much more important than working on the NPS!

Or, if you'd kept your fckn mouth shut, 1147 would stream, I'd post (without personal notes if the guest sucks), and then if no one else cared, it would soon be right back on page 3 where it was when I posted 919.

So Yeah, this is all Definitely not BASE related.

Some BigfcknGingleberry Nonsense Right There.



Now... another thing I found very interesting, and (instead of waiting for mine) partially prompted me to post, for my friend, in absentia, is that the actual podcast for said friend (with a very compelling yet often arrogant Astrophysicist), was live streamed on Feb 21st, 2017. The day before George Washington's Birthday.

And on top of that, "JRE Clips" had just barely started; Feb 15th, exactly one week before the 22nd.

deGrASSe has a single "JRE Clip" on the 21st (just the ending; all on Hawking), but 4 on the 22nd; with his overall "JRE Clips" being #12-#16. (Now, posted mainly on the same day.) So, surprisingly... his first "G-Dub JRE Clip" is #13 -- (12:47… Little scared there are people walking among us afraid of the number 13.)

And if you hadn't already noticed... "CoCo" was on for Independence Day, even though the actual Independence Day is July 2nd. Am I now going to "transcribe" each of the 5k times Joey Diaz has been on with Joe? Nope.

Just like I'm not going to do so for Doug Stanhope; who's been on 9+ times since the start. Maybe, I'd do, one, given all these "interesting little coincidences." But I'm quite busy, so if Ten48 wants it done, he can obviously do his own. However, I will certainly share related stuff like, this. -- And it's no different than my comments above about Steve-O's two. I've watched them in full twice and have skimmed for certain hilarious parts on occasion. Where if you like the guy, you surely won't need any notes from me.

But for an Astrophysicist ... Yes. I grew up with "the planet Pluto" (01:28:34... Pluto); that crap pissed me off! But, his explanation is very reasonable. Maybe someone doesn't have time... but they could listen to just that "one thing" for them; And Fckn Learn Something! Or Share a Story About the (JRE) BASE Number holder.

It's not quantum rocket surgery...



And no, we're still not done. Because here's the kicker... Hanzo; the 2nd constructive contributor:

"(but was vaguely aware of the WS record)" -- For very specific reasons, this statement greatly bothered me. Why was I only, vaguely aware? -- BASE, but no Miles, and reminded of his record from the "JR Fan Page" clip: "Joe Rogan talks to Andy Stumpf who is a skydiver and wingsuit flyer that broke the world record by flying 18 miles in a wingsuit, on the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast, JRE 1047."

So, I figured out where I'd seen it... Nov 11, 2015 11:18 am

Ah, there it is, that's why... Row 11, Column 1; BFL 151

It's because given the quantity of guano on my plate at the time, and BFL 151... I guess I was able to, "block it out", slightly; or, "back burner" it. But as soon as I saw that again, at the very end... oh, I remembered.

See... if it weren't for this, talking about Miles would have been a perfect Ice Breaker if I had the privilege of meeting Andy someday. Because Miles and Avenfoto threw me off the KL Tower for my 200th jump (Attached). And Avenfoto had the honor of sharing Miles's 2,000th jump immediately after; Chuck too, of course.

But now, that's clouded by the fact that if Tyler had simply called me, he wouldn't have gone in on one of the very first objects I personally scouted and opened; solo. A Fckn Horrible Object: quite tall forest with sketchy LZ, setup obstructions, obstructed and difficult climb out for exit, and a whole slew of equipment on the tower. And as the person who Blatantly Lied (in PM to other individuals, which I DO have) in claiming to have opened it said, in the incident thread, it's also very dark and one directional. So, every aspect of the incident (public and non-public knowledge), along with the first lines of the BFL, is absolutely insane.

I agree with Larry Pennington: "[It']s a very unforgiving sport" -- "It's an entirely different breed of cat from skydiving" -- "There's nothing wrong with a BASE jump as long as it's done properly and legally and is done with the proper gear" Pennington said. "If you don't adhere to the laws - not only of the state, but of G-d and gravity - they both have serious results."

Unfortunately, he clearly didn't learn from the mistakes of BFL 101. And like the Blatant Liar above (with all his "disciples"; amassed before leaving the state), Tyler was also "mentoring."

So, that's all just Wonderful ... We lost 2 Navy Seals that day; one fully, and one (iirc) partially. For Nothing!

All this, as it's stunning how many posts there are for locals and (actual) experienced jumpers on this forum.

Could've PMed Coco; not hard to find me. Could've had the entire playground I'd opened up at their disposal. Including a lower and far safer FSer (SL or FF), was "right down the street", same area (if truly "pressed for time"), and a much lower bust risk. My Father has jumped it... but he surely will not be jumping the former. Furthermore, which can still be read in the incident thread: my father just "happened to be on the medic", remarkably, at that very specific station, on that very specific morning.

Happening, exactly 4.2 Miles from Chuckatuck Volunteer FD. -- Uh oh... More signs of the simulation?

Where it is also not lost on me, that the very first "modern fatality" occurred right in my playground. That tower was long gone, but it was very close to the main (and sole) object "we had" when I began jumping. Not a single jump I've made in Virginia, has that not been on my mind. (Note: I was also present for BFL 100.)



Likewise, with another Aussie, my favored with Pidge is now sorrowful. Have lots of pics/footage, but here, I've got a two week old broken ankle from Lysebotn. -- With flydive/melissa0622, was "Team Broken BASE."

Even Ted Rudd is on my list, yet another from Lysebotn '07 (six weeks worth of friends; but Pidge was LBV first, in Nov '06, with all those fckn Fins... and kipa.) -- Funny, I've actually got some Finnish blood, on my mother's side, so, definitely... Fck the Fins!!

However, I mainly bring Ted up because I, may, have a story or four for Hanzo.

"Shrug" -- Am I allowed to resurrect a thread?



Oh Well, That's Life...

...and now most people are over on CrackBook.


Bottom Line ... As I recently said in another thread, I'm now well into "double digits", and if you count them all (like a friend who fell off the edge with his stash bag on his back; who I'd skydived with, but sadly never BASE), I'm pushing 30. We just lost Carol "The Queen" Clay too. -- So, thanks for shitting on my efforts to liven things up here... and obviously, deal with all that crap; and a heck of a lot more. Thumbs Up! Good Stuff!!

The only thing you and others likely can't comprehend, yet... is that this thread is 100% about the NPS.

Aw, Damn. Does That Confuse You? (20:48…“The Universe is under no obligation to make sense to you.”)

So... I'll let Rogan Wrap Up.

It's perfectly ok, I do understand... you can take it out on me; I don't mind.

But, ya know, the Revolutionary War is that much more proof we live in the Matrix.

Why wouldn't you want this on BJ, or even BLiNC...?

Boole posted Bieber three times, and you don't even post Boenish, here. lol.

This is quite specific; I'm not transferring all your FB posts here... I've got better things to do; like not bitchin' about Trump on CrackBook.

Don't be a dick, Coco.

If someone asks you not to post their stuff, or to take it down once you've done so, you should just do it--not argue with them about it.
