day 107 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show I've noticed an uptick in namedrops of tony bourdain, which I think represents a growing hunger for good travel content, which I know is expensive for dropout's structure, but there is gold hiding behind making even more

day 106 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show realistically, the most I could see this thread accomplishing is getting me in a handful of frames if a second season is greenlit, and against my normal recommendation, features Calgary, and you know what, would be worth

day 105 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show I'm aware location production has concluded on this first season, and dropout does have the good problem of every show being successful so how do you decide to cut seasons, but travel is delicious and the budget is worth it

day 104 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show as much as I believe most major NA cities are bad travel destinations, because they tend to be the same, Vancouver's value is its surroundings, and while the US' pacific northwest is fine, Canada's feels like a destination

day 103 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show rather up Jake's alley, as the aforementioned draft dodger population of British Columbia, the area does have that vibe of hippies and thus cannabis, driving BC is a nightmare but outside of traffic, Jacob would be at home

110

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

day 102 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show a little Jake visit to western Canada would mean a little break from presently living the stress created by you-know-whose administration, BC is largely unaffected and a lot of them are americans (draft dodgers)

110

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

day 101 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show not to sell anyone on a brand, but I know Jacob is a fan of the burger, and western Canada has a place shriveling and disappearing in the US, A&W, and while there are better locals here, he could pick worse for 100 burgers

110

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

manual ads at the start or when going to take a shit or something, but I'd still rather sit through a single 30 second preroll than 3 minutes of the same gambling ads every hour

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

day 100 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show if alberta would be part of the itinerary, and it wasn't already a licensing issue, I'd recommend against turning on the radio here because they very frequently play nickelback, it is truly worse than having no radio

110

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

day 99 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show you may have heard the statistic that Canada has the most lakes in the world, which seems easy if you've ever looked at Ontario on google maps, but BC lakes are the place for a travel doc, because people actually live there

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

day 98 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show I do sense a possible mischaracterization of Canada through a series Jake has likely seen, Trailer Park Boys, which takes place on the east coast and is accurate to that locale, but western Canada is mostly different.

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

day 97 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show I've driven from Calgary to SF before, every place along the way had at least one stroad with all the fast foods, but you can drive through a lot of places in BC and never see this, some don't even have a mcdonalds

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

day 96 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show my dedication to not asking for a job throughout this is that I refuse to download slack for any purpose even if there was $20k waiting on the other end, I really just care about a cool travel show

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

day 95 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show do you think there's room in a travel docuseries for every burger place between two major cities? because I think 100 burgers could be accomplished in a road trip between calgary and vancouver, some of them are even good

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

day 94 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show I'd envision my role as a glorified google maps, Jake might ask what the locals are eating, I know the popular place open since 1950, and what's succeeded it, I already have these answers for a fair amount of western Canada

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

day 93 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show I really do think I could be an ideal guide if Jacob wants a real western Canada experience, even if I may not seem like it, as someone who has a tremendous amount of time on my hands and no money or car or local friends

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

the headline I saw was "AI is inventing new neurotoxins" like cool? who's gonna make it? if the LLM spits out a successful recipe, it still takes humans to physically produce it, and the people capable not only have the wherewithal to say "let's not" but probably know easier toxins to obtain

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

day 92 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show I think where a lot of travel shows lose western Canada as a locale worth showcasing is in the big picture, I think Jacob is capable of seeing it, the contiguous string of interconnected small communities, untapped potential

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

day 91 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show for however long I'm gonna be at this, I can assure that I will have virtually nothing going on so I will always be available, besides early september cause that's when I do volunteering, but otherwise my time is not used

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

day 90 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show I can assure you (Jake, I guess?) that western Canada and the rockies in particular are actually worth it as travel doc goes, any tensions you may have heard of in regards to Canadians v Americans are greatly exaggerated

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

day 89 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show I recognize that Jacob does have the kind of joviality that he could get by anywhere on his own, but if there's any parts of western Canada you'd want info on in the event he comes here, research is probably what I'm best at

110

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

day 88 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show I await good new travel shows with a hunger, and far be it from me to say that I should be there telling Jake what to do, I want to be there to tell Jake what not to do, like don't waste your time going to Banff, it's bad

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

day 87 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show I'm not sure you can find someone as adamant in keeping Jacob free from tourist traps, I'm not sure other western Canada locals really understand what the tourist traps are, I want to help Jacob actually experience here

110

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

day 86 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show as I'm sure gas prices are bleeding the budget of any type of travel show, it's even easier to recommend the places I've been pushing, small cities in the Canadian rockies where you can walk the entire commercial district

100

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

day 85 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show for the record, I am fully willing to allow Jacob to take credit for my expertise of western Canada

110

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

day 84 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show if we look at the variety of great travel shows, (which again, none have done western Canada) you really have the pick of the travel niche and still be the first to do it here, food, driving accommodations, or weed of course

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

day 83 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show as much as I recommend against going to major cities, and that isn't changing today, some satellites to the major cities of western Canada do have value, for example Hope, near Vancouver, the filming location of First Blood

121

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

day 82 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show I admit I haven't the foggiest idea of any what filming permits would be required, or cost, in western Canada, but I do know they're desperate for American tourism so under-the-table permits they would see as free marketing

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

day 81 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show I'm sorry to say I might have to rescind a previous offer of chipping in for gas, as much as I'm not trying to get paid for whatever level of participation I'd have, I'm also not made of our dear Canadian Monopoly™ money

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

day 80 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show It's true if you've seen any major city in North America, you've seen them all, but the treasure is the smaller cities in western Canada, not as monochromatic as the towns, but you can find local-only weed, it's beautiful

110

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

day 79 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show I feel like all I've done is sell British Columbia, and there's a good reason, Jacob would not like the Canadian prairies, imagine arizona but cold, BC is like california but cold, totally different

110

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

day 78 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show another part of western Canada that's underrepresented in travel content, it's the northern halves of the western provinces, while my expertise there is a lot lesser, it does offer the experience of rarely ever seeing people

100

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

day 77 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show I'd speculate this show may have something of a road tripper deal, likely emphasis on "tripping", and if so, there is no better smoke spot than seeing no light pollution, which is super accessible in a lot of western Canada

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

day 76 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show consider how expensive any kind of professional tour-guide adjacent travel advice could be, I'm free by those standards, I'd even chip in for gas or road snacks (but I'm not buying nestle products, not even coffee crisp)

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

day 75 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show I offer my little growing-up memories of many of the places I'd still recommend Jake check out, though I then point out they were better when I was a kid, such that it sounds like nostalgia but literally they are worse now

121

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

day 74 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show while I can only speculate as to the show's budget given the corp structure and other show budgets, beyond the travel costs of course, the American spending power in Canada is a good way to pretend your budget is much higher

220

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

day 73 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show whatever kind of show this ends up looking like, imagine getting to say you're the first bonafide travel show to smoke one at a mountain lake, and you got the pick of the litter, BC does have approximately 20,000 lakes

110

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

day 72 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show I think it's hard to oversell what an untapped market the canadian rockies are for travel television, and don't get me wrong, the same could be said for the american rockies, but I been there and it ain't what we got

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

day 71 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show besides getting high in public in a town so small it doesn't even have cops, I can think of a lot of activities Jacob would find fun and many are very similar to the aforementioned

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

day 70 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show so far there hasn't been more information about this travel show besides sam reich's confirmation, but I do believe in Jake's ability to host and produce a compelling travel show, plus I know the weed sitch is gonna be crazy

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

day 69 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show I really can't stress enough how little there is to do in Banff, completely skippable part of western Canada, if Jacob never goes there he will miss absolutely nothing, any highlights it has are better in other places

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

day 68 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show if there's any part of western Canada I've been trying to sell as a locale, it's rocky mountain driving, but be forewarned that there isn't one good driver on those mountain roads and they are full of cliffs + blind curves

110

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

day 67 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show bearing in mind that I am perpetually cheap, I have spent decades learning what is most worth doing, seeing, smoking, in western Canada, which I believe makes me an asset for helping Jacob find experiences he could recommend

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

day 66 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show now I'm no every day mountain town commuter, but I have noticed none of the great travel shows have done the mountain towns of british columbia, and there's some tremendous Jake energy out there waiting for him to find it

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

day 65 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show if you research the places to go to beforehand, and you find some places in western Canada serving poutine, but then you see in the pictures the fries have no skin on them, do not trust them, it is illegitimate poutine

110

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

day 64 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show If this travel show is at all food focused, our major cities of western Canada can be overlooked as they're just melting pots, the gems are the specialty stores in the small towns, like the jerky stores or the fruit stands

110

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

day 63 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show Calgary may not have all the iconic film landmarks like the canal from Terminator 2, or Nakatomi Plaza, but we do have this bridge that was in some shitty movie with Steven Seagal and DMX, standing in for Detroit

A still from the 2001 movie Exit Wounds in which a truck is exploding on a bridge, there are several police bikes and a police car on the road, none of the billed actors from the movie are in this still

A screenshot from google street view of Centre Street Bridge in downtown Calgary, the same location as the still from the movie Exit Wounds, the Calgary Tower is visible in the background

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

day 62 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show if this travel show is on an interesting-places type beat, beyond just the sights, there's this new trend where some small town libraries in BC are hosting introductions to D&D, and you know they'd go wild for Jacob Wysocki

130

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

day 61 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show if Jake is going for any kind of road trip vibe, there's really no comparison to driving through british columbia, because there's very little flat land out there, you never have that view of only farmland across the horizon

120

pumpkin slut 🎃🦇 @vincentntp.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

day 60 of asking to participate in Jacob Wysocki's @dropout.tv travel show there's something of an art to the spread of small cities around the Canadian rockies, you have to consider that nobody in british columbia is more than 30 minutes from a beach, it is a province built for its smoke spots

110
