Close the Door’s 10th Birthday - Q&A

We’re as surprised as anyone, but our little podcast is almost a whole decade old.

To celebrate, we’re going to do an open Q&A episode. You can ask us anything about Jaime, Brienne, the ship, the fandom, the show, the drama, our beefs, GRRM, the podcast itself—whatever you’re wondering about. We’re in the mood to spill some tea! (And maybe drink some stuff.)

The episode will be recorded on 24 March, so please have your questions in before then.

favorite JB Cox moments in the hardy boys?

Any scene with Joe. Him and Joe were definitely one of our favorite pairings to see on the show.

There's a small scene in season 2 when Callie and Frank are investigating Rosegrave I believe where you can just see JB disguised as a gardener watching them. It's small but like once you see it, it's actually kind of hilarious to see.

Anytime Joe questions his motives and JB has to remind him that he is in fact A CRIMINAL.

His little jump scares. Always just popping up outta nowhere.

Whenever he gets protective over the kids. Specifically over Joe and Frank. He's like the criminal big brother they never had.

"If those kids are in any danger, I burn the map right now."

When he was so ready to be done with everything but the second that the kids needed his help, he was like, "fine. but then I'm done."

And of course, the way that he pushes the boys out of the way when Olivia tried to sh**t them.

Honestly, he was hands down our favorite side character. They way he interacted with the boys and the rest of the gang and just how he acted as sort of a "mentor" for Joe in a way. He was just such a great character and honestly, I'm still mourning his loss.

Recently started listening to “The Constant” podcast after seeing your post about it and wanted to thank you for introducing me to it. I’ve been working my way back through the archives and just finished up the Sister Pact episode, which I enjoyed quite a bit because I’ve always been a little fascinated by the personal and political causes behind supposed demonic possession cases. It’s nice having a new thing to get into and I’m really enjoying Mark’s presentation style. (…but if you or someone else reading has any other recommendations for things in an audio format, similar or very different from The Constant, I’m all ears.) Again, thanks for the intro, and have a good day.

Yessssssss my agenda is working

I'm really glad you like it! It's such a cool podcast and I really love Mark as a host, he's great.

Hmmm the other nonfiction podcasts I listen to are Maintenance Phase, a fat-friendly podcast about the health and wellness industry with a focus on debunking misinformation and pseudoscience, You're Wrong About, a podcast that looks into the truth behind well-known figures and events that have a lot of common misconceptions/got blown way out of proportion by the media, and Sawbones, a comedic podcast about medical history and some of the insane things that used to be considered medicine.

I also have a bunch of recs in my "podcast recs" tag that I'm still working my way through, and if anyone else wants to drop recs here I'd appreciate it!

#podcast recs #the constant #also a bonus i just discovered about listening to the constant: sometimes you will be reading a book #that namedrops JB Rhine and his research into parapsychology #and you can go '!!!!!!! yeah i know that guy!!!! i just listened to like three hours of podcast about him and his shitty methodology!'

I don’t know a lot about Jacks real life so I’m just asking what you are referring to when you say Alex wrote about jacks real life. Is he a big druggie?

I’m saying no but with the caveat that he’s a successful person under 40 in the entertainment industry who lives in LA so the bar is a bit more bendy. I personally don’t think Jack has ever had a problem or been so bad he’s needed rehab or anything, but he’s naturally a social guy in an atmosphere where access to anything is flowing. I think his friend group parties harder than say, Alex’s hometown couple friends, and that’s really what I’m referencing. For semi recent Jack configuration, I’ll reference you to this post.

#and now tbh I can’t imagine anyone without very inside knowledge having a strong grasp on this band’s personalities #twas different when they were young and extremely online and had an unhinged podcast. an era of transparency we will never have again #answered ask #jb #i hope this is helpful. it’s been months since I thoughtfully analyzed these dudes and idk what their perception is now #*

I fucking knew allergic in the way I use it wasn’t some unique Cork slang, like Irish websites like to pretend. Lin Manuel Miranda just used it in the exact same way.

#watching the nightman podcast episode #Google allergic slang and you’ll get all these articles about Cork slang and it’s like? #no that seems like a logical way to use that word? #jb

Thinking about JK and seven's success in the context of Taylor's recent streams bomb is fascinating. Yes her numbers are crazy but let's think about it - everyone on social media is talking about her and the album and they have been for weeks. I was listening to a political podcast and they signed off with the guy saying he's going to listen to the album ahead of time to make sure it's ok for his 5 year old daughter to listen to. She's literally a household name - even in households like mine where my parents do not keep up with with western artists. Yeah a lot of her numbers are stacked because of versions and payola and every platform pushing the hell out of her BUT STILL - there's something behind that push. People are tuned in! Everyone who's tuned into the cultural zeitgeist knew TTPD was coming. Same with Olivia Rodrigo - yes she has an aura of industry plantness - getting pushed right out of the gate and becoming a darling of critics everywhere for your debut album doesn't just happen. But again, her albums are GOOD. The songs are well written and she was clearly deeply involved in every step of the way. Everyone knows driving license and the story behind it. Payola as a concept is annoying especially when so many deserving artists get ignored because they don't have it but it's undeniable that after artists like TS and OR get all this payola, their songs become the moment. Everyone's buzzing about them and listening to their albums.

What is seven? It's numbers are at TS and OR levels right? If you think about it seven debuted with more streams than djo's end of the beginning did and it's charted higher for longer. But which song launched who as a solo artist to the GP that Hybe desperately wants? A song with numbers at that level but what is the ground level reality of its popularity? The most telling thing is that after that completely insane debut seven had, if it was really such a great song that everyone incl the GP had tuned in for, those people should've at least checked golden out. That is the point. That was scooters strategy. Have seven become the next baby or driving license and capture the GP interest so it sustains for the rest of his debut.

The point is that people will compare his numbers to other kpop acts but he didn't get a kpop debut. He got the kind of debut and platform push TS and OR get. So his numbers are good at a kpop level but did it achieve the objective? I have to imagine the objective was that JK became the next JB or the next OR or....as Hybe keeps trying to do, it was for him to become the next BTS. No, Hybe can keep trying to push a particular narrative because JK is their sunk cost fallacy, but inspite of goldens streams and sales eclipsing others, his debut was not successful.

It is irony because people can and will bring up his numbers in relation to Jimin or Tae or lesserafim or whoever and act like JK is doing amazing but I'm telling you now that the reason JK's debut makes me so angry is because if Jimin had had that world cup stage for a solo debut, that humongous deal wouldn't have just been a footnote of cool places BTS have performed at. It would have been a noteworthy performance. We have ten years of his solo stage to prove that. It's this wasted potential that gets me so heated up about JK because of all the opportunities he got. Compare the payola put in versus results gotten and the mediocrity is staggering considering what I mentioned other artists have achieved with that payola level in my first paragraph. The only reason I think about JK is because of this - it drives me mad.

Sorry this got...long and ranty 😭

i must've said this last year already but yes, he had a bigger debut and numbers (after debut) compared to other kpop or korean acts, but he was really nowhere people like Taylor or Harry, to whom everyone compared him to. Let's not even talk about Michael Jackson and how hard they tried that he'd be namedropped alongside Jungkook.

The most important difference to me is that people RESPECT Taylor. They respect Harry, and they respect Michael even so many years after his death. Soloist Jungkook doesn't have that respect. BTS might've gotten really close to have it, but not them as soloists. Part of it might be because he's korean, sure; but more than anything, he doesn't have people's respect because he has not earned it. Period. He hasn't done anything that would gain him people's respect or admiration.

Taylor had a moment where she lost people's respect too - she went completely MIA, didn't show her face in public for years, she was the laugh of the town. Granted, a lot of it was pushed by this insane, psychopathic hate culture and spurred on by Kanye West and Kim Kardashian simply because they're people who just like to get involved in shit. Taylor's never really had a scandal (she's actually a really sweet girl and so incredibly smart too), but because they -the Kardashians/Wests- thought it was fun to hate on her, they did it and everyone jumped on the bandwagon because if there's something people on the internet lack, that's a personality of their own.

Now she's regained all the success and people's affection she had before that, and ten thousands times more. The haters moved on, found jobs probably, Kim Kardashian isn't even that "big" anymore, nobody talks about her and Kanye is an unmedicated man roaming around with seemingly no direction whatsoever. Taylor came out of that being in a great space in her personal life, had spent a couple of years inside her home with someone who loved her, wrote and release lover and everyone flocked to it.

Then came folklore and evermore, which were the albums that really did it for her; those albums are crazy good and so different from everything else everybody was putting out that moment. Many people who'd previously thought she was too bubblegum pop, or that her songs were silly, changed their mind, started taking her seriously as a writer/singer and became fans after listening to folklore and evermore; and those people stayed. Those people are still listening to her music. This isn't something I see on the internet, but I went to her concert last November and everyone I talked to had become a fan in 2019 or after.

But she also knows how fickle it all is, and she's talked about it. Is she wrong for wanting to protect what she's worked all her life to build?

She's a business woman, it's true. And many "stans" on the internet hate that, for some reason that I really don't understand. Because taking the reins in their own careers is the only way people are able to survive in music, literally. I don't remember where she said it, but it was Beyonce precisely who said once that she didn't have a seat at the table, so instead she built her own table. That's Taylor, too. Not because Taylor was underprivileged or anything, and but in the business sense. These women don't become billionaires because they "only do music", there's millions of people out there, doing music on the streets. They become billionaires because they're doing business too.

Most people don't want others to be successful, or at the very least they aren't really hoping and praying you'll do well. Mostly they just don't care. And I've said this a lot of times in relation to BTS too - that all the members were looking out for themselves and their own solo careers and that was it. I've said before that Jimin is not a business man, and I don't expect him to ever be one, but I also wish for him to have at least one person standing by him and his decisions. It'd be great to believe doing arts today is all glitter and parties, but it's a business as much as being a wall street guy is.

Maybe it's so overwhelming to me because I've been a Taylor fan since 2008 right before fearless came out, but people really don't get how unprecedented her career is. I was 13 in 2008, the year my sister was born. Now, it's 2024 my sister is 16 and she's a Taylor fan. Without me even intervening, mind you, because we don't live together. We went to the concert because she wanted to go.

How many people can you say they had a career in music 20 years ago and not only are they still at it, but they're getting bigger with each passing year? Because I honestly couldn't name you one single person apart from Taylor.

Maybe I could say BTS if they were active right now, but that it's yet to be seen because the fandom did go downhill after butter. PTD wasn't as successful as butter or dynamite were, and let me not even mention the group songs that came after because that was embarrassing for them.

Also, another point but men rarely -if ever- bring anything new to the table. Armys, especially those who like Jungkook or Yoongi, are the epitome of hypocrisy because what has Jungkook done that's spectacular? Be shirtless? Please.

His songs were mid, the singing was mid, the dancing was below mid. They really are in no position to speak and shouldn't be taken seriously. And this takes me back to the respect thing and how he really didn't do anything to gain it.

For some reason I'm also thinking of Lana del Rey who was literally BEGGING people to listen to her album, and even said that she'd hoped her album would go viral and not that photo of her working in some fast food place. You have loser gays on twitter going lana this lana that, but they don't really respect her either.

This is something I've said before, too; but time really is the only proof of how "impactful" an artist is. Olivia's had a great run so far, but will people remember her or talk about her 10 years down the line? Is she still gonna be relevant? Is BTS still gonna be revelant? Is Jungkook gonna be relevant? Great debuts are great and all, but in the end it doesn't make an artist, as well as a bad debut doesn't break one either. I've also said this about Jimin before; that if he still wants to have a solo career after military, the only way to go should be up. This Taylor type of career where you get bigger with each release is literally everyone's dream and it actually proves that whatever you've been doing until that moment has worked and people can't get enough of you.
