Talk:The Complete Guide to Everything

Tim's Last Name

It's Ruggeri. Here's why.

• There's a Flickr page belonging to a "Tim Ruggeri". It features several photos of a heavily bearded man who also looks like a 12-year-old boy, as pictured here. There are also photos of an "AJ"-- aka Algernon, who appeared in the Hip Hop episode.
• Tom's Facebook page lists "Tim Ruggeri" as a friend, along with the aforementioned Algernon.
• The TCGTE Facebook page features a video of the same bearded man from Flickr. Note the video's title.
• Finally, in the Diets episode, around the 34 minute mark, Tim says that his middle name is Daniel. Tim Daniel Daniels?

UPDATE - in defiance of all observable conditions, apparently "Tim"-- if that is indeed his real name-- really is named "Tim Daniel Daniels". In my defense, I don't think even Veronica Mars could have cracked this one. Presumably this is part of a death-faking scheme or perhaps Tim is just ashamed of his Italian heritage and/or needs an Anglo surname in order to succeed in the fast-paced world of podcasting. Of course, none of this can be verified by anything but Tim's word by way of Twitter, so I'm not sure if it should be allowed in the article, according to Wikipedia's standards of quality.

UPDATE - Tim Ruggeri. Near the end of the LOST Finale website-only episode, Tim says and then spells out his last name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.138.221.175 (talk) 05:08, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

I’m wondering if he changed his name because he works for a govt agency, according to LinkedIn. Maybe he doesn’t want the government to know about all the “Death to America” talk from his podcast. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flipflop333 (talk • contribs) 13:50, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

What happened to Chris?

It seems that Chris appears far less in newer episodes, has this ever been explained? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.44.4.116 (talk) 18:11, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Notability

I was looking into whether this subject passes notability and found a few sources that I think demonstrate that the show passes WP:GNG:

• Independent.co.uk
• TNT Magazine
• HLN
• Londonist (I can't tell if this is a reliable source)

BLAR

I've WP:BLARed the List of The Complete Guide to Everything episodes because I don't think the list passes WP:NLIST. If you disagree with my assessment feel free to revert my edit. TipsyElephant (talk) 16:42, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
