I'm not that familiar with the Twitters, but I'm guessing this is probably in the running for best tweet ever?

I'm 100% certain that any falloff in MBMBAM jumbotron sales is entirely attributable to Justin's decision to no longer create jingles for individuals.

TACD posted:Both of these last two shows the penultimate, dog-related question has been way funnier and more bizarre than the actual Final Question. (Last week's was something about wanting to persuade two dogs to act out Lady and the Tramp and eat spaghetti politely.) It may not have been uproarious, but I'm pretty happy to have heard the line "from the band, The Beatles" and this is really the only context in which that could have happened.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:This might not be the proper thread for it, and if so I apologize, but does anyone else think that the amounts of money that Maximum Fun is asking for during their pledge drive (120 and 240 dollars a year for "Silver" and "Gold", respectively) are kind of...crazy? I noticed they aren't even halfway to making their numbers, and I can't help but feel that the relatively high minimum amount of money they are willing to accept (there's literally no way to pledge less than 10 bucks a month that I can see right now) is part of the problem. Yeah, I'm a donor at $5/month and I was willing to bump that up a little bit during the last pledge drive due solely to how amazing the MBMBAM bonus episode was, but the next step up was $10 and I wasn't really looking to double my donation. At some point in the past there was an option to donate at an arbitrary level, but that must have disappeared two or three pledge drives ago.

Whatever you're doing right now you need to stop it immediately, because there is no way it can be as important as listening to Sydnee McElroy describe to Justin the events of Tyrant Banks' novel Modelland.

Roach Warehouse posted:Right you are, it slipped me by because I'm not interested in being a challenge donor. The "thanks, here's your stuff" email should have come in a few days before the "how's about being a challenge donor" email. As for the bonus episode itself, I enjoyed the hell out of the Night Trap reveal. I didn't care for Justin bemoaning the lack of a Money Zone, though. The entire episode is a Money Zone, you clod.

VDay posted:This is a really minor, dumb complaint, but I think this marks like the 4th or 5th week in a row where Justin's either mentioned his age, said "I'm old", or used "I'm old" as an excuse for not understanding something. Hey dawg, you're loving 33. Maybe it just bugs me because I'm 27 and am instantly reminded of the people you'd meet in high school and college who were like a year older than you but acted like they managed to obtain an infinite wealth of knowledge in that extra year. This ends my dumb complaint. Enjoy being 27, dude. It's basically the point where your body switches from living to dying.

I mean Travis and Justin do sound really similar, but after the first ep I heard I could parse them. At this point I can identify any working west coast comic by voice, but I'm useless with faces.

Before you do that, and I support your decision 100%, you should really watch Dave Shumka's ASMR tour of the Stop Podcasting Yourself studio. It's the best. http://daveshumka.tumblr.com/post/100720459121/stop-podcasting-yourself-studio-the-asmr-tour

I was pretty torn up this year about whether to check MBMBAM or SPY as my favorite Max Fun podcast on my donor form this year. Justin's involvement in Sawbones ended up breaking the tie in the brothers' favor.
