I'd really like to take one more shot at lolling @ the Advertising Conspiracy. They can BARELY get a jumbotron out at the required date, but can somehow co-ordinate deals with advertisers to put in secret sarcastic anti-adverts for reverse psychologying us into eating poo poo food?

Maybe the Jumbotrons are all so late because Jesse Thorn shoves them aside to make room for corporate sponsorships.:tinfoil:

People who like a thing thinking they're above other people who like that thing because they like it less than those people are so much worse than people being overly enthusiastic about liking a thing.

I want to make sure my position is clear in case my previous post wasn't: I don't really care how people appreciate this show. Chase your bliss, you do you, etc... Dress up as whoever, post the art you drew of whoever on whatever Facebook page, buy however many tickets to however many shows in however many cities you want.

I just don't want to interact with those type of people personally, because that is not how I, as an individual, express my appreciation for the media I consume.

I think my favorite fan interaction form a McElroy, maybe even the only one I like, is Griffin getting gifts of in-game currency almost exclusively in units of 69 and 420 in literally hundreds of messages during PeaceCraft.

How much do you think Taco Bell paid them to repeatedly yell directly at their chief marketing manager about how bad their decisions are?

I wonder if it ever gets to him when they do live shows and he gets the least applause. It's more equal in the newer recordings, but it used to be brutal.

Then, Griffin was my favorite.
And now, I love what all three bring to the table equally and in different ways. Thank Travis for Travis.

(That said, I don't listen to any of his other podcasts.)

Travis doesn't make me laugh the most consistently, but he makes me laugh the hardest. He had the best jokes on @midnight, and his line in the last episode "if you want to look older, try to look younger" was incredible.

Taste is subjective. I won't be listening to the podcast because I think I've heard all I need to hear about those shows, but there's no point in bemoaning what someone else likes.

the wise gem bowed her head solemnly and spoke: "theres actually zero difference between good & bad quartzes. you imbecile. you fucking moron"

I went to the first Boston live show. All the fans i met there were very polite, cute nerds and there was a good amount of cosplaying (two people near me dressed like Taako and Lup and they looked loving rad)

I hold the live audience questions to a different, i guess lower, standard. I enjoyed seeing these nervous fans get up there and have a little fun participating in the event, it didn't really matter that the questions weren't amazing. I'm more forgiving/encouraging of fan culture than most though. And apparently the second show had more straight-up cringey bits.

Also, i somehow lucked into a literal front and center seat. Like, practically leaning on the stage and looking right up at those excellent boys. This would... not have been my first choice, actually, but it was still neat. (Number of awkward eye contact moments: 5, and they were all Travis.)

Travis is kinda the best at live shows anyways, so hopefully the audience learns to recognise this.

misandry is real
Travis has one, maybe two, good jokes per regular episode but during live shows is definitely when he shines. The audience seems to love him, and he's definitely the most comfortable up there. Griffin is the worst live, he leans too much on his "Griffinisms" and seems very nervous. Justin is the best both live and pre-rec because he is the oldest brother. I say this as an unbiased older brother of 3 boys.

Travis always seemed like the oldest brother. He seems the wisest. Justin always seemed like the middlest because of being so goofy.

Justin comes off like every oldest brother I've met, where he acts kind of aloof and know it all ish. Like when he refers to their dad as his dad.
