I was there, it didn't seem that bad. There were good bits! Just a parade of idiots taking over the show to talk about their cheese Daddy at the end and the brothers not being assertive enough to tell people to stop going up uninvited

Man, I'm actually genuinely intrigued to hear the thing that finally broke them and made them institute more than 1 rule to audience questions. I almost hope they do release it this week.

Well the funny thing is they actually did issue the second rule that night "your question has to be a question" and most people adhered to that. Except one guy who once he asked it, three or four people uninvited kept coming up and adding their spin culminating in them very uncomfortably luring Griffin to the edge of the stage to show him pictures on their cell phone.

So that's where they came up with the "grab two people and ignore one if necessary"

aNYWAY,
tHAT'S REALLY ALL THERE IS,
tO REPORT ON THE SUBJECT,
oF ME GETTING HURT,


I really don't get the guys who try to preface their question with like, "okay so this is kiiind of a bummer" or "I swear there's a question at the end of this, but first". Even if you really do have a bit of a bummer or just want to tell a rambling anecdote, what's the point of trying to awkwardly get their permission beforehand? If you really "have to" (you don't), get up there and just break a rule, they're not going to give you carte blanche beforehand and you're just guaranteeing the questionwill be seen that way.

Because, historically, every time people don't preface their grey-area question with a disclaimer then the brothers cut them off to question if what they're saying is a bummer / an actual question

stop taking live audience questions and instead make a disclaimer that if they don't get enough emailed in questions or yahoos, they will just let travis do an episode of schmanners to fill time.

I went there a while ago to look for some sensible chuckles, and started digging into one of the top rated Yahooist's post history. What I found was tens of thousands of questions about whether this or that was a good baby name. Just, is Michael a good name for a boy, is Jessica a good name for a girl, multiple times a day, every day, for years.

Yahoo Answers is like the Overlook Hotel of the internet, except it drives you to madness faster and has more dudes getting blown by dogs.

Yahoo has been a fringe-conservative hellhole for over a decade. This is that makes the handful of Answers submitters true heroes.

If you're Griffin, at what point do you go to a Doctor and ask, "my body is broken, how do i fix it, so i'm not constantly sick." I don't think i've heard an anecdote or show that hasn't involved him mentioning bad bowels, dayquil or just overall sickness.

I think in one of the extra bits for the TV show the brothers were talking about their childhoods and how Griffin was basically a bubble boy/the boy from the Secret Garden with mysterious sickliness, so his health is just kinda like that

According to a deleted scene from the TV show he has "brittle bird bones" and possibly "that disease that the boy in the secret garden had".

It's a -2 modifier, but that's murder if you're playing a small hit die, and there's no way Griffin is rolling any larger than d6

from the amount of people who go hog wild in live crowds when he pulls one out, i think this would be too much a treat for people like the nashville taz audience. schmanners is a threat, though now i want a schmanners live show that includes griffin and justin just ripping on trav's bad podcasts or moaning in pain while teresa and trav try to teach people how to use the proper fork. i just want a, "man this seems like it's going as well as bunker buddies, travvie."
