I remember a few questions coming up pretty regularly the last few drives re: the bonus content tier, so I just want to put it out there: You get all extant bonus episodes from previous years, and any produced this year. You get bonus content from every show, you don’t need to choose. You get access to the bonus feed even if you sign up outside of the pledge drive dates.

I don't think "I apologize for you misinterpreting my tweet" is much of an apology

Absolutely everyone who is a McElroy fan owes it to themself to donate enough to listen to Four Sherlock Holmeses and a Vampire who is one of the aforementioned Sherlock Holmes, because it is maybe the funniest hour of podcast they’ve ever produced.

If you donate to Maximum Fun do you find out what happens when you poor water in a genie bottle and then drink it? If not, no deal.

I've walked by the Chicken Guy at Mickey's house about a half dozen times and I've never been tempted to go inside. I might need to do it now just to take in all his signature sauces. Also thank God Griffin remembered the Orlando live show. I spent the first half of the bit yelling at them that they've already talked about it.

The pants-making GBS threads over that initial tweet always seemed hilariously overblown to me, and it's amazing that people are still holding a grudge over it. You'd think Jesse was going around executing the poor the way people talk about it.

I mean, I know that the dudes who write/draw Penny Arcade are known for saying dumb poo poo occasionally, but I haven't paid attention to them for about 10 years now. Do they have strong opinions about podcasts or donations or making GBS threads themselves or what?

So not improv people realized improv is hard work and Jesse Thorn still doesn't know how to how a goddamn PR person to handle poo poo exactly like this. Jesse didn't research his guests. I could see not being included in a bit as "being ignored" if you're not going to play along. I can also see Jesse Thorn not realizing that just being magnanimous six years ago would've smoothed this poo poo over. "Thanks to my guests [GUEST NAMES] for joining us to do last week's recording! Due to [LEGALLY OKAY EXCUSE] we decided to release a different episode this week, sorry to the fans of [GUEST], we were looking forward to record with these guys and had a great time. Check it [GUEST] at [WEBSITE] and on social media at [POOP]!" There's the promo, there's the open door to try again... But no, Jesse just nuked the show, then Penny Arcade decided to release a comic with no context and now they got the first PR strike. So Jesse Thorn I guess elected to play defense for the rest of his life against two bad webcomic dipshits. Then decided to release the goddamn thing to "satisfy the fans curiosity". What a loving frustratingly stupid situation Wasabi the J fucked around with this message at 08:49 on Mar 19, 2019 |

Alaois posted:do you really think being magnanimous would have smoothed anything over with the penny arcade guys No but it would've set the tone from which other narratives would be built. If Jesse said that the week it was supposed to drop, only the PA dudes people would've cared. Instead, he IGNORED IT, so they did the thing they always do and shock people into caring about whatever trivial poo poo is going on in their lives.

I can't find it but I remember the PA guys once talked about how Jesse was unprofessional for recording in a home office and when you consider how PA got their start that is one hell of a glass house they're living in. They were extremely pissy about the whole experience, and that was one of several incidents that made me lose respect for them.

Between getting harassed by PA fans still holding a grudge for a podcast over half a decade ago, right-wing newspapers, and terfs, I just can't help but feel bad for Jesse.

All I know of Jesse Thorn is the time he was on the switcheroo episode of mbmbam and I had to turn it off after 10 minutes because it was so unfunny. I’ve still never heard a minute of JJGo and don’t plan to.

You'd think Jesse was going around executing the poor the way people talk about it. i'll fully admit to probably being overly sensitive about it, but i work in an adjacent-y space where a big part of what i do is crowdfunded and if any of my coworkers called a massive section of our audience moochers, joking or not, i'd be pretty horrified. it's not exactly the same, but it was close enough to touch a nerve and his only apology was a reply to a tweet that i never would have seen had someone not linked to it here a year later. firmly on his side in that PA debacle though because holy poo poo. someone (maybe in this thread last year?) framed it as their success allowing them to turn into the bullies from high school they hated so much, and that seems like a pretty apt description
