rollick posted:Did something happen over the last few months to bring Travis McElroy to the attention of people who don't listen to podcasts? Is it just the Twitch thing that's drawing all the weirdness? I think the twitch thing just happened in very close proximity to his "I'm not bisexual, but" tweets, and a lot of the existing Travis haters amplified it.

Shinjobi posted:Justin does zone out a lot though; that ain't just a TAZ thing I wish I could remember what bit it was, but there's at least one where Justin checks out so hard that he basically forgets the basic premise of the question and Travis and Griffin punish him for the next few minutes.

I was skeptical of Karen when she first showed up in the Polygon videos because her energy didn't initially match what the others had. But then she recognized Pat's clue of "the lady who jerked off a dolphin" in the fake artist game on Overboard, and I knew everything would be okay

Oh gently caress, I went back and watched the dolphin part, and I had it backwards. Karen drew it and Pat recognized it. This goes to show that Karen actually rules and I don't give her enough credit.

Griffin created her, and decided on Lup being her whole name instead of it being a nickname for Chalupa after fans told him about the hispanic headcanon stuff. I think her being a trans woman was Justin's idea, though.

IronicDongz posted:wasn't the main reason people started getting mad at travis for performative wokeness recently the embarrassing among us monologue where he started talking about how the other players shouldn't be playing like bad people(goofing around in game) with all that's wrong in the world these days The recent dustup is this and the "I bet you're surprised I'm not bi" tweets, but people have had a problem with Travis for a while. He's targeted for the boys' general inclusiveness because he's more publicly doing stuff outside of their McElroy brand, and a good deal of it is inclusive by design. So him supporting those things separate from his brothers makes him performative, I guess.

DoctorWhat posted:I hate D&D as a product and WotC as a company, and Graduation just marinates in 5E in a truly miserable way. So I have a lot of affection for Amnesty, even with its very real flaws. One of the best things about Dragon Friends is that, even though it's built on a 5e framework and WotC occasionally provides materials for them, nobody but Dave gives a poo poo about the system. Even though they're still orbiting the Strahd storylines, they also just don't follow the story except by accident, and rename characters things like Rimjob.

I think a decent number of comedy people still shoot for SNL since it's one of the more public ways to make money being funny and unknown. e: Erin from Hey Riddle Riddle auditioned for SNL a few years ago and is only 2 years older than BDG.

John Wick of Dogs posted:Maxfun actually did have a CBD ad on another podcast a couple weeks ago. I trust the host and actually ordered some, and it really has helped! If it's the same company that advertises on HRR, then the ad copy is usually pretty careful about not making medical claims. They just say that it's helpful in calming you down and maybe even helping you sleep. The problem with the mall storefront was that it was making medicinal claims right on the window, including, IIRC, cancer treatment.

He could've run something with friends before that, even just to test his working to see if his Hero/Villain thing could work the way he expected. I do feel bad for sure. He got so much advice going in from people and just kinda swung too hard when he got up to bat. I hope this doesn't dissuade him from trying again in the future.

I bet the boys could probably afford to have a guest or 2 on for every arc if they're really concerned about diversity and representation. They all have connections enough at this point that they could probably find someone pretty easily each rotation.

Pollyanna posted:I’ve never given a poo poo about anything MaxFun outside of McElroys because it just all sounds very meh. It's no better or worse than any other network, I think. They just specialize in conversation podcasts that have some loose premise draped over them. e: I think one of the reasons I like SPY so much is because they don't even pretend to have a premise. It's just 2 guys talking to a 3rd person, and that's really it.

Pham Nuwen posted:Speaking of podcast networks, Season 3 of TWIOAT was pretty drat funny in that episodes would regularly have a standard edited-in-by-the-hosts ad ala moneyzone, but also a network-injected ad for Hello Fresh, and also a different auto-injected ad at the start and end. By funny I mean tiresome, except for one time when an auto-injected ad started immediately after one of them said something like "Ok, here's my American accent impression," When bigsofttitty.png first went to the Sanspants network, whichever one was editing would purposefully put a network ad break in the middle of the other one's sentences. The ads were also set regionally, so some people would get ads for Subway ava KFC, and others would get recruitment ads for the Australian armed forces and casinos.

If anybody's not a donor and needs convincing, I've been laughing for a while now just at the premise of this year's TAZ bonus episode. Regardless of who your favorite brother is, the consistently best McElroy is Charlie. https://twitter.com/TheZoneCast/status/1389604982962405376

They've also been doing monthly pins, so there's probably only so many bits they can draw from that aren't already pins by the time they have to submit the MaxFun one. This might be the first year since they started pins that I probably won't buy one.

I'm laughing less at Travis and more at MaxFun for struggling to meet half their drive goal with, like, 3 days to go. I like the network a lot, but 28k new/upgrading members without being fully out of the pandemic or the associated recession is a wild goal, I think.

They're ending the story, but they still want to work together, and their announcement at the beginning of the season didn't seem mention anything about not working with MaxFun. They have enough stuff planned for the season to get to next year, so they'll probably also use that time to think of what's next.

I think Travis has, in previous years, gotten tattoos for timed donor challenges for the drive, so it's nothing new even for him. It's also not uncommon for donor-supported terrestrial radio to have timed donor stuff linked to things their DJs will do. Anyway, here's a donation plea from PFT from this week's SPY https://twitter.com/JesseThorn/status/1392511755457220609
