Hahah yeah, you can bet that dude was looking for any excuse to get up on stage.

Also I'm surprised no one mentioned how we were blessed with seeing Spencer's Anti-Coyote spin kick again, though the effect was diminished without the music.

Spencer was wearing weird pants. They were like bell bottoms but the back seam was split up to the knee.


Also, he is very tall.

Soo apparently there was another podcast / movie Q&A today at the Vista theater in LA, and the audio's already up? Guest comptroller Kumail!

Just now starting it, looks slightly shorter than average but still a full show at 1 hr 45 mins.

Ok, that makes more sense, since they only left Toronto today.

So, show of hands, who's planning to subscribe to HT? It's my favorite podcast, so I think I'll be handing over $45 for a yearlong membership come Jan. 1st.

I dunno, Harmontown's quality is way too volatile in my opinion. Am I paying for the funniest podcast around, or am I paying for 2+ hours of Dan trying to grasp simple sociological concepts. I dunno.

edit: Eh I guess five bucks for a whole month is an acceptable risk.

Woo after the Saturday show someone was apparently mad that Dan got a bit confused on his gender pronouns and also that he asked for additional "Estrogen" on the stage for DnD.

He spent 40 minutes talking to a trans person. If he made one mistake about a pronoun who cares. They spent the first 15 minutes discussing gender pronouns and how you should approach asking people about them.


I think these people are their own worst enemy. Sometimes you just need to relax if someone who doesn't spend their life thinking about this stuff makes a small error.

That sounds like the opposite of what that tweet was saying. I can't imagine dan not going "oh my bad, im a large child so sorry I got that wrong, I'll get it right going forward, what should I refer to you as again?"

Twitter screencaps are a good way to "soundbyte" someone with the wrong context

I think it was Janne (moonshine lady), which if so that's even more fuckin' hilarious because the first time he met her (when she hadn't transitioned or wasn't obviously feminine or something, I'm not clear on the details) he called her "him" and Janne didn't correct him, but then twitter dm'd him before the next podcast and he spent a whole like, thing in the very next podcast pointing out how he hosed up by referring to her as the wrong pronoun- despite there being no possible loving way on this planet that there's any way he could've known that

I think she didn't even refer to herself as Janne to him so yeah

No Jane doesn't care, she likes Dan and figures he's on the side of freedom and whatnot but still clearly has his own issues. It was someone in the audience according to reddit who was annoyed that Dan slipped up on his pronouns. I think the bigger thing is here, he asked her what pronouns to use but that was after he was already drunk on Vodka and then started drinking moonshine.

All in all I just figured it'd be worth a laugh here, "look tumblr's mad at Dan again".

I didn't mean that twitter Mad Person was Jane, I meant that the person he was talking to onstage probably was Jane and if so lol because he literally already went through that and worked through the sort of self-crucifixion that most people who try to be sensitive liberals do even before SJW there decided to totally own him by concern trollin

The person on stage was Jane, and Dan drank half the bottle of moonshine while talking to her.

This is hardly 'drama' honestly, two people said 'hey that was kinda lovely' and he responded with 'woah you're kinda being a baby' which is honestly a kinda shitbag response to something that can be ended with a simple 'yea my bad sorry' but considering Dan's history of being the biggest of podcast baby men I don't think anyone's shocked by this.

It can be, and that's why most people, when faced with a normal pronoun and not some bullshit xir poo poo from tumblr, say poo poo like 'woops my bad,' when someone mentions it, instead of 'woah man you're kinda being a whiner'. Like, what would Dan lose by saying even a really weak apology like 'sorry if that bugged you I'll work on that'.

It's okay, Dan has a retarded sister!!

As someone who was there, Dan was hammered on Saturday then started drinking moonshine and accidentally called Janne "him" a few times while rambling about how important it is to let people be called whatever pronoun they want. It was clearly not done with any bad intent, he was just drunk and made a mistake, ironically while rambling and ranting about the very thing he was making mistakes about. It's probably even easier to make that mistake because Dan first met Janne as "Glen".

All that said it'd probably just be easier to say sorry but that's not the kind of person he is so whatever

Except this isn't the person who was on stage being hurt or offended (we will have to listen to find that out) it is people who are getting offended on her behalf for pronoun misuse and estrogen comments.

It's one thing to tweet at somebody to point out, "Hey I think you might have hosed up some pronouns / been wrong about the age of the universe on your podcast," but it's a whole other thing to passive-aggressively call for an apology from that figure on behalf of a stranger who is not you right off the bat.

We can hop on this or that message board to do all our bitching about a free (for now) show, even though we are owed literally nothing (again, for now) but to call the guy at home and give him notes would be obviously crossing a line. I guess we'll see in the future if $5 a month is a suitable price for a license to complain.

Is this true? I've heard him talk about his brother, but I don't think I've heard anything about sister besides that.

The Q&A was OK, I kinda liked Dan's rant about religion because it was less "angry drunk manchild" and more "guy trying to understand stuff beyond his comprehension...while drunk/angry".
