Does anyone have a link to a news story or anything about the older guy loving the 29-year-old posing as a 12-year-old while his buddy from jail stays in the attic? I just revisited it on episode 48 (I know they mention it again later on, can't remember when) and it's the most insane story I've heard on the show.

I could have sworn they went back and revisited it later on. I remember them were poking fun at the fact that his name was close to Matthew Broderick. Maybe I'm mixing up stories.

Did Seth ever explain why he used to pretend he was mute while eating lunch at his favorite restaurant ? That was one of my all time favorite stories from their very early years.

Somewhere around episode 80 Seth goes on a rant about Blockbuster and how he was fed up with the cashiers incompetence that he was going to resort to the "that pen and paper only thing"

I called the VM about this one maybe a ago and got a 5 minute slow paced rant from Seth (left on my VM) explaining his reasoning for thinking it would suck and that he's allowed to get 1 thing wrong then something about getting off his back. It was pretty funny.

edit: On Seth's Clips #23 @ 13:14 what am I supposed to be looking at?

My brother still has the one he got from Seth after drunk dialing his home number. Seth called him a Herdda Hadda.

Jah's jaunt probably caused an awful lot of people to wonder why they aren't taking their own trip to Europe who then took a good long look at their monthly CC statement and the realization hit them. It was never a good thing to announce they were quitting their jobs, it was an even worse thing for one half of the team to punch out and loudly take a sabbatical. It was incredibly dumb to do it in the middle of another merch gently caress up.

The boys really should have got a business manager shortly after the HBO episodes were filmed and they were in the single digit chart-places of itunes popularity. Like that guy who turned Penny-Arcade into a multi million dollar thing but managed to keep the creative duo focused on just putting out their three comic strips a week.

I kind of feel like anything work related is anathema to Jonathan and any real attempt to monetize the show or get the guys some money coming in would result in him dipping out pretty quickly. As long as it's something he just does it's fine, but once it becomes an obligation he's gonna resent it.

Actually guys, Patreon are posting their numbers differently now. The total you used to see was pre-patreon fees, and pre-CC fees... that's a post-fee number. Everyone's patreon money 'dipped' this month. Not just the boys! So don't worry about that...




Jonathan just going to Europe and extending his vacation though...ouch...

Wonder how Seth feels about Jonathan's extended vacation. And how does Seth spend his time now that he doesn't have the weed store job? More tv? Auditioning for tv/film roles after he got another taste of it thanks to Maron?

I never set out to be weird. It was always other people who called me weird.
To be clear, I totally think it was lovely of Jonathan to take a European vacation so soon after the Patreon. BUT, I didn't think he was "extending his vacation" so much as "not using an airport so soon after a terrorist attack." Am I wrong?

The skypecast was recorded almost two weeks ago on November 6th, were there attacks previous to Paris? I'm stupid so I don't know

He had mentioned staying longer..which was before the Paris thing? That might be his reasoning stay even longer though? I could be totally wrong, who actually knows.

I'm torn on the whole thing. On one hand, yeah this is exactly what you would expect from our ragtag duo of pioneering podcasters. On the other, the boys seemed poised to take their game to the next level and focus on making their podcasting hobby a profession. From their appeal, they sounded hungry for success.

Then success hit and it seems to have floundered. I get the impression that Seth is dedicated to fulfilling promises and producing quality content, but that he is so opposed to joining the 21st century that he doesn't have the capacity to make any of that happen. He's relying on an unreliable hippie (with lovable baby blues) to do that for him.

My take is, if we see some great podcasting and/or other benefits over the next couple of months, then I'll keep pledging. If not, I'll probably stop paying something for nothing.
