I honestly don't get why Seeso wasn't an add-on to something like Hulu in the first place, especially when you consider NBC owns a part of Hulu

What do you mean by add-on though? Like when you click "channels" on Hulu there would be one that says Seeso?

Also Hulu is also co-owned by Disney and FOX so NBC doesn't want to share revenue in yet another venture. Also, a big thing about Seeso is that there's no ads where even Hulu gives you ads on certain shows if you bought their relatively new "ad-free" subscription.

I haven't signed up for the showtime addon but I imagine it just adds new content to their list of shows. Much like when they add new shows normally.

I haven't found Hulu to have any ads on their ad free version, they also advertised it as totally ad free. Is this not the case? The big problem I have is that they don't have every season of certain shows.

One Road. Two Friends. One Ass.
There's ads on something like five shows at the beginning of the episodes.

He's a wisecracker!
There's a few shows that are contractually obligated to have commercials, I think.

And Seeso is separate from Hulu because even though NBC has a stake in it, the new trend is for every company with a media backlog to create their own streaming service. I don't know if their plan is to actually compete with Netflix or just dilute the market until it's irrelevant, and I don't think they know or care either.

Episode also features a player mooching seventeen dollars from Colin Hanks to pay off the refs, which sounds like a non sequitur but isn't.

Gethard has been referencing this week's Beautiful Anon for a while as the one where someone finally hangs up and it's described in the episode summary as being "pretty rattling", but in fact the dude was just at work and had to go (Chris thinks he's lying but he seems totally sanguine and sincere). I was anticipating more drama with Gethard actually crossing a line or something. I like the podcast a lot, but Gethard's guilty monologue at the end about how he hopes he didn't cause this guy to relapse was kind of crazy and the first time he completely lost me.

i also imagine that, being a guy with a drug addiction problem in a past, he was legitimately worried about doing anything that could possibly push someone into destructive behavior. i have no problem seeing why he was rattled and you people are weirdos.

Yeah, that was awful. I skipped through 90% of the segment. It felt like him being tired of most of his fans being pro-Bernie so he set this up to try and shut them up.

A lineup of usually great guests on the episode, too. Wish they'd had more time to do scenes.

It wasn't that guy, it was Besser staging A Fair And Balanced Debate between a Clinton supporter and a Bernie supporter in reaction to that guy's allegations. Because he's a giant baby.

Also I like "you send your agents out, to record them, to make fools of themselves", like his idiot interns could ever pull a mission like that off on purpose.
