Four pages of elaborate backstory is Travis as gently caress

Justin being antsy about Taako being gay when he gave him such a silly voice is funny because every other MaxFun show that gets promoted on theirs features someone with an ultra cringeworthy stereotypical gay voice as one of the hosts.

Every other show meaning every second show, not every single other show?

Ultima! Ahmmm-bing!
Now, folks, there is a difference between having accents or inflections in your natural speaking voice, and doing a similar voice for laughs on a comedy podcast. For instance, if someone was born in a non-english speaking country and had a accent, they are cool. Someone mimicking someone from a non-english speaking country with a racist accent for laughs is not cool.

Justin was worried that his voice for Taako fell into the second category. Pretty simple.

Hold that pose.
I've gotta get something.
It's neat to me that Justin has to make an effort to do Taako's voice, while people like Guy Branum and Elliott Kalan just speak that way naturally.

e: Not necessarily insinuating that Kalan is gay, just that his normal speaking voice sounds like a cartoon character's.

Elliot Kalan's voice is so annoying to me that I can't even listen to their promos. I admire people who can sit through entire episodes of the Flophouse.

Now, take Elliot Kalan's voice, and have it so it's constantly off-key singing half-remembered riffs of the most annoying earwormy songs in the world with the express purpose of annoying the everliving hell out of everyone listening to it.

That's the Flophouse.

I rather enjoy the flophouse and probably wouldn't have started on it if not for their guest adventure zone. Also Elliot's voice is way less irritating on the show than in the ad.

also the second he starts talking about comic books, hollywood history or starts giving a movie recommendation, every single time i'm astonished with how much knowledge he just has and can rattle off at a moments notice

I listen to the flop house and it's good but when Elliot sings I want to beat him up in real life. Triggered AF.

Also I know we talk about this all the time but that Pop Rocket ad is the most effective anti ad I've ever seen. I wish there was a way that I could preemptively unsubscribe so hard that they actually lose two listeners

Also what the gently caress is the deal with that Beefcast? Too much loving TWEE

I thought the same thing but it's actually loving great. It's basically Look Around You the podcast.

Also Getting Curious' ad is the loving worst bar none.

You wanna talk McElroy voices, I stopped listening to Sawbones because Sydnee's way of speaking is so incredibly monotone I'd start drifting off at work no matter how crazy the subject.
It's a perfect doctor voice.
