If people think they'd be interested/ if I remember I might have a crack at putting together a maxfun thread over the weekend.

No harm done if it dies after all.

I think a general MaxFun thread would be a really good idea. It can kinda be like how there are separate threads for the Earwolf and just Comedy Bang Bang.

If you skip money zone you're a huge chump because the Worcestershire bit came out of a nature box ad

You also would have missed the "shaving grandson balls" song and the Coldplay poetry, so yeah, don't skip money zone spots.

I guess I just don't really understand why such a straight-laced industry-specific news podcast is on a network which is primarily focused on comedy and pop culture.

Jesse's face must have been dripping with mint sauce when he signed that contract.

The flop house is good but I stop listening after they finish talking about the movie so I have a few dozen podcasts that are half finished. Dodging the letters section typically dodges most of Elliot's songs and a lot of boring seriousness which makes it a much lighter, more fun show.

Googling around a bit, they're not, unless you think that medieval depictions of Jewish people are still offensive to modern day sensibilities because they were green apparently?

Going by that logic, orcs are also anti-semitic. There's a lot of racist poo poo coded into orcs sometimes, but I've never seen an argument made on that particular front.

The orc is supposed to look like Common. Barry is Tom Arnold.

All the podcast ads are awful, even good shows like Sawbones or Taz sounds very bad and slash or obnoxious if you only listen to the ads. John Hodgecourt is the only one that actually sounds like something I would want to listen to. Throwing Shade is by far the worst and sometimes kills the good energy that an Extreme Restraints moneyzone adds to MBMBAM.

The early ads for The Goosedown were so stereotypically ghetto I never wanted to check it out. I always liked the Song Exploder ads before they left Max Fun. There was something really soothing about them, especially the isolated Wurlitzer.

The difference with Song Exploder is that it has a very clear and easily describable hook. Deconstruct songs into component layers, discuss how each of those layers matter with the artists, interview people related to the song in some way, play song.

I still, to this day, am not sure what The Goose Down is about. So many shows on MaxFun are people talking about thing that may or may not be centered on a thing that it's almost impressive. They're basically, as a network, entirely indescribable.

Honestly I feel that way about most podcasts. I still have no idea what the difference between Interrobang and Trends Like These is aside from the different hosts. I think TLT is Travis and a friend getting angry at current events and Interrobang is Travis and a friend getting angry about various topics that may or may not be current events.

The fact that something is not high concept is not an indicator of a lack of quality, any more than something being high concept is any indication as to whether it's good.

Yeah, I'm mostly alright with the TAZ fandom, but I kind of understand why people are weirded out by fandoms now. It's mainly kids and people unfamiliar with playing tabletop games. I got no problem with kids being kids, tho. Maybe it's just jarring to me because I was into the McElroys before the sudden fandom boom and because I'm starting to not be the youngest person in any given number of people online.
