What's fascinating about this is that, from what I've heard, Griffin's editing consists almost entirely of cutting out Justin's constant, gross noises. Hopefully it's been getting better for him since he's been living the bean life.

I like the new Flophouse ad and how it always flows from the podcast you're listening to. Also Elliot does not sing in the ad anymore.

Same here. They usually last a minute, so skipping ahead in 30 second chunks lets me catch the ad and ride it out until the segment ends.

I don't think she's been on before, but on the most recent episode of Court Appointed, the guys have Mary Smirl (Sidnee's mom) on as a guest. Tommy and Mary have also started their own podcast (Still Waiting... for Guffman) which is about their experience in community theatre I guess.

Anyway, there are increasingly fewer McElroy Adjacents who have not been on some podcast or another at this point.

I believe she was on a maxfun bonus episode of Still Buffering where she explained the insanely traumatic sounding "pretend your sister is dead" game that she used to stop Sydnee and Teylor fighting.

e: if I remember right, Sydnee started crying immediately and apologised to Teylor, who responded with "Shut up. You're dead." Good story.

Huh. Well, Mary is actually pretty decent as a guest, I'm sure if community theatre is up your alley the new podcast would probably be pretty listenable.

The only strike against her is the incredibly idiosyncratic name-spelling of the Smirl sisters. It continues to vex me to this day.

I suppose if your kids are gonna be Smirls they have nothing left to lose. BTW, I'm a little troubled by all the Clint photos of (I assume) community theater plays that he directed with all three boys in the cast. My guess is that (A) there were a lot of other productions that had only one or two McElroys (B) there aren't that many guys interested in theater in the first place (C) they weren't all leads anyway.

If I have to google the term the basic premise your show is based on after you spend a minute of ad time explaining it, it's not a good ad. They do "explain" it in the ad as "a cool thing" which is not useful information at all and doesn't really tell me what they or their guests will be talking about.

It's fine to have an ad that's not really informative. I like the new SPY ads and the Beef and Dairy ones are funny, but this one was supposed to be a really dry explanation that didn't actually explain anything.

Maybe the problem is that you can't seem to pick up on basic context, and not that the ad isn't dumb enough for you to get.

Edit

I mean, they literally say something to the effect of "heat rock means a good song or album". If you can't figure out that they review music from that then I don't think you can be helped.
