yea DraftKings hosed off after NY and a couple other places said 'uh, this is just gambling' and their excuse of "NO YOU NEED SKILL TO WIN (ignore that 90% of our players lose and our biggest winners used auto-sorting programs to build their lineups)" failed.

Didn't John Oliver do a whole Last Week Tonight about Draft Kings? I first heard about it when like an entire season of The League TV show seemed to be about it.

Also I just listened to the latest MBMBaM, and I agree with whoever said it was the funniest one in a long time.

A lot of that was due to the Nastyman but Justin's extremely long and meandering egg analogy to disprove Travis' point that ended up proving it anyway had me in tears from sheer anti-comedy

Thanks a lot Griffin, people saying "John Hopkin's" was the only remaining shibboleth to tell if someone was not native to Baltimore.

Griffin is going to be very excited of the new Nintendo cardboard that releases on 4/20 for $69. No way that doesn't get discussed next episode

I like to imagine sober, clear-headed Griffin is constantly battling the urge to make Borat references. Slightly more seriously though, I do worry a bit for the G-man's long-term health. It sounds like he's always been a sickly kid but drat, when he goes down he really goes down for the count.

There's a pretty good chance that he's sick but kinda hamming it up. On Awful Squad he mentioned that people complain when he's being aggressive and demanding so he's trying to chill out.

I really like the new TAZ arc so far. I didn't listen to the hero arc based on the reactions here, so I'm happy this seems to be going better.

It had a few issues but I'd love to hear Clint DM again. Also just to digress back to ad talk again; my favorite ads are always going to be Movement Watches or whatever because a few podcasts I listen to do ads for them and some of them like to bring up the price of the watches as a talking point. So early on they were like sixty bucks, but now in a recent episode they're advertised as being over a hundred. I just got a good laugh at that price creep.

He also mentioned that he had also just taken a couple different cold medicines, so that probably really influenced his decisions as Nastyman. These are just the things we never really hear because he knows to hold it back for the sake of the show. Nuebot posted:The dadmaps were the best. I really liked Commitment. It had a few issues but I'd love to hear Clint DM again. I also really like Commitment basically because of Clint. The concept was a little overwrought, but again, you need to remember that Clint is a first time GM, so he needs some room to grow a bit. Also, Movement Watches never mention their price in their ads, like every podcast ad, so "less than a watch store" could literally any price.

The end of the most recent MBMBaM had an ad for Friendly Fire which is a collab between The Greatest Generation guys and John Roderick of Roderick On The Line (and other great shows). First real ep is talking about Saving Private Ryan. It's pretty decent if you like war movies.

I like Russ, the only times I genuinely get sick of his poo poo is when the rest of the team is describing some amazing chaotic firefight and Russ is just like, trying on pants in a room by himself on the other side of town. They should just let griffin film
