I feel like most of the sports episodes aren’t great after the creator — you just don’t have enough freedom to get wild like you would in an RPG or something

The exception to this is Daz, who they just yelled at until they got good at golf.

I came away from that video knowing less about cricket than I did before, which is impressive because I didn't know a drat thing about the sport going into it.

it's just baseball but instead of running around four bases you run back and forth between two

I'm guessing this will be the format for all of them, now. They seem to be playing a game for like four or five hours once every two months, and then giving it to Clayton to stretch into two videos. Which I get, they're probably not getting much from Vox to do these new videos. Sometimes I feel like I can hear Griffin actively watching the clock during the gameplay portion, though.

It's probably also a way to give a bit more longevity to the series as they run out of games to use.

To me it seems more like an extremely elaborate lawn game. I mean nobody's hitting home runs in cricket, are they?

The podcast is at its absolute best when one of the brothers is doing something dumb and annoying that the other two hate, IMO.

Generally speaking, I agree. But then, Sad Libs.

Sad Libs is enjoyable, but only because it doesn't happen super often. When it does, it is Travis clearly showing his disappointment with his cohosts for not properly prepping the show in advance. That on air punishment, that you the listener get to share in, is nifty to me. If it happened more often? Christ, I'd skip the opening of the show. But as a rare thing that occasionally pops up, it's great.


Whenever Griffin gets mad about something it's typically great stuff for me.

I will say that Jim Johnman didn't need an episode 2, but Daz was one of the most implicitly-fleshed-out and hilarious characters they've made, and Stang was a brilliant disaster at basketball.

God, I loved Daz. Just this utterly vain sun-roasted SoCal dipshit who desperately believes he hasn't peaked yet and is fighting fruitlessly against the rigors of aging.

There is a surprise return cameo that is pretty good.

Retconing the entire finale of balance to be a suffering game nightmare would have been a hell of a way to bring the boys back to the main story of TAZ.

Sounds like we're not talking about someone who's embedded deep in the fabric of MaxFun. Re-record the three words he says, keep the other voices, and you've got a clean new sign-off. World's easiest cancellation. Glad the victims felt they could come forward.
