I would say that it typically means unsolicited flirty messages from a total stranger, which usually means someone saw your profile pic and then sent a private message along the lines of “Hey good lookin”. Generally not offensive, but unwanted and unnecessary (and creepy).

No idea where this particular gentleman falls in the spectrum of Creepy -> Sex crime, but best case scenario is *see above*.

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.

Maybe they could take this opportunity to create an all-new sign-off. Then again, I skip it every time at this point so I don’t suppose my opinion is all that meaningful.

Max fun drive bonus content is already up for monthly donation people. MSLMSLAM, TV episode 3 commentary coming out for MBMBAM, and I've yet to listen to the TAZ content. Either way, it's up for those who it's available to

Rachel Rosing has a notorious habit of extreme morality policing social media regarding anything remotely McElroy-related, but if 30 women came forward about him he still probably sucks.

It's apparently been an issue across multiple Max Fun social media channels. Women in the Flop House Facebook group were saying he'd been DMing them and their friends who weren't even in the group.

I'm not sure if that's really McElroy related, since this is a person they have no relationship with and probably have never met who recorded three words on a station identification call signal they didn't produce.

Fact #1 The Moon is really cool
This live ep had some good bits but also I didn't super like it. I think it's just because I still hate the suffering game arc. I also kind of hated the Team Rocket style line because Jessie and James they are not which is honestly one of the big things I didn't like with that arc.

she takes it in a broader sense of general talking about how it's refreshing for a popular media thing to be so built around actually really positive outlooks on things while still (in the case of TAZ) wanting to tell a greater story. She never really says it's some revolutionary hot take it's just her saying it's cool and good and the goof boys are good.

No one's worried over it. It was just a recently revealed thing that got brought up. The only scandal would be is if Jesse ignores people bringing it up as a concern, and keeps the guy in the bumpers/in the MaxFun orbit. Which is a possibility, as a lot of media people have done very similar things.

But zero posts in here showed anyone upset over it.

The new live show is solid. It's not amazing, but it stays on track and delivers some goofs. There are no audience interruptions. Griffin never gets mad at them for taking too long to move through his scenarios.

I give it a B+.
