Well, I finally blasted through the last 20 episodes after Zesty and I talked about it in GTA of all places. I don't think I'm going to miss the show. There were a lot of people in my 20s that thought the best punchline ever was to do something while drunk. "I'm gonna record myself getting drunk and then read Twilight. Epic!" So the people on stage being really drunk/high before it even started was increasingly obnoxious to me. You know how drunk people think they are hilarious but sober people want to push them off a chair? That ended up being the show to me. Harmon Quest is still great, I'll continue to support Harmon's projects but there's basically zero chance I'm going to listen to this again.

Dan is not great. But Spencer and Jeff can be absolute gold. Spencer did that "too high to be here" thing on Harmontown sometimes, but I really dug his D&D podcast and it's a shame he stopped doing that. When he's present, his work is wonderful.

I think Dan is charming and I do like him a lot but his attitude towards the listeners became increasingly antagonistic the past year and it became somewhat unpleasent. I do look forwards to Jeff and Spencer's new show and hope it features a lot of Schrab.

Dan was pretty clearly tired of the show several years ago, and that's even with me not having listened except sporadically for the past couple years. It's not really a surprise that he was bringing his C-game to recordings. There were some great moments (the ED-209 riff, the one episode with Paget Brewster) but everything was just so unfocused. It was really, really early in the run but I think continuing to edit the episodes would have made for a much better podcast. Looking back at some of the first couple episodes they run like 70 or 75 minutes. Cut out the worst 45 of every show and you'd have something much stronger.

Jeff grated on me because the veneer of "Self-depricating cool guy" wore away and I just found him kinda bossy and arrogant. Spencer loving rules though. I used to play Overwatch with him a bunch and he deserves a ton of jobs.

Jeff constantly going "oh geez I can't relate to people who like this podcast cause my brain ain't broken" (paraphrasing!) was a little grating. At least Spencer owned Jeff by repeating the "I didn't think it would last seven weeks" line, that was my favorite part of the whole finale.

If the show was more of Dan's professional funny friends poking him apart and antagonizing him into getting in a character, like that the top 5 shoes bit, the show would have been great. Instead Dan seemed to think he was going to be an interviewer or something - a thing he said he was bad at. He should have stopped trying to interview guests so often

So, I was bored this week and watched a bunch of clips from the show. It really was designed to be watched. I find it much more entertaining this way. I wonder if a video archive will ever go up of all the broadcasts?

When did Spencer first show up on Harmontown? I was listening to an episode of The Adventures of Danny and Mike (from Pete and Pete) dated Oct 2013 and they're reading an email from Spencer

It was *really* early.

I remember Jeff getting excited to find someone who knows D&D and then they don’t even try playing until something around 12 episodes in.

I wish Spencer would be able to hang out on Safe Space again. (Dan keeps him too busy.)

Haven’t listened in six months. Do any of the last episodes have dan talk about his new hobby with carpentry? I’d be down to listen to that

Not that I recall. The whole thing kinda ends on a wet fart.

Dan picked up carpentry like thirty seconds after (or before) Harmontown ended, I don't think he said anything about it. I remember him quipping about becoming a woodworking instagrammer but I don't remember if it was on the final ep or in one of his workout videos

I can see his old Minecraft obsession translating into woodworking for sure

Bummer, I’m sure it would have been funny to listen to him deep dive about the it

I mean you don’t have to juice if you have a nutritionist, time, and a personal trainer. And he’s admitted that he’s done that!

If you have a nutritionist and a personal trainer and it's your job to get ripped then you better be on steroids

Everyone who's an action star uses steroids so it's not a big deal if you're smart about it. Which is why you have all those trainers around you.

Kumail can have a little steroids, as a treat.

The first episode of Schrab Home Video aired Sunday night. I don't think there's an RSS feed for the podcast version yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcL6sHh_VxM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyiP1icww4w

I didn't get a chance to listen to it until today, but it's pretty good! They're still obviously getting into a groove, but Harmontown fans should give it a shot. Abed Gheith is the co-host ("Schrabtroller"), and Spencer was a guest. Abed's antagonizing of Schrab reminded me of Schrab's antagonizing of Dan on Harmontown. I do love Schrab, but I'm not really interested in cheesy 80s/90s movies that he adores so much. (Although the "Martial Farts" segment was top notch.) It's not clear how much of the show will be dedicated to that sort of thing. Episode 1 had a couple movie clips, but they ran into copyright flagging issues because of it.

Could you imagine just how unimaginably intolerable Dan would be if he did a 180 and was all clean living and jacked and poo poo? All deep V-neck t shirts and clunky prayer bead bracelets 'bout it.
