So between this episode where they boosted the fried chicken hashtag and returned to the bit later to talk about how hungry they were for it, and the last one where they literally bought hundreds of Double Downs for the audience, can we assume that the live shows are sponsored by KFC now?

Yes

riddle me piss would be an amazing bit if justin and griffin also brought riddles and the goal was to try to get each other to laugh the hardest, like the original conception of the bit

instead of just going "well it's a travis bit so we have to pretend it sucks and whine the whole time"

munch squad is already overdone but it'd be even worse if all of the responses were "this sucks" "hey justin can we read another loving question" "this is comedy poison"

e: "this yahoo comes from yadrew drewid drew davenport thank you drew. it's by yadrew answers user scampo who asks: if I put a pepper up my butt will i still get reflux?"

"i dunno. maybe" "who cares" "this is the pits"

What you have to realize is Travis is protected by the Middle Brother shield as well as being a performer so negative attention is just as good as positive attention. Dude thrives off of it. He's more than fine.

I'm fine with dunking on Travis but bits where the point is that it's bad and the other two brothers just complain about how bad it is while travis wink-nudge acknowledges that it's bad too are loving terrible. it'd be much better to just have bad bits

It's the same as when they advertised Crimes of Skimbleshanks by making GBS threads on it for an hour.

Wait do people think they’re getting paid whenever they bring up some brand? They (Justin in particular) just seem to be very amused by weird products and pop culture things and like to riff on them, like they do with everything else. I’m not cynical enough to think they only do a Thor Watch when they’re getting paid by Disney.

stitcher is arguably the worst podcast app there is, and i assume the only reason they make any money is people who want to listen to back episodes of earwolf podcasts that're paywalled

Pocketcasts is the only podcast app I've found that will let me listen to podcasts in reverse chronological order in a playlist without having to add them all manually. Great for fiction/serialized podcasts.
