I used a magic amulet to trap Griffin and Justin's souls inside a PS4. Not Travis though. He's too fast.

Almost half of every MBMBaM is just Griffin and Trav bouncing dumb ideas off each other while Justin admits he isn't really paying attention, so you could argue theyre together more often than not.

Yeah, that kinda strikes me as hosed up. If you're soliciting for donations, you could at least pretend you're not also advertiser supported for a couple weeks like you usually do.

E: We need your money to help support the network by the way here's an ad for Squarespace that they spent 10k for on one podcast.

You're right, but now it's "NO PRESSURE", so it's four weeks, it's exactly the same amount of pressure, and they still do ad breaks. Plus they now have a level for when you want to give more money, but not get more rewards!

This year it's a month long but Travis assures us it's supposed to be "super chill", which apparently means hearing multiple pitches during every episode as well as pitches retroactively inserted into the half-dozen episodes of TAZ that I unluckily chose this month to catch up on.

About the only difference between the normal drive and the "super chill" one is that they spend less time detailing the reward levels, and they sound a little more apologetic about it. ("Look, we know this year is tough for everyone, so if you can't support us then you don't have to! Unlike previous years where you had no choice.")

Oh wow did he go back and edit those episodes with maxfundrive stuff or does MaxFun have some kind of dynamic ad insertion now?

I hate dynamic ads so much. I was going back and listening to some old episodes of reply-all to keep my mind off the news and every single episode had some lovely "In these uncertain times..." themed ad.

I think it's dynamic. During the TTAZZ it messed up and the ads were inserted mid sentence.

I listened to the full backlog of a four-season audio drama earlier this year, and every episode started with "now that the story is over, follow our new sequel series at XYZ!" Really messed me up until I realized what was going on.

Yeah. They switched to dynamic ads for TAZ. I think Travis mentioned it on the episode they switched a couple months ago.

Dynamic ads can be good... for instance, I just noticed the Dough Boys went back and took out all of the ads from their older episodes. Not gonna happen with anything on Max Fun, though

What the shit.

Sawbones has dynamic ads too, and I'm currently in the middle of binge-listening that series to get caught up, so I've heard "If it's good enough for DOCTOR James Buffett" and about Justin's christmas lights underpants ten thousand times. They finally just changed them to a Squarespace and Honey ad and It's like a breath of fresh air, until I hear them a thousand more times.

I don't think MBMBAM will ever go to dynamic ads, because Money Zone is essentially a comedy segment in itself.

May 6, 2012

Yeah, it depends. If you're binging a cast, it can be really annoying to hear Travis talk in his early-Graduation baby voice, but on the other hand, it can let them replace old ads with outdated codes.

Can we all agree that the ads for Manscaping can all go straight to hell? I'm beyond tired of hearing EPIC RANTS about shaving balls lately.

If they ever even tried to remove the old Extreme Restraints ads....there would be a fuckin riot.


Also the concept of dynamic ads is garbage poo poo. Buy an ad, it lives for as long as that podcast's episode does. Makes sense to me.

I'm assuming Hey Riddle Riddle has dynamic too, then. I binged about a hundred episodes in a row and was wondering how they got away with having the exact same ad in every single episode.

Y'all sure like to rant against people trying to get paid. Dynamic ads are fine, why do you wanna download an old episode and hear about some five-year old mattress subscription service? I wanna hear about today's mattress subscription service!

The ads on MaxFun are incredibly tame compared to the insipid poo poo I hear on NYT/Slate/Vox podcasts. I'm sick of hearing about how 5G will unleash the Innovation Age or whatever horseshit Michael Dell is trying to sell me on some sponsored podcast.

Though with dynamic ad insertion it's possible I'm the only person hearing all these odes to the 1% so who knows.

yea ads suck rear end but A) at least current ads are less stupid than 'remember this lootcrate ripoff that died in six months? Use promo code fuckballs to get a free deadpool oven mitt when you subscribe' and B) boy are 'real' ads way loving worse. I'll take this dumb poo poo over being told why I need to listen to some NYT freak's podcast about how 5G will literally make everything better for all of us (sponsored by AT&T).

Yeah and at least podcast apps still let you fast forward with impunity, unlike internet video ads that freeze your volume slider and lock your content behind the ad. As far as ads go, podcast ads are easily the least offensive overall.

fake edit: Maybe Google Ads are actually the least offensive since you can scroll right by them. Or maybe billboards because you can just look away? This is getting convoluted. END POST
