I can see Travis having a framed picture of himself, but I can also see Travis doing this to troll Justin. AND I can also see Justin making it up to troll Travis. I'm not sure which outcome is funnier.

In the last MBMBaM Travis said he has a picture of himself on top of his tree. I'm not sure if this was a joke.

I think people have been selling spells on ebay for years, as in "Give me your name and location and I'll cast the spell on you remotely."

The common thread is the disclaimer at the end of the listings: "eBay requires that I put this: THIS LISTING IS PURELY FOR ENTERTAINMENT, I AM NOT SELLING ANYTHING REAL, NO GUARANTEES, NO COPYRIGHT INTENDED"

From the little bit I've listened to, Dr. Gameshow is more like Wait Wait Don't Tell Me except with stupid games instead of the news. It seems like it works better with a live audience so it might be kinda dumb now that it's all virtual.

Agreed, Friendly Fire is a great listen. Especially if you were able to watch the movie they review in advance. It’s still good even if you haven’t seen the movie they’re talking about, but obviously it’s better if you have, especially if you’ve seen it recently

E: also Story Break is good. But I think that’s all of them!

Mission to Zyxx is good for people who wish Adventure Zone would abandon the pretense of being a game and just focus on goofing around with the characters.

Most of the MaxFun shows I actually like are in the genre of "people who are friends in real life basically recording their natural banter" like MBMBAM, JJGO, Friendly Fire and Baby Geniuses.

But some of the more put-together shows like Beef and Dairy and Mission to Zyxx are amazing.

Hold that pose.
I've gotta get something.
The thing with Dr Gameshow is that it relies on listeners being funny or clever in their game submissions, which doesn't always work. And sometimes the guests aren't as down to play dumb poo poo as they think they are. Their run from when they first joined MaxFun I think was pretty good, but it really does come down to how much you like a combination of someone with exhausted manic energy, someone who never sounds like he's trying, and basically dice rolls on whether any given game is good. I fell off it a while ago, but stay subscribed because I enjoyed it for a bit and may give it a go again.

: The episodes with Joe Pera from before they were on MaxFun I remember being pretty good, and the episode with Aldan Ford from Mission to Zyxx was also very fun.

Friendly Fire is amazing, but I like to have seen the movies they're talking about, and I haven't seen a lot of War movies. I really like the war-adjacent ones they drop in the bonus feed though

I listened to something like the first four TNG seasons of Greatest Generation despite having seen very few of those episodes and with no intention to see them again.

I don't know that it's "good" per se, there's a lot of nasty Wesley jokes in the early stuff that are basically pedophilia humor. But I've now so thoroughly acclimated myself to Adam and Ben's personalities that Friendly Fire and particularly the Friendly Fire BOCO is a real treat.

Greatest Generation seems like it was started basically on a dare from John Roderick, so having him on the podcast with those lads is great. He's now one of those John Hodgman types where his profession is basically "professional podcast bloviator".

I'm listening through it now because I'm watching TNG straight through for the first time. The pedo jokes almost put me off, but they seem to be cutting back on them by ep 40 or 50.

I really like The Flop House, in fact I started listening to McElroy shows only after the incredibly annoying TAZ ads on The Flop House wore me down over time.

There's a lot of rough jokes in early Greatest Gen that mostly fall by the wayside as the years go on and Ben and Adam become more aware that poo poo like that isn't funny

Mission to Zyxx is amazing, and everyone should give it a shot. It’s definitely my favorite MaxFun podcast (EAT IT MCELROYS), and maybe even my favorite podcast full stop.

Edit: I’m gonna have to give Beef & Dairy Network another try. I listened to a few episodes but never really got into it.
