ugh, do I have to stop listening to Friendly Fire? I haven’t listened to Greatest Gen in two years and don’t want to go back to it. I can’t just turn my back on Ben+Adam. Plus what if they address the Bean Dad controversy in this week’s ep?

The newest episode of Adventuring Academy features Griffin as the guest this week. Adventuring Academy is a DnD video podcast hosted by Brennan Lee Mulligan (DM of The Dadlands one shot) where he interviews DMs about DMing. In addition to the Dadlands thing, Brennan also ran a short campaign of DnD called Tiny Heist for the McElroys around this time last year (also a Dropout exclusive though I believe the first episode is on YouTube), and Griffin has also guested in a live episode of Brennan's DnD show, Dimension 20. So this was a long time coming really! Adventuring Academy is a Dropout exclusive I believe. Dropout is the streaming service run by the now-defunct College Humor, but Dropout still produces high quality content on a regular basis such as this. There's also a chance this may end up on YouTube eventually but I have no idea how long the delay from Dropout exclusive to YouTube release is. I haven't listened yet but I'm sure it's good!

Drawfee's been independent for about a year now. I'm not sure if their old content is still on Dropout though.

There was a really awkward moment like ten minutes into it where Travis complains that dice rolls get in the way of story, and the guests trying to hold themselves back from saying "loving what?" was kind of rough to listen to.

That's always blown my mind because in the other better dnd podcasts the dice rolling insanely well or insanely poorly create some of the most memorable moments in the whole series Even their whole big arms moment was only interesting because it could've failed due to dice rolls. Would've been no tension otherwise

I've had to completely sidetrack planned stories as a DM before due to good/bad dice rolls, but I love when that happens. It gives me a chance to improv and then I get to repurpose my plans for later so I don't have to do another big prep session. I know both Griffin and Travis have been accused of railroading, but if you don't leave any wiggle room, what's even the point of the interactive aspect? Just write a book if you only want the story.

TAZ was always the lightest of Actual Plays, but at least during the shows highs, they could at least prompt one another for jokes or interactions. What started to get bad in Amnesty and really bad in Graduation is that they got really into creating planned plot points and not really prompting each other. The dice thing is just another tool that can throw a loop into the plans of the players and the DM. It beats the hell out of these monologued dream sequences that have been a go-to since the end of Balance.

Mention of mbmbam on Chapo Trap House via bean dad drama. With their limited, very online knowledge, they basically describe it as “the podcast with 3 brothers, two of whom are normal and one who looks like Gritty and is a middle aged man who describes himself as cute on twitter”. Travis’s legend lives on.

Travis is my least favorite brother but I admire just how hard he throws himself into middle-brother energy. Like there's a Travis-shaped hole in the wall.

That’s got to be the only context in which the word gritty has been accurately used to describe Travis.

It’s extremely funny that articles and headlines peddling his apology are still referring to him as Bean Dad.

By far the funniest bits of the bean dad story were B.D.'s asides in his bean thread where he's like "heh... my nine year old daughter isn't the sharpest tool in the shed if you catch my drift... not half as smart as me."

imagine spending over a decade building your brand online, painstakingly leveraging professional and personal relationships to integrate yourself in several podcasting and internet media communities, slowly increasing your take-home pay from small donations and memberships until you can essentially quit your former career making music and become a full-time internet entertainer. It’s a modest income, but it’s all you—your blood, your sweat, and your tears and then imagine that in one star-crossed evening you catapult your recognition into the stratosphere, an audience one hundred thousand times larger than your previous base becomes aware of your existence in the blink of an eye a podcaster’s deepest wish come true— but, alas, they know you not for your years of podcasting or music, your omnibus of work...not even Omnibus— “bean dad!” they call you “bean dad!” they cry from atop the houses “somebody call CPS!” shouts one bystander “it’s abuse!” cries another “look, it’s a bunch of horrible horrible race jokes!” yells a man, pointing to a sack of red meat that appears ~8 years old. “Come see! Come see the Bean Dad’s secret crimes!” “bean dad is a nazi!” jeers a woman you take your head in your hands the monkey’s paw has curled a finger, you got your wish of great online fame....but at what cost? whatever happens to you now—you know not some high-profile friends have already turned on you, others with more at stake gamely try to defend your honor from the onslaught John Roderick has been eclipsed and buried by his new, true form there is only bean dad now

Tbh I'm glad he didn't double down on the slurs even if his given explanation for those posts is extremely dumb. I'll probably continue to listen to friendly fire with the new knowledge that one of the hosts is an enormous idiot but probably not a chud. The last episode I listened to before the bean hit the dad they joked about people online calling John a 'liberal cuck' all the time and after 'I can reclaim these slurs myself!' I can see why lol. It was about time for a new theme song anyway, impecable timing to meltdown on twitter just before the first episode of the year came out.
