Iron Crowned posted:It was my understanding that for a while there would be different hosts every week or two until they figured out what to do. Yeah that's right, although they haven't announced any interim hosts beyond Ken which is interesting... I'm sure the Jeopardy people are just loving having Alex's last episodes overshadowed by Bean Dad.

Eh, it's Twitter blowing up on the last Sunday of a long extended holiday where everyone has been (should have been) cooped up inside. Bean Dad deleted his account and it will blow over in a few days when everyone moves on, as long as Ken doesn't say anything else dumb about it. I wouldn't be surprised if they use guest hosts + maybe some more "classic" Alex episodes for the rest of the spring and then roll out the new permanent host in the fall, at which time this will be ancient history. As someone who had actually followed Bean Dad before all this (since he was the co-host of Ken's podcast), it's kind of surreal seeing someone I followed who had probably a 4-digit level of followers suddenly be Everywhere All The Time on Twitter for a day.

I follow Jeopardy news and this thread pretty regularly and until it was posted above I had no clue who or what the gently caress a bean dad was. I doubt the vast majority of viewers know.

banned from Starbucks posted:I follow Jeopardy news and this thread pretty regularly and until it was posted above I had no clue who or what the gently caress a bean dad was. I doubt the vast majority of viewers know. It's funny how much people who spend 24/7 on the internet think their echo chamber matters to anyone outside an extremely small bubble. got some chores tonight posted:While I'm willing to let the whole bean dad story slide as a joke and that he didn't actually spend six hours not feeding his child, he literally has dozens of "joke" tweets were the punchline is just "Jews are bad" or "rape is funny" or "black people are criminals". It's obviously stupid poo poo made by a bigot who deleted his Twitter because it's indefensible, but then Ken just tweets "actually he's a good guy and you guys are over-reacting" which is the obviously wrong thing to do, which is pretty embarrassing given that he just had his "I'm sorry for making bad jokes on Twitter" that is rather obviously not genuine. It's literally all the same "ironic" horseshit people used to post on this very website all the time. They're awful "jokes" but every single one in context is obviously that type of poo poo that a lot of the internet thought was just so funny 8 years ago.

I also missed that they were supposed to share a name and got stuck on Georgia and then started working north to south down the colonies so only figured it out at the last second. Geography ones get me like that a lot, you just start your search in the wrong corner of the map.

Geography ones get me like that a lot, you just start your search in the wrong corner of the map. You had to come to it from a British royalty question and not a geography question. The only king of England who's been executed was Charles I, and his son was Charles II, so it had to be them, and from there you figure out the only two states named for Charles (the latin form of which is Carolus) There were certainly some weird answers by everyone that game.

So technically, per the wording, you could have answered either Carolina and New York and still been correct (one state honoring the king and one honoring his executed father), and i couldn't figure out which ones they wanted. But then everyone guessed Georgia instead.

So even if I didn't know who the Carolinas were named after I would've gone there since it certainly isn't the Dakotas or Virginias.

It airs at 3:30 in Chicago for some reason so womp womp, no eps two days in a row now. Yesterday was preempted because Kenosha declined to press charges on the police.
