It genuinely felt kinda strange that after a decade+ of listening to MaxFun shows I didn’t have any that I was currently following.

Friendly Fire was my last holdout maybe find a thread where you can discuss your interests, which do not include the topic of this thread at all, instead of posting poo poo like Ok Comboomer posted:do you think the brothers fight over who gets to play a woman every time there’s a new Adventure Zone season? or your multiple long screeds about liberals 'cancelling' people that unironically sound like chud poo poo

Notice that I’ve been participating in the thread and talking with other posters and having discourse about the thread topic while you’ve been doing literally fuckall besides going after me and accusing me of ‘making GBS threads up the thread’. If you don’t like the topic of conversation then maybe that’s on you. Currently there seem to be more people here who want to talk to me than to you, so why don’t you go someplace else?

Can we just talk for a second about how insanely uptight the family in that Yahoo is though? Like you can disallow certain words in Scrabble, it's not that hard. So it's wild that grandma thinks she HAS to play 'dirty' words if it's anywhere within her letter arrangement, like there's absolutely nothing else you can do with those letters to the point where the whole family can't play the game because that circumstance might potentially come up. That's not just conservative/religious, that's some "we live on a compound" poo poo right there.

There are still people on this forum performatively competing to be the most annoyed at 'woke' culture? Could have sworn people would have grown out of that like five years ago.

I hear Sad Libs come up a lot when discussing awful Travis bits, but I've never heard them. Is it a live show thing? I've listened to most of the podcast other than live shows and I don't recall Sad Libs ever coming up.

It's a really old bit that Travis did around the time MBMBaM joined Max Fun. He kept it up for live shows for a while, but he dropped it years ago.

Part of the problem with Munch Squad over the last year is that it turned into Justin's Covid Anxiety Corner, where he yells at people for bringing up the pandemic and then spends 15 minutes talking about the pandemic.

It's yelling at brands for being like "In a year that has been so unprecedented, we're proud to introduce the new line of Bacon Jalapeño Popper Chicken Slammers, because you deserve it after the challenges of this year" which is terrible poo poo that deserves every ounce of ire Justin throws at it

Yeah, the problem is that there needs to be editorializing that, on its own, would merit the segment. I think they've hit that mark maybe ... 5 times.

Mining the internet for dumb poo poo people say on contributor websites is totally on brand, and pretty close to Yahoo Answers. Now I kind of wish they had a Genius lyrical analysis segment, because that's an untapped goldmine. "guys in this one song he says 'rear end' now let me tell you why that actually means donkey and how it relates to this obscure Old Testament passage"

It's more generally making fun of the class of lyric-writing where you sing something that kinda works in the moment with the music but doesn't actually make any goddamn sense, which both of those bands do and DMB does hornily.

Finally got around to listening to the Besties, and I gotta say that I'm pretty stoked to hear Justin and Griffin talking without Travis. It seems like they're usually trying to match Travis' energy, so it's cool hearing them riff off of two other chill guys, one of whom can be a little pessimistic, as opposed to how optimistic and cheery McElroy content can be these days. I don't hate Trav like some people do, but the personality that he's been cultivating over the past few years (including his louder, squeakier voice) is just kind of exhausting. I will say that one of my biggest peeves is hearing how badly people who talk about games are at actually describing games. "Hades I guess is like if you took Doom Eternal, pulled it out of first person, added in Baldur's Gate mechanics, then took out those mechanics, and I guess uh it's completely impossible to describe." That's obviously not a quote, but it's just nutty how professional game-talkers can't really find good points of reference for these sorts of things.

Over Christmas I subscribed to a podcast called Escape This Podcast, because British comedian and creator of Taskmaster Alex Horne was on it. I forgot to unsubscribe, and it just refreshed to show that Travis and Justin are the latest guests. It's basically a one hour audio escape room.

That's just made me realise, I would love to see the McElroy brothers and Clint be on Taskmaster. There's no reality in which that happens obviously but goddamn that would be absolute carnage.
