It's true, it was actually good. I hope he can continue this, as it's a big improvement on just saying "I am good at oratory and rhetoric", as Travis McElroy is in fact not

I mean I was ready to drop it but since comboomer keeps being aggro about it, I don't actually care at all that they commented on it or the comment itself, I was just genuinely confused that people thought it was exclusively poor food at first then comboomer's response to me was extremely weird so I rolled my eyes at it. that's the extent to which I wanted to be involved in this very stupid and not even related to the mcelroys conversation but here we are on the next page.

That sounds cool, they’ve had enough variable host episodes that I don’t think it’ll be weird without the McElroys.

Also BDG update, hopefully this means we’ll be hearing big stuff from him!

I feel like BDG could have a long career of voiceover cameos/one-offs on any number of cartoons if he wanted it, recurring/cast roles too but I imagine that’s a bit divergent from where his career appears to be moving atm

His career at the moment is basically hundreds of people send him about ten thousand dollars a month to put out one three minute video a month right?

I honestly have no idea other than those are expensive as gently caress places to try to live.

No clue how much of a cut Patreon takes or how it's taxed, but a steady $120,000 income is certainly above water in either of those places. You aren't in house-buying territory, but you're not living in a shoebox either.

Brian started at about 70K at Polygon according to a Twitter thread he posted irt to salaries, something only achievable thanks to the Vox union's pay floor. Typical media salary in NYC is like ~50kish (if that, I know people full time at Bustle etc who never cracked 40), 120k is "head editor" money. That's a pretty comfortable salary even here.

There's a big difference between living in LA and owning a home and sending kids to private school in LA money.

It depends how you define "success", but that's well above poverty for a single person renting in Brooklyn with roommates, and into "being able to start paying off loans and saving for retirement" territory.

Yeah it’s enough to live on, but if you need to have roommates to make it work I’d say it qualifies as “not a lot of money”

Poor Miserable Gurgi

Which is why I qualified definitions of success, but the idea that you're only successful as a home owner is outdated. We'd have to go into how the entire housing industry is broken, that no one aside from millionaires "owns" a home in NYC, and that even people making over $70k in places like Georgia are finding it hard to buy a home now due to predatory speculation to really get into this, though.

EDIT: And even aside from that, there are studios in the city that go for like $2k a month, which is doable on $70k, though not the best. So even if your only qualifier is whether you have roommates, that's still possible there.

Not as good as Summer Boys (the last live show) but still pretty good. Lots of bits.

I like that you don't even want the chance to meet him, or maybe end up with mutual friends somehow. Just observe him from afar like a cryptid.
