After reading about all of the fans' parasocial boundary problems the McElorys' run into (and honestly profit from), I have come to the honest conclusion that the way the Action Boyz handle the same thing is the best solution:

1. Constantly berate your audience
2. Want nothing to do with them including zero interaction
3. Mock and troll them mercilessly when they post stupid poo poo

Gabrus in general seems to be lowkey the best podcaster to handle this poo poo. Any live show he's on with guys like Doughboys who have a more playful and 'close' interaction with the audience always winds up with him saying 'hey morons settle down we're just idiots talking about Taco Bell, neither party's opinion here means anything' and it's always a delight.

I watched it earlier. The best part is when Griffin talks over “Big Sticky Mess” while warning the others not to talk over that part.

Yeah the banana wasn't as good as I expected. Maybe it's better without the commentary?

Well way down South where the air gets hot
There's an island retreat
Hiding preteen thots
And a real famous cat who died in his cell
And if heaven exists then I hope he’s in hell

It's the little Saint James (little Saint James)

I've realized over time that all my favorite online entertainers do this

large groups of people will inevitably have people acting in stupid and bizarre ways and you just need to tell them to gently caress off sometimes to keep them as a whole in check

It seems to me that the worst thing you could possibly do is say something like "we have the best fans!"

It will only encourage the creepiest ones to double down on the creepiness because they think you've seen them and are encouraging it, and it will make the rest feel entitled

Saying you have the worst fans, now that's productive. Gives the creeps a wake up call and encourages the rest to do better

That was a weird segment because Devo was doing a really bad job of getting his point across. I don't think it was intentional, Devo is supposed to be a really good orator, I think maybe Travis just didn't practice what he was going to say before he said it.

I think he has a decent point though. It's very obvious that the three players made their characters without taking into account the fact that their group would be solely responsible for piloting and maintaining a ship. None of them have ever done either of those things before. I'm not sure whether Griffin failed to let them in on the fact that those skills would be relevant or if the players failed to account for that in their character creation, but it has lead to some awkward moments. Devo has fallen comfortably into the pilot role, but so far whenever something bad happens to the engines, they just sort of flounder around for a while. Griffin seems to be angling toward making Urchin the ship's mechanic, but it makes sense to me that Devo would want to add another person to the crew A) because they keep almost dying and that is scary and B) so that they have someone onboard who actually knows things about ships and can be called upon to do something when those skills are required.

if Patton Oswalt can fly to the bleak Midwest and hang out with the RLM guys and Bullseye can get David Byrne within like a week of JJGo featuring one half of TMBG then Kevin James could certainly one day deign to pod with the “they were in Trolls 2” McElroys
