You do have to wonder how much Maximum Fun is slinging them for staying on that network. Not to say their hey day is behind them, but lord knows when Adventure Zone was really cooking they have to have slapped down other options.

MaxFun donations go 25% to the network and the rest to the shows the donor selects, so they make an amount vaguely proportional to how many listeners they have.

Presumably Maxfun only gets a cut off the podcast stuff and not the books or tv stuff.

speaking of books was a 5th(?) TAZ comic ever confirmed? usually they'd have mentioned preorders a few times by now

The publisher has it listed but no cover: https://us.macmillan.com/series/theadventurezone

Amazon, Target, and other sites list a February 2023 release date. Looks like it's taking longer or they are spending longer on it instead of the usual annual schedule.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
Clint writes those doesn't he? Wonder if he just took some time to do his grandpa book and the schedule got pushed back.

I skipped it because I listened to it the first time and it felt like they came down on the "this might be something but there's not really any solid evidence that its more than just a psychosomatic thing", did she really go all in on it being real in the new one?

this is exactly what it is and what she was strongly implying it was (because there isn't sufficient evidence that that's what it is), functional neurological disorders and other psychogenic poo poo have real symptoms affecting people, they're just not caused by mind-rays or whatever the gently caress

Yeah, I didn't get any sense that she was saying it was real, just "here's some more information, we still don't really know what's going on"

I don't think Sydnee would go so far as to say "this is fake" because her complete devotion to the scientific method means she can't.

I haven't listened to the new episode on Havana Syndrome yet, but I did listen to the first one. My impression is that Sydnee is very much against saying to a patient "no, actually you don't feel that way, you don't know what you're talking about" and I think she's being careful not to be dismissive of the patient's complaints. They actually experienced the effects they described, they weren't being babies or weak-minded or whatever, and Sydnee doesn't want to insinuate as much through her phrasing. None of that means that she actually believes that there are actually politically-motivated sonic attacks in hotels and embassies or whatever the gently caress.

Again, haven't heard the episode, but I find it very hard to believe she just suddenly "believes in it" now. I'll have to listen for myself I guess

Well, okay. It's less that she says it's real but she did switch to calling each case an "attack", and the episode is very much a "Based on CIA information, which is 100% true because why would they lie" sort of thing

I think that’s just vernacular. Like “panic attack” or “anxiety attack”, “heart attack”, etc.

I’ve heard stuff like Koro and Fan Death referred to as coming on in an “attack” too

attacks are sudden onset symptoms, the Havana syndrome lie is that it's a chronic illness.

I just don't trust anyone who even gives credulity to the 'well they sure THINK there's something wrong' element beyond 'this is mass hysteria'. It's impossible to divorce the Havana poo poo from the extreme political elements. It's such a uniquely political 'disease' it's impossible to pretend it deserves any attention deeper than 'this is fake, the people in charge are gassing up hysterical hypochondriacs who think their hangover is a James Bond plot'.

Like, even poo poo like Morgellons is at least genuine mental illness that weird conspiracy people have latched onto, this is the opposite of that.

I think it’s a big risk to make statements that are vouching for people who are essentially propagating a weird political fiction. Are those old white ladies who clearly are having panic attacks and call the police on black folks minding their own business real sufferers too? The effects are real? The cause is just rooted in their broken rear end brain.

Yes, if someone is having an actual panic attack, that's absolutely a clinical problem that needs to be dealt with, even if it's being triggered by the person being a horrible racist. The point is exactly that it's in their broken-rear end brain and that doesn't make the person's reported experiences any less real to them.

This is correct:

We're discussing an old podcast discussion without any hot takes when the newest one has her saying the CDC hasn't approved of a 4th COVID shot, so that means that you don't need one. (Also, we should all be doing the simple things we know help fight the pandemic: get vaccinated, wear masks, avoid large indoor crowds, buy tickets to our live shows.)

Are you just trolling at this point

Her words were "you don't need a 4th vaccine right this minute" because the studies she read said that it takes about 6 months for immunity to wane and most people got their last booster less than 6 months ago, and the EUA for a 4th dose hasn't gone through yet so you can't get one, and to expect that we can get our 4th ones soon.
