He seems like a swell person, and is clearly a ok to good businessman to helm Maximum Fun.

I'm still floored that I feel like I've never seen a picture of him with short facial hair. It's three to ten times longer than most people grow it out. Could be a gift, could be a curse. I don't know how the man eats soup.

Jesse Thorne is ageless, simultaneously young and wizened, like a child that kept getting larger but not older until the day he suddenly grew a Rip van Winkle beard

what I’m saying is that maybe Jesse Thorne is a wayward Astari, distracted from Eru’s purpose by the human delights of podcasting and the riches to be found in SF-area thrifting

I'm quite behind on all their podcasting stuff, but this week's Monster Factory felt like they never left, and Trial by Fieri has been a lot of fun.

Is Travis's Stardew Valley thing any good? Been digging Trial by Ferrari well enough.

Somehow I missed the first one so I just experienced it today and hoo boy that's some good content. Pat's ultimate straight man schtick up against Ben Schwartz is really fun to see

What's the betting it was classic brotherly ribbing and they both just laughed it off or were actively cracking up during the conversation and somehow these knuckleheads have missed that (bonus points if I am also falling into this trap by assuming they are being embarrassing by pretending to be embarrassed by internet non drama).

Sometimes it's dumb sibling ribbing, and sometimes you're not in the mood for sibling ribbing and you overreact.


It could be either in this case, though I don't really care.

I am the loser who just watched that 5 min exchange along with Justin's replies in chat and yea Justin came in with the jokes that Travis definitely took seriously and Justin basically started throwing real shade back ("sorry that I like spending time with my kids more than playing switch"). Typical Travis taking jokey criticism too seriously.

y’all thinking that an Elder Brother and a Middle Brother don’t fight all the loving time like God intended are loving fooling yourselves

the only one who maybe doesn’t fight is Griffin, because that’s how baby brothers work. But if I had to put money down it’s probably almost guaranteed that Travis fights with both of them and it’s not weird and shouldn’t really be News

They were, but no police officer was brave enough to attempt to apprehend the living weapon that is Justin McElroy.

It's to separate themselves from East Virginia.

The man has a gift for making bad leaps of logic in his reactions to being annoyed. Before it was the "this is what bad people do", in this he tries to sarcastically ask "what are you streaming, because you care about entertaining people". The pause afterwards like he delivered a sick burn, which it wasn't, is also kind of incredible.



It's really not a big deal, it's a minute out of of a two hour stream, but it's fascinating.

America's Favorite Dumbass

This is some weak sauce for this thread. Get some theory crafting going. I want to hear about how Justin is mad about Travis not being fully bought into the hyper anarch neo grassroot leftist movement and blames him for the death of Grunno, the forth brother, in that train accident.
