Travis has purestrain theater kid energy. As a sincere answer, I think most people prefer Griffin and Justin. There's a reason that Travis' solo projects haven't taken off.

hobbesmaster posted:this is sus had its moments. hingepoints did not. The best episodes are the Million Little Dads ones with his sister and Jack Wagner. I get the impression from some This is Sus episodes + Time For My Stories that Felix would rather talk about shows he likes, but unfortunately his opinions about things he thinks are good are not very interesting.

I watched some of that youtube about the McElroys (which I blissfully knew literally nothing about aside from that one guy doing the soyface a lot - I didn't realize they had a media empire of bad D&D podcasts). It's funny how the video briefly mentions the time they used some predatory loan service as an advertiser alongside stuff like "Travis McElroy being an rear end in a top hat while streaming Among Us." Just mixing in this actual real thing that probably materially hurt many people (given the size audience these shows apparently have) with a bunch of internet bullshit that doesn't matter, like they're all the same. It's like listing the things someone did and casually mixing in the time they raped someone with a list of times they used problematic language or were cringe. That Youtube lady seems like a good person (and did understand that having the 25% APR loans as an advertiser is horrible, and to be fair her whole thing seems to be documenting dumb internet nonsense), but the whole framing seems indicative of the way the internet has completely broken peoples' brains and caused them to confuse self-expression with "real things." You spend too much time reading peoples' opinions online and sooner or later you start thinking those things are actually important.

I used to be a weekly mbmbam listener, but now I’m completely apathetic to them normally and just bank them for multi hour car trips with my wife because she enjoys it / it’s non threatening and because putting on cum town or chapo would get me dirty looks

like whenever she discusses any piece of media she has to add in a really long disclaimer where she says 'I don't think this media is evil. you are not evil for enjoying this media. I condemn all past instances of harassment of fans of this media. please do not do targeted harassment on fans of this media.'

^Yeah, I don't watch her stuff much but I appreciate younger Tumblr people giving little glances into that weird bit of the Internet.

There's a sort of funny bit they did once about Justin being afraid of a glass shark hiding in the pool, and he did a Jaws parody thing. Part of the funny bit is that he clarifies that he was trying to sound Cajun, not black, at the end. This bit was explicitly banned from ever being referenced in the main facebook community because so many people would insist that it was super racist and refuse to shut up about it. Or the bit where the fanbase decided that a non-descript D&D character called Taako was Latino, then that it was really for the McElroys to to name a Latino character Taako/Taco  .

Xaris posted:now only will and Chris needs to move and everyone will be in LA: the new podcast city Don't you need a car in LA? If money wasn't really an object (which it isn't for the Chapo people unless they want a large house in very high CoL city - and even that might be viable, it's not really clear how much each of them makes between all their media properties*), it seems like it would be nicest to live in a fancy apartment/condo in one of the few fully walkable places (if you prefer urban living, which I imagine they do). * IMO the best way of gauging this is the figures Felix comes up with when making fun of people who make a lot of money and send their children to NYU Tisch (which seem to have gradually crept upward over the years). IIRC the most recent stereotype for high salaries he gave was $400k and he also referenced spending $5M on something (forget the context), which sort of carried the implication that spending $1M wouldn't be absurd.

A bunch of people who have driven themselves insane through defining self-expression around their consumer choices. It looks like, when you define yourself by your consumer choices, it also causes you to completely lose your mind when there's a conflict between those choices and your own values.

The video was fine as background viewing but maybe didn't need the five minute sidebar about a fake dnd podcast character created by a mock subreddit. I feel like that's only relevant if someone dressed as that character assassinated Travis

They weren't even mad at the hosts, Justin had to wade into it like a preschool teacher putting down a naptime insurrection. Golden age tumblr nonsense like the Steven Universe fandom.

Alright, I gently caress with Sarah Z and I used to listen to mbmbam so this is on the background. But like before I even get through a 10th of this episode I gotta post the wierd poo poo that was "mbmbam animatics" which were clips from a podcast that someone would animate and they were dope if you liked dumb poo poo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m29U5IIoCM4 And like people stop doing animatics because lmao imagine doing that forever they animate dope poo poo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyC5otywS9U and oh no Sarah Z is playing bad clips from the show and it hurts... Edit I clicked back on the video and saw it was their video content I never watched and I feel... I never listened to the side stuff or any of the D&D podcast empire. I'm very thankful for that choice, an episode every week was the correct dose of McElroy. go past me. KirbyKhan has issued a correction as of 02:27 on May 12, 2022 |

4 years is still before times. Just chill and keep it together. 26:00 in the Sarah K vid: "Look, I am an authority on dungeons and dragons podcasts because I got one too, so I know how this poo poo works here is my CV and I'm not biased" I love it unironically.
