indigi posted:also they should do the guest host thing but only with other podcasts, like let the Flagrant Ones do a week then the Action Boyz do a week then Threedom or w/e This reminds me of when like 80% of good comedy podcasts were still happening at the earwolf studios and I always wished they would’ve done the gimmick that newspapers do on April 1st where all the comic strip artists are scrambled. One week where every host/host crew is shuffled over to someone else’s show.

LA comedian Joey Clifford (amongst others) tweeted that Lowe's been alleged in some sexual abuse stuff. Clifford in particular pointed out the Doughboys have had more known abusers on than native Americans (I cannot remember the exact wording). The Doughboys squared it by donating a pretty significant figure to a woman's shelter and running a "we're sorry for having Rob Lowe on" thing at the start of the next podcast. E: oh, you mean you missed the shade - I missed it too!

At one point in the episode, they said something like, "We've had two of the main cast members of Parks and Recreation on the show, and one we would even talk to again!" clearly referencing the Rob Lowe controversy. Then later on, when they were listing other podcasts people should be listening to instead of theirs, Mitch said, "There's a very special episode of Get Played you can listen too," which seemed like a pretty clear dig at Nick for the infamous Custer's Revenge episode with Joey Clift.

Thanks. I thought the reference to a special episode was Mitch on Get Played but you're probably right. Also, I remember Joey Clift had a hot tweet about the Rob Lowe episode so I thought the other post was referring to that.

I am never, ever going to tell a minority or marginalized person to 'act with grace' when confronting racism and bigotry, but if its your friends and they were well meaning while still being subconsciously racist (and you definitely are in the right), maybe use a quantum of magnanimity. That said, I am not a marginalized person, so I ultimately I can't judge Clift and his response. At least the episode worked as a learning opportunity.

you can judge cliff on the standard of friendship though and friends don’t grandstand on each other’s mistakes I however will call Nick and Mitch fuckin dipshit idiots for the Rob Lowe thing and having Pratt on wasn’t much better tbh

indigi posted:you can judge cliff on the standard of friendship though and friends don’t grandstand on each other’s mistakes True, but I am very aware that I (mundane white guy) have a lot more magnanimity cached than a person in Clift’s position who is probably served teaspoons of horseshit everyday. I know using a situation like that as a learning and reconciliation opportunity is good social strategy, but then I don’t believe minorities have any duty to educate their oppressors. Being a nuanced person is a pain the rear end. Btw, “teaspoons of horseshit” is how I explained micro aggressions to my 76 year old father and he instantly understood the concept.

I've writing this poo poo out mostly to get my own thoughts on it straight. I ordered the wrong strain of Delta-8 vape and I am now way too contemplative. As far as Mitch and Wiger being dipshits, yeah, I think having two big 'gets' like that made them willfully neglectful concerning due diligence. 5 minutes of Googling or texting industry friends could have saved them a ton of embarrassment. I am very similar to Mike and Wike in age and socio-economic background, so, while I can't speak for them individually, being a geriatric millennial is a precarious. I am young enough to be a very socially progressive person with secular humanist ideals...but I'm old enough I can't reliably express it without putting my loving foot in my mouth. So loving high.

Putting him on that episode with that game at that time of year was unbelievably thoughtless and kind of mean to be honest, but Nick has a pretty excellent track record wrt representation as far as guests on his podcasts go, and Heather strikes me as a very thoughtful person. But you can't deny that was a hosed up booking. My problem was that says he's friends with Matt, and even if Matt was a big part of the situation, hanging a friend out to dry in public like that sucks. Joey said he only had two options: confront them on the show or walk away and leave it to another Native guest to have to deal with. No, there was actually a third option which was not to make your friend literally cry on a podcast lol. Beyond that, his victory lap after the pod's publication was a bit much, in my eyes. It was 100% the right conversation to have and I strongly believe it was a big net positive. It was very, very clear that all three of them were contrite about what they did and I never thought for a moment that their apologies were remotely disingenuous. The weird victory lap he took afterwards felt a bit much to me. I like Joey and how outspoken he is. I'm just some white guy, but my upbringing and life experiences have made me very sensitive to Native issues for reasons too boring and irrelevant to discuss here. Guy is still kind of an annoying dickhead, though. His biggest crime was making sweet, sensitive Matt Apodaca cry.

Like 1960s Ralph Nader wondering why GM isn’t knocking down his door with job offers.

the weird thing is that I’ve never heard his name or seen his work in literally any other context so I’m left to assume he isn’t funny or interesting at all. like I heard about loving Danno on other podcasts before I started listening to doughboys They are really, really stupid for inviting him to do that game when they did it though no question

It's not something I would do to a friend. Omelets and eggs, I guess. I said it was a net positive and I meant it. What do I know?

Clift was in the right to call them out on the podcast for that booking. (Extremely funny how Wiger kept eating the pumpkin bread as they were being taken to task.) Clift subtweeting Doughboys after the Rob Lowe "incident," though...that was not a good look. Re: Rob Lowe, the Action Boyz had a really good tangent about that recently that was pretty much in line with my sentiments. (In short: do we think the people who raised the biggest stink about that booking haven't watched every single episode of Parks & Rec at least once?)

Action Boyz is probably my favorite podcast but one of their favorite things to do is make false equivalencies to win arguments

I can understand why people were upset about the Rob Lowe episode, though I thought it was an OK episode. What I don't get is the backlash for having Chris Pratt on. I understand that he got too big for his own good, but its not like he was on film loving an underage girl a la Lowe. He was fine as a guest and I liked his story about working at Bubba Gump. The Pratt backlash just feels like people being mad at him being cast in too much poo poo, which I get.

his new church is weird and his old church was anti queer (apparently his new church has financial ties to the old one lol), had that really malicious “I love my wife for giving me a fully healthy baby” Instagram post (he has a disabled child with his ex wife), and in general there’s better guests to have on than a lovely Christian cultist. he wasn’t even that good in the movie. he’s great as Star Lord just let him do that. if Amazon paid them a boat in advertising to do that half episode I do respect that though. I’m not canceling my patreon subscription over it, I just skipped that part and have complained about it once (here) e: like I wouldn’t want one of my favorite podcasts to have Tom Cruise on either for similar reasons (but I’m definitely seeing the next mission impossible opening weekend) indigi fucked around with this message at 05:22 on Jul 1, 2022 |

Among my friends who listen, including a former Ivars employee who liked the place, we over analyzed why Ivars was such a bust. Whenever I’ve been there including that location it ranged from alright to very good. I think they gave it a fair score and just got an unfortunate mix of items, possible the kitchen was having staffing issues that day? Fun to listen to anyway. Now I gotta get to a dough zone, hopefully this weekend.

I have never been to or even heard of Ivar's before this episode but I think the main reason they didn't like it is that they were full from the immediately preceding meal. I also wouldn't like any clams and fish & chips after I just finished a meal of dumplings etc.

Have not been terrified by Nick energy in awhile but when they’d already spent too long explaining the Gad/qbert bit and John admits he doesn’t know q bert, shocking how Nick doesn’t even take a breath before leaping into the task thinking like “yeah I can teach a person from scratch what q bert is I’ll do that now.”

The nice people who became his parents found him in that smoking crater and did their best to teach him how to be a person. Nick kidnaps children to put them in terrariums in his basement so he can observe what it is like to be a human child. Totally innocent intentions.
