bartok posted:I forgot what a disgusting vile person Tom Leykis is inside and out. It was a hilarious episode but also a very uncomfortable listen especially that clip with the caller complaining about his wife wanting him to leave his band. I think at one point he talks about knocking some sense into his wife. I wish I could go back to the days when I thought Leykis was a character James Adomian created for Comedy Bang! Bang!. Yeah, I had never heard of him except oblique street fight references before starting Shocktober and boy howdy does he seem like a completely miserable sack of poo poo. It probably shouldn't be as shocking as it is how many of these guys are just absolutely putrid, vile individuals. The Stern episodes have been really refreshing after all of the racism, misogyny, homophobia etc of the others. I thought for sure my normie Chicago buddy would know a Mancow fan but alas, the hunt continues.

Oh poo poo! SF actually has a following here? I stumbled across it a few years ago via in-app recommendations (Overcast, maybe?) and thought I was probably one of a few dozen folks who listened to it & really enjoyed it.

The break-up and the month or two leading up to it were a bummer, but I've gotta say Bryan has been releasing some really good shows, both on the free feed and the Patreon. bartok posted:I forgot what a disgusting vile person Tom Leykis is inside and out.

The Tom Leykis show had so much horrible audio in it it was almost more than I can handle. What a loving monster. Jesse Farrar seemed so defeated by the end of it.

Malaria posted:There's a few of us. This thread will go weeks without a post and then have short bouts of activity. I started listening before Brett got divorced and I had come to the conclusion that (as far as the show's purpose seemed intended) he was the rock and that Brian would sometimes drift out of orbit only to have Brett pull him back in. Post-divorce, Brett's heel turn into mental health issues has been difficult to stomach, if only because it feels like I'm watching this happen to a friend, to someone I kinda' know from listening to the show for the past few years.

the beginning of the end was brett chickening out on doing hedo brett this is kind of lol but Bryan's experience inspired me to seek out ketamine infusion therapy and poo poo i wild but also seems to really be working better than previous antidepressants I've tried but also I can still bust so 10/10. I've been off street fight for a bit though because I really do miss the Bryan/Brett interaction, not say Bryan by himself doesn't make great shows, but for the call in show especially I feel like there's a piece missing.

I was never able to sit through the entirety of a Weed Waffles call, I'd listen to a few seconds then skip forward, then listen a bit, etc. Always astonished by how long he was able to go.

Bryan mentioned again in this last ep that he's doing some kind of format change around November 15 and separately opined that if he were to ever have another permanent cohost, it would be Chris James who he does some of the Shocktober stuff with so that could be interesting. I like listening to Bryan because I just like the idea of a good-natured midwestern oaf trying desperately to put on a radio show about the stuff he likes and the man has a talent for chronicling a very specific slice of culture in America

Doxxing myself because I tweeted it at Bryan but I went to Chicago and immediately saw Mancow, who told the staff of the restaurant as he was leaving that his name was Mancow

Mancow’s the best, I’ve been meaning to ask my brother in law if he has any mancow stories because he grew up in chicago. He might try to throw me out of the room.

oh poo poo i didnt know there was a new shocktober, i was just listening to the old episodes. anthony and opie are an interesting pair, one guy is a oval office and compensates for it by being funny, the other guy isnt funny and compensates for it by being a oval office mancow is my favourite thought because he just lies like a child lies i did some calls early on for chris james' prank show but i kinda fell out of contact with him. hes very funny but a hard guy to read because its difficult to tell if hes doing a bit. you can never tell if you really pissed him off or if he was overreacting to be funny because he acts the exact same way in both scenarios. im glad hes getting more media out there though because he is very talented and a kind guy overall. one thing thats interesting if you do prank these guys is you can tell like who is the biggest rear end in a top hat to people around them by how attentive their call screeners are. id expected it to be related to budget, and it is a little bit, but you have some Fox guys whose call screeners absolutely hate them and will let basically anyone through. Hannity has weirdly loyal guys and idk if its just purely money based or if he is at least polite to people around him. But like, Todd Starnes, idk if hes even on fox any more, his screeners would let through basically anyone. i called mancow both at the tail end of his shock jock career on WLUP (i think in 2017?) and him on his new weird christian radio poo poo, and his call screener was a lot more dedicated when he was a shock jock. i think he lost his whole fanbase basically.

I think that "Who Da' Baby Daddy" is probably the worst audio Bryan has played all year.

I wonder if it's a Patreon thing, like they wouldn't let him easily change the bank account to his from Brett's or something. Brett has just made some normal apology-type posts today, nothing that seems close to referring to this stuff. https://twitter.com/BrettPain/status/1610666625509752838 https://twitter.com/BrettPain/status/1610687634870882304

I guess the split wasn't so amicable after all. Not to be a total downer I am really enjoying the "Now We're Cooking" series especially the Tourgasm episode he did with Kath Barbadora. https://twitter.com/murderxbryan/status/1611460297503416326?s=20

I know it’s nosy of me but I really wish we knew better just what is going on. Both Brett’s and Bryan’s language surrounding this has been so guarded the whole time.

Boco_T posted:What did that say, it's been deleted already “The answer I can write out now is basically the way I acted during Covid and leading up to my divorce and my getting committed was just too much and I did things that you can't take back. So I'm not in control of how he reacts because that's up to him and I respect it. But I built the show and did years of heavy lifting so I didn't want to give up on it and I feel like it was my career. I dragged that organization for over a decade and avoided tax jail and did almost every piece of paperwork, merch sale and social media. Plus I love all the people that listen. Today I pleaded to make it work out and it can't. I don't want it continuing without me. So he said he would start over then. We [break in images] I didn't pull the rug out from anyone. I didn't gently caress anybody over. I found out about it on twitter like everyone else. In august after my return show I was told I wasn't fit to be on the air and I respected that and I walked away when I was told I was a problem and it came down to either me or him leaving. I have been taking a pay cut since august and was going to be gone in April. I've felt awful since august about how much 1 am villainized on here and how people assume the absolute worst about me. It hurts me deeply. I'm embarrassed what you all think of me and that's part of my journey as well. I am going to work on being more than just an rear end in a top hat I am seeing all the signs I promise I'm not a monster.”

aw that's kind of heartbreaking but i get it. probably why bryan is being such a class act about it. he knows his friend is really struggling and doesn't want to put him on blast, but the working relationship isn't functioning at all and he had to get out for his own well being. ugh my heart absolutely aches for brett.

Yeah as someone who has been through some pretty major brain issue phases there’s just some relationships that get broken forever. It’s a bummer but I don’t think anyone would be at fault.

It sucks, there was a call-in show in late 2018 where it was clear that they were really enjoying working together as a team, and the audience was digging the vibe, and it remains one of my favorite episodes of any podcast. It really feels like one of those cases where the intense stress of the pandemic and its attendant political and social problems just ended up squeezing some people too hard and their ways of keeping themselves together broke down. Just a huge bummer.

I want to say somewhere in the past few days it was mentioned that that's still on the release schedule, because it came up in terms of how awkward the show is gonna be with hindsight.

Nick the means guy said in the fb group comments that they're still planning to release the TV show this spring.

hadji murad posted:When is the best time to change Patreons without getting charged twice? Depends on how both creators have them set up, at this point. Bryan's seems to be using the same "charge on the first for the past month" model as SFR's, so probably end of month/1st since you're gonna eat one from SFR this month already?

Bryan was clearly not the sound guy on Street Fight. His audio on all his new stuff is like half the volume of the guests. Listening in the car earlier the guests were loud and I couldn’t hear Bryan at all over the road noise

I was watching the video version and I had to have the volume cranked way up to hear anything.
