I haven’t listened to the main show in a very long time. Did they ever cover the sandwich crypto stuff?

wow this tights & fights ad was so bad that I had to come here and post about it

also, isn’t the whole point of a podcast the talent? How do all these MaxFun pods churn through like all of their hosts and keep truckin?

The ad is bad and the show is worse. I really wish podcasts would stop fashioning themselves as "about wrestling" when they follow only one product.

Talk for an hour about Okada you fuckin cowards.

It was a good live show, but Travis's unending meanness to his dad is still grating to me. Clint got to do virtually nothing the entire time and you could tell by the end he was getting a little frustrated that he just was not allowed to do ANYTHING.

I know right? The most annoying instance of this was when Clint wanted to help Aabria with her healing and Travis said no because he doesn’t have magic and she was doing magical healing, and Clint’s character could only heal psychic damage. First, as far as I can tell this is a rule that Travis literally made up on the spot that serves no purpose except to exclude Clint from participating in the thing that was happening in-game at that moment. Second, the moment it happened I literally said to myself “I would bet money that there is not going to be a single point of ‘psychic damage done at any point during this game” AND I WAS RIGHT.

Overall, extremely good and insanely cracked live show.

it would be extremely funny if, considering the joke of the old ad is that they say Sasha Banks like 5 times while listing off the different things they talk about, she's become persona non grata on the podcast after leaving the fed

it's been a while since there's been some good MaxFun ads talk

my closely held opinion is that the ad for the Jackie & Laurie show which sounds like it was recorded extemporaneously off their phones sucks

2. Doesn't post in this thread

If you go back too far it becomes more and more problematic.

The fact that they are brothers was novel and fun at first but I can’t help but feel like they lean on that too much instead of coming up with something interesting.

There's a few MaxFun ads that are quite bad, but also are completely inept at communicating anything about the podcast or why I would want to listen to it.

Like there's one that has some people make vague noises and then someone says "what you are listening to is real", or something, as if they were proud of the previous clip? I still have no idea what that podcast is about, or even how anyone could conceivably gain any understand from the clip in question. There is zero information transferred. Your podcast is about humans saying unconnected words??

Is it just like a ton of references I'm missing or is the podcast actually dadaist nonsense?

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."
I liked the one mbmbam ad that was like, "at last, all shall be revealed. 350 episodes and each one contains a clue for a massive puzzle"

The only good podcast ad is the gold buying ad in iHeartRadio podcasts that started out with the standard lies about gold being safe and always retaining its value and each new ad slowly became more unhinged until it's now just WORLD WAR 3 IS ABOUT TO KICK OFF.

I had one of those mind-blown-but-not-really-because-it's-not-THAT-exciting moments when I realized the band teacher from Joe Pera Talks With You is the voice from those Dr. Game Show ads.

Jo Firestone is pretty great but I'll admit I made it through an entire season of Joe Pera thinking she was Jenny Slate.
