Harmontown has been a dire, dire podcast for going on half a year or more now and i say this as one of its biggest fans for almost 2 years it's some rough, dull, unfunny stuff nowadays

Although I still enjoy Harmontown, I can recognize the general decline in quality. I think there are chiefly three reasons why: Shadowrun, which is basically always bad because no one seems to actually enjoy it and it feels forced (also Demorge); the loss of Kumail as a show standard; and the reliance on celebrity guests nowadays, which seems to be a consequence of the show's attempt to monetize with the video stream. Some guests are loving incredible (like Paget Brewster) and some are just kind of there and interfere with the dynamic of the show but Dan keeps bringing them on in order to justify charging $5 a month for the premium subscription. However, recent developments like losing Erin as a standard might be a good thing in the long run. Erin was fine most of the time but she was never the funniest part of the show and since she she left Dan has been on loving fire. The last few episodes (except for the NY show, which is understandable) have been amazing.

Space_Butler posted:"Good riddance" used in that way made both perfect sense and no sense. If the show were still going, I could see that getting shoved into a script somehow. Schrab is a national treasure, but I'm not sure Dan's heart could handle the stress of having him on every week.

All I want is an episode where Schrab and Mitch Herwitz are both guesting. I just want to see the man who prides himself on how frazzled people can get (mainly Dan) meet the chillest celebrity guest to date. It's the Unflappable subject meeting the perpetually Flapping force. And Kumail because he's always fun.

One of my favorite episodes was when Schrab was on for a Scud anniversary, and Hurwitz and Kumail busted his balls and it was fantastic. Schrab is great when people are beating up on him; he's so good at being the victim. Edit: episode 87, "Kiss Doesn't Get the Joke" http://podbay.fm/show/542228532/e/1390849890

He just feels lovely and thinks that it's impossible for him to have a healthy productive relationship, so he's removing himself from the dating pool by more efficiently masturbating. There's a lot of layers at work here.

To be fair his self-loathing isn't far off the mark; he seems like a spectacularly lovely person to be in a relationship with, compounded further by the fact that he knows his own limitations but refuses to address them

Honestly, though, him being fully aware of the poo poo that's wrong with him makes it worse. I tapered off Harmontown when I realized he was neither exaggerating his faults to be funny or putting in any effort to do better. He seems to think being the first to call out his behavior is enough, and it got depressing.
