I always go for "I want to gently caress my dad" because I figure you should just jump in at the deep end.

I added a couple more songs to the playlist yesterday, and when I get some free time I'm going to run through the back catalogue and try and soundhound all of the unlabeled intro/outros from the first 200 or so episodes (currently none of them are listed in the episode descriptions). Hope to have it a lot more complete before the end of the year!

Saying stupid things in a mocking or smug way doesn't make it any less stupid.

As someone who's spoken with Seth about sobriety over the phone, it's disheartening. The guy is genuinely miserable about the decision it seems.

I'm two months sober, though... So there's that.

Yesss, this is the yearly episode where they read out the AVN Nominations - "Misleading Teenagers Into Anal Sex" and "Trust-Fund Trannies" are two of the funniest things I've ever heard.

407: "What's your experience with MILFs?"

The end of that story is just awesome.

Nooooo, thread, don't kid yourselves. Jonathan pretty much admitted to committing a rape, and it wasn't funny or entertaining in the least. "She never responded to my MySpace request!" Well, based on the story you just told? Yeah! No poo poo.

That said, you will compartmentalize and accept things about a person if you enjoy their work or their personality. You'll gleefully lambaste a public figure that you have no connection to for their behavior, but you'll overlook another's if it's convenient. For example, my grandfather was one of my greatest influences in life, and he thought Woody Allen's comedy was beyond compare. He introduced me to Allen's work during a formative period in my adolescence and, as a result, "Love and Death," "Bananas," "Take the Money and Run," "Sleeper," they're among my favorite films of all time. I know the jokes by heart. These days I just swallow hard and ignore the drama of Woody's personal life (and the pedophilia jokes in the films themselves) because those movies mean something to me. I want to recognize their merits and the memory of my grandfather sharing something with me more than I want to recognize the fact that Woody Allen is a goddamn creep who hosed his adopted daughter and is now handsy as poo poo with the pubescent girls who live with him and call him Dad.

I hate the shithead kids of wealthy people who can seemingly get away with anything, and I hate drunk drivers. Jonathan and Seth both fit those descriptions in their pasts. Yet the one hour a week I get to listen to them - even when they are reminiscing about those days - entertains me enough that I can gloss over those histories in my mind. I know it's hypocrisy, dammit, but my solipsistic need to be entertained eventually supersedes my sense of "decency." A Horse Named Mandy, there is almost certainly a celebrity that your girlfriend loves who is/was a loving monster. Hell, just turn on "Thriller." See if her immediate reaction is anything besides "Michael Jackson was a child rapist."

It's not just the merch issues, really. I don't mean to complain a lot but there's something I've been noticing in the last few months.

In between the LA live show and the Boston one there was a 2 week break, completely understandable since it was 2 big shows on opposite sides of the country. They dropped a 'long-form stories' episode to fill the gap between those shows that some people liked, some didn't. But the point was they made an effort to provide some sort of content so there wouldn't be a huge gap, especially right after the Patreon started. But after the Boston show, there was another 2 week gap, another one between that 'in-studio' episode and the 2 NYC episodes, and yet another one after that.

It just seems like, since the crowdfunding started, there's actually been less consistency than before. I'm not pulling my hair out or anything over episodes of a podcast, and I apologize if it seems like I am. The issue I have here is it just seems like the Patreon has enabled Jonathan to use other people's dough to be even flakier than usual, which is really effed up.

Sorry, I'll shut up now.

uyd@me.com goes directly to Jonathan. I would e-mail him and bitch. I am honestly not surprised that he continues to be a gently caress up about this stuff, and probably wouldn't get fixed if the Patreon dipped low. He is just that kind of guy.

Seth and Jah aren't about that poo poo man. They're definitely feminists. You're looking for Joe Rogan.

Cached Money posted:

Yeah, I was thinking about those too. Are there any good stories of Seth's pre sobriety life I've missed or does he just not tell many of those? I still haven't listened to all the eps.
