It's probably better for him because he was having a lot of meltdowns on there

I agree but it was starting to get to the point where I was concerned for him

I would definitely listen to their Star Trek podcast.

Dave showed up back on Twitter today

It's not saying suspended. He probably just deleted it again.

Probably less than that, given he deleted his Twitter a week or so ago, then came back, then apparently deleted it again.

I've listened to Roderick on Friendly Fire (his war movie podcast), which includes the two guys who do the Greatest Generation Star Trek podcast, and he comes off as kind of a weird libertarian type a lot of the time

I've also listened to that, but not that often because they tend to go on long tangents that take up half the episode at times.

That describes half of podcasts these days, or at least the ones I listen to. Whenever I find one of those, my criteria for whether or not I keep going is 50% �is the topic interesting� and 50% �do I like the hosts� banter/chemistry enough to be entertained?� I do tend to skip a lot of Omnibus eps, though, especially since the topic is always such a grab bag.

Yeah that podcast in particular it's better to just choose by topic

and yes I think a lot of good podcasts come down to how entertaining the hosts are. If they aren't very entertaining it's probably not worth it unless you really, really like the content

lol ok.

so who the gently caress is bean man? i don't follow twitter as much as i should. like he was a weird boomer dad and than he turned out to be a weird edgelord bigot years ago and probably still is?

John Roderick is a musician who currently does a couple of podcasts, including one with Ken Jennings.

Parakeet vs. Phone posted:

He's all over the MaxFun network so he's pretty connected to a lot of podcasts and apparently Dave. He does music for a lot of them too. Alongside the Ken Jennings podcast he also does a war movies podcast with the Greatest Generation guys that I was just getting ready to check out. My Brother, My Brother and Me already announced that they're distancing themselves from him and getting new theme music. All cause he had to post about those beans.

Yeah the first thing I thought about was Friendly Fire

Honestly he's the worst part of that show so if they decided to ditch him I would be fine with that

# ¿ Jan 4, 2021 01:09

He's pretty much the definition of 'extremely online'

I wonder what the Greatest Generation guys are going to do about Friendly Fire now. :S

My guess is that John leaves, because they are very sensitive to their own gently caress ups and I can't imagine he sticks around. Neither of them has Tweeted anything about this whole fiasco today, but they are not on Twitter much anyway.

Is that the first time they�ve covered that topic? I thought they had already.

HBO has a documentary series coming out about The Dale, which was covered in an old episode. It releases on the 31st.

The HBO doc about The Dale is now live

The story is really interesting but I hate the style of the doc.

It�s a little strange

I�m also getting this weird vibe from the doc like they are treating her as a trans trailblazer when she was a con artist?

Is that one of the ones they don't save? If so, that's disappointing because it sounds really funny.

Yes the live ones are not saved, which I find a little strange since pre-COVID they would post all of their live episodes

I get a scary vibe from Dave sometimes. Like, someday he could commit a murder-suicide to spare his family from climate change. I don't think he will, but I certain can't imagine Laurie Kilmartin or Patton Oswalt killing their kids.

I do think he really needs therapy

Well involving baseball. And i hope Dave does do an episode on the rules of the game at point

For people who don't know baseball?

That�s probably a four hour podcast minimum

His Civil War documentary spent an awful lot of time trying to make the Confederacy look like they were good guys.

I watched it like a year ago and I really don�t feel like it did

They did explain the parts about how poor rural people were forced to fight for the Confederacy on behalf of rich plantation owners, but I never felt like they hand waved the South

Dapper_Swindler posted:

yeah. i heard it has issues because it doesn't cover everything but over all its great.

I appreciated the beginning parts that went into Vietnam's history under French rule and the post-WWII push for independence which was denied by the Allied Powers. Needless to say, Ho Chi Minh didn't appreciate that after believing that the US would get them out from under France's thumb.

Like you can see how we basically took over France's colonial project and it went to hell very fast.

To me the most important part is the idea that the whole thing was doomed to failure from the beginning and was never going to succeed, which I think is important because as we know, a lot of right-wing attitudes regarding Vietnam were that it was winnable but we were too weak and gave up or whatever.

# ¿ May 9, 2021 00:13

FlamingLiberal: Jan 18, 2009; Would you like to play a game?

It's very clear to me that a lot of higher-ups in the Executive Branch legitimately bought into the Domino Theory, because that was the primary justification for staying in Vietnam well after it was obvious that the outcome was going to be bad.

It's not at all different from why we have been dragging our feet forever with staying in Afghanistan when it's very clear that we are never going to be able to create a stable country there.

Yes I've been enjoying all of the baseball episodes we've gotten this year

I want to say earlier last year Dave said he wanted to do one on Michael Bloomberg but I don't know if he forgot, or what

Biden would make sense, although that Clarence Thomas confirmation episode was a lot about Biden

I doubt it would be Kamala, she hasn't been around that long
