:siren: NEW MCELROY PODCAST :siren:

Sydnee and her sister Rileigh talk about teenage life yesterday and today in Still Buffering

I think one of the reasons I like these podcasts so much is the realness factor. Like, no poo poo a straight up family based podcast 'empire' has a lot of that but even in stuff like MBMBAM you have these dumb tangents that only work when they come from people who have genuinely spent years riffing off eachother, and then stuff like Sawbones where it's just 'hey my wife's really smart about this poo poo and I'm curious, let's hear some weird or gross medical stuff'.

Also how long till at the next MaxFunCon Justin just knifes Jessie in the back and says "The McElroys send their regards" and complete their domination plot.

Yea wasn't bowled over by Still Buffering but I'll give it a shot to find its voice a bit better. Shmanners is very interesting but obviously meant as a genuine 'this is neat' kinda show rather than a joke thing, which I'm fine with. As once said by a great wizard, it doesn't have to be goof goof dildo

The aesthetic difference between Teresa asking Travis if he's written thank you notes for holiday gifts and Griffin and Rachel discussing if master puppeteers have puppets specifically for boning is the widest of valleys, separating my worst nightmares of marriage from my wildest dreams.

I'm just incredibly into the fact that the brothers seemed to independently all find a way to marry Chipettes versions of themselves.

Yea one of the best examples about how...let's call them certain factions...don't give a poo poo about actual ethics in journalism is that there are legit things to say 'ok well I kinda don't trust any review coming from you after these past examples of you being dumb and shady' but instead they focus on 'AND IN A REVIEW SAYING HOW GREAT WITCHER 3 IS HE ALSO MENTIONED IT WAS A BIT LAME THAT LIKE ALL FANTASY GAMES IT'S BASICALLY ALL WHITE PEOPLE WITH poo poo LIKE ELVES AND DWARFS REPRESENTING MINORITIES THAT loving CORRUPT LOSER'.

If you're already a donor to maxfun they're sending links out to the donor content already. The MBMBAM and Adventure Zone bonus episodes are already up and boy are they great. Spoiler, Adventure Zone is Travis GMing and it's genuinely solid.

I don't think it's funny, but I do think it's pretty fascinating that a man that is very much in the public eye right now is getting a very specific set of celebrities to make a reference to an obscure bit from a donor-supported podcast. He peaked with The Rock, I think, but it's still really interesting to me.

Yea I don't think the entertainment value is meant to be funny, more like 'haha holy poo poo this dude who's probably the biggest broadway dude right now is trying to get a rogue's gallery of every celeb the brothers mention a lot making reference to a really rando joke they did once'.

Nature box / Blue Apron, whatever. You're paying a premium for the convenience of not having to make the selection yourself. Not my thing, but I can see why people might want it.

The product I never understood was Stack-Soap. It's a bar of soap that has a groove so you can fit the sliver of the old bar in, and not waste it. ...but wet soap sticks to wet soap. You can just 'glue' the old bar to the new bar, regardless of shape. Doesn't everyone do this? This product does literally nothing for you.

I think my issue with blue apron vs the others is it's this weird 'we're disrupting the system man' thing that really just monetizes ignorance and lack of life skills. Like, it overcharges for ~the convenience~ of not having to go to the store but it's not like that's not actually a super important skill to have. Not just literally 'leave your home and go to the store' but like...smart shopping and poo poo. Coupons, store brands, looking at deals and all that, these are really important life skills no matter who you are and trying to throw in a 'or just pay me every week and I'll mail you stuff, don't worry about it' feels...gross I guess?

Plus I don't like anything that presents 'cooking' as if it's this barrier filled skill that boy howdy you need a lot of help to start huh? Mystifying the process of making food is how junk food companies and all keep their customers. There's no way you can just MAKE this stuff, better pay us an extra couple of bucks and you can just dump it in a pot and cook. That kinda stuff. The kind of people who can afford to pay someone a constant fee to mail them a box of ingredients can also afford to go to the store and remove the veil of mystery around food making.

It's like if someone started a service that just mailed you a fresh shirt and pants every day because gently caress laundry right guys?

The only funny Tabletop podcast worth checking out besides TAZ is One Shot/Campaign, through one shot can be pretty uneven because, well its one shots, so they have a ton of different guests and different systems. But its mostly funny improv people so it works out.

Agreed, there are others I like but the most consistent 'this is just gonna make the day better to listen to' has been TAZ and One Shot/Campaign for sure.

Not really random, think it was a comment on Travis painting his nails. I don't care, Travis can do what he wants that's cool, but I am also pretty :rolleyes: about dudes painting their nails, particularly when they try to market it like Alpha Nail does. Wear nail polish dude, that's fine, but don't try to act like you're taking it back and making it manly. That's like...style gentrification but with testosterone instead of lattes. If the whole point is to break down gender norms, why would you make a transparent attempt at reinforcing them at the same time?

Did Travis try to sell the 'Alpha Nail' poo poo or something? Like I have a couple buddies who do their nails and they just buy nail polish like an adult. I'm almost positive Alpha Nail isn't actually A Thing other than the fact that I'm sure it literally exists somewhere.

Yea Clint is a legit Comic Guy, his Green Hornet was really fuckin good and I'm glad he's giving some commentary on the new reboot (I'm sorry, reBIRTH, as we know this is NOT a marketing stunt....)

Yea I just kinda like a dude who genuinely likes comics. There's a poo poo ton of cynical poo poo in comic fandom especially, it's kinda nice to have a guy be all 'yea I really like this poo poo, obviously I'm gonna call out when it sucks but I want these characters to be fun and engaging not just an excuse to nerd rage'.

I have heard the comedians + kids = lovely comedian bit before... in Patton Oswalt's standup. I can't think of any comedian whose product changed one way or the other after a kid, but I don't exactly follow the trade. Can you name any?

Yea and hilariously this only really came true...with Patton Oswalt. I still love the dude as a comic and all but he for sure evolved into 'a ton of my comic bits are now about my kid/domestic life'. I can't think of anyone that actually happened to other than the dude who vowed to die before it happened...
