i came to ask if the show has been better since stav left

i stopped listening some time last year bc the show was just kinda lovely and stavs whining about having to do the show got progressively more frequent, which was annoying to me in the context of me not having any money irl thanks to covid so i was like ill just not listen instead of posting about it angrily. i catch the youtube highlights mostly

but the nick/adam episodes were always good

also i regret not buying the benoit bowflex shirt

it's the best it's been since like, idk pre-COVID at least, if not earlier. it's the most high effort since 2017-18 for sure. it's very good right now. seems like stav really was just a huge loving drag

its seeming like the studio and video poo poo is for real and not just a bit too, so that's exciting. silly on it's face as TAFS is it's honestly the pivot that makes the most sense. rebrand as something you can actually advertise that doesn't have Cum in the name, then build off what you already have and use it do whatever else you want to do in comedy. do sketches, film your own specials, whatever

don't just blow it all up and go back to being a road comic or whatever the plan was before

nick as writer/producer/dj on a show with Adam as his kind of puppeteered host is such a hilarious and perfect role for him too. it's kind of a brilliant idea, and if it bombs and they lose all their money and it's such a funny way to do it

they actually wrote jokes in advance which means its probably the most effort its ever been.

true, I guess most high energy since 2018 would've been more accurate. the most fully awake and On Nick has sounded for full, consecutive episodes

Thanks guys- this poo poo is very funny. Heard the bit about Sebastian wanting to gently caress Ariel and am trying to catch up on greatest hits.

Edit: i spelled the liitle mermaid's name wrong

ever since the vietcong kind of hosed up the ease of finding the classic bits on YT i keep meaning to put together a classic playlist and host it somewhere off YT, idk maybe dailymotion or some dumb poo poo

its at the bottom of my to do list but im gonna do it

im torn on the one hand I don't really give a gently caress about stav on the other hand its kind of fun and feels like the fanbase's logical next step for us to have an ex-cohost who we all poo poo on now. like that's part of the growing process, it seems disingenuous to ignore it

in truth we follow our host and friend, Adam Friedland, so whatever he says I'll go with

i think it's weird that everyone's suddenly making GBS threads on him as if they always hated him, but never said anything while he was on the show, so for that reason i think it's stupid. however, i do encourage everyone to report on what nick passive aggressively says about him in each episode.

i mean I think before everybody assumed they all hated the show and were tired of doing it, so nobody really blamed stav in particular for being a drag. but obviously when the one guy leaves and the new show is dramatically better and it seems like the problem was actually just him it's going to color peoples perspective

lmao that Jim and Sam appearance was prime. nick really is just deep in the zone right now. also very funny to immediately revert to bullying Adam

Mandrel
Sep 24, 2006

yeah nick was always nice to adam when it was just the two of them, he just reverts to bullying him and adam reverts to playing up his subservient incompetence to comical levels when there's more people, particularly louder comics in the dynamic. like on jim and sam they pretty quickly went into the old dynamic of adam basically throwing lobs for everybody to dunk on him. they have a really good chemistry with one another where they switch it on and off and nick is right that adam does have just an unflappable constitution to be able to prostrate himself completely on a dime for comedic sake. and obviously that they're best friends irl helps, you can tell they really love each other

it was very funny on matt and shane to see shane's pathological bully instincts just chomping at the bit to go at adam but him being not exactly sure if it fit with the new "Adam's the Star" bit the boys were trying to do with TAFS, and it ended up with adam kind of bullying shane lmao

whoever stav pays to do his algorithm poo poo is definitely good at their job. not only does searching cumtown result in the top poo poo being a million clips of stav standup and stav on other podcasts, but even searching like, "nick mullen" gets you the same thing

very dishonorable

and honestly if he thought cumtown fans were bad, he is not prepared for like, a non-cumtown fanbase

Mandrel
Sep 24, 2006

yeah like in terms of fanbases cumtown is probably on average pretty easy to deal with relative to most. like your worst fringe cases are the really pathetic openly parasocial dweebs and the outright nazis, and those don't make up that much of the fanbase compared to your average internet thing where they usually make up collectively like, the whole group.

stav is going to get wrecked by an audience that doesn't even bother keeping up any pretense of ironic distance about their interactions with him

to be honest that's probably the biggest thing that will keep me from ever actually following through on the bit. i could barely manage it growing up there's no way I could do it now. maybe I'll just do what everybody else does and make my kids go since they'll be awake/waking me up anyway. pretend I've been going all along. that's the move

Jesus gently caress If this is true Adam and stav got loving fleeced I would 100% leave like stav did at the first opportunity

I would be loving furious if 10% of my money went to a bipolar insane person who’s can hit the ‘record’ button on audacity.

lol why would stav and Adam ever get an even split with Nick. aside from the obvious point that he was basically the whole show and stav could literally be replaced by a soundboard, Nick did all the editing, uploading, business poo poo, handled the sponsors, trips, everything. all stav and Adam did was show up for 2 hours a week

edit: like lmao for real, you'd 100% leave 25k/month for 2 hrs of sitting and talking about lunch a week. you'd be fuckin furious

in retrospect it's funny how much people would dog Adam in comments sections like they could do his job, as though they could ever have the pure strength of will it requires to maintain that feckless loser character, taking abuse for years on end, showing up every week and putting in the work

if anything it's stav who basically any of us could do his job. just hang out, call stuff gay, get fatter, laugh at Nick. ive been doing that for free basically already

I'm really interested in how next month goes. Because it seems like they hit their ceiling at least in part

July month was just insane with everyone celebrating a bright Stav-less future, August was climbing like crazy but seems like halfway through it hit an asymptote. The weird bump at the end of the month (before the predictable 1st of the month drop) probably means whenever they actually release one of the "high effort" videos they'll get newer people willing to donate. It's definitely gonna get weirder / less predictable I feel like.

And yes, I'm gay for liking graphs/statistics this much

i think in general nicks got to get off the road and go back to promoting the show on other podcasts and working on it full time
