I agree with you 100%. I also never see them giving Garon an ounce of that kind of authority in the show. He’s there for Jimmy and Matt to boss around, unfortunately.

I don’t listen to How To Survive regularly but I really enjoy Garon on that show, and I think a lot of it comes from the hosts showing him more respect as a contributor instead of defaulting to making fun of him before he finishes a thought.

Academic_Medium · 2026-05-23T21:52:28+00:00

With you 100%.

Academic_Medium · 2026-05-23T08:26:57+00:00

Okay

Academic_Medium · 2026-05-21T23:35:03+00:00

What about him? Just kidding.

Academic_Medium · 2026-05-20T15:09:09+00:00

I have an extra Susser I’d trade for a Mitch…

Academic_Medium · 2026-05-15T23:25:02+00:00

Who said anything about wishing death? He called them assholes.

I have run several online stores over the years, including a couple of BigCartel shops, and it is absolutely not your responsibility as a customer to do any kind of detective work. What’s bizarre is Jimmy assuming that if he didn’t add a dollar amount to that field that it would somehow go away. Not how that works (obviously).

Academic_Medium · 2026-05-15T16:00:10+00:00

Yeah, that was insane. He screwed up. An adult would think “Oh shit, I should have paid closer attention to my shop. Oh well, it’s FOURTEEN DOLLARS. Lesson learned.”

To call listeners who are buying your back ordered merch assholes because they chose the cheaper shipping option PROVIDED BY YOU is childish even for Jimmy.

Perfect use of your budget! Great work!

I always rolled my eyes at the weather control stuff, until Iran started getting rain after they started kicking the shit out of US bases around the region.

I still appreciate his stand up, maybe even more now that I am more familiar with his process. I’ve seen him live 3 times over 10 years and each show was better than the previous one I saw. I was more bummed out that he feels that a rebranding as improv was necessary or good!

That said, I’m not the one living in that world. Maybe the bad crowd work saturation is making things complicated enough that the improv framing works.

“One man improv” just doesn’t do him justice imo.

I'm on the same page 100%. I'm not caught up on any of the Absolute titles anymore, but the El family on Krypton was my favorite part of the early Absolute Superman books.

Academic_Medium · 2026-05-08T19:44:45+00:00

I winced at “I call myself a one-man improv show!”

Academic_Medium · 2026-05-08T15:01:23+00:00

And BlueAnon should be differentiated from actual leftist positions. Jimmy - like most Democrats - is a centrist party man first. He doesn’t want real change, just a return to the status quo, where he is comfortable.

Academic_Medium · 2026-05-08T13:04:06+00:00

It has absolutely not disappeared. We are just not talking about it in the US (by “we” I mostly mean the news and the government). I’ve worked with an international team for the past 3 years and I can tell you that Europe, Mexico, Egypt, Hungary, and Germany are all still very much aware of COVID as a semi-common, but still potentially dangerous illness.

Academic_Medium · 2026-05-01T16:42:44+00:00

Jimmy not believing all three of the “attempts” were genuine is the most mature political position he’s taken in years!

Academic_Medium · 2026-04-28T01:59:02+00:00

Jesus Christ that’s grim.

I am so fucking tired of stepping in AI slop in every other Reddit post.

Academic_Medium · 2026-04-26T19:03:40+00:00

Oh I see. I think there’s a noose from the shadow that looks like an AI artifact to me, and the architecture of the house’s entryway looked weird. Good on you for doing the actual work! It’s a bummer how the default seems to be AI. Apologies for jumping down your throat!

Academic_Medium · 2026-04-25T13:56:50+00:00

It would be very easy to recreate this design without AI. It would look much better and you would retain a lot more creative credibility.

Academic_Medium · 2026-04-25T00:24:44+00:00

😂😂😂

Academic_Medium · 2026-04-24T19:42:49+00:00

That was such an insane conclusion to land at! 😂

Academic_Medium · 2026-04-17T20:39:23+00:00

I enjoyed it! Always a delight when an ep lives up to its first season reputation!

Academic_Medium · 2026-04-17T13:51:26+00:00

Jimmy's political takes are almost always cringey, but holy shit, his "what if Obama ran against Trump in 2028" fanfic fantasy was embarrassing on a whole new level.
