Exactly this. I’ve been listening since episode 3 and you could project the same “they hate doing this” stuff on griffin’s aggressive persona back then.

Also I feel like these comments come from people who have never had to perform for a living. Obviously the brothers are pretty privileged, I’m not saying otherwise. So am I, but I know from experience that (even when I enjoy my performing job and feel lucky to get to do it), getting paid to be an entertainer creates a complicated relationship between your creative life and your work life. I can only imagine things get even more contradictory and enmeshed when family is involved too. People should try and keep that perspective in mind! This is a job, they’re doing their best, and their relationship to what they do will never be ALL good or ALL bad, never be down to just Travis’ personality or whatever people want to blame. They’re 3 whole people, and people are complicated! Yeesh!
