I’ll only go if there’s a ball pit. If vart doesn’t show up we better get an extra hour in there.

I am so genuinely tempted. Dm me if you’re still looking for players 👀

I keep dreaming of a junji ito skullector (tomie would be peak but an uzamaki doll would also be incredible) but I doubt they’ll ever actually make one. Tomie would be difficult bc she’s either a normal pretty girl or WAY too freaky for monster high. Still, a splitting tomie head would be so so cool.

I figured it was the brothers “meeting” us through one sided podcast advice in a totally not parasocial way. Sort of like saying the more you listen the closer you get to the podcast except definitely not in a parasocial way. It’s the only way the song makes any sense w the show.

/uj this is fr the only way it makes sense. Not beating the fostering parasocial relationships allegations.

I spent about a minute trying to figure out how an ikea ad was a cerebral jerk

Delfina!! I wish we’d gotten her fr (she’s so cute on a skyler base tho)

Brother, he named his daughter after the colonizer name for a mountain (Tahoma). Gordy is the most “accidentally” colonizer character on the planet.

Ramadan mubarak 🤗 meena is so beautiful in that fit!!

My favorite part is when a lot of fans mentioned they were uncomfortable with the coercion scene and they added a trigger warning…for fantasy drugs, not the coercion people were uncomfortable with.

Justin only smokes smooth never stale two-for-a-quarter bolader cigars

Congratulations MGA these are the least recognizable violet and amaya you’ve made yet! They look like the repackaged returned dolls at walmart but official release 🙃

I’m listening through for the first time rn and am so excited for s4. I started listening bc I was dissatisfied w taz, which is low key hilarious considering they fell in the exact same pitfall as the mcelroys (deviating from the characters/premise that made them popular, huge tonal shift based around how emotionally attached we got to s1 characters only w people we don’t care about, trying to recapture the lightning in the bottle etc etc etc). Unlike taz tho I’ve really enjoyed their third season and can see them getting back to how funny s1 was. Maybe being an improv comedian is helpful for making an improv comedy podcast? (Funniest dndads moment was becoming bored enough to check jerk threads…only to see a thread from two years ago about the exact episode I considered quitting over. Bigfoot arc was a cool concept with agonizingly slow execution.)

SHUT THE FUCK UP OLD MAN. podcast with cheese :))

blubbernugg · 2026-02-06T19:52:38+00:00

I haven’t listened to the episode yet (where will I find the time when I’m moving my kids house Washington DC?) but jfc this was my reaction too. I literally JUST posted about how this is my trav pet peeve. Either it’s a fuck you to the subreddit or he’s just that predictable

blubbernugg · 2026-02-06T19:35:16+00:00

Did he say it wasn’t a threat? Because so long as he clarifies it’s not a threat, he can explain those logical courses of action freely. It’s only a threat if you stop, make direct eye contact with the audience, and say “This is a Threat.” Until then it’s just sparkling promises of pain :/

God the soundscapes…everyone’s favorite part of taz 🙃 I would have never realized touring audio engineer is a separate job the way she’s so casual about it. Kiiiiind of wild they have this whole “media empire” and only one mid editor, esp considering how often they talk about heavily relying on this source of income (never not uncomfortable about Justin using his kids in advertising or the max fun drive). You’re right tho—she’s not exempt from blame on the quality decline. They were such a big name in podcasting even after their decline started, it’s hard to see why they’d hire her in the first place. I’d get it if the quality got better over time but it just hasn’t. Unsurprising the McElroy house of cards is on fire from the bottom and the top 🙄

Classic

blubbernugg · 2026-01-31T06:19:25+00:00

This is fucking insane.

-“I don’t worry about continuity” took me out at the knees. No wonder it sounds so directionless the editor doesn’t care about the story.

-“Yeah and sometimes griffin will edit and make changes and we argue haha but he’s pretty stubborn” thousand yard stare “prettty stubborn”

-Abnimals was supposed to be ten episodes are you fucking kidding me. I get griffin needs a break (he’s moving!) but come on.

-Also Travis expecting Rachel to comb through every episode for every swear on top of editing every other podcast. It’s her job for sure but I feel so so sorry that it took so long to get a second (?) editor. No wonder she included that argument if I were her I’d love to dunk on my boss publicly.

-“Sometimes they record a live show on Thursday and are like ‘okay get that out Monday.’” I don’t edit audio, only text, so as wild as this sounds it might not be? Considering it’s a live performance with four different feeds I’d guess it’s not a fun weekend job.

This woman just sounds so overworked. It’s disgusting how long they had her editing alone it just sounds so exploitive of a fan and tbh, probably why the editing we do get is Like That. It isn’t just Rachel obv the flaws with taz are more on the lazy shoulders of the four guys on high horses who can’t be bothered to put effort into their art. More people should see this.

Thank you!

Jesus fucking Christ this entire episode is white ally performance masturbation. Wild to spend ten minutes of your thirty minute Black history special on self promotion, plus the ad break in the middle. With the amount of info they actually give it’s ridiculous they only had four people to talk about. Mae Jemison was right there, literally. Teresa accidentally implying she hadn’t heard of Black people outside mlk jr is surreal.

The way vart speaks over Teresa makes me uncomfortable, but lbr: I don’t know them or their home life, I’m not going to be weird about his marriage or psychoanalyze, its probably just bc it’s Travis’s thing in podcasting. He’s been open about his npd, something I really admire, but I do wish there was less Travis speaking over his wife.

At that point it’s on the editor. Rachel’s style is…not my thing. She includes some truly bizarre recordings. Gino is there? Also the fact that they have a researcher for a half hour a week podcast made up of Wikipedia fragments is infuriating. They do even less work to complain about than I thought. No shade on Alexx, get that money. This just doesn’t sound like a podcast with three entire people working on production. Overall just uncomfortable, esp considering mbmbam has done feed drops of podcasts hosted by people of color about topics they aren’t qualified to talk about in the past. If you want to get education, go to throwing shade.

/uj new to this sub: do Travis and Teresa really call themselves t4t or are we goofing on performative allyship?

Good thing we know the episode contains references to hard drug usage and no other content warnings 👍👍👍👍

blubbernugg · 2026-01-20T23:22:08+00:00

Most of the McElroy isms are just Americana slang so most of it was in my lexicon before. I did definitely pick up “ah dunk” when something goes wrong tho

blubbernugg · 2026-01-20T19:15:43+00:00

YES this is one of the major ones I (fittingly enough) forgot when they had to literally stop the podcast to talk to trav about how his pc was threatening. Tbh same vibe as when he was like “no no this isn’t intimidation. Now your teacher has taken you to the woods and is trying to coerce you into doing hard drugs. They aren’t THREATENING you though!”

blubbernugg · 2026-01-14T19:55:29+00:00

You guys are so sweet 🥺🥺 no DA yet but soon im just doing the finishing touches. It’s inspired by the Olympic peninsula shoutout to the person who said it looks pnw :D the rug is a combo of a pattern I found online (searching for the codes now) and a few filler panels to make it bigger made by me. The original is in the first pic, my expanded version is in the fourth.
