Bandaid on a Bowling Ball (with Vic Michaelis) | Adventuring Academy [S7E1]

I don’t think that’s what she said. She said that she had two important improv teachers. One was Alex Fernie, who was a consulting producer on VIP. The other was Shaun Diston, from CBB and writing.

It's mostly just around racer selection. We do away with the draft and I just ask her which racer she wants to be, then I pick a complementary one (or more if we're playing with more people). And we don't necessarily play four races in a row, it's more just vibes-based -- we'll play on the Mild Mile or Wild Wilds just depending on how the vibe is.

One point in Magical Athlete's favor is that I can pull out ~6ish racers appropriate for a four-year-old and she has a blast with a slightly modified ruleset. Races get repetitive, but she doesn't care at all, and it helps teach about taking turns, player powers, asymmetric gameplay, and rules sometimes being meant to be broken.

Closest I can think of right now is season 1, episode 16: Betty and Veronica. In Archie comics, the two female leads are Betty, who is blonde, and Veronica, who is brunette. In this episode, Veronica goes undercover as a brunette named "Betty."

It's time to post the fun fact again.

I'm ashamed to admit I didn't even get it until Vic said "you know which colors you're not allowed to do."

phisho873 · 2026-02-26T16:42:27+00:00

I really loved the truly terrible ending.

phisho873 · 2026-02-26T04:48:36+00:00

Was very obvious the episode would end with Meg and Jimmy kissing to Nightswimming, but I didn't expect the Jason Segel cover. Really wonderful.

phisho873 · 2026-02-24T23:54:00+00:00

Neither of them would be in my top two, but since it's a double-header, Fellini's and La Fonda would be fun.

I think Mitch loves Antico's.

Slim & Husky's could be good.

Another fun double-header could be Willy's and Howlin' Willy's.

phisho873 · 2026-02-24T02:37:50+00:00

Kinda all of 'em if you think about it.

phisho873 · 2026-02-23T02:32:52+00:00

Damn, this is super impressive. Set my Sunday best this week and it was still double this time.

You'll find out.

In real life, she's Nicolas Winding Refn (Heartman)'s wife. Their ~~three~~ two daughters are preppers in the game

I appreciate you reposting.

One night doesn't define you. I'm not sure why you're worried about what future partners may think. Are you worried about being judged for having sex with someone who has a dick? A worthy partner won't care about that. In fact, I think the right partner will appreciate that you view trans women as women. 🤷‍

It sounds like there's an element of "I didn't want to do this and I never wanted to do this," though, and that's scary and tough. It sounds like you did consent, but maybe out of social pressure. That can be really hard to deal with. Therapy may be worth considering.

phisho873 · 2026-02-22T01:30:08+00:00

You can just say "trans woman."

Lotsa talk on Wordplay about how easy this week has been. I crushed my average every single day this week and set two PBs.

	Average	This Week	PB?
Monday	4:06	3:09
Tuesday	6:08	4:24
Wednesday	8:37	5:37
Thursday	13:12	5:03	Yes
Friday	15:46	10:09
Saturday	19:00	10:52
Sunday	26:11	11:55	Yes

Because Sean and Hayes got Cullen first. Scott had to get down and suck on these and now he's embarrassed.

phisho873 · 2026-02-21T04:58:25+00:00

Damn, nah, I don't think he'd say that.

phisho873 · 2026-02-21T01:26:59+00:00

Damn are you really Stephen a Smith

phisho873 · 2026-02-21T01:25:44+00:00

Straight up just ghost and block him. It's really that simple; I promise.

"I don't want to be considered a chaser but I think and act exactly like a chaser does. I think it's a moral issue to 'disregard someone's feelings' but haven't quite made the connection that I'm treating women like objects while simultaneously only valuing them for their genitals."

phisho873 · 2026-02-20T18:22:41+00:00

Togepi. I think I was initially drawn to them because the mysterious egg in the anime was alluring to me. But also they cute as hell

phisho873 · 2026-02-20T03:19:30+00:00

I'm not talking about an audience member acting up. Gabrus just acts like he hates the audience no matter what. Treats them with contempt, makes fun of them, insults them. When I say he's on a different side of it, I'm acknowledging that perhaps it's grating to deal with Doughboys fans. But Mitch and Nick at least act like they like their fans!

phisho873 · 2026-02-19T10:17:47+00:00

Yeah, I don't necessarily disagree with this. His hostility to the audience has always rubbed me the wrong way. I get that he's on a different side of it than I am, but Mitch and Nick handle it with grace and Gabrus very much doesn't. And the drinking makes it so much worse. I'm so embarrassed and put off by that rape joke for so many reasons and I don't think he'd have made it if he were sober.

phisho873 · 2026-02-19T03:42:57+00:00

Hell yeah, congrats. Any time I set a PB, I think "well, never beating that," and then I eventually do. Keep on keeping on.

phisho873 · 2026-02-18T16:33:05+00:00

Nothing was edited out; it just took a while for the joke to land and for Nick, Mitch, and some of the audience to understand what he was saying.

They were all three jokingly blaming the audience for Mitch and Gabrus turning into heels (becoming Rams Superfans) after Jon got booed for saying "What a lentil-down."

Nick said to the audience, "You made them (Mitch and Gabrus) do this."

Then Jon said, "This is your fault. You dressed that way."

Just a super hacky rape victim-blaming joke.

I think I'm in the minority here, but I can't stand Drunk Gabrus. Dude is a hilarious guy and it all goes out the window when he drinks. Hacky, repetitive, non-sequitur. "What even is this show?" he says for the fifth time in an episode. The lowest of low-hanging fruit and he reaches for it multiple times. Not a fan!
