2024-02-19 05:27:23 +0000 UTCTom's roast of the exes was a masterpiece. It touched my soul because if gave words to feelings I could not express. Thank you.

2024-02-11 15:56:31 +0000 UTCHearing Eli call MatPat's work as "lore deep-dives" was an interesting characterisation. One of his most popular old style videos was an attempt to diagnose Mario with many and varied psychological disorders...

2024-02-02 07:29:52 +0000 UTCIt was kinda surreal to hear Eli talking about MatPat’s retirement from Game Theory. Two different worlds that felt very different suddenly feel so much closer. So, when are you guys having MatPat on GAM?

2024-02-02 04:42:09 +0000 UTCLast year, Cecil did a brilliant roast of my pet bunny, but sometimes I wish I requested the dock-sitting, soul-destroying Tom burn.

2024-02-01 21:49:57 +0000 UTCJust for anyone wondering, it’s Tom Scott, not Tom Coat as Eli said, and he’s only retiring 1 of his many channels because, as Tom has said, it was way too much work. It was a channel where he travels all over the world and showcases interesting places / things. He did not fully retire. It’s a good show btw, I think a lot of SA listeners would like it.

2024-02-01 18:00:13 +0000 UTCYa know, these are about the best things. -- at least, I laugh far more than I feel sick or rage. (I love this show, obviously, so parse that before jumping). What about taking some of the pressure off yourselves and, I dunno, just do the top VfC donors during november, and then some (large) percentage of the rest of the donors in a once-per- month-per-show segment? You'd have an automatic "makeup" session (Make up vulgarity?) just in case anyone fell off the list. You'd have a chance to encourage even more people to donate, because they'd have a better chance of hearing their roast, and I'd continue my somewhat unhealthy (but, I promise, under tight control) parasocial love for you all.
