Episode 200b: Retrospective | Part 2

[Dawnswalker]

I'm in a good mood today, so this episode didn't fix my life, but it was still funny.!

I imagine the containment gazebo for the ball of twine as a form of truce in the ongoing "My Giant Ball of Twine is an Important Piece of Art" vs. "I Don't Want That Thing in the House" war. And whenever Lemon forces suggests that ridiculists go to see it, he basically kicks off another Cuban Missile Crisis.

But most of all, I've enjoyed the stories of how you all got together, and how the F Plus means things to you besides just "EW GROSS LOOK AT THIIIIIIIS" every week. (I'd better get to work on that doc I want to submit.)

Help, ever since listening to this, I've had Kumquat's "FREE PETTING ZOO!!!" reverberating in my head.

Also, if someone wished a site/forum dedicated to turd condoms into existence, would you make an episode about it?

No. And now I blame you for that submission.

You misunderstood.  It was Bumpgrrl and me that established the Twine caBal and directed the pilgrimage, in fact arriving a day early in order to have time to make the trip.  We were the ones who were so very excited that the Twine Ball Inn is a real place.  Lemon was the one who hates fun.

That's some old-school tf2 action.

Wait if we are ressurrecting tf2 is THE LEMON PARTY going to be resurrected too?!

In the episode Lemon's really downplaying how much fun he had at the twine ball. He specifically ran up to me (as much as one could in that cramped "museum"), giggling out "there's a newspaper article on the wall about how the postman was fat 8DDDD" and insisting that I see it immediately.

ADMIT IT YOUR HEART GREW THREE SIZES AND WAS WRAPPED IN TWINE THAT DAY, YOU BIG OL' SOFTIE ^______^

Listening to this reminded me I paid real american dollars to have this forum account that I haven't used in years.

I was a lurker on SA for years but never posted out of fear of being banned or being harassed. This place is much better.

I TOTALLY FORGOT THAT EARWOLF PODCAST COMPETITION EVEN HAPPENED

boy that was a real wet fart of a thing, huh?

I hesitate to remind everyone of the Earwolf Challenge but I'd like to remind folks that the winners of that competition were already a semi-pro podcast based out of Los Angeles who could do things like get Patton Oswalt on as a guest—which they did for one of their entries—so yeah, it was a competition on paper, but it really wasn't in practice.

Essentially it was the podcast version of this

That, and also IIRC they structured it in a way that made a lot more sense for judging a "traditional" Earwolf show (assumed recurring segments, interviews, guests, etc.) and they had revolving guest judges who either needed the F Plus concept explained to them and/or were straight up not into it. I also feel like Matt Besser was a colossal douche, but that might just be an uncharitable read of his personality.

Oh well, at least it got us Bozarth.

The podcasts felt like they were being judged more on their marketability than their quality or humor, I'd say. Not that The F Plus is the funniest thing ever (that goes to fat people falling down), but I'm certain being based out of LA gave them a huge advantage, which is why I mentioned it. From their perspective, it makes sense—the winner would be making money for Earwolf. I'm just not buying the premise.

So, I DM a DnD game, and I Lady'd my players. I have a music playlist for battles, and I snuck "Twerk" in there. As soon as it came up, I went dead silent (mid sentence,) stared straight ahead, and let the song play in its entirety.

We're still waiting on that TF2 server, Boots.

[Boots Raingear]

I haven't finished setting it up because all of my weekends have been booked and I'll be damned if I'm letting you assholes start playing it without me. We're doing it next week.
