/uj maybe MaxFunDrive post
Let me know if I’m falling into a pit of acid here, but I am the rare jerker who listens to other MaxFun shows, and one is JJGo. Close to twenty years ago when I was in grad school (bummers alert) my dad died, my life blew up, and I moved across the country. One of the stable little entertainment pieces was the silly bit of JJGo.
That was my bridge into the McElroys and into SPY. I am a passionate SPY fan and I think I like maybe 30% of the McElroy stuff I listen to now. Abnimals was Producers level brand suicide, Travis doing a British accent has to cost them negative dollars per time he does it, Justin’s active disdain for his entire life as an entertainer is infuriating.
All of this to say, this stuff still matters to me and I still donate. Is there a path out of this? Is it just Griffin moving and they all have kids forever? As I’ve hit 40 and become a parent the whole “we’re working very hard” business when mostly you’re complaining, briefly, about recording for 1% of your week shtick has started to make me really angry as a donor and Griffin does seem to care, but Travis is annoying and Justin, who was always my favorite, that whole “this is when I do my job” bit like man, have some grace.
