        That was my entire idea for a podcast. Thanks for shitting on my dream. I guess I’ll never start it now.

            Funny you should say that. I’m already a terrible musician. I’ve got a solo gig and a band gig this weekend. I just wanted the podcast to complete my middle aged white dude punch card because my cargo shorts just got here the other day.

          1. if a random comment on the internet is enough to destroy

          your dream

          then it was a weak and shitty dream. Get a new one.

          1. do it anyway. Who cares. You know what’s the worst that could happen? You try, and it doesn’t work out and then you can look back at it and consider it “gave it a good shot, didn’t work out”. And then you can point to all the people who still sit on their couch and didn’t even try.

          2. do it.

      Man, I know. Especially when they go off the actual topic and start talking about some random shit while cackling like a bunch of dumbasses.

      It’s a form of parasocial relationship. It can trigger the same feelings as if you were in a room with some friends chatting. You get to “know” the people’s personalities, you can anticipate their reactions to things, you get invested in their personal relationships.

      I listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me because I like to listen to the three brothers be funny at each other.

      Some people don’t need or want intellectually challenging media all the dang time.
