When you're finally brave enough to listen to Oneohtrix Point Never while high
My three girlfriends.
And yes, they smoke weed.
that’s really great man
Yeah that’s really cool, I wish I had three weed smoking girlfriends, I’m happy for you

still relistening to The Adventure Zone and something i can't stop thinking about is like. okay so the McElroys basically had a cult-like stranglehold on a pretty specific type of nerdy millennial in the mid-2010s (I was one of them) and listeners could support the show by paying for "jumbotron" messages that would get read out loud on the podcast during ad breaks. and a lot of these messages are from quirk chungus to jakey or whatever, couples, basically going "hi honey! i love you so much that i had our good good mcelboys say it! love you, goof! can't wait to listen to this episode together!", right. but these jumbotron submissions had a pretty considerable time-to-air due to production timelines and the size of a backlog. and so after the fifth or sixth one of these all i can think about is, like, surely and statistically at least one of these couples went through an absolutely grueling and nightmarish break-up in the time between submitting a paid ad read about how lovey-dovey they are and griffin actually reading it out loud. and like could you imagine going through that and then hearing one of these men read your old self's words back to you to an audience of thousands and then chuckle to himself and say "aw, so happy for you" while grief surges through your entire central nervous system. and then they go right back to bits and goofs. meanwhile, you are alone. the sun is setting. it's dark and it's getting cold. and you can use the promo code ZONECAST to save 15% on your first order of underwear from MeUndies
