Did You Reddit?

Happy one of the Koch brothers is dead day guys! He was a real piece of work that guy. Hate to see him go out the way he did, but as Reddit has said, he got to go out doing what he loved - watching the Amazon burn. This week we venture deep into the world of semantic achievement but exploring an English language museum on Reddit known as r/brandnewsentence, which appropriately profiles exactly that. Plus, u/myfreeday has the bravery to admit over our airwaves that he respects tap dancing, and u/dogboobes slips on a fig.

Well guys, Epstein is dead. Case closed, we got em. Everyone can go back to work now. YEAH RIGHT! You think for one second that we believe the Reptilian deep state over there in the basement of Comet Ping Pong didn't hire some graduates from CalArts to photoshop HELLary Clinton OUT of Epstein's death pictures? Guess again, DYR is on the case, with a two hour night pod energy episode. Plus, Capo dropped their cease & desist, so we're sipping tri-blend from here on out, and no fancy silicon valley lawyers can tell us otherwise.

We've finally managed to pry ourselves away from comedy subreddits by covering one of the most depressing subs we've done to date! That's not to say r/aboringdystopia isn't still an entertaining romp, because it definitely is, but it's also a clear indication of our continued society decline, only without all the cool black market exchanges and cyber vigilantes we'd all like to assume is part of our dystopian future. Instead, r/aboringdystopia is about insulin salesman, solar panels that double as billboards, and depleting reading levels. As an accidental testament the sub, u/dogboobes sings the Closet World jingle from memory (and nails it). This episode, obviously sponsored by Closet World.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

After three hard-earned episodes about comedy, we thought it was only appropriate to follow it up with another episode about Comedy. This week, we briefly get into a topic that quite frankly, we don't really know that much about, r/peterexplainsthejoke. However, it takes us almost the entire episode to even begin discussing it because u/itsyerdad had to recap is illustrative trip to Ohio with Rascal Flatts and his new stepdad-in-training Rick. With so much afternoon pod energy, we go through everything from $1.50 Hamms cans, to wholesome women's soccer memes, to u/itsyerdad's habitual threat of exterminating baby boomers, until we eventually discuss r/peterexplainsthejoke, which is largely an old meme that refuses to die.

In this, the final episode of our comedy triad, we discuss the art and craft of comedy memes, which is put on display at r/comedynecromancy, r/comedyhomicide, and the more delicious r/comedynecrophilia. While r/comedyheaven and r/comedycemetery are much more about curating and archiving this particular brand of comedy memes, these subs are about deconstructing the art of the meme by analyzing some of the tropes, trends, and habits that any good meme identifies with. This episode brought to you by the Gallagher school of comedy.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As the world slides deeper into the pit of unsustainability, technology-fueled discontent, and a general Mad Max-esque immediate future, the Internet tells the story of our existential angst with it all through Lovecraftian interpretations of Garfield. With more and more posts from r/imsorryjon making their way to Reddit's elite rankings on the front page, we thought it was high time we dig into this bizarre trend, which coincides perfectly with u/itsyerdad's spiraling anxiety-induced depression. We're all Jon in this scenario, and our self-inflicted demise is characterized in an increasingly horrifying Garfield, while our hopes and dreams for a better world filled with pre-extinct wildlife, a living wage, and vegan pizza that actually taste good is encapsulated by a pathetic and half-sentient Odie. Plus, u/itsyerdad has a new ad campaign for Starbucks, and the gang dreams of living on top of a Home Depot. This episode brought to you by Koch Industries.

Typically we don't double dip on pod topics, but with Game of Thrones continuing to spiral below the 50% on Rotten Tomatoes line, those who bend a knee to no man, r/freefolk, have spiritually recruited DYR North of the Wall. Or more accurately, there are just too many good front-page memes from r/freefolk for us to not talk about it, going into the final episode of the 2nd best fantasy franchise Hollywood export of all time. In the Redditsphere, there is more than one Game of Thrones specific sub, and at least a few are notably interesting. However, thanks to what some consider the worst episode in the entire 8 seasons of Game of Thrones, GoT meme-lords have steamed ahead of their contemporaries in the battle of Internet narratives. Plus, Darwinian evolution nudges the entirety of Alabama to have several less teeth than their American neighbors, u/dogboobes starts a new business, and u/itsyerdad loses his wallet live on the pod. This episode brought to you by the one ring to rule them all. See Privacy Policy

Welp guys, our liberal interpretation of the word "weekly" continues to stretch its already loose boundaries. Following a few weeks of u/dogboobes sleeping away her will to live, and u/myfreeday and u/itsyerdad trying to regional radio rock jock their way through 7am construction sounds, we're finally back to our "3/5, good but it's no serial" Internet podcast. This week, we do our Podcasters union-mandated conversation about GoT, then less than promptly get into r/MarkMyWords, a sub for all Internet Nostradami. Prompted initially by Dog's ongoing confusion of Sonic the Hedgehog, we dig into the meteoric rise of this sub, caused by a certain French cough Arson cough accident. Plus, the gang defends AOC's incredibly dweeby boyfriend. This episode brought to you by alarm clocks.

When we were recording this episode, Notre Dame was post-lit. It's a real tragedy how many social influencers will never get the chance to ever take a photo in front of the spire, so we decided that the best way to pay homage to lord's monument is to talk about the lord's sub, r/dankchristianmemes. This sub is in many ways, a direct cousin of r/wholesomememes - one of the friendliest places on the internet. Instead of it being a sub for those god-fearing christians, it's more for people who have had a passing relationship with christianity throughout their lives, maybe through their midwestern childhood, catholic school, or weirdly religious uncle. Every joke packs a punch of nostalgia, since nobody seems to be a christian anymore unless you're a babyboomer living in Orange County, or Justin Bieber. Also, u/dogboobes gets her ears piereced, u/itsyerdad reads the book of revelations, and u/myfreeday invites construction works to come work while we're podd'in.

It's that time of year again everyone - international Reddit Day, aka April Fool's Day, when every sub tries to make some sort of inside-baseball joke or statement designed to stoked the mouthbreathers on the other side. A few years ago, Reddit made r/place, and what would become one of the greatest social experiments of the digital age. This year, they created r/sequence, a third-season of True Detective-esque social experiment in r/place's shadow. Along with Reddit, a whole variety of other subs made inside jokes that we don't understand, and r/games makes international nerd-headlines by shutting the entire sub down to combat the caustic behavior of the sub's subscribers. Plus, u/myfreeday's mucous throat gives him a Robert Goulet Baritone voxbox, we give our hot take on the plight of pigeons, and we continue to use demo sound effects from our new mixer.

Crowd Clapping Sound You hear that? That's just a little preview of what kind of excellent pod sound effects you'll get to experience when u/itsyerdad hits random buttons on the brand new Ranch Dressing Studios mixer. After weeks of meth pods, we finally put that deep Capo Isetta podcast purse to use and bought a professional mixer that will hopefully solve at least a few of the issues that we seem to perpetually have, and right in time for u/dogboobes favorite sub too, r/letsnotmeet. Some may say it's Reddit's creepiest sub, dedicated to real-life stories of disturbing encounters. Our beloved dog boobes has been itching to do this one for at least 3 years, and we imagine it won't be the last time we cover it either. Also, we briefly discuss the Mueller investigation out of journalistic obligation to the Podcasting code of ethics, we discuss the organisms of 1930s actresses, and our subreddit gets a much needed redesign from u/kudosinc. The kudos are all yours my friend. This episode brought to you by edible

This week, u/myfreeday decides to give us a surprise on which topic we decided to cover. Incidentally, considering all the legal hogwash the world's been involved in this week, we talked about r/prisonreviews, a subreddit semi-dedicated to Yelp reviews of actual prisons. Sometimes brilliant satire on the state of our prison system, sometimes actual reviews from journeymen of the prison system, r/prisonreviews is an accidental dystopia that feels much closer to reality than it should. Plus, u/itsyerdad makes the case for being more of a bully to school shooters and terrorists, DYR tries to get to the bottom of why the British love a good wig, and we don't do meth once for the entire episode.

Well, this college admission scandal thing really makes us feel nice. Quite frankly, there's nothing we love more than watching rich white people get in trouble for being quintessentially rich and white. Which means that when we saw Felicity Huffman and that Mossimo guy get in trouble for hiring a full-grown adult to take their literally dumb kid's SAT test, we got pretty collectively aroused. And because we're now chasing the white pony of justice, we decided to dig into r/justiceporn this week. Plus, as a member of the highest echelon of college-educated salt-minters, u/myfreeday is uniquely qualified to tell us about the fight between America's vanguard and the proletariat. Plus, u/dogboobes cyberbullies us on the air, white supremacists continue to be the world's most purgeable humans, and the Rand Corporation continues to give us work.

After another meth-addled episode bites the dust, we're back. This time, we discuss one of the Internet's favorite ongoing daytime dramedies - Missed Connections. First made famous on CraigsList, Missed Connections is, of course, the home of all desperate romantics looking for their last chance to find that person whose passing glance left them feeling that their long-lost lover was seen in the Sears returns line. Or, more often than not, it's some guy named Carl looking for a Beej from a stranger near Pamona. Either way, it's a beautiful thing that deserves close examination, starting with r/missedconnections, and ending where all good things end, Fresno. Plus, we give our take on the newly disturbing Michael Jackson documentary Leaving Neverland, u/itsyerdad is a woodnymph for people who believe in crystals, and u/dogboobes tells us about the one time that Michael Jordan used her family solely to spite some other guy.
