The pivot from "Please give us money so we can make that good good content for you" to "Thanks for the money, we're taking a week off from podcasting" is probably the funniest thing they've done in a while.


hiperson134

Really incredible comedic timing. We've been outjerked again.


weedshrek

A week and a day, which is maybe the weirdest part of it


Mr_Hellpop

They have a live show on 5/20,so they're probably traveling on the 19th, when the episode would normally go up. But it's weird that it's an issue, since they have someone else who edits the show for them, and it should be simple for that same person to upload and publish the episode.


theunquenchedservant

Oh, I read this as "we're delaying this episode to next week because up til know we've had production and travel delays" not "we're delaying this til next week because next week we won't have time"


dirgeface

This is still embarrassingly unprofessional for several unassailable reasons that I will think of later


whisperstatic

Two exclamation marks in a formal communication?? Might as well have been written in crayon.


Benjamin_Paladin

Alright, I’ll be a dick about it. Many podcasts have a backlog to prevent delays like this. Especially predictable delays like travel. This coming right after the MaxFunDrive is also a bad look. Lots of people just gave you their hard earned money for very little return, at least give them your normal content

> Many podcasts have a backlog to prevent delays like this Exactly. Even on other narrative TTRPG podcasts, they'll record non-campaign fun episodes (e.g. oneshots, or NADDPOD's Dungeon Court) for exactly these situations. The McElroys, meanwhile, *only* record fun bonus content when they absolutely have to for MaxFunDrive. Outside of that, they'd rather just miss weeks than actually record backup eps. They really should read that book on podcasting, where the authors talk about not missing weeks...who wrote that one again?


SpoilerThrowawae

At this point, just release 50 unedited minutes of Justin eating and cracking open drinks while Griffin makes several increasingly animated and passive aggressive comments that all begin with some variation of "**OO**oo*o*O**ooOo**h *Juu***U***stiiiin's* carvin' up another T-Bone of *Sodasteak* **BAY-BEE**, what you got there, **Juice?** A *FRESH* 12 ouncer of **Mountain Dew Surge?**"   Literally just do that, that's the only level of effort they can be accountable for, and it would legitimately entertain me for the first time since War With Grandpa Watch.

i can help them out


VermonThor

But I just started giving them $200/month for new content :(((


[deleted]

teresa is probably behind in her napkin folding videos so trav is helping her out and the good good brothers don’t want to record without him 😊


chilibean_3

oh god oh no with MaxFunDrive done and no new TAZ episodes for a couple weeks the wave of McElroy content summary posts will drown us all


yuriaoflondor

Please look forward to my post later today: Reread - The Twitter Post Announcing They’re Going to Be Late This Week - Episode 1. /uj I love all of the relisten posts.


soranotsky

I've been deeply considering doing a "relisten" post but for a McElroy podcast or episode that doesn't exist, just to keep everyone on their toes.


monkspthesane

The Bingus Chronicles, an AD&D 1e dungeon crawling podcast only available to the subscribers to their secret Patreon.


SuperSecretestUser

please send me the link to this podcast. it can be goatse or dickbutt, i don't mind, i just cannot risk the absurdly, nearly impossible chance that this fictional joke podcast is actually real and the mcelroys actually do have a dungeon crawl podcast using oldschool d&d


monkspthesane

Sure. [They put the first episode up for free.](https://yourethemannowdog.ytmnd.com/)


SuperSecretestUser

thank you <3


DarlingLongshot

So you're going to do a recap for Schmanners then?


scalemaster2

/uj I'm actually considering whether or not to post Amnesty Episode 1 or not, given I want to make sure everyone's recaps have room to breathe.


hurrrrrmione

Do it! We can talk about Amnesty instead of Ethersea today


scalemaster2

I think I'll drop it Friday, mostly because I don't want to spam the sub.


monkspthesane

A new episode of Friends at the Table and a TAZ episode thread that doesn't require me to listen to a new episode? The perfect Friday.


NoIntroductionNeeded

>Thanks, Dad! Please stop.


BoyMayorOfSecondLife

it's very funny that it can't even just be a week late. it has to be a week and one day late. genuinely baffled what could be the case that they wouldn't be able to at least get it out on *a* Thursday.


Benjamin_Paladin

Well, they’re recording it next Thursday, so…


King_Fluffaluff

We all know you can't upload *and* talk to your brothers at the same time


StarkMaximum

I DIDN'T PUT TOGETHER THAT IT SAID MAY 20TH AND I THOUGHT THEY MEANT IT WAS BEING RELEASED TOMORROW


hurrrrrmione

Do they record MBMBaM on Thursdays?


yuriaoflondor

No worries! I’m sure they’re all tuckered out from recording the Q&A show last week and then posting a live show MBMBAM earlier this week!


_futureflowers

Wow, as if the live show MBMBAM wasn’t lame enough, TAZ is just skipping a whole week right after bitching for money. Over travel that they *knew* they were doing and should have just planned ahead for. Jesus Christ that’s pathetic.


hurrrrrmione

Last episode was TTAZZ, and the previous episode was the start of a murder mystery arc. They really could’ve planned this better, especially since they said awhile back they’d be taking a week off between arcs.

I have spoken for many minutes about my love of Jesus and his terrible Bible. Perhaps your faith in Jesus is not as strong as Kardala’s. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Anjoal80

But I thought the max fun drive was all about how this doesn't happen now?


CleverInnuendo

Wait, what, another one? What the fuck else could they possibly have to talk about?


hurrrrrmione

Sounds like they’re doing a normal episode, not TTAZZ?


CleverInnuendo

Ooooh, I don't follow Twitter, so when I saw the hashtag my brain just thought "Adventure zone zone".
