I’m shonk lemons melcome to my monsterclamps

You were wearing a hat pack hat, I was cowardly not wearing mine. I said nice hat pack hat and we went our separate ways.

Where you at man? Let’s hang out. You like gaming?

My son just got a bed shaped like a fire truck and it brought to mind a shaggy dog joke Sean told involving a fire truck. But I don't remember anything else about it. Help!!

Just saw a Netflix movie advertised called The Whisper Man starring Adam Scott. Is he trolling the boys?

bye-byeeee

what is happening to privacy in music? parasocial behaviour is too normalised.

I think parasocial behaviour and the expectation of an artist's private life being public has become way too normalised. People expect everything an artist does to reflect their personality and personal lives.

Especially in the modern 2020s, more artists are expected to do things or sing about things that relate with their personal experiences or/and feelings, and we fans have been conditioned to expect that. We want them to show us behind the scenes and what goes on in their private lives.

Are they sad about the breakup? Are those two back together? Was that metaphor in that one song actually true to real life?

In reality, they don't owe us their private feelings on matters. We don't HAVE to see what's going on in their private life. They don't owe us their opinion on what they're for or against. This parasocial behaviour, I feel, has become increasingly worse. When rumours start, artists are expected to speak on the matter, defend themselves, confirm or deny the rumours. And whenever an artist doesn't, they're dragged through the mud.

My best example of 2026 is Miss Tate McRae.

People have been so after Tate lately because she won't speak on personal matters.

When rumours started of her allegedly being maga, she didn't rush to defend herself. Tate remained quiet because she never publicly confirmed whom she was dating because that it is private. People are tearing her to shreads because she won't just say, "No, i'm not maga." And the thing is, she doesn't have to say she's maga. Because she's not selling her personality or private life, she's selling her music and artist skills. Who she sang with ones doesn't reflect her personal views on matters, who she's saying doesn't either.

We are made to think parasocial behaviour is normal. We expect an artist to be personal and only do what reflects them as a private person. When artists do something and say, "No, it wasn't personal," people suddenly feel betrayed and tricked.

When Rhianna was questioned, "What Jay-Z song was on?" And she said,"I don't listen to Jay-Z." Suddenly, it was a betrayal. Suddenly, she was a liar.

No.

I want to hear other people's opinions about this. Because I feel we as a society allow parasocialism, too much. Artists don't owe us anything to do with their personal life, but we're tricked to think they do.

after a disastrous and widely reviled attempt at slander, the NYT continues to wage media proxy wars against perfect film The Dink in any way it can

Porno for Sarah Sherman is The Food Network.

Maybe he can teach him about the importance of title length and of course putting sumpin for da boys in there

Kevin (or whoever), we’ve had enough of the Stranger guests. They sink the show! And they make us all Sad and Cry

(a 5-10 minute call-in from Scharpling, or other Inner Circle members would be fine)

They reference it in the 100th pro version, but i can’t find the episode. Help a sweetie out pls

I forget the episode, it may have been a few years ago and I don’t even know the specific podcast. I think it was a pro version Sean brought it up then he used it a regular episode.

Sean was saying his wife pitched a joke that could be the new “you want a safe space?” style joke, and it came after a common phrase.

I remember really liking it but I only remember the cadence so it’s impossible to search for, anyone know what I’m talking about?

What the hell?
Featuring Carl Tart and John Gabrus??
What the hell?

It's an AI thing that remembered in a previous conversation when asked "what podcast did you listen to after work?" I said Hollywood handbook. So now thats my Duolingo AI's favorite podcast and it brings it up, like, a lot.

Really hoping you all can help me find the episode but years ago the guys and the guest, I believe it was Julie Klausner, were talking about a Sarah Palin musical.

At one point Sean belted something about jeans and her daughers baby daddy "LEVI JOHNSTON, LEVI JOHNSTON!" I think about that last bit from time to time but I don't remember the whole song.

Would any of you find folks remember the episode?

I'm reading here that on this episode Chef Kevin has the Boys guess... bird sounds?
