If my teenage self could see me now, recording Bigfoot footage off the Internet for a living, he'd be amused, then disgusted, then amused, then depressed.

I host a show where famous people talk at length about their interests in order to put you to sleep. In this episode, I sometimes get overly excited about Bigfoot and producer @gabemara.bsky.social has to calm me down. Todd Stashwick? Awesome guy.

I want to be a plucky flapper im the 1920s out to solve a death ruled a suicide but only I suspect to be a murder.

One day, I will have achieved nirvana and then will I play Dark Souls.

I love organizing book clubs and movie clubs until I have to actually read or watch the damn thing.

I cried when Zoro called Luffy his best friend

My Lantern ring would be Disco because I am useless in the daytime, sparkly at night, and easily smashed for album art photography

Alana, we see you and respect you and we hope your wrath is never turned against us. Here's @gabemara.bsky.social and Buggy with the details of our admiration!

Grab a cold drink and learn all about Debi, compliments of (and from) @gabemara.bsky.social!

This one's for you, Jacob. Or maybe: "This one's for you, Big Guy"? We'll let @gabemara.bsky.social and Buggy decide.

We're still getting settled but wanted to give you a look at our new studio. Thanks to everyone who participated in our moving sale (closes today, so last chance: maximumfun.org/movingday)! We're so excited to have this nice space and as you can hear, hosts who record here are pumped about it, too!

Watching live performances of singers in the 70s and 80s are wild because they can just fuckin' sing, man. I was scarred when Michelle Branch's performance of Game of Love on TRL was not up to snuff. Sorry, Michelle.

office blessed by the homie Buggy (and his assistant, @gabemara.bsky.social)

When you work out of a cafe, no one can hear you sigh.

I wonder what the far-right thinks about Indiana Jones. One of our manliest man action adventure heroes punching Nazis into propeller blades, written and directed by Jewish men.

When I am in a pit, I will stay in bed for as long as I'm allowed to, sometimes for days. I get up only to feed and walk the dog, once again proving that my baby boi is more precious to me than life itself.

@gabemara.bsky.social is a producer here at MaxFun, and works on TV Chef Fantasy League and @sleepwithcelebs.bsky.social. And he has a message for Celia! If you'd like an overly-specific compliment from MaxFun staff, and help us with our move too, go to maximumfun.org/movingday and nab one for $10!

I'm creating a new super hero named Come On Man, but I can't decide if his power should be: 1. Encouraging others to do a thing 2. Reproaching others for a perceived failure 3. A third, vulgar thing

I have never watched an episode of 'Stranger Things' not for any moral or philosophical reason, but because every time I found myself at loose ends there was some other more interesting show to check out

I learned all my swag from Stefan Urquelle.

One of the benefits of being the dominant group is that there are no words that can meaningfully act as a slur against you. I propose that we start using "white guy" as a pejorative for condescending and entitled behavior. Ex: Todd, stop explaining the Godfather to her. Don't be such a white guy.

I run two separate cozy jazz and rainy ambient Youtube videos because the cozy jazz channels never have enough rain ambience and the rain ambience channels never have enough cozy jazz.

Hollow Knight is bland and boring and about bugs. Blasphemous is riddled with detailed and horrifying images of Spanish Catholicism and is about giant bloody heads n shit. And Touhou Luna Nights just straight up fucks. I will now take questions.

I stayed up half the night writing misery-porn porn-porn hentai manga Metamorphosis fanfic about how she turns her life around, gets an office manager job, and raises her sweet daughter with endless love and support because I believe that hope exists everywhere including in groady manga porn

Wow! Lying in bed in the dark in the thick of a depression while listening to Pink Floyd is almost like being drunk! Almost!

I want to buy a Chinese butcher knife to use for cooking and absolutely not for revenge against those who have sinned against my elders. Luckily for me, it's green onions who sinned against my elders. And their IBS.

Everyone is asking this question too, right? Why does Sonic drive a car in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds? Is he being condescending like "I'll give you losers a handicap by driving this CAR"? Or maybe he just likes cars?

If I ignore the dead plants on my windowsill, they just go away, right?

In the animated Street Fighter II movie, you see Chun-Li's boobs. I am extremely conflicted about this. Like you know Mickey Mouse takes off his pants sometimes. You just... never picture it.

At some point in this book series, I have to stop saying aloud "Shut up, Nesta." I have to. Right? Cause if I don't then either I'm wrong or the world is.

Oh fuck, you guys, Gohan doing the Special Beam Cannon still gives me the chills

I'm not great with a trackpad because my fingers are always slightly moist from eating banana bread

Ne Zha? More like No Duh! It was great. See Ne Zha 2 in theaters so they'll be forced to rerelease the first one, please

I am listening to Malala's audiobook while playing violent video games for maximum cognitive dissonance

I raise my own blood pressure every day by having imaginary arguments with fictional people who either like or dislike Superman for the wrong reasons

The older I get, the more dissatisfied I am with poor writing in video game anime dating sims.

I remember disliking Tinder because it reminded me of picking the rude dialogue options in video games. I feel bad for hurting the feelings of digital beings.

Wait, Omega mutant Psi-Lord Powerhouse Franklin Richards has never met The Maker????

My struggle is not attaching "No worries if not" to literally every request I make

The opening of Money For Nothing by Dire Straits is the only good alarm clock song

Do Milly Alcock superfans call themselves Alcockholics?

I host a podcast where famous people talk about sedate things while you go to sleep. This week, Janet Varney tells us that if a skunk runs out of sleep juice, it will pound on the ground with both paws and make a "puh!" sound. Sweet dreams.

I had a nightmare where one of our most beloved actors died but I will not name said actor lest I jinx it and they die in a plane crash. Though this actor has been known to survive those... FORGET I SAID THAT IT WAS SCOTT BAIO HA HA THAT'S RIGHT

I am realizing that the attractive women who flirted with me across my life were probably serious and not secretly making fun of me. A girl in 7th grade did this to me once in 1999 and I have never recovered. Unless she was serious too. Poop.

Your friendly reminder that the best companion in all of video games, Veronica from Fallout New Vegas, was voiced by GOAT @felicia.day

I think a good cultural barometer is asking someone, "What is Elvis singing about in Hound Dog and why?"

Is it still virtue signaling if I'm fucking furious and it earns me more enmity than friends?

Have you ever spent so much time posing for a selfie that your phone goes to sleep from inaction?

Now arriving at Maximum Fun: E PLURIBUS MOTTO season two! Join Janet Varney and @hodgman.bsky.social as they investigate the state flag, state song, and state spirit of America's Maryland: Maryland!
