Anybody else remember this ICONIC 80’s-90’s sitcom theme song?

Crazy, right?

It’s here! I’ve been so excited for everyone to hear this!

I got to be on a Max Fun show! After being a fan of Troubled Waters for years, I got to go on and tell Dave Holmes and the hilarious Ellie Hino all about Shourtney news and play games about horror movies and cover songs.

I had an absolute blast, check it out wherever you get your podcasts!

My predictions for naming 2024:

20 Blood & Gore - hackin’ that meat

20 What’s In Store - all the best prices

20 Runny S’more - hold it together

20 Albacore - Gone fishin’

20 Hold The Door - chivalry ain’t dead

20 Tits Galore - let ‘em out

20 Carnivore - protein power

20 Al Gore - bring ‘em back!

20 Skeletor - Nyaaaah!

Favorite genre of max fun ad is when the message is "maybe you listened to this show before and thought it sucked, but it's better now i prommy pleeeaaase give it another chance"

#so far heard a version of this for three #maximum fun #mbmbam #taz #the flop house #i listen to all three already it's funny that they make such a disclaimer in ads #env.typ

I have a new favorite funny podcast! The host describes the show as a humorous podcast about the seemingly random, underrepresented interests of different niches of Black people! And yes, it delivers! I started with the episode about the Golden Girls w/ Kid Fury and my next episode will likely be the Reba one or the titular episode because of course, I relate! Anyways. I don't normally share podcasts on my page and I listen to a lot but I love anything where I feel more seen.

Hey, you! Wanna support a worker-owned media cooperative?

Hi! I'm C.N. Josephs and I work for the podcasting company Maximum Fun. We make a lot of shows, but the most popular on Tumblr are The Adventure Zone and My Brother, My Brother, and Me. Jesse Thorn, the founder of MaxFun, recently sold the business to the employees. We're now a 100% worker-owned cooperative!

The co-op model has shown to be very sustainable in the long-term, but it involves a whole lot of set-up costs. To put it plainly: this is the most expensive year for our new co-op, and we're trying to raise some money to cover the costs. If you're interested in helping a really cool podcast network continue to make really awesome shows, here are some ways you can help:

Buy our limited-time member-exclusive merch. We've got some t-shirts, a hoodie, a hat, and a pin available. My personal favorite item is our "The Future is Cooperative" shirt, here modelled by my lovely coworkers Danny and Julian

2. Become a member. You can join for as low as $5/mo, which really does make a big difference to our network!

3. Make a one-time contribution. Great option for anyone who wants to support the network but can't do a recurring contribution!

I really care about this network and want to see us succeed, so I really appreciate anyone who helps out! Also, my inbox is open right now, so if anyone has questions about this or about Maximum Fun in general, please feel free to send them my way :)

I currently have 300+ screen recordings of my favorite MBMBAM bits and Monster Factory clips.

They serve no purpose. I just collect them because they make me laugh.

Would Tumblr be interested in me posting them. Yay or nay.

The way the Maximum Fun (podcast network) Drive only emphasizes/rewards "new and upgrading members" has always felt gross to me. In the same way that every other company feels gross by perpetually needing double-digit growth percentages quarter after quarter. It makes it feel like continued support is fine, I guess, but what we really want us new blood! We're not gonna publicly celebrate your five bucks a month after the first time, but we'll count up the people who give twenty dollars to get a perk and then immediately cancel every year!

It's probably the correct business decision to bring in cash, but damn it feels gross.

It’s Transgender Awareness Week and that happens to line up with a very special Day 10 of talking about my upcoming album, “Ganymede Gives Up The Ghost”!

Why’s it special, you ask? Well, some of you may recognize the illustration for today’s song. I’m truly overjoyed to announce that none other than comedian, writer, and all around nerd-stuff extraordinaire, Riley Silverman, has loaned her vocal talent to provide the voice of The Narrator!

“There’s a Narrator? But this is like a music album, right?” You ask.

Yes, it is! But I’m *theatrical* and *artsy*, so I wanted to amp up the drama for the narrative of Our Hero (don’t know who Our Hero is? Go check out the last few days of posts and learn more about her!)

I’m so tremendously honored to have the chance to work with Riley, who now holds the title of my first official collaboration, and I can’t thank her enough for being a part of such a personal and weird project. If you aren’t familiar with her, or even if you are, please check out “Strumpets and Flagons”, the thirsty-sword-lesbians TTRPG podcast she did last spring, and “Troubled Waters”, which is a podcast on the MaxFun network that she writes for (I know some of my fans are as big of MaxFun fans as I am!)

So, let’s gab about today’s song, shall we? Today’s song is called “All The Friends Fall Off”.

It’s a song about loneliness. About watching your social circle diminish as you get older, enumerating the people I’ve lost along the way and ruminating on how I lost them. Some for good reasons, some for bad reasons, some for ridiculous reasons. It’s about learning the lesson that you can’t hold onto everything, you can’t make everyone stay, but if you’re good and kind and keep trying, you’ll find new people who will love you, and who you’ll love in return.

Lyrically, I frame the lesson through a lens I’ve always used to connect with friends: music. I replay a few memories with references to songs that have tied me to other people. It’s a weird way of writing that simultaneously felt very foreign and very personal.

A preview of the lyrics:

“‘Game Shows Touch Our Lives’ by The Mountain Goats

You don’t like the cigarettes, they make you choke

I don’t want to move on, but that’s what I do

I just want to waste my time with you”

Let’s make this one fun: what’s the silliest reason you’ve lost a friendship over? I wanna hear about it!
