Did You Reddit?

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

*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...

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...

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...
