I'll mention something different for my own contribution than my usual:

I've always hated Seinfeld, including when his show was brand new. "It's a show about nothing!" was a thought terminating cliche in the 90s that was used to pitch the show at me again and again by its fans, and also to dismiss any and all problems I had with the show and its ultra-privileged smarmy main character. If I got anything valuable out of that show and for that matter his stand up routine, it was a lifelong allergy to New Yorker comedy that front loads a whole lot of "I am a New Yorker which means I am smarter and tougher and wiser and more cultured and more sophisticated yet more grounded than you" self-aggrandizement into the set. :nyet:

    I think most people here don't really care for the podcast. I think this website does a good job distancing itself from a lot of their 😬 vibes

      I have never interacted with the podcast in any way, shape, or form. At most I may have watched a singular clip. I don't know who's on it, what they are up to, what cringe they have committed. It has not impacted my ability to engage on the old sub or the site today. I don't watch any podcasts to be honest.

      I think the last time it was polled a majority of us usually listen, but that was a while ago. Personally I still listen to every episode, their sense of humor just hits all the right buttons for me and lately their takes have been pretty consistently on point. The only one I like more is Trashfuture
