I actually left a comment on the 100k a year salary 6 months ago and I feel bad that he's still thinking about it this long after. I did throw in a few qualifiers saying that people I know in NH live like kings on that and that it obviously doesn't stretch as far in other places... but it is still a lot of money! Yes, it may not go as far in DC, but maybe just comes across a bit weird as you probably do live a reasonable lifestyle, 20k a year above the average salary in DC, have several cool jobs, brag about the many insane things you've done and you seem to comfortably afford to fund your lifestyle and hobbies. It may not seem like much to you because you're a personality and journalist and are comparing yourself to a different type of person that lives in DC who is swimming in cash. But to normal people with dead-end shite jobs, they'd kill to be 20k above the average DC salary and get to talk and write about videogames. So they dont want to hear the people living their dream complain about earning more and getting to do more cool shit than they ever will. Calling out the audience for making comments and saying "it's your fucking problem" they are basically saying the same thing to you Gene. It's your choice and problem that you live in a city and choose to do what you do and complain you've only just hit a 6 figure salary. You may think you have it bad, but compared to some you don't, and that's what I and a few others tried to point out, and you seem to have taken it to heart. If you don't like people discussing it, that's a you problem like you said. Maybe think more about what you want to reveal on here if you're going to get annoyed when people discuss it. I really like you on the show Gene and this entire network, but I felt I needed to defend the audience memebers (myself included) against your clear anger (perhaps you were trying out online rage bait to get comments like this 😂) All the best, please try to enjoy your successes and realise how fortunate you are compared to some listeners.
Gene and Micah! 4 hour long episode! I love it! I would like to see Colin on too but I can’t deny this is a great episode! Thank you LSM for making my work week better! 🙏❤️
Dagan! Have you seen Orion and the Dark? It's a great animated movie and the main character might just be based on you, as he is also afraid of everything 😅
1:12:05 I've been scared of roller coasters since I was a kid and refused to go on one until recently. I went to Disney World with the family and I'm competitive with my brother. He was very terrified and refused to go on one so in order to beat him, I had to go on at least one to win in my mind. I went on my first roller coaster, Space Mountain, and loved it. I went on every coaster I could in the park and may have gone on too many by the end of the trip. Face your fears. It can be fun sometimes.
That's fair. hahahaa It was certainly the talk of literary circles and let's face it just pop-culture circles for, like, an entire decade. I do think the build-up to reading it was more terrifying than actually reading it. Still though, one of those books that requires the right mindset to get the most out of it. A book that creates an awesome and eerie atmosphere. Also don't forget, I'm very easy to scare. ; )
Uhm..Karen doesn't seem like a friend people should have. I've had chaotic people in my life and it just feels so on edge all the time. I mean I get the draw of a ride or die type person. But personally that just seems scary. Also why wouldn't you wanna get them help. If they are abusing alcohol so much. I had an alcoholic dad, and he never got help. I remember that shithead and his shit. Odd gene wouldn't be trying to help with that. Since he's recovered
Dagan you have by far the best intros and outros. You put a smile on my face every time.
you just put a smile on MY face so guess we're even.
How can Gene still have this many insane stories. The best friends topic was WILD
I don’t always agree with every member of LSM, but I really enjoy all of the thoughtful and engaging content in the shows. Keep it up everyone!
Thank you for the timestamps !
The best part of constellation is Dagans child-like sense of wonder for Gene. And Micah is also cool

The Da Vinki twins are wholesome they make happy videos to this day lol. They’re funny as fuck too.
I love this show, merry Christmas everyone
This is an under rated combo

It's Peanut Butter Stelly Time
Gene, I’m one of those fans you like. Simply because I respect your thoughts and opinions as your own.
Dagan!

I haven't seen it, but on it! ; )

Hey you guys are alright!
Where is Colin?
I'm sick of this dagan hating
lakupiippu huh?
House of Leaves, Dagan!? I heard the same thing, that it was terrifying, but I found it not to be AT ALL. The most overrated book of all-time.

It would be nice to at least get an announcement if Colin is going to skip a show for months
On Sacred Symbols, Colin said he’s aware of people wanting him back on the show, and said starting next year he’ll be on twice a month.
