Where The Boys Are feat. Mattie Lubchansky

It's the free one!

We brought on friend of the show and extremely good cartoonist Mattie Lubchansky (@lubchansky) to discuss their new book BOYS WEEKEND. They wanted to register a website for the book at boysweekend.com, but it’s been parked on by a group of guys who’ve been having boys’ weekends since 2000. And posting about it on a very web 1.0 site. So, cleary we had to talk about it, as well as more AI-related news, and much more.

Check out the actual site for BOYS WEEKEND here, and preorder a copy: www.boysweekend.biz

I know I've watched a film titled "Where The Boys Aren't "

The website and the movie add up to all of human knowledge. Where the boys are, and where the boys aren't.

a Stable Diffusion AI NPC who develops Main Character Syndrome in a elderly de-boredom VR program would be a fantastic premise for a scifi short

Isn't that the plot of Hillbilly Elegy?

am I the only one getting this warm blissful feeling from how fast BoysWeekend (the 1.0 site) is loading? I half expected it to be crashed from all the new traffic, but you just click and it's there! The whole page! God, the Internet used to be good.

This episode reminded me of a guy I knew in high school who has the same initials as Milo and used to get repeatedly told off by teachers for writing his initials on his worksheets and leaving them to work out who had written “ME” on their homework

Riley kinda forgot at the end to mention the intro/outro tune is Herewego by Jinsiang. And he mentioned giving more crédito to this jingle being his new years resolution. I'm 80% sad and 21 % disappointed. Sad moan dot wav dot exe

Very nice to get a shout out on my favourite podcast (I'm the guy who was shouting DanganRompa when Alice forgot the name)

I was also shouting Danganronpa, because I am playing it for the first time RIGHT NOW.

For some reason the idea of Jean-Luc du Bastard feeling comfortable posting pictures of him et les mecs in blackface on a public website for years but then suddenly panicking when Matty sends some New Yorkers that way is very funny to me. This is after another fine Quebecois (Justin Trudeau) defeated the Hanglish [sic] and their blackface mores too!

There is actually a company that will handle customer service lines for you. They call themselves Karens for Sale. Which seems like a significant failure in naming when Karen as a Service was available.

Worst part of having all the cops on the platforms, besides all the cops on the platforms, is the fucking MTA announcement at any major stop saying "If you need any sort of assistance, the NYPD is here to help". Gotta love a mayor that cuts social spending and then says "go to these infinitely more expensive, untrained, armed social-worker-standins if you're having a rough time"

If every episode is gonna start with that it's the free one nonsense, I just feel that every episode should end with a laugh from Alice to make up for it. So wholesome

Worth the wait.

Listening to Alice trying to remember Danganronpa makes me understand something less than good about myself. That said, given that baby knives are now a thing, I really want to hear this particular configuration of the podcast talking about truth bullets. *edit* getting called out for being that guy yelling "Danganronpa" at the podcast now. Definitely rude.

Quite relevant the moment this episode came out, the WatchMeForever Twitch stream of AI generated Seinfeld got a 2 week ban after Jerry dropped a transphobic "joke". This happened as the OpenAI's GPT-3 Davinci model was offline so they switched to a stupider worse model Curie, the predecessor for Davinci, which ended up churning out Seinfeld (offensive)

Technically, you were right when you said there was a Persona game with a murder mystery and a weird bear 😅

Web 3.0 was a mistake, but Web 1.0 was wild man. Them gifs, frames and static pages. And the Terribad tiled backgrounds. Ugh.

No, beautybad. Maybe I am nostalgic for those times, but I like how non-corporate you could post back then. Also, its a dumb html website with gifs, and a maillink. But 20 years later and most things you need a website for is still basically this. Just more polished, until all the beautiful weirdness is sandblasted away. BRING BACK MYSPACE
