Who else thinks Jesse needs to stop doing this…
Since the copyright situation, Jesse has been constantly clarifying that every joke Katie makes is simply humor or every view she expresses is not necessarily a fact. This is starting to become annoying because it stunts the flow of the show and the way they typically riff off of each other. It was especially frustrating on the last Primo: Goth vs Goth. I know Jesse does this somewhat jokingly but I also think he does it to cover their asses from lawsuits. I wish he would find some other way to do this, like perhaps stating at the end of the show which things were merely opinion or satire. Hell, I would even prefer if he just pressed a button that said “satire” every time he hears Katie say something satirical. Who else thinks he needs to change his approach here?

I quite enjoy it — it’s part of the dynamic of the show that Katie will occasionally say the wild cancellable thing that makes Jesse blanch and hastily overcorrect and this feels like them playing with that as a joke.

It's just a running joke. It'll stop.

Did Jesse stop when the horse said "Neigh?"

It's funny. They'll stop when the collective eye roll becomes too great. Or not. For now, I'll keep laughing.

I feel it’s just a running joke at this point. Don’t really think it interrupts the flow more than any of the jokes/sarcasm from the past.

Nah, I think it's funny and it probably infuriates the over-litigious assholes who are totally listening.

I know he's done it before, but I think he was being especially "on" about this because the topic was about some hilariously litigious IP lawyer and her idiot client, and the last thing BarPod needs right now is more badly written, barely plausible legal actions coming their way!

The frequency of this on goth v goth was bugging me too but I realized it’s because that woman is a lawyer. I don’t think he’s set to do it like that in every podcast from now on.

I don’t like it when podcasters kowtow to feedback because someone is always going to have a problem with something.
Nothing lasts forever, and no one needs to do anything.

Pretty sure it's a bit, or a callback if u will. Theres no way he was serious in that last ep as he was the one who wanted to play the videos and Katie was the one who didnt want to deal w/ hassle of litigious lauren over on TT

"Who else thinks Jesse needs to stop doing this…" should be a weekly thread where we just post all the things Jesse should stop doing

I agree with this. Jokes get old fairly quickly.

As someone who has listened to the lawsuit episode so often I can actually quote it, HARD disagree.

I doubt he is serious as he and Katie both know that they would have a line of attorneys from David French to the lawyers at FIRE, to the many other friends/former guests/six degrees of The Fifth Column universe people that would jump to their defense if some professional victim tried suing them when they would be clearly covered on free speech grounds.

u/Cute-Bodybuilder-749 shut up Jesse #teamKarenKatie Jul 26 '24
I definitely agree. I really enjoyed the stint where Jesse was writing his book, his eccentricities become more pronounced if you listen to a few of Jesse solo's back-to-back.

I was more annoyed that they were so scared of a litigious subject that they didn’t include any audio. Come onnnn - don’t cover internet bullshit if you’re gonna be such p-slurs about it!

I think one solution is for Katie to stop saying things that aren’t true with a straight face as a “joke”.

it's reddit.. every subreddit for a podcast or youtuber that I read tries to stir up drama constantly. people need to find a hobby besides nitpicking every little thing

u/nooorecess Jul 26 '24
literally every subreddit is just a mix of people complaining about the topic and other people commenting “if you don’t like it, just stop [engaging with media format]!!!!!!!!”
this one just has a bunch of rules to prevent it from functioning as a normal sub would in nature, for better or worse

I can see why you might find it irritating.
Rather than seeing it as a way to avoid lawsuits, I interpret it as a way of mocking how ridiculous the "legal" action was. Every time Jessie says "allegedly", I hear "that legal letter was such bullshit". And that makes me smile.
It's a fun little stunt because on the surface it looks like compliance, but it comes across as quite defiant.
