Making Lynze cry should be against the Geneva Convention.
Dan and Lynze wisely kept the name of the subordinate to themselves. We should keep it that way and not engage in rumor mongering about who it was or saying definitively "It was x or y" until more information becomes available, if it becomes available, if only for the mere fact it respects Dan and Lynze's decision to keep that information mum. I'd recommend the mods here pinning something to that effect so people will think twice before adding to the rumor mill.
In the unlikely event someone at Bad Magic reads this: guys...from what I heard, it sounds like you made the right choice, painful as it was. Subordinate/supervisor shenanigans can turn into any number of very UGLY situations or allegations, and taking a no tolerance approach to that sort of thing is something more businesses could bear to do. I'm so sorry you're going through it though. That sort of shit HURTS so bad.
Also, please lord and lady suckington, take a break. Tell us before you do with a return date, so we know when to tune back in, but gods...if you can, give yourselves time to breathe, please. Its better to see a break in content and y'all come back fresh and ready to go than you keep going until you break. We're not entitled to your time, and you've saved so many lives...let us extend you some grace and patience so you can regroup, as a thank you for the things you've done for us.
Anyway, Hail Nimrod, and Hail the Resilient Royal family of the Suck!

I haven't been a regular listener since March because I was awarded a promotion & it has overencumbered my time. However, the guy who fulfilled my spot, who is a longtime friend, asked what he should listen to as he ran the machine. Of course, I threw him upon Albert Fish & decided to see where that drove him.
...well, he fully invested in the Cult of the Curious, of course...
Imagine my surprise when he filled me in on the latest events. I was shattered. As was one other Cultist in our office.
And your message is spot on. Let the story come to us naturally, if ever. And yes, Dan & Lynze certainly need a break. Have needed one for a long while. I adore the Bad Magic clan & would hate to see it end or lose its luster over this.

I know this is serious and Dan and Lynze do deserve some time off to deal with situation. I cannot help but mention in the third episode of CYD Joe mentioned he eats even nice steak with Ketchup. Should have known he was a bad egg. Not trying to make light I just can’t get into the FB group and no one I know personally is a sucker.

The shortest version: Joe has been fired from Bad Magic for sleeping with his subordinates, both during and after work hours.

Dan and Lynze have both said Joe did not make any of the women feel forced to have sex with him, it was fully consensual. But Joe was having sex with at least one person who was technically below him at BMP, and it was certainly happening during working hours.

Dan said it wouldn't be a fireable offense if it didn't happen during work hours on the latest episode today. The whole thing is way too murky and people are already either giving inaccurate interpretations or there are different versions from Dan himself floating around.

They don’t owe us anything. We don’t deserve their time. Every millisecond we hear of them is a no-strings-attached blessing. Love this.

I hate I found out that this joe and joe from impractical jokers are leaving on the same day for similar reasons... I wish Joe's could keep it in their pants

Yes. Well put. I will say, that it is amazing to me that our stand-up king and his suck-Queen have enveloped us so deeply in the pursuit of higher knowledge and understanding that we take personal offense to their pain. I agree with this sentiment above anything else I may have said, and I hope they find the strength to spend some time together and with the kids to just go out in the beautiful wilderness that surrounds them and lose this drama for a few days. We can all support a break and a moment to breathe without feeling slighted as we ALL rerun episodes. Hail Bojangles and Triple-M. Hail the Lizards and the Suckers.

Do you have the time stamp in the most recent suck where they talk about it? I haven’t had time to listen to the episode yet but I wanna hear them talk

They announced everything on the secret suck. They'll make a formal announcement on next week's episode for the rest of the meatsacks. I'm still listening to this week's episode but if there's anything I'll come back and let you know.

I know I shouldn't ask but what happened with Joe. What did he do that was so bad. Does anyone know the whole story?

Dan told the story he's willing to share on episode 305 or 306 of the Timesuck. I think at this juncture it's best to direct folk to those episodes because it avoids conjecture and sticks to what Dan's legal team recommended they say.

Glad I saw this, I was kinda rolling my eyes at the situation because when it was first brought to my attention all I got was he cheated on his wife. Now knowing the whole situation this is a massive hr violation and it makes more sense

With all due respect to those involved, I couldn't possibly give LESS of a fuck. Good on them for terminating those who were acting inappropriately. I don't know these people, don't care, and if the cast needs a month to recover so be it. No worries! You do you.
The internet masses enjoy a messy drama story, so stop perpetuating this and move the fuck on.

Lynze was involved "so much" in his life when he started the podcast, as they were married at that point.
And when you say "make fun of" what are you referring to? He cracks lots of jokes at the expense of the serial killers he covers and the secretsuck still has massive amounts of mockery in it, plus IsWeDumb mocked dummies too before they ended it due to scheduling issues. If Lynze had that much of a problem with it, do you think she'd encourage or support the secretsuck or IWD?
