I don't think you are, and I don't think being honest about the financial realities of Laser Time and Talking Simpsons is being passive-aggressive or shitty. This is just the reality of making content and we have chosen a different business plan than Laser Time. Once we get enough money to pay people, we can make more stuff—it's as simple as that.
And I have lots of fun on Twitter and find it to be a very valuable promotional tool so if you want to think I'm hated then hey, whatever helps you sleep at night.
Bob was already earning income from the Retronauts patreon before starting Talking Simpsons
was Laser Time necessary for TS to turn a success? Perhaps but you could also say that TS and Bob/Henry's presence helped Laser Time grow an audience as well
Bob doesn't get paid for retronauts. That just goes to JeremyBob was already earning income from the Retronauts patreon before starting Talking Simpsons

I get paid for the work I do on Retronauts. I try not to work for free if I can help it.
I forgot Henry was part of the initial roster of Laser Time, either way Talking Simpsons' launch wasn't wholly created by Chris since it involved Henry writing its introduction article and claiming that Bob and him were part of the core group http://www.lasertimepodcast.com/2015/06/27/this-is-talking-simpsons-who-the-hell-are-you/I'm not really talking about it's success or it being a patreon, I'm literally talking about TS being a show that launched as a patreon goal for LT and was patreon exclusive for the first season. Could you say Bob and Henry would have started it eventually? Sure, but Henry was a part of the LT Patreon at that time.

and the Patreon goals were obviously just random submissions that Chris was going to do anyways with the streams and LT.com features, and let's not forget that Thirty Twenty Ten didn't launch until a year after the Patreon passed $5,000 (new show tier)
uh no, I think Chris's incentive for listeners was to reach $10,000 for Brett to be a part of the permanent roster, I remember that being a tier and pushed on podcasts once
but the $5,000 tier was definitely 302010 I remember Chris and the group keep teasing it until Brett wanted to come on
Edit: here's that email of the $10,000 goal being Brett's inclusion
I️ started it a day or so ago when they announced changes once they hit 10k but bob informed me I'm not a fan so if anyone else wants to put it together feel free
I think Bob misaimed the joke at you but damn. That's gonna sting.I️ started it a day or so ago when they announced changes once they hit 10k but bob informed me I'm not a fan so if anyone else wants to put it together feel free

I️ hope that they realize this weeks what a cartoon episode for Bobby's world shows that most cartoons don't work at all for the talking simpsons formula. After they got through the history bits, which were enjoyable and informative, them discussing the episode sucked. It doesn't work for shows that I️ wouldn't watch now and enjoy
I️ liked the ren and stimpy one a ton due to the guy who wrote the book on it being on it.
Steve universe and king of the hill worked excellently but since then, most episodes haven't worked for me

I know you're both doubling down on the petty feud narrative, but Bob was just being candid to clear up unrealistic expectations; LT's output was disproportionate to the amount of money the Patreon was bringing in because people were working for peanuts. It was completely unsustainable and that's why it's in the process of fucking imploding right now.
It also isn't petty at all to point out the financial realities of how much money the LT Patreon was bringing in and how little was going back to Bob and Hank while they were working on TS. If that makes it look like Chris mismanaged the LT Patreon and took advantage of his friends in the process and then just burned it all down maybe that's because he ... uh ... did?
I'm still puzzled as to why everyone is giving the dude the benefit of the doubt, but casting aspersions on the two people that have actually given specific details on the way he does business.
you made it onto his twitter!I've been contributing to Laser Time, Retronauts, and Talking Simpsons for a while. Right now it's hard not to feel bad for Chris given what we've publically been told to this point. I hope whatever Chris did to cause this rift was serious enough to justify this really odd passive aggressivene behavior from Bob/Hank. They probably know most subscribers are not paying attention to social media, however what they may not realize is that these productions are already beginning to suffer due to the split. TS/Retronauts really benefited from Chris' guest spots and likewise with Bob/Hank on LT shows.
BTW - It's very funny Bob is a liberal "communist" that seems unaware of his knack for practicing cut throat entrepreneurship.
I enjoyed hearing their music discussions.This weeks bonus time is really solid. Chris has pulled in some solid folks so far. I️ hope to hear more of them and see where the show goes
Dude just needs something reliable. Hopefully he'll do soI enjoyed hearing their music discussions.
When I saw the QOTW was car recommendations, I was totally going to reply Honda Fit, but then he already covered that.
Woah, that's a cool lineup, can't wait to listen to it.Brett, Tyler, and Anne back for VGA, but no Henry or Dave. :/
Remote recording seems great in this episode.
If it weren't for What a Cartoon also being mondays now, Lasertime being so late would be throwing my commute podcast rotation off as well. It's even weirder for this week because references made to when it was recorded makes it sound like they were sitting on it for a while, at which point why did it take so long to get posted?man lasertime being late these last few Mondays really throws my week off.
