GAM Bonus 038: Democratic Primary Debate #2
Added 2019-08-17 21:40:48 +0000 UTCYou asked for it, and you got it. And damn did you get it, because it took us almost three hours to summarize the second round of primary debates. Enjoy...
----Note: You Will be Charged for this Post----
Important note: In the past, we've included the monthly bonus as an unpaid post, but after a long hard look over the last few months at how much time we put into our various activities and how much they pay us back for that investment, we've realized that the only real way to continue to provide you a full, quality episode every month is to make a paid post of it.
If that's gonna mess up your Patreon donations, don't worry, there is a workaround that allows you to opt out of paying for these posts, but that still allows you to get them. You can limit your pledge to ensure you won't be charged for more than the four or five episodes you're used to paying for. This might effect mailed rewards, but it's an option for people who can't afford the extra charge every month.

Y’all need to do these every election season. Also definitely the libertarian party one.

2019-09-08 19:26:11 +0000 UTCIt makes me very uncomfortable that people drink Kool-aid and we haven't just decided to destroy it like it deserves.

2019-09-07 16:16:11 +0000 UTCI was a black kid growing up in Gary, IN and we absolutely used the "... dipping in the kool-aid..." When we said it, it was when someone jumps into a conversation that is already in progress and clearly didn't understand that conversation.

2019-08-30 13:34:48 +0000 UTCHow do you define it? I'm not trying to be a jerk, this is seriously the first time I've heard anyone dispute that sexual orientation is essentially a preference for which genitals are present during sex.

2019-08-23 21:38:15 +0000 UTCLoved the episode but random thought... I've heard people say "Dipping into the kool-aid without knowing the flavor..." since I was a small black kid growing up in Georgia. It is a thing.

2019-08-21 17:37:20 +0000 UTCI don’t like the debate episodes. I don’t patronize Skepticrat for a reason. It’s also grating that you persist in misprouncing the name of the only black female candidate. Just Google it please.

2019-08-20 10:58:27 +0000 UTCI enjoyed your breakdown of the first debate, so I listened and also enjoyed this episode. But as you guys said several times in this and the other episode, the debates quickly became pointless to watch. I hope you guys go back to doing bad secular movies after this month.

2019-08-20 01:14:19 +0000 UTCI don't mind paying for it, that's what we're here for after all, but it's not really a 'bonus' episode anymore then, is it? It's just a random off-topic episode that belongs on another show.

2019-08-19 23:00:38 +0000 UTCIt’s time to (politically) octagon the candidates and reduce them to the strongest 5 or 6.

2019-08-19 21:34:57 +0000 UTCI logged in specifically to say that I love this fucking show and am more than happy to pay an extra two bucks for the monthly bonus. You guys put a hell of a lot of work in and I listen to those shows repeatedly. Thanks for all you do

2019-08-19 18:04:20 +0000 UTCplease please please stop casually defining sexual orientation in terms of genital preferences seriously this is how trans people get hurt

2019-08-18 16:12:20 +0000 UTCIt's depressing enough knowing the opposition to the Trump Reich is self-destructing. It is rubbing salt on the wound to have it take over GAM. Have you seriously run out of movies to riff on??
Elvis Manson
2019-08-18 11:48:02 +0000 UTCI also have no problem paying for this bonus content, but I also wish that it was movie related. It's just weird to have this debate content not on Skepticrat or Scathing, and here. And I do, while I'm complaining, wish there was more of a regular GAM bonus schedule.
Grant Cosper
2019-08-18 10:42:55 +0000 UTCI somehow thought I was already paying for these, so am happy to do so now, and am thoroughly enjoying the debate content. First time I've paid this much attention to this level of politics and been interested instead of falling asleep.
Ada
2019-08-18 04:29:55 +0000 UTCThanks for letting us know, and the limit option is a good way to go if the increase is a problem. By limiting the monthly amount you may lose mailed extras, but still get the podcast content? That's like having another support tier, kind of. That's not much of a change, at all.
Hypatia
2019-08-18 04:18:40 +0000 UTCYAY!! I was hoping you would do this again. These make the debates easier to deal with!
JCS
2019-08-18 01:38:48 +0000 UTCI have no problem paying for the secular bonus episodes if they’re on topic. But announcing this change because you spent too much time on Skepticrat content is poor communications. Cancelled my Skepticrat patreon and reduced my GAM funding.

2019-08-18 01:07:08 +0000 UTCDarn. Another bonus episode that I'm not going to listen to. I don't want to listen to the debates. I listen to God awful movies to laugh at bad movies. I hope this is a trend that doesn't continue.

2019-08-18 00:15:25 +0000 UTCI think it’s amazing that you do this extra work for our amusement and am happy to pay for it!

2019-08-18 00:03:20 +0000 UTCSo cool, paying now for "bonus" material? No one asked you to spend 3 hours on this shit.

2019-08-17 22:54:09 +0000 UTCI totally thought we already paid for the monthly movies so: no harm, no foul. I'm also a Canadian but, because these politicians often spout amusing (and horrible) fictions, I think they're appropriate for GAM. :) P.S.: I am glad to watch these from a distance -- I made the mistake of moving to the USA in 2016 and I fear that I caused the election to go to He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. @.@
Stu Pollock
2019-08-17 22:37:36 +0000 UTCI have no problem paying for them. I thought we already did lol. You guys need money the same as anyone else. Hell y'all deserve much more for the shit you go through watching these terrible movies

2019-08-17 21:56:35 +0000 UTCOh and I'm totally fine with paying for these posts, but please stick to movies on this feed.

2019-08-17 21:53:50 +0000 UTCWHO ASKED FOR THIS!? Sorry for wanting movies as the bonus episode for God Awful Movies and not debate summaries like this is part of Skepticrat. Sorry, I love you guys, but I'm personally discomforted by this.

2019-08-17 21:49:37 +0000 UTCCharge away! I hope this encourages you for monthly episodes!
Harold Windchester
2019-08-17 21:46:33 +0000 UTCReally hate to complain, but I don't feel like these things belong in the GAM feed. I get it for scathing or skepricrat, but as a Canadian that's tired AF of your primaries already this is not the kind of bonus content I want in my Christian movie podcast. I'm sure it will be well done, and funny. But it's just off topic and for non Americans it's tedious hearing about your 2 year elections on every podcast stream.
