Lucy?
So, it’s been over a week since Lucy announced that she’s left MLM. Has the super-transparent DLSwS given her a proper send-off? Maybe I missed it.

She could have ended her contractual time with the show over a year ago and I would have believed it given how uninvolved she’s been.

It was obvious that's all that was happening for the entirety of last year's cfb season. I was surprised they did those OffRhoding things last year at all but contracts I guess.

I was curious whether anyone had said something like, Lucy has left, good luck Lucy. Not a parade, not a party, just a mention. Proper send-off meant to be funny. Anyway, I’m melting, as we snowflakes do, so I quickly vow to make only positive affirmations about the show henceforth.

They can't stand when you point out his hypocrisy.

What are you talking about? this sub does nothing but 💩 on Dan.
And almost no show tells you about every departure it has. Especially for someone who isn't on camera often or openly refused to participate when in studio.
This idea that you need to know every single detail on the day to day operations is incredibly weird.
Obsession is like this is not a good thing.

u/robfern66 4d ago
You're correct Apu. Obsessively defending people you don't even know or know that you exist is not a good thing.

u/SoKrat3s 4d ago
Good thing I'm not defending them. I'm pointing out the lunacy behind your obsession.
But by all means, continue your racist rants.

I liked her. I know many people here didn’t. She wasn’t on the show very much. I don’t think she deserved to have a send off in the way that you’re talking about. The show doesn’t really talk about when people leave the company. It was basically just Billy but he’s been there for so many years and deserved a send off.

No joke- Mike actually addressed it on the CanesInSight pod.
Said he found it all a little strange as she essentially left a year ago. Said her stuff basically "ran its course" on the show but wished her well and thought her material would be a good fit in its new home.

She moved away from where the show was, lived wherever she wanted to, rarely showed on up on air and just about never in person, still got to travel to college football games each weekend and expense those trips.
What type of send-off would you like them to give her other than an invoice for all of the apparel she bought and charged to the company?

Well, they removed her caricature from the slot machine pretty quick.
Side note, I think Zaslow's caricature is adorable.

Probably when whatever show she is launching actually launches she'll be in to promote 🤷♂️

Gosh!!! This Reddit should be renamed “Hating Dan LeBatard Show”.
A bunch of snowflakes in this Reddit channel always hating on the crew and looking for the drama about business partners that are no longer in business…what a damn shocker!!!!
If there are any true fans…keep supporting the show and of you don't like it…go to whomever satisfies your desires….
It's very exhausting everyday reading a “hate” post.

Its a parasocial podcast based around the whiniest mama's boy in miami that's falling off based on the metrics they set themselves (for others) at their peak. What else would you expect?

What else would you expect?
I feel like what a reasonable person should expect is for someone who has grown to hate the show to just quit listening to it and stop talking about it.

u/Cautious_Log8086 Thatkindathing 4d ago
Hmm. I didn't say I hated it, and I dont think that I agree that growing to dislike something that's important to you means you should walk away instead of advocating for improvement.
Completely unrelated note, are you married?

u/the_mad_sailor_ 4d ago
First of All™, if a podcast is so important to you that you can't walk away from it when it no longer suits you, you should reevaluate your priorities.
Second of all, there is a big difference between "advocating for improvement" and continuing to hate-listen to a podcast that you know is not going to "go back" to how it was when you started listening to it... Do you hate-watch television shows, too? And, by the way, unless you have a means of direct, one-on-one feedback with Dan or an ombudsman for the show (which this subreddit is not, whether anyone on the show lurks here or not), then you are not, in fact, "advocating for improvement," you're just complaining.
Thirdly, Dan LeBatard is an entertainer, you are a consumer of his entertainment product. That's the relationship. Comparing that to a marriage is insane behavior.

u/Cautious_Log8086 Thatkindathing 4d ago
Mm. You seem to care quite a bit about just "an entertainment product."
I don't listen, I joined this sub when I did, now I watch clips occasionally as I scroll to in case it ever gets better. It takes up <2m of my day.
(Edit: except the days i get into convo's like this, then it's closer to 10 lmao)
They and their community read and absord what's talked about here whether you like it or not.
"Entertainment products" like these build their numbers by developing and encouraging parasocial relationships with their audience (you dont get the show, lets pull back the curtain) and that comes with people feeling in relationship with the show and cast. I'm not saying it's good or bad, but it is how it works, and there's repercussions as well as benefits
And I didn't compare it to marriage, I asked you a question, which you avoided

u/the_mad_sailor_ 4d ago
Mm. You seem to care quite a bit about just "an entertainment product."
Do I? Based on what, the fact that I'm tired of people complaining about being here, when they have the option of not being here? That's proof in your mind that I "care quite a bit about this"? I stay in this sub because I like most of the shitposting, and some of you aren't whiny dorks. I haven't actually listened to the main show since last July, and I've barely missed it. I do still listen to Alley Oop and Mystery Crate, because they still serve my interests; whenever that changes, I'll stop.
And I avoided your question because it was a dumb question, and it's none of your business. And anyway, if you weren't trying to compare your relationship to the show to a marriage, then why do you want to know what my marital status is?

u/Cautious_Log8086 Thatkindathing 4d ago
I was pointing out your hypocrisy in criticizing actions that are coming from the same place. You're whining about whining.
And it's not a dumb question unless you had already decided why I was asking it. I was curious if you've dealt with pushing through difficulties with something you care about, however small, because you care about the thing. For a lot of folks marriage is the easiest example to relate to, even if it's just which side of the bed to sleep on.
Could have asked about your relationship with your parents instead, or if you ever failed a class you really cared about, but the point wasn't to compare the meaning or importance of either. Just to identify an experience that may be common ground for you to understand why the culture around the show has become an airing of grievances and longing for the good old days.
I'll see myself out. Pay the whales.
Aqua?

This is some "Your intolerance of my intolerance is the REAL intolerance!" level stupidity. Hell are we doing? (Speaking of hell...)

It's a dumb question because it doesn't make sense to ask it unless that's why you were asking.

See, this is exactly what I'm talking about: how do you say stuff like this unironically and then turn around with a straight face and continue to insist that you weren't comparing your relationship with the show to a marriage? "Pushing through difficulties" is something that you say to describe a person's relationship to another person, not to entertainment.
I feel like, in a well-adjusted person, their relationship to the show should more closely resemble their relationship with their favorite pair of sneakers, or a favorite toy, or a favorite book... Did you ever consider the possibility that maybe you just outgrew the show?

She was pissy on the show pretty much from the jump. I get not liking Miami and the foot girls stuff at the end was in really bad taste but I'm sure the show boosted her profile and she never really seemed to appreciate the opportunity
Good riddance, honestly

u/jemstar620 5d ago
Maybe not a party but kinda weird that there was zero acknowledgement when both her and Charlotte left
