The Boredwalk Podcast Episode 208: Bad vibes only

The Boredwalk Podcast ·

2024/03/07

Meredith & Tess discuss gross eHarmony ads, Boredwalk's most recent burglary, ineffective law enforcement, and the general bad vibes swirling around Boredwalk for the last several months. They also debate which is more powerful: capitalism or misogyny? Meredith is pretty sure it's misogyny and lays out why, and Tess supports this with some first-hand experiences working on ads for some of the worst companies on the internet. They then check in with the internet troll contingent, and the trolls did

2024/03/01

This week Meredith and Gabe discuss the heroes and trolls that alternately praise and vilify Boredwalk on the internet. This leads to an interesting conversation about the cognitive dissonance between the forms of creative work that are deemed acceptable to monetize and those that are not (See: Taylor Swift's forthcoming album The Tortured Poets Department and Boredwalk's Grievance Journal) and how social media platforms pay for themselves in a broader sense (See: running ads for products like

2024/02/23

This week Meredith & Tess lament the soggy L.A. weather reflecting the generally cursed vibe of 2024 thus far. Turns out targeted social media ads and organic content are no help in this regard! Just an endless doom scroll of posts about war-torn Gaza and Ukraine, endangered & neglected animals, and environmental catastrophe. What fun! This discussion of the present dystopia leads to them pondering whether or not they are actually in Hell and curiosity as to what each of them did in their past lives

Meredith & Tess revel in Taylor Swift's ruination of the Super Bowl for fragile men! Tess then plots what she is going to do with the preposterous amount of grapefruit her partner Trevor was scammed into purchasing by his ex-coworker's child. Meredith is dealing with the same issue, but with lemons, and instead of an annoying child it is Mother Nature herself doing the scamming by virtue of the lemon tree in her yard. Moving on, Tess reads a nice review from a customer raving about her Lurk Laugh

The Boredwalk Podcast Episode 204: Insect Abattoir

The Boredwalk Podcast ·

2024/02/08

Meredith & Tess pay tribute to the weekly insect mass grave that keeps appearing in the same spot of our recording studio. This sparks debate on whether the cause is scientific or supernatural in origin. Opinions are split! Tess shares a review of Boredwalk's Good Company guest book, which sparks a discussion about marketing fails. This leads into a fun dissection of recent troll comments — delightful! They then react to fan response to the recent Question of the Day "what is your favorite emotion?"

This week Boredwalk co-founder Meredith sat down with Gabe Sanchez from Boredwalk's content team to discuss muddling along in our dystopian hellscape, freshly baked bad behavior in her personal life, and recent positive and negative feedback from customers and internet trolls, respectively. They then read and react to fan responses to the Question of the Day "what's your 'no good deed goes unpunished' story?" As you can imagine, it led to some truly bonkers stories. Our takeaway?

The Boredwalk Podcast Episode 202: Art Theft Gaslighting

The Boredwalk Podcast ·

2024/01/25

Meredith and Tess discuss unhinged people who steal other artists' work only to claim THEY are the aggrieved party. It happens way more often than you might think! Next up is a dispatch from the land of trolls, which is never a dull moment! A special twist this week is their professed concern for our souls, which seems both well-meaning but also invasive. This week's Question of the Day was "which song immediately transports you back to a happy time of your life?" Lots of fun answers that run the

Meredith regales Tess with her recounting of the brawl that broke out in her driveway between two grown-ass men over a fender bender last week! Tess then laments the battery of social obligations she is slogging through following the holidays, Meredith anticipates the arrival of her in-laws, and both of them express exasperation at everyone's generally terrible behavior. They then move on to check in with the social media trolls, who never fail to amaze. In this week's installment of The Week In

Tess and Meredith celebrate the 200th episode of the podcast! They discuss the recent break-in and burglary at our offices and the motivations of male criminals compared to those of female criminals, but Meredith reserved the bulk of her ire for AT&T. They are the worst! They move on to this week's Troll Comment Champion, who, like many internet trolls, assumes everything on the internet is both a sincere documentary (and not a secret second thing like a tongue-in-cheek comedy sketch) and should

Boredwalk co-founder Meredith and Boredwalk content creator Tess discuss Tess's ailing kitty Jasper's recent tummy troubles and Meredith's foster cat menagerie. So many cats to help, so little time! Meredith also talks a bit about the new products Boredwalk has in store for 2024, holiday plans (or lack thereof), and the great job Boredwalk's operations staff did getting stuff shipped out quickly this season. Huzzah! Tess then shares a review from customer Danielle regarding her new copy of

In a bittersweet episode, Boredwalk co-founder Matt bids farewell to Josh Patton from Boredwalk's content team. Apparently making funny videos wearing cool shirts is not as compelling as Josh's plan to become a superpowered grasshopper who farms cannabis and moonlights as the President of the United States. Dream big if you're going to dream at all! They then discuss the cognitive dissonance of people who get upset that creators usually have jobs making content for multiple brands in order to make

They also discuss the pathetic misogynists hiding behind Instagram handles — how tough and alpha of them! — who hate Boredwalk's feminist content and women in general.

If we're able to recover the audio files we'll publish it as soon as possible, but if not just assume it was a laugh riot and be sad it will never be heard. Meredith and Grace talk about Meredith's recent almost-run-in with would-be burglars who half-heartedly attempted to break into our home WHILE SHE WAS THERE WORKING. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY.

As per usual, this week's troll comment is busting at the seams with unprompted misogyny. Meredith and Grace then share their responses to our recent Question of the Day "which

The bad news: he discovered that America's lone beer representation in the pubs there is Coors. We have so much more to offer, Ireland, we swear! He also details his reunion with his pet cats, and we react to a recent review from a happy customer! (And a few unsavory comments from social media trolls — always a fun time.) They also respond

Meredith & Tess chat about the challenges of running Boredwalk when outside vendors seem dead set on thwarting us at every turn, and the sneaky tricks those vendors use to continue behaving badly. Meredith then talks about her impending war against the crickets keeping her from getting a decent night’s sleep. They also react to recent customer reviews and comments from Boredwalk’s social media posts. Turns out lonely frustrated men reflexively hate women on the internet — shocking, we know. This
