Are they being discriminated for being straight?? I DON'T GET IT

"They're never going to do Crisis on Infinite Bang Bangs"

"It was just a throwaway teaser that Shaun made, never going to actually happen"

"Scott backed out and now scheduling is too difficult"

Well well well, episode 4 was released today. All you Theo Vons can pretend that you never doubted, but I remember. Don't bother commenting on this thread with your excuses because I don't wanna hear it!

Hopefully he stuck with music if you know what I mean...

Making this post mostly to see if there's anyone out there who can say "that sounds familiar." This horrible condition has been a mystery to me for 10+ years. I was diagnosed with Crohn's about 15 years ago, and have had consistent gastrointestinal troubles - but the crazy thing is my skin/ears/eyes.

It first happened about 10 years ago, and lasted for ~2 years before suddenly going away. Now it's back with a vengeance and landed me in the hospital.

My skin is itchy and dry all over, but my head/neck area becomes incredibly rash-y and inflamed ("elephant skin" my mom calls it.) Then there's the discharge - constant clear or yellow discharge bursting out of my wherever possible. My ears fill up with discharge. My eyes get gunked up and matted shut. The skin all over my head/face/neck starts to blister and leak pus.

This time is much more severe; it started with sudden massive swelling my eye lid, completely shut like a boxer after a fight. After a week in the hospital and all kinds of antibiotics, the swelling has gone down 90%, but that last 10% is staying there. My blurry/double vision has not only failed to recover, but has spread to my other eye.

I'm quickly becoming scared that this is going to end up with me losing my vision permanently - and I can't get any help.

The first time this happened, I saw no less than 15 doctors, took every test, and never got a diagnosis or treatment. Now I'm in the same boat, and it's worse, and the doctors are still only interested in passing me off to another doctor who will inevitably do the same thing. No one knows, and no one wants to know. And I can't afford to keep guessing, financially or emotionally.

Has anyone heard of "extraintestinal manifestations" like these?

Some other podcasters like to cast nasty aspersions about The Boys, and they'll often use the Tucker Carlson method of plausible deniability - "I'm just asking the question" type sh!t. Insinuating that they are some kind of unknowable, Kaufman-esque provocateurs.

IT'S SICKENING. There's plenty of proof on the internet that they're actually just nice boys.

Any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated. I'm me, I have a close friend, let's call her "Starburst." Starburst and I are both big comedy nerds and listen to a lot of the same comedy podcasts (mostly shows that are hosted by friends of HH.)

After I recently "got it" and became obsessed with The Boys, I discovered that she severely dislikes their work. I suppose she's been scared off by some of their appearances on other podcasts. I tried explaining that they're actually very sweet and handsome boys, and that the show is funny if you listen to it, but she didn't seem convinced.

She's not a bad person, she just needs guidance. How do I gently and respectfully help my friend correct this error?
