Why is this audio file so long?
The time from the last word of the statement to the last second of the track totals 8 minutes and 46 seconds.

8 minutes and 46 seconds doesn't sound like a long time until you are confronted with just how long it can drag on.

8 minutes and 46 seconds is how long it took to end George Floyd's life.

At the Scavengers Network, we support the nationwide protests against police brutality; because Black Lives Matter. It is not enough to simply be “not racist”. You must be anti-racist. This is not a matter of “differing politics” nor is it something that is up for debate. This is about human and civil rights.

We must make Black voices heard.

Amplify and listen to Black voices. We have always been committed to using our platform to raise others up, and do what is right. Please, join us.

Happy Scramble Week 2020! This week Max and Beth get to take the day off and let Erin King and Raeanna Larson from Wet Hot American Moon Juice drive. They’re talking about Homestar Runner, that bizarre-yet-loveable early-2000s (and beyond!) Flash animation website that spawned such beloved pop culture references as TROGDOR THE BURNINATOR and COME ON FHQWHGADS.

This is less of an episode about early 2000s digital pet website Neopets and more of a deep look into Beth's psyche and what Internet experiences have made her into the deeply troubled human being she is today. Also, we will Venmo you $20 if you can hack into her Neopets account. Seriously.

Today we're talking about the one fandom to unite all AUs: His Dark Materials.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Aya's audio cuts out at around 1:04:06 and cuts back at around 1:15:31. Don't worry! She was still there! But audio gremlins attacked as they sometimes do.

We're wired in today to talk about Beth's favorite movie and one of her favorite fandoms, The Social Network. Yes, that one. Aya Lehman joins us to talk about the fandom's unlikeliness, its notable works, and whether or not real person fiction is harmful or not. Plus there's a GAME. We're really pulling out all the stops for this one.
