Or another title could be "Brad Shoemaker:A Fair Drinking Game."

I feel like if i took a shot of whiskey every time Brad said "that's fair" inside of a typical bombcast runtime, I'd be 8 or 10 shots in and be pretty wasted. Is so much of the discussion really so fair? Is anything even unfair? When Jeff punches Paul in Tekken with his button-mapped fists, is it really fair?

I feel like right now I can't remember what fair means anymore, but in the last few 'casts Brads declaration of so many things as fair is quite startling.

Could someone maybe do a Bradhead gif featuring the scales of justice?

Yeah I noticed that too. Whoever emailed in a while back about overused phrases and whatnot needs to write back in with an amendment.

I never noticed that... huh. To be fair, it's ostensibly Brad just doing Brad things. And Brad things are definitely a thing. Something something "hot garbage". And whatever constant turn of phrase Vinny has that I can't think of off-hand.

I have started to notice that when Jeff is about to summarize his thoughts, he always starts with a variation of "Well, whatever", though. So that's a thing. A fair thing. ...

...

Ostensibly.

"If that makes sense?".

Yes, it does, Brad. Every single time.

But yeah, would be very strange if you WOULDN'T at some stage use the same frases over and over again when you feature in as much public content as the ol' B.

And we don't see this part because they don't do video podcasts, but Brad is balancing everything in the room on his head while this exchange happens.

Huh. Well, whatever that's, like, fair, I guess.

I wish, like, I didn't pick up on how often everyone says 'like' in their sentences on all things GB related, it's, like, a much more potentially lethal drinking game to, like, take a shot every time you notice it.

There's a lot of scuttlebutt around whether this is fair or not. But that's fair.

Hahaha so true. The "I haven't confirmed it yet" part of the podcast is my favorite part because it makes the previous 5 minutes of discussion pointless.

Something I've only ever heard on this site, and mostly from Brad and Jeff, "I'll be curious to see..."

You will be curious to see? You're not now? You are predicting that your curiosity will peak later? WHAT DOES IT MEAN.

Noticed this a while ago and it has become hilarious.

Every statement Brad has ever made on this site, he has redacted 5 seconds later.

Aww come on, where is the meta conversation summary where his opinion/observation is presented, another person comments on a facet of it with a slight rebuffing and he says something like, "well that's what I was trying to say/get at?"

Another fun Brad game is take a drink every time he stresses the L in a word. For example, yo-L-k or whi-L-e.

I mean, to be fair, Mario Party has been known to turn decent men into complete animals, so it could be worse.

I say "like" a lot during conversations as well (and it just happens when I'm trying to link thoughts in my head mid-sentence) but when I write/type, converse or comment in text form such as what I'm doing now or in a forum thread, I rarely use it as an expression.

Does anyone have a handy link to the Bombcast where somebody calls Brad out for saying "...Huh" a lot, and then he does it almost immediately? It's solid gold.

Brad does say fair a lot. That's okay though, everybody has their quirks. Brads gonna Brad.

Add when Jeff says "It's one of those things where...". I never noticed it until someone on the boards pointed it out and he really does say that all the time.

I still love Jeff though. I still love Jeff.

Yes, it's certainly a Brad ass Brad thing.

I'm still doing drinks everytime Dan says "I'll take that". They're frustration drinks.

Becoming aware of how many people use "like" in every day conversation is excruciating. I think people form that habit at a young age and never realize there are other ways to link sentences or thoughts together. Usually the best way is to take a breath and gain your thoughts in your head.

Is it for better or worse?

These sort of things are only a problem once you've listened to people talk for years about similar topics. I find it's best to take a break once every sentence feels like a catchphrase.

The thing to think about is how much you yourself are infuriating other people with the particular repetitive patterns of speech you use, but that they don't bother to point out because you're not a public figure and they don't really give a shit to make the effort.

Linguistically, compared to me and most people I know, the GB duders are doing a fair job. Fair to good, I'd say.
