Gabe "Frances 'Baby' Houseman" Mara

I might be hitting a new record today for uttering "MOTHERF--" while in the office.

If my teenage self could see me now, recording Bigfoot footage off the Internet for a living, he'd be amused, then disgusted, then amused, then depressed.

I host a show where famous people talk at length about their interests in order to put you to sleep. In this episode, I sometimes get overly excited about Bigfoot and producer @gabemara.bsky.social has to calm me down.
Todd Stashwick? Awesome guy.

I want to be a plucky flapper im the 1920s out to solve a death ruled a suicide but only I suspect to be a murder.

One day, I will have achieved nirvana and then will I play Dark Souls.

I love organizing book clubs and movie clubs until I have to actually read or watch the damn thing.

I cried when Zoro called Luffy his best friend

ur momma is a rare true dumbo mouse

My Lantern ring would be Disco because I am useless in the daytime, sparkly at night, and easily smashed for album art photography

Alana, we see you and respect you and we hope your wrath is never turned against us. Here's @gabemara.bsky.social and Buggy with the details of our admiration!

Grab a cold drink and learn all about Debi, compliments of (and from) @gabemara.bsky.social!

This one's for you, Jacob. Or maybe: "This one's for you, Big Guy"? We'll let @gabemara.bsky.social and Buggy decide.

We're still getting settled but wanted to give you a look at our new studio. Thanks to everyone who participated in our moving sale (closes today, so last chance: maximumfun.org/movingday)! We're so excited to have this nice space and as you can hear, hosts who record here are pumped about it, too!

Watching live performances of singers in the 70s and 80s are wild because they can just fuckin' sing, man.

I was scarred when Michelle Branch's performance of Game of Love on TRL was not up to snuff.

Sorry, Michelle.

A little black and white dog with a hot pink sweatshirt sits in Gabe's lap while Gabe does producer stuff

When you work out of a cafe, no one can hear you sigh.

I wonder what the far-right thinks about Indiana Jones. One of our manliest man action adventure heroes punching Nazis into propeller blades, written and directed by Jewish men.

When I am in a pit, I will stay in bed for as long as I'm allowed to, sometimes for days. I get up only to feed and walk the dog, once again proving that my baby boi is more precious to me than life itself.

Craig Robinson in Brooklyn Nine-Nine maybe?

@gabemara.bsky.social is a producer here at MaxFun, and works on TV Chef Fantasy League and @sleepwithcelebs.bsky.social. And he has a message for Celia!

If you'd like an overly-specific compliment from MaxFun staff, and help us with our move too, go to maximumfun.org/movingday and nab one for $10!

I'm creating a new super hero named Come On Man, but I can't decide if his power should be:

1. Encouraging others to do a thing

2. Reproaching others for a perceived failure

3. A third, vulgar thing

I have never watched an episode of 'Stranger Things' not for any moral or philosophical reason, but because every time I found myself at loose ends there was some other more interesting show to check out

I get the impression that Hayao Miyazaki would decimate me with one dismissive look.

I learned all my swag from Stefan Urquelle.

One of the benefits of being the dominant group is that there are no words that can meaningfully act as a slur against you.

I propose that we start using "white guy" as a pejorative for condescending and entitled behavior.

Ex: Todd, stop explaining the Godfather to her. Don't be such a white guy.

I run two separate cozy jazz and rainy ambient Youtube videos because the cozy jazz channels never have enough rain ambience and the rain ambience channels never have enough cozy jazz.

Hollow Knight is bland and boring and about bugs. Blasphemous is riddled with detailed and horrifying images of Spanish Catholicism and is about giant bloody heads n shit.
And Touhou Luna Nights just straight up fucks.
I will now take questions.

I stayed up half the night writing misery-porn porn-porn hentai manga Metamorphosis fanfic about how she turns her life around, gets an office manager job, and raises her sweet daughter with endless love and support because I believe that hope exists everywhere including in groady manga porn

Wow! Lying in bed in the dark in the thick of a depression while listening to Pink Floyd is almost like being drunk!

Almost!

I want to buy a Chinese butcher knife to use for cooking and absolutely not for revenge against those who have sinned against my elders.

Luckily for me, it's green onions who sinned against my elders. And their IBS.
