Highly recommend a listen if you haven't already! Also I hope this is an appropriate place to post this 🍑

Hi everyone!

I see a lot of posts reminiscing about the old days of The Chris Gethard Show, Chris' recent projects and wondering how the community has been doing.

If you fell off the TCGS train a while ago and found yourselves back here on Reddit to check in, hi! It's nice to see you! If you're looking for where the Gethard fan community ended up, we're still here! We now live primarily on Discord, which you can join right here where we still keep the spirit of Gethard alive even though there is no show to rally around at this time.

Planet Scum is a friendly community which Vice.com had once called "extremely, almost obscenely positive." We're a bunch of Geth fans that range from old, original fans to newer fans of some of Geth's other projects that have been popping up here and there. We have a lot of community get-togethers such as a Movie Night every Monday at 8, Gethard show rewatches every Sunday and Wednesday night, a Karaoke show on Saturdays, a bunch of channels for discussing just about anything and very funny and friendly community members, all fans of the stuff Geth does.

Some quick facts, if anyone is interested

After TCGS ended its run on TruTV, Geth started a new MNN and twitch streaming show called Chris Gethard Presents, the entirety of which can be watched right here on YouTube. 36 episodes where Geth gives an up-and-coming comedian friend an hour to put on whatever kind of show they want. Familiar faces such as Riley Soloner, Robby Hoffman, Mary Houlihan and others have amazing episodes. I recommend "Fancy Ones," a call-in choose your own adventure stream.

In March of 2020, New York locked down and Gethard shifted to Twitch streaming. He launched the flagship show Planet Scum Live on Wednesday nights in which a different comedian or comedian friends of his would join him on Twitch to shoot the shit. You can find episodes with Bobby Moynihan, Sarah Sherman, Chris Farren, Jeff Rosenstock and more in this YouTube playlist

Inspired by the One Man's Trash episode of TCGS, after 14 live streams, Gethard appeared alone on the stream one night and held up a box, requesting that the twitch chat call in and guess what is in the box. Because he did not want anyone to be able to go back and check on things that were already guessed, Chris ordered that no record of these shows exist online to make the game harder. This simple prompt began in July of 2020 and, through a series of incredible twists and turns, ended up going until [A Pickle Guessed 75 Items across three boxes and won over $10k] (https://youtu.be/q6WlFHq0jBA?si=vICtCeOLwVmf9g_k) in December of 2021. For more information on this, feel free to ask anyone in the discord. We may even have some of the forbidden episodes to show.

Aside from Planet Scum Live and The Box Game, Geth opened up the network to his comedian friends which resulted in a streaming game show with Martin Urbano (now writing for Fallon), an advice show with Robby Hoffman (now super famous and only getting more famous, A saturday morning talk show with Riley Soloner (vacation jason) and many other shows. You can find out more on the Wikipedia page.

Perhaps the most notable Planet Scum Live network show is The George Lucas Talk Show, originally a UCB stage show, it pivoted to streaming during pandemic on Sunday nights and became a runaway hit. Connor Ratliff, Griffin Newman and Patrick Cotnoir interview celebrity guests from your favorite Twitter comedians to heavy hitters like Weird Al, Paul F Tompkins, Kevin Smith and even Whoopi Goldberg. You owe it to yourself to check out GLTS if you haven't already. They are still making shows as of today.

If you are wondering about anything else Geth has been doing since TCGS ended, feel free to come by Discord and chat us up. We love reminiscing about the old days and love hanging with other Geth fans as he tends to appeal to groups of people who are generally nice and funny and a good hang.

tl;dr: Geth kept doing stuff after TCGS and most of it is available online. If you still want more, join our Discord!

I guess I don't really know what this sub does these days since I'm a whole decade late but watching the shows is making me pine for a community, since Chris addresses emotional states so straightforwardly, I'd like to be part of a place where I can address my feelings and then expect comedy etc.

Who here misses going to Mnn, getting dressed up, and floating from table to table mingling and eating god knows what?

I really miss that so much.

Sandwich night, rip.

I accidently deleted my entire youtube watch history. Needless to say, the suggested videos got real random.

Somehow TCGS episodes started popping up. I ignored them at first, and then gave one a try.

Holy shit! I haven’t lol’d as lound at home alone in a loooong time.

Watching them having weird unhinged fun being themselves couldn’t have come to me at better time. This year has been kinda rough for me. TCGS is an amazing salvo and escape from reality I needed. I’m on episode 70.

If only we could turn back the clock to the MNN studio and watch some tapings live.

Just got done listening to Lose Well on Audible, which was also really really positive for my head state. The audiobook has some really interesting bonus interviews.

Because he's playing in Portland tonight... and the venue is promoting it by using that clip of Chris on the Conan O'Brien show talking about wanting Anklepants for the 1st TruTV episode... but did it ever happen?

EDIT: here's the clip - tbh, not mad that this pops up in my feed multiple times a day - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4U6bwVblAIU

And when are we getting another season of Cash or Trash with those guys from that podcast?

I can only seem to find episodes 1-16 on the Google play store, anyone know where the rest could be watched? Thanks!
