Wait what's the Ken jennings part?! -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 3, 19:03 7
- They do a podcast together. - Tim Jan 3, 19:08 4
  - Holy shit. What is jeopardy saying? -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 3, 19:12 3
    - I've seen nothing since people dug up an ableist tweet Ken made a few years back. - Tim Jan 3, 19:13 2
      - He deleted his accounts but the nasty stuff has been screengrabbed. -- nm - loosilu Jan 3, 19:14 1
        
        that's Roderick. Jennings is still active. -- nm - mafic Jan 3, 19:20
- he co-hosts a podcast with him. -- nm - Reagen Jan 3, 19:07
- he ate beans with this is my takeaway -- nm - Beaker Jan 3, 19:04
I'm... sort of unsurprised? no problem with the bean dad part. I'm sure the kid's fine. the old tweets tho, Roderick's always been a bit of a dick. -- nm - mafic Jan 3, 18:50
Is Jennings getting any blowback from hosting a show with him? Will I need to vet Tim and Reagen? I suspect one of them is Canadian. -- nm - Mop Jan 3, 18:42 3
- I saw references to “Bean Dad” and was unaware it was John Roderick, who I only know of due to an association with John Hodgman. -- nm - Tim Jan 3, 19:01 1
  - "It's Time to Play Six Degrees of John Hodgman and Jon Bois, with your host Tim Br... Tim!" -- nm - Reagen Jan 3, 19:08
- not really? he's basically said "Roderick's a good guy." and that's about it. -- nm - mafic Jan 3, 18:48
