Don Tarwin

Will couldn’t be more wrong about giving up ids for ph.

theblobmaster

English is my second language and I definitely know the word besmirch and exude too.

Juno

I feel like the queer people around austin specifically have some sort of passive debuff

Juno

I love that i’m positive Austin reads the patreon comments and will see how devastatingly incorrect he is

Mevludin Jakupi

Gay and English is not even my first language, nevertheless I still know what the word besmirch means.. Austin and his twinks shed such a bad light on us 😫

Sebastien Keefus

I’m gay I know besmirch. Gotta ask some theatre gays.

Mustashee

She was a 25 year old MINOR!

Bethany Wire

I’m gay and know what besmirch means 😭😭

en-vy

besmirch is like a middle school word hello?

Jamie Hauken

I knew what besmirch meant without a doubt before this episode. Watching it did make me slowly second guess whether that word has any meaning at all. I'm asexual. English isn't a language I use in my real life off the internet and I might have learnt the word because Will used it on the podcast before. Please save the gays.

Hailey Dixon

Chat was this the day before Has went on a tear (correctly) about AI and the youths because this explains it

Hailey Dixon

Saying someone “besmirched my good name” and swearing vengeance??? The gayest activity

Lanz Paningbatan

Eloise :]

austin’s paypig story had me clutching my stomach oh my god😭

tim

Dayle O'Leary

No Austin is right, I like light steak from Chipotle but it’s still full price, whereas double meat is extra

Shawn Cullen

Queen bee

This is crazy cause (as a gay man) I think besmirch is such a camp word 😂

GodCilla

I appreciate Hasan making Austin normal... er. About the voice lol. Also I'm bi and I know what besmirched means. I also have a linguistics degree. But I feel like that's a 6th grade reading level word.

Mya Wilkes

I think Will has been mishearing his dad. It's "slaked" your thirst not "slaged"

Michael Low

came here the second Austin's dumbass claimed someone would comment on his side. Besmirched is not a rare word Austin. Read a book.

Jake Feld

Will that shirt is sick as fuck, my mom showed me that movie when I was like 8. It’s been one of my favorite films ever since, it’s so good

Jeziel Lopez

Remember when they said it’d be a longer episode

Sandra Dominelli

bisexual here and I had no fucking clue what besmirched meant

Al

Besmirch is not that crazy of a word….is it? I am straight tho

Bitch

QT should watch benandemilshow.com if she wants news and politics in a digestible way

Leigh Anne Ray

I don't recall anyone I know using that word before but I understood exactly what it meant when it was said. From context and the fact that the word itself sounds like it means that? I'm bi so I think half knowing checks out.

Vanessa Kleinheinz

I‘m bisexual, english is my second language and I know what besmirch means

André Twupack

Why is the video on the RSS feed and not the audio post? It seems to work but I do not know if that maybe causes more data transferred to people listening through a pod catcher.

Kayla

im a lesbian who knows what besmirched means

Ashton H

i’m queer and i know what besmirch means

Dylan Troyer

Wills dad is 94??? I assumed my parents at 74-80 were old. Sweet , there are still some older oldies.

DarkCynda

Olivia Davis

also i am so with hasan on the ai thing, i have never touched chatgpt but it has become so normalized. luckily taking ap classes in high school meant my peers refrained from using it as well but it's a crutch for many others..

Olivia Davis

i'm a lesbian and my name is not besmirched because i know what it means

CescoRose

Trans bisexual guy here, Besmirched is like a standard word to me I hear and use it so much?? Same with Sate. Austin's whole thing about these being crazy words was so funny to me.

David Johnson

David Johnson

Hasan stole one of my good obscure words, lugubrious. God help me if he takes hebetudinous as well

Wynter Rose

Wait, is Fear& the reason why I’m on the pay pig side of TikTok? I’ve been trying to figure out how I ended up on that side. I will admit the longer I’m on it the more I’m thinking it’s worth it. Pay for my mom’s bills throughout her cancer journey.

kingbigmac

Banger ep

Abdallh Bder

Best episode, this is literally Austin's Podcast and friends.

Ashar Saleem

Broke pay pig is begging for a Seinfeld episode. Kramer puts George onto a new way to make money but George finds the only broke pay pig in the world

Just Valor

bruh , im (32 M) Greek , i have attended a total of 4 years of English classes , i know English from movies, music and gaming my whole life. I've known what besmirch means for ages. But i guess im straight so it doesnt count right?

xj

Jarrod

everyone knows besmirch lol

Chatters_Mom

So, last week we were promised extra time 🙄 😂

enoch

The thing is, ‘besmirch’ as a word is so camp. Like, that’s a gay-ass, dramatic fucking word. I think Mr. Show doesn’t know it because he’s actually straight, and now he’s trying to convince everyone who does know the word that they are too.

enoch

same here

Carmnsndiego

time to start reading books, Austin. besmirch is very common lol

Seb

im queer and idk what that means

AJ

There is a short story called “The Machine Stops” that talks about what happens to people when they become to reliant on a piece of technology and it’s very relevant re the AI convo

Im bisexual and English is my 3rd language and i know the word “besmirch” means too, srry austin 😭😭

Hisham

I'm Eritrean who was born and lived all my life in Saudi Arabia my whole life and i still knew the word "besmirch", English is my third language

blulem0n

Why does Austin keep getting scammed on Fansly

Atticus

They use it for what? AI is not inherently bad. It sucks for things like art but for the most part can be useful in many fields.

Haven

As a sex worker, it’s so funny listening to Austin’s experience selling 😂

slychicken45

On the thing with AI at the end, Neil schusterman has a fantastic book series that essentially talks about this it's called Arc Of A Scythe Series 10/10 recommed

Renee

Literally working in city govt rn in Philly and my coworkers (peers who are fresh college grads like me, all use chat gbt) so scary and I feel so outnumbered for being anti AI as a 'young professional'

Elle Handloser

NHK Bro

I am Straight. I know what besmirch means, but I probably wouldn't use it casually. I love Will's way of speaking, and it's heartwarming that he gets it from his dad.

Rue

It’s actually disappointing how many gays in these comments don’t know what besmirch means, but I guess trans women were always smarter

Tom Freeman

It’s “slake” for quenching your thirst

Aleana Rain

Im gay and I never heard of the word besmirch lmao

a human

The others telling QT Atlantis isn't real but no one told will the hanging gardens of Babylon also weren't real... (This next bit is from memory so forgive me if I'm wrong) Also, a common misconception about the burning of the Library of Alexandria is that the entire library burnt down and that was the end of its existence, however it's still unclear to us how much actually went down with the fire and we do know that it continued operating after the fire. The most likely reason that what was once there was mostly lost was probably due to lack of preservation and neglect over the years. Although the library was impressive, I would say its story has been wildly dramatised and the burnings actual significance in 'setting humanity back' has been blown out of proportion.

laura

lol when qt said ‘maybe austin’s gays are dumb’ those were my exact thoughts too 😭

LordeofClover777

I was coming here to say the same thing!

inventivefish

Austin I knew what besmirch was in the 5th grade (american to Australia school system may differ)

Chris

Same here, fellow Oregonian. That he should besmirch the Patreon watchers like this. For shame!

hayeszs

i’m a straight trans man and i do not know what besmirched means. making me gay in the biological sense. i also consider myself more gay than straight despite only being attracted to woman

cleoauuur

happy 2 years to the most underrated podcast

NoLifer445

I didn't know QT had a hoe phase. Cool.

Sydney Swaim

Beshmirch theory doesn't work on lesbians

alysiamariaaa

Sea Bass

I do indeed know what besmirch means

Mushy Muffin

houston is sinking, we will be the new atlantis

Gerz

Can u guys tell prezoh to unblock me on Twitter for saying he could win a look alike contest for Barry Keoghan. While I do hate that guy I love prezoh and I meant no disrespect even though it was funny. Also I called him a gay boy which I can see why he would find that offensive as he doesn't know who I am but again ur honor I think it was funny

Sam

im gay and unfortunately did not know what besmirch meant ... i had to google just how to spell it

Briana

“I was sitting next to a guy on this thing that goes up in the air”

Elijah

Straight reporting for duty: I do in fact know what besmirched means

Chipz

I know the word besmirched but I could understand not knowing it at the top of my head

TheeDiego

I’m gay and knew what besmirched means so now I’m conflicted….

MultiMayhem

I'm bi and NGL I forgot what besmirched meant. If I was reading it in context yeah I know what it meant. Or if you said it like how Caroline did.

Julianne C

straight and I didn’t know what besmirch means

Heather James

I’m straight and in my 37 years of living I’ve never heard that word before lol 🫶🏻🤗

Swedish Malin

Loved both eps, so funny!! Bi woman here, I know besmirched and English is not an official language in my country. I read a lot though.

kron

I didn't know what besmirch means. Also Austin is 100% a service top, and I believe he's moving to L.A. very soon. Btw Austin if you see this can you plz reply to me on Fansly?

Salem

Brady

Male man-liker here and I absolutely know ‘besmirched’ thank u very much

Carlos

Purebred homosexual killed me

biabaer

Will, please write the screenplay!! That would be a great movie!

Jessy W

Fellow Oregon gay, I know what besmirch means.

TD91

A Straight reporting in: I know what besmirched means but I also have graduate degrees in English literature so there's that. I also think that it is genuinely a more literary term that has been eclipsed by the words "slander" and "libel" in contemporary legal contexts. The word besmirched has a more moral or ethical context (like referring to polite society and the ruining of a person's ethical reputation) which we might see get revived for historical fictional movies. You almost have to use it partially ironically in everyday conversation today, or else it can sound weirdly out of place.

Heron Garrett

Not knowing besmirch surprised me but not knowing evocative shocked me. It’s not like it’s old fashioned slang. These are such normal words. I know a lot of young people are barely literate due to phones/computers, covid, AI, etc but Austin? What’s happening lol

EmJem

No one appreciating Will's joke at 45:04 made me so sad lmao

Bij

Hasan's face when Austin said he doesn't know what evocative means is so me lmfaoooo holy shit

Sean Pikus

Straight reporting in: Besmirch is a word I learned in middle school for a vocab word.

Julie Clites

You guys could probably get Damien Haas from Dungeon Meshi on the pod...

Gempetal

This pan person listened to fantasy audiobooks as a child, so I definitely know besmirch

Bij

We’ve all heard the word besmirch before Austin I’m sorry lol edit: nvm sorry, im straight as fuck

Ann Askew

im a lesbian and i have never heard that word before in my 25 years of living ❤️

Julian

There’s a short story called “The Machine Stops” that explores a future where people really on AI for everything, even to make conversation. It covers many of Hasan’s fears. It is a good read if you’re interested, but poorly written imo

Caexar

Austin is my goat.

Bij

Hold on.. salt and pepper can be pretty young still. my brother is 35 and he's got some greys coming in and I'm 30 and already once divorced lmaoo

Hannah Gray

Bonester

Did Mr Will Nefferson just say he slegged his thirst instead of slaked?

CompetitiveTaichi

Hasan being the friend that’s too woke and talked to Austin and he retired his rajj accent is actually wholesome

isabeya!

as a lesbian, i have no fucking clue what besmirched is

Carlos Ciudad-Real

He absolutely did

Dylan Myslicki

For the poll- I am a Cishet male and I do know what besmirched means 😂

Ptheo

Cishet Male here, besmirched is a very common word, then again I read fantasy and play Dungeons and Dragons.

N A

RE: Justin Baldoni/Lively - I think it's a case of 'Hollywood sucks, power dynamics are fucked', and I don't think Lively and co. expected a less powerful/less known member of the industry to stand up to them, and then things got WAY out of hand. I really hate this inaccurate 'misogyny' narrative that, in this case, is being used to deflect from the actual facts of the situation.

Punda 05

Im bi and have absolutely no idea what besmirch means. I didn’t even know how to write it, I had to copy it from another comment

Rebecca Stewart

LordOfTeas

Breno Bezerra Bluhm

All time great patreon episode. Austin getting mote vindicated with each call was an all timer 😂😂😂

Done

Gay and know besmirched… wth Austin

Kyle

18:39 HASAN IS WEARING A DIAPER

Alan Alcaraz

Zoolander’s Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good would be a good idea for Austin’s Gays

PrimzahlWizard

Based on this podcast, if you are subbed to Austin’s fansly you should 100% be haggling his rates for what you get

Alan Alcaraz

I second this as a gay who reads

Axl_F

Did Austin sign off with "Penis"?

Aleisha B.

Pansexual here~ I've heard the word before but had zero clue what it meant.

VEEPEE

sp00kii

As a bisexual that works in a bookstore I kinda knew the context but not fully

Brittany Jordan

Austin everyone knows besmirched

mentallygrowing247

QT would truly be the best at humiliating men on fansly. She's gotta get in there.

tybahza

I'm dying because im Pan and only half knew what besmirched meant 😭

wimpy

knowing the word besmirched has nothing to do with being gay or straight, im bisexual yet i knew the word and many more because im a reader, its more to do with austin not reading as many books or news articles as hasan or will.

Courtney Fretwell

I'd wear the QT cinderella For the streets merch

Devan

"Are there any pure bred's around you" I'm cryinnnnnn, that whole segment had me

Adoggman

GOAT episode, might have to become an LGBT foe after Austin besmirched the reputation of gays everywhere though

Anna Weronika Zdrojewska

I'm bi and speaking english as my second language, I know what besmirch means. Mostly due to my partner's wildly vast vocabulary (he's bi too).

bator

i know besmirch cuz of word smart for SAT prep as ESL

Kyle Lewis

I just found out I'm actually not gay. I'm straight now I guess 😅

Blake

I'm sorry Austin... I think this has far more to do with the gays you hang out with, not gay people in general lol. Signed, a gay man that knows what besmirch means lol.

Eduardo Alpizar

Why does every Austin story have same structure and morality of a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode.

Leroy Nance

Queer person in a straight relationship- i have never heard bismurch in my life

Vepkhia

I’m bi and non binary

Vepkhia

Austin only you don’t know besmirch

Signspace

Eh, ESL definitely gets a pass on "Besmirched", I think them asking Austin whether he reads books is the key here. I would expect a native English speaker to have read SOME books in English, especially school books (like To Kill a Mockingbird etc.), and have encountered the word besmirch(ed) before, so not knowing it is kinda sad.

SleepyDog

Gay here, I know what besmirched means

Jordan

I’m a bi woman and I know what besmirched means!

Mclovinmundo

Austin self-besmirches every episode

I'm an ESL trans lesbian and I knew the word besmirch since I was like 22

MartyTheMilkman

I'm bi and had no idea what besmirched meant.

Great ep, the pay pig bit had me dying. If you guys have guest eps to schedule you should have gianmarco the comedian on! I’d love to see more comedian guests in general 😊

victor vega

I’ve never heard of besmirched in my life.

BasedGoomy

Here as a gay to break stereotypes and confirm that I do know the meaning of the word Besmirch.

David Yanez Lopez

Austin doing anti-gay propaganda for half the Patreon episode was definitely a choice lmao

angel

This was the best week of fear &

Signspace

Oh god, the bisexual guy that got it "half right" almost killed me with laughter, I'm crying.

aj

Damn that ending made me never want to touch chat gpt again, I feel very existential rn

Alex18000655506

Austin: "What does robust mean? Must be a straight word" LOL

K

I know what besmirched means, but I'm not gay so 😬

Juan Fernandez

I think we need a weekly word of the day for Austin on the pod

Signspace

I, a straight man, knew what besmirched meant.

Reen B

a white man going through life without a robust vocabulary…

Jay

Will, he doesn't know the meaning of besmirched and you hit him with Rolodex!? 😂

Ema MR

I feel like I say this every we, but truly one of the funniest episodes ever

VeePrix

besmirch is such a common word T-T it means something like to slander someone "he besmirched his name doing this"

Austin Miller

piazaria

english is not even my first language and i knew the word besmirched

WompWomp

The new gay test is asking if someone knows the word besmirch. lol.

Jelle Teck

As a non native speaker, I'm baffled Austin besmirched the erudite aura of the Fear& podcast.

Matt Miller

The Justin Baldoni vs Blake Lively case is really messy because both sides are really trying to have the case settled by public opinion before it reaches the court room. I think to a degree that both sides are telling the truth, Baldoni is essentially saying he was kicked out of his film and lost all creative control to her, and Lively is saying that she was in an unsafe work environment and after calling him and his team out on it he retaliated by orchestrating a smear campaign. There's a bunch of other things like the Taylor Swift and other celebrities being her dragons or people just didn't like her already, that are being pushed out there to make the case more complicated. I don't think we will ever truly have an accurate understanding of what happened.
