Does Vinny always seem to give bad advice on the Beastcast?

Is it just me, and this might be an unpopular opinion, but does Vinny always seem to give really bad advice to people on the giant beast cast?

example?

Context would be helpful.

Vinny is pretty much the MOST voice of reason. Not sure what you're referring to.

Hmm I can't remember the exact episode but the giant beast cast crew was offering advice to a social anxious person who had a coworker offer to build a gaming PC for them but the person was thinking the coworker expecting to be friended or to play games with them, and so vinny offered the advice to after he gets the built PC and ruin it so as to dissolve any friendmilur intent or something like that

That sounds more like something Dan would say.

@ztshp: you are aware he was joking right?

@ztshp: Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was joking.

@ztshp He was joking. You can hear it in his tone of voice. And, and this is my 2 rupees, they preface any actual solid advice with their own life experiences, so take it with a grain of salt.

Vinny is great at advice. It sounds like you're having a hard time working out when he's giving advice and when he's making a joke.

I advise assuming that, if you think the advice being given is really bad, it's a joke and try to read it in that light. It'll probably help.

To be fair, that whole email about the friendly coworker wanting to build the guy a computer was bizarre, because why was that ever a problem in the first place.

Vinny's the best in business, really.

"First step to a healthy relationship? make sure you have more shit on the other person than they have on you"

Idk, Vinny's advice seems pretty great to me

In the sole example you provided, he was joking. So for now, I'm going to say that yes, it's just you.

Best. Advice. Ever.

Edit: Also, OP, as everyone else has said; that one example is a joke. I haven't even heard it, and I get that it's a joke, based on the stupidness of the advice alone.

Yeah, Vinny always almost does a goof in the advice segments - but he also has some of the best advice around. Just gotta listen to his tone.

I understand where they were coming from - he just felt awkward about explaining to the guy that he wasn't interested in playing games together. I know sometimes people can get enthusiastic and keep messaging you saying, "Hey let's play together!" and it can feel a little embarrassing to shut them down, especially if they've just done something nice for you like helping to build a PC.

Vinny doesn't give bad advice, but he receives it.

VINNY, BUY A RACING WHEEL.

So you titled the thread with "always" but only gave one example that you couldn't remember. There has to be more examples for of pattern advice. I agree with the rest, you are not picking up on Vinny being funny or sarcastic.

Vinny is usually the one who gives the best advice actually. Like that time someone said he had the whole weekend free and Vinny suggested that instead of playing videogames all weekend he should clean the house and do something nice for his wife.

When he's not giving good advices he's just joking and it's more than obvious when that's the case.

Evil Vinny is the best Vinny.

Sometimes he gives joke bad advice but usually I think he's pretty spot on.

It may be important to keep in mind that this podcast is for entertainment and not necessarily a Dear Annie column or a professional medical podcast. Or....? Maybe I'm missing something?

This is either a troll topic, or OP has no idea what he's talking about.

those aren't mutually exclusive.

Nice click-bait.

Papa Vinny would never steer you wrong.

I've never remembered any particularly bad advice from Vinny. Now Dan on the other hand..

@magmamud: I need to know how many people on these boards dipped oreos into nacho cheese.

Oh dear god OP, please tell me that you are the person who wrote in asking for advice about the coworker building the PC and that you took Vinny's advice seriously and followed it to a T.

If so, I need to hear how this worked out.

@james_ex_machina: I had titled the thread vinny's advice but some how it got changed to a summary of the first post so I did use and absolute as the title but I think the new title has gotten it a lot more attention so I'm glad

@ztshp: I'm assuming you wrote the email, took Vinny's advice, and it went poorly. Can we get some more details how it all blew up for you?

I didn't write the email

If you listen to advice on either the Beastcast or the Bombcast and think "that's the worst advice I've ever heard" then there are 2 possibilities: A) It's obviously a joke or B) Dan is speaking.

Not true at all. I sent an email to the Beastcast asking for some business hints, Vinny told me to invest and so I did. Now I'm good for 10 billion!

^not true.

Time for this to be closed since there is really nothing to back up what you're saying. You struggled to come up with a single example and the one you did provide was clearly a joke. This topic is going nowhere.
