Indefinite Hiatus

Hey, everyone!

So I have been thinking for a while about doing this, and I have decided that I will be taking an indefinite hiatus from this blog. I’ve been running this account since 2016, and I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the memories and great people I encountered while being here, but I think the fandom on Tumblr has thinned out, and I no longer feel the need to continue posting on here for the time being.

That being said, I still love interacting with you all, so I will routinely check for asks/submissions that I will be glad to answer or post like I have been doing lately; however, I will not be posting anything of my own from now on. I will be more active on my main blog @laterhader if any of the content I post there interests you!

In short, thank you for the love and kindness you all have shown me and this blog over the past five years. I never thought I would have amassed 4,000+ followers! I am proud and grateful to have been a part of this wonderful community of IJ fans, and I will always remember the friends I made here.

Sincerely,

@impracticaljokers ❤️

Desperate to find that WSY you and another anon mentioned, “— and Sal was talking about how if his girlfriend gained weight he would still love her the same and he asked Q and he said he wouldn’t love her anymore.” If anyone or you have this episode number, let me know! Id also appreciate just numbers you think it may be near to or the year, thanks so much.

Hey! I’m sorry to say that I have literally no idea what episode they had this conversation in. I haven’t listened to the podcast in probably over five years. I tried looking online everywhere too, but no luck. If anyone else happens to know or has a guess, please let me know for this anon! Again, so sorry I couldn’t be of help!

Hi I've been a fan of the jokers since 2018, they got me through bad depressive periods but finding out that not only is Joe a womanizing cheating creep (the fact he cheated when Besssie was pregnant is disgusting) but Q is a misogynistic hypocritical pig disappoints me so much. I still love Murr and Sal (I really hope nothing will come out about them to change that) but I'm done with the show. I can't watch Q and Joe the same way anymore. So disgusting and horrific.

I don’t know if Joe’s thing is confirmed, so I can’t say much beyond the current speculation. As for Q, yeah it’s severely upsetting to hear the way he talks sometimes. I’m hoping for the best with Sal and Murr at this point.

[impracticaljokers]

Recently I was listening to Sal's podcast where Q was a special guest and he called their Broad St address old... do you know of an updated address?

No idea!! I’d say they’ll keep it private, which is smart.

[impracticaljokers]

Yeah, not to continue harping on this, but to add on, Q was on Sal's podcast the other day and they were talking about those Boston dynamics robots and Q was like "put tits and a vagina on that and let's go" I avoid shit he's on now bc he's very obviously a misogynist and I don't think ppls excuses for it are anything but deep denial at this point. He's gross imo.

Ew. Just ew. Even if it’s for a joke. This doesn’t surprise me though. He made many comments about sex/sexual topics while on TESD, so this is right on par with where his mind seems to go every time no matter what the conversation is about. So immature.

[impracticaljokers]

Speaking of Q and offensive shit, I never got into TESD and only heard clips but I saw on twitter he was going to be on a charity stream for rescued Yorkies and waited through the stream to watch it, and it was him and Bryan talking to the stream guys about Alien and somehow that turned into them (mostly Bryan) making r*pe jokes which just made everyone else uncomfortable which Q was basically the only one laughing. Extremely disappointing tbh

How classy. I just don’t understand how topics like that can be just so casually joked about. Like I’ve said time and time again, Bryan seems to be the ringleader in all of this, but Q is no better if he goes right along with it and continues to encourage these types of conversations he finds to be so humorous. Quite honestly, I think comedians who feel the need to joke about things like that just aren’t comedically creative enough to come up with something that isn’t tasteless and childish just to try to get a laugh.

[impracticaljokers]

Any thoughts about people saying Sal is rude irl ?

I just don’t think he likes to be bothered much haha. He never really gave off that he’s a people-person on the show, so I can’t imagine it would be much different in real life. Unless he’s just being a flat out jerk to people, I’d say he appears to be “rude” because he’s maybe not as outgoing as the other guys when it comes to meeting people, and so maybe he doesn’t want to hold long conversations or take multiple pictures/sign autographs either. I haven’t heard about any specific stories where he’s said or done anything mean in particular.

[impracticaljokers]

Have you watched the impractical jokers movie?

I actually have not. I kind of stopped watching IJ altogether a while back and also never got around to watching the movie after that.

[impracticaljokers]

Bessy deleted all of the photos of her children. So weird

Maybe she didn’t want pictures of them to be public on her account anymore following her split from Joe? I’ve seen that a lot of people in the public eye usually try to blur or hide their kids’ faces so people can’t use them for their own personal gain or whatever the case may be. Perhaps since she’s no longer with Joe, she made a personal choice to take down the photos. Also could be that news sites may try to use pictures of their family as clickbait for stories/rumors about their split that she doesn’t want used. Not sure though!

[impracticaljokers]

What are the revelations about Q? What did I miss?

He’s not quite the person he portrays himself to be on IJ. Listening to TESD over the years and hearing from others on here has brought a lot of his true personality to light. He’s said some things in the past that I consider to be offensive. If you scroll a little ways back on my blog, you’ll see some conversations I had with some anons about specific things he’s said, but I know he has said offensive comments about women and transgenders. Plus, TESD in general is just a cesspool for racist, sexist, and other offensive jokes, and he continues to be a part of that podcast even though a lot of people seem to have pointed this out to them numerous times on their Reddit and other platforms.

This particular ask is what sparked the conversation on my blog a few months ago: https://impracticaljokers.tumblr.com/post/658505760797523968/listening-to-the-most-recent-tesd-and-i-have-to

[impracticaljokers]

Do you have a favourite joker?

It was Q, but due to some recent revelations, I cannot bring myself to call him my favorite anymore. I don’t really have a favorite now.

[impracticaljokers]

Another person coming out about Joe on deuxmoi 😬 this time saying that he tried to get up to her appt, then ghosted her when she refused, she later found out he was engaged at the time. I kinda count deuxmoi as the end for him because other more ruthless gossip sites are going to come for him now. They're seen as pretty reputable at this point. What a mess, I really feel bad for Bessie tbh.

It just surprises me that all of this is coming out now though… I mean maybe this has been discussed in the past, and I never saw anything about it, but all the stories I’ve seen on Reddit are from like the last week or so. Could be that it is true and now is just a good time to bring it up since Joe is leaving the show, or it could be that people are making stuff up to create rumors to make him look bad and get attention since he’s trending in the news. I really don’t know yet. 🤷‍♀️

[impracticaljokers]

Today I haven't read all the questions but I read a bit about the rumours of Joe! Any ''anonime'' or fan of IJ asked you how you reacted when you found out the news of Joe? And you read the publication of Joe and the publication of the guys not?

When I saw the rumors, I was honestly surprised because Joe never struck me as a person who would do anything like what’s being said. If all this is true, I guess it just goes to show you really can’t trust anyone to be a good person, no matter how great they seem. I have read some of the articles online about Joe and the guys moving on with IJ, but I’m curious to see how everything plays out since this may have more of a story than Joe just wanting to leave the show for personal reasons.

[impracticaljokers]

Another commenter said that he had a 6-8 month affair with this early 20s girl. There’s a post about Joe on the deuxmoi or w/e it’s spelled that links to some of the comments about cheating. There was even a comment on one of the bravo and cocktails posts on their website where someone said they were in a play group with his wife and kids and Bessy always seemed kind of down. Knowing that, I feel bad for her cause she’s losing the friendship with Q, Sal, and Murr and has fans saying mean stuff

Wow, that’s crazy if that’s true. I just hope that Bessy doesn’t get dragged into this any deeper. She doesn’t deserve any hateful commentary for something Joe might have done. Also, their relationship shouldn’t even be publicly scrutinized since no one knows the truth about what was going on behind closed doors. I just hope all of this gets sorted out.

[impracticaljokers]

About Joe cheating: there are some comments on the subreddit with fans confirming he cheats (mostly “my friend” or “friend of a friend” type stories). There was one that came out a few years ago that the girl said Joe was acting flirty on video chat and kept talking about coming to his hotel room and having a pillow fight. I know some people lie, but most fans are acting like they KNOW him and it’s impossible for him to do something bad.

Geez. I mean, yeah we don’t know that this is true, but I’m not going to be someone who says it’s not possible. I want to believe it’s something he wouldn’t do, but I just don’t know.

[impracticaljokers]

Looks like texts are coming out now. I'm pretty sure this is a where there is smoke situation. Paste is now reporting that episodes of ij where Joe was being creepy are being removed. Tick tick tick tbh.

Oh wow. I just read the article. I’m really curious to see if truTV will have a response because it looks like the news sources have reached out to them regarding the episode removals. 😬

[impracticaljokers]

Also the blind was about call her daddy and something they said recently that eluded trouble in "jokers paradise" concerning cheating and a scandal

Even if it isn’t true, this is certainly going to cause trouble for Joe and possibly the others with all this speculation. And if it is true… yikes.
