Today would have been Fredrick Brennan's 32nd birthday. He died in his sleep last month, so here's Fred's partner to memorialize the 8chan founder who realized he was wrong, got out, and did what he could to take down the monster he helped create.

His family wanted to keep the news private until now for personal reasons, so we recorded this a couple weeks after his death but are only releasing it now that the news has officially broken. Don't worry, there's no crying in the episode. Unfortunately, the audio quality is really bad because due to the circumstances Jay didn't get to record in his usual spot. I'm sorry that one of our most historically significant episodes is also one of our worst-sounding ones, but given the circumstances I hope you will forgive.

Don't let your mistakes define you! Anyways, check out this entire movie I made to prove how not-owned I am.

This was originally a bonus series we recorded in October of last year, the editing is a little looser than our usual.

It's 2016. You work at a Murphy Bed store. You have to go to an after-hours the party the owner is throwing for his business partner. And then she makes everyone watch her sing a four minute long story song in a racist accent. For you, this was just a bad evening. For Jennifer Murphy, this is going to be the rest of her life.

The internet is for everybody, even pretty people. That said, when you see a three-parter focused on 2003's Miss Oregon you know things are going to get weird. After an appearance on Donald Trump's 2000s reality show The Apprentice, professional pretty person Jennifer Murphy found her new calling as a professional fame hound. And with the 2000s reality boom on the way out, an exciting new frontier of fame is reaching people like her: YouTube.

You don't have to be Jean Piaget or Lev Vygotsky to appreciate how amusingly off-kilter a child's view of the world can be. In 2009, an emerging independent cartoonist named Ethan Nicolle teamed up with his five year-old little brother to illustrate the wacky stories he would make up. The internet loved it, but Ethan's later projects turned out to be a little less universally-beloved. This week on I'M FROM THE INTERNET, a cautionary tale about how promising young talent ends up working with Rob Schneider.
