[Talking Dad] Ep. 36 - Bowl Movement

This time we spend an hour talking more about the game we're playing on the main podcast, and a bit about our inner creative lives...

[Talking Dad] Ep. 36 - Bowl Movement

Comments

Men saying “I’d be amazing at writing/directing porn.” Is the same as women saying they’d be an amazing stripper/porn star. 😝 and then they try it and find out that it’s a skill like every other creative field and it’s not the guaranteed money-making fallback that they thought

ManicPixie

That ye quote did not age well Espically with his own beliefs recently 🙃

Martin Flores

Beth: "I feel like I could be a really good-bad-therapist. I could just get women to leave shitty people." Am psychotherapist: that is a not-insignificant proportion of how I approach my work. So if you ever need a side-hussle from the podcast, torpedoing bad relationships is a growing industry.

Lem

Yes. s01e33, 38:06: Beth calls for a dad huddle without Anthony on the headphones and says: "Paedon is definitely an anchor, am I right? Maybe he's not even real. Maybe he's just taken the form of some sort . . " Also funny: Matt responded: "How do we test that? Do we kill him?" They recorded that over a month before this episode so not surprising they could've forgotten this throwaway comment by the time of the reveal. (Whereas I listened to it yesterday.) I expect similar fan theories trace back back to this episode. But since we all generally suck at source-memory, it's hard to differentiate between "my idea" vs "good idea I got from someone else that I agree with".

Lem

I'm glad Anthony achieved his dream of writing a porn

Elaine Smith

oh my golly, may we all have a friend like Freddie in our lives <3

Brittany Fenwick

Omg, listening to this now and cackling that Freddie was thinking about the Roman Empire before the meme became popular hahaha.

Jazmin Helzer

People don’t like Borderlands 2? I thought it was amazing in every way

Garrett Durham

This episode hits very close to home with the daddies talking about insecurities. Thanks for the years of creativity!!

NicksBoredBakery

Is Anthony working with the creators for the new borderlands show(movie?) coming out ?

MuteMouse

Same, I haven’t even been listening for a year and I’m already caught up with so much 😭😭

Neo

Matt "rule 36 all porn already exists" Me- okay where are the drawings of Pikachu feet covered in honey as the owl from tootsie pop commercials lock it clean?!?!?

Nicholas Bugeja

this episode made me really emotional.. i hope everyone knows how good they’re doing with their characters in season 2

Wasn't beth literally the first one to say in an episode she thought Paeden would be an anchor tho? 🤣

Risotto

👻

Maria Rebella

You can do anything you put your mind too :)

Jason Norman

I can't believe rick and morty straight up stole wills Rett Con idea

Frank

I can handle neither criticism nor praise and no one ever try and encourage me or I'll die

Maria Rebella

Kanye quote 😂

Naz Rosenbonds

Crying at Beth dismantling my love for eSports

Edward Sena

38:00 big facts Matt

Michael Valdivia

This ep hit me in the feels

Jen Finch (UnseenLibrarian)

When i was young we used to do irl stratego which was the best game ever

Lienisaur

Sometimes they have a heartfelt discussion about creativity, and sometimes they talk about porn for a really long time! Perfect podcast

Carolyn

Missed opportunity for a Wrath of (Ret) Con 🤣

Arielle

The Paeden dilemma seems rather solvable with the Deck of Many Things. Unless they left it in the car.

Spinnaker

Fucking great stuff about creativity and productivity. Thank you for sharing.

hankenstein

In Anthony's defense Bordelands 2 wasn't a bad game due to writing, it was more an issue with the way the player characters were. All the characters felt so lackluster intheir own backgrounds and play style compared to the first game. But the npcs were mostly all so interesting and more fleshed out then you would expect in a fps game. Plus it gave birth to one of the most popular video game npcs there is.

Billy Poff

Team Liquid did have a rough Spring split in 2020 tho lmfao

SirFrostyLion

Beth absolutely bodying my interest in e-sports speaks to the Scorpio in me I love it

Aurie Dear

Im currently reading a book about the difference between men and women in the work place, and their whole conversation on praise *chef kiss* i love it when things connect

Solange

This was a really impactful episode to hear. Living as a creative in a world where everything feel so much can feel very depressing, but like Freddy said as long as you are making yourself happy and doing the best work you can for yourself makes it all meaningful.

Grey Stewart

As a new supporter I'm binging all the TDs and as someone who's struggling with the desire to make meaningful art the discussion about praise/criticism and creating art was incredibly thought-provoking - have a feeling I might have to relisten to this one when I'm done binging

AshieJade24

This was a great episode, they all are great, but I felt like this had a really good balance of table talk and other topics.

Min

Grants issues are internal. They need to be solved ‘internally’

The Overthinker

I think I may have been the person who did the Reddit post Beth was talking about. I am very sorry if I hurt her or anything. I was trying to aim the critique more at Ron. I honestly enjoy Beth's humor the vast majority of the time.

Darkpumpkin21 .

Please do a House episode!!!! I would die in the best manner possible!!

Kolin Coats

Magic School Bus into Grant to slay his inner demons.

Peter yii

Oh! If you guys did a 'Magic School Bus' one shot, I could die happy. Hahaha

Emily

Beth May is a treasure and must be protected at all costs

Ben Sulton

Also, I realise this is entirely hypothetical as he is a fictional character but I find it a wonderful thought experiment and a healthy way to delve into issues of mental health. Plus it's fun.

Emily

Speaking from my own experience, I think that Grant is experiencing dissociation. Maybe Erin or Mr. Moustache or someone could let Darryl know that Grant needs 'grounding' (if Anthony would like to look that up, maybe that's just a butt tonne of work for little outcome, I don't know). And, of course I'm also on the side of Darryl leading by example and showing emotional vulnerability so Grant knows that it's ok for a man to have that. To cry or break down is a totally acceptable response to major trauma. It's possible that he's been dissociating for a while to a lesser extent, to try to live up to Darryl and that these major events have triggered a larger response. I'm not a doctor or expert in any way. I can only speak from what I have learned through my own struggles and years of therapy. (Also having 2 psychologists in the family that I have learned a lot from ❤️).

Emily

God, I adore listening to you guys discuss everything. It is both relaxing and extremely funny!

Kayla S. Pingree-McCarthy

in an effort to praise without actually praising because i now know how much you all hate it, fuck every one of you everything youve ever done is terrible. except will campos who is a very good boy yes he is, and freddy wong? ...meh

Zak DeFeciani

Maybe Darryl can take Grant to the therapist that Erin mentioned to Ron

James Edward Antley IV

The way Matt said “three out of five of us are married” fucking killed me

Audrey McKenzie

Just want to say I love this podcast so much and each person makes me laugh so much.

Samantha Melcher

Beth's e-sports rant is easily my favorite part of 2020

Christopher Pete

the excitement over my dad wrote a porno injected me with that sweet serotonin, bless y’all!

Valerija

Seriously well done you guys. That was a truly enjoyable episode. (Yes, I'm aware of the irony of saying this about an episode where you talk about not liking positive feedback.)

Ashley Laduranteay

I binged the whole podcast and now I'm binging TD. Not long and I will have to upgrade to the uncut episodes. But after I watched those, what then?? I will go into daddy withdrawals

Max We

Heck yeah!

Playgono

Woot!
