[Talking Dad] Ep. 35 - The Jellicle Ball!
Added 2020-06-17 06:18:40 +0000 UTCIn an extra long Talking Dad, we reminisce on one of our favorite episodes, have an incredibly long discussion about spiritualism and horoscopes, and Beth checks in on the P.O. Box!

I went to culinary school for baking and pastries and you need to back off 🤣 calling out my entire people

2025-06-25 17:02:15 +0000 UTCI know this is a late comment and maybe you all have changed this in the more recent episodes, but please create a separate pod where you just shoot the shit about life, art, and whatever else. I LOVE both the life convos and learning about behind the scenes and these episodes never satisfy either. So please split them out, that would rock! Thank you and love all your content!

2025-04-06 20:07:31 +0000 UTCIt's called Swimming to Freedom: My Escape from China and the Cultural Revolution by Kent Wong. You should definitely read it! I did and it was incredibly gripping, one of the best autobiographies I've read!
Caleb Crawford
2025-04-06 20:01:09 +0000 UTCTo anyone reading this, you should Freddy's Dad's book. I read it and it was incredibly gripping, one of the best autobiographies I've read. It's called Swimming to Freedom: My Escape from China and the Cultural Revolution by Kent Wong.

2025-04-04 06:13:18 +0000 UTCIn my experience, cooking is art and baking is science. You can kinda just throw a bunch of stuff together based on vibes for cooking and it normally turns out pretty well. However, for baking, measurements and ratios count. You can do what feels like the exact same thing twice and one time it is amazing and the next time it is an aberration. Baking is way harder than cooking.

2024-12-29 20:00:05 +0000 UTCI have just gotten into this and am binging everything. Hearing Freddy talk has been very weird in a familiar not familiar way. But hearing him talk about his dad just stopped me dead. I had already left for France but my very silent father told my sisters about the fact that he had escaped by swimming to macro. 2 attempts. First time caught and they lost some people. Second time was ok,etc. But just weird having that odd feeling of "kindred spirit" throughout the hours of orevious episodes and then that story just sending echos through me.

Keith Rodriguez
2024-11-27 23:09:05 +0000 UTCYou might be right, I think it’s a bigger issue with me getting triggered by Will’s fragility.
Danny Trejo
2024-10-22 18:50:28 +0000 UTCI think it’s more so Freddie is constantly a buzz kill and won’t let people believe whatever they want. He has to be right and get the last word in but hey, they’re friends at the end of the day

2024-09-24 20:13:19 +0000 UTCVirgo ♍️ freddie, all the same feels about the subject
Victoria and Austin
2024-03-23 18:16:45 +0000 UTCI am so happy that Freddie broke down why horoscopes and astrology beliefs are the dumbest and most toxic thing to society.
Nicholas Bugeja
2024-01-31 23:16:48 +0000 UTCI would listen to a podcast of yall just talking like this for an hour a week
Yaboyscuttle
2023-12-24 14:23:22 +0000 UTCWow, Will got so triggered when Freddie presented some research helping to debunk horoscopes. I get that Will is sensitive but choose a lane, either understood you have a strong response to disagreements and choose your words and keep quieter; or continue to bogart 80% of the conversation and accept people will disagree with you then learn to deal with it.
Danny Trejo
2023-12-13 22:10:26 +0000 UTCAww, love that Freddie feels comfortable posting his pottery now
Sammi Whittington
2023-10-22 00:02:00 +0000 UTCQuestion for Will: was it Donald Sinta that you played saxophone for?? I also went to school for saxophone and got wrecked by my professor who was a student of Eugene Rousseau - another one of the “Grandfathers of Saxophone” in the US.
Victoria Symmonds
2023-10-17 03:45:16 +0000 UTCThe best description I've ever heard for baking vs cooking is that cooking is an art, and baking is a science.

2023-09-08 13:52:46 +0000 UTCAnton’s have a “like” count for this episode?

Samantha Stevens
2022-11-19 04:56:46 +0000 UTCThere's negative and positive Christian morals. I am in no way defending the negative effects Christianity has had on the US but there's no way that's the kinds of morals that were being discussed in the podcast. Regardless, a lot of Christian people are the exact ones who won't follow said morals, ones of forgiveness, understanding, etc. Instead they are some of the most bigoted people. So just because the religion itself preaches good values doesn't mean the people "following" it will. (Btw this isn't a lecture, and I'm sure this isn't news to you, I just really need to point this out since obviously they in the podcast don't mean anything about kidnapping and killing native kids)
millenniumhooha
2022-11-12 14:58:31 +0000 UTCI noticed the intro music is actually frío mad max fury road orrrrr is just super similar
Ethan O'Connell
2022-09-21 15:09:30 +0000 UTCYeah, as a native person that sorta hit me like a brick. I think I get what he meant (that a lot of the moral movements/legal things in America have been influenced by Christian-ish values even if they're not specifically Christian) but also like, what christian morals, the ones that jusified kidnapping and killing native kids?
Zagreuses-toast
2022-08-19 16:54:08 +0000 UTC*winces at the assertion that America's morals are only "strong" because of Christian influence, as a Jew who's been directly impacted oppressively by American Christian morality, & also is familiar with how American Christianity as an institution tried to genocide the indigenous populations & excused the subjugation of enslaved populations of color*
Arielle
2022-07-06 17:46:36 +0000 UTCI'd say Clueless holds up pretty well, like you have some tokenism with Dionne and Murray but they were still lovable and the comedy of Christian being gay isn't directed at him but Cher utterly failing to seduce him.

2022-03-08 16:40:30 +0000 UTCI love how respectfully and kindly you all communicate when you're not roasting the shit out of each other (which is also very good). Talking Dad *chef kiss*

Renn
2021-09-25 15:27:12 +0000 UTCAnthony just left to do something else in the second half. 😂 To be fair that talk between Yeet and Grant gets him a ton of passes for anything. That was so good, and so sad. I cried a bit for Grant, and myself.

2020-08-10 03:10:17 +0000 UTCLove that Will compared baking to building Gundam. 😂

2020-07-11 11:02:51 +0000 UTCUgh, baking is such a skill. Like, bread and pastry are some of the hardest things to do

2020-06-22 16:06:44 +0000 UTCCan I get an invite to that round of golf?
Devon Levitt
2020-06-20 00:41:05 +0000 UTCIt’s not that I want them to change who they are(and having watched and listened to Freddie and the gang since the first few rocketjump videos I know they won’t!) it’s that a lot of these conversations might be better placed in another podcast that’s not focused on DND. Which would make it easier for people like me.
Alexander L Dye
2020-06-18 23:03:55 +0000 UTCI listen to this podcast to hear more from them, not to hear about their game. The reason listening to dungeons and daddies is fun is that they aren’t afraid to be themselves. I’m really worried this comment will make them second guess their “style” and how they mesh together.
Christopher Lee
2020-06-18 22:58:00 +0000 UTCDamn I listened even further and freddies fortune teller story was actually told in that podcast
Chris
2020-06-18 22:54:08 +0000 UTCkind of like the facerocker podcast back in the day
Chris
2020-06-18 22:04:23 +0000 UTCy'all need to make letterboxd accounts already, or at least ones for your characters haha. The film discussion is on point!

2020-06-18 11:27:51 +0000 UTCIt's so cool to learn that so many of them are so musical! I want spotify playlists from each player and each dad haha
Kjersti Chippindale
2020-06-18 03:08:31 +0000 UTCI understand where you are coming from, but I really like that they include some real life stuff. It reminds me that these are real people using their real lives to influence characters, and I find that endearing. At the same time, I understand the escapism other people seek. It sucks knowing that there is no way for them to please all of us. Your point about segments makes sense. They started it with the "favorite bit" in the last two, maybe that can continue to break it into DnD up front and then fade into casual convo at the end, so if people tune out they dont miss DnD stuff
Kjersti Chippindale
2020-06-18 02:50:48 +0000 UTCAn interesting point on Astrology is that the current signs are about a month off. I found an article that talks a little about it. Also there should be 13 signs instead of 12. https://www.ctvnews.ca/zodiac-signs-are-off-by-a-month-expert-says-1.596266
Matthew
2020-06-17 21:29:21 +0000 UTCI was just hoping for some more talk about the story or DMing or answering more questions from fans. While the conversation was pretty interesting overall it’s just very very very much not why I subscribe to this Patreon. I don’t know, I’ve been going to protests in support of blm and such. Then trying to be a force of good in my work(my job is kinda parallel to police) so when I turn on this podcast I just want to be absorbed in the fantasy and humor of the world that these people have created and take a break from the exhausting real world for a bit. It feels strange complaining about this kind of stuff, I just wish they would separate it Into segments of some kind or a whole other podcast so it would be easier to skip the “bleh” parts.
Alexander L Dye
2020-06-17 18:37:17 +0000 UTCThe first twenty minutes, with all the crapping on other media, was pretty brutal (although Anthony made some interesting points). But I’m so glad I powered through, it was a great episode overall. I think I need to remember not to expect as much editing in the Talking Dads.
Tom!
2020-06-17 18:20:40 +0000 UTCIt honestly makes me wish they had a separate podcast to just discuss their lives and other random topics, then they could focus their dnd ones more on the subject at hand
Isaiah Galaviz
2020-06-17 18:17:29 +0000 UTCRight? I could legit listen to to these five talk about random shit that had zero to do with DnD and enjoy it
Christopher Pete
2020-06-17 18:06:10 +0000 UTCPS. Longer episodes FTW.
StephBox
2020-06-17 17:11:32 +0000 UTCI will always love Mel Brooks movies. He makes fun of everyone, especially himself.
StephBox
2020-06-17 17:11:06 +0000 UTCI am loving the longer Talking Dad episodes recently! It's all of the funnies and conversation from the episode intros extended to 30-60 minutes
Isaiah Galaviz
2020-06-17 14:59:01 +0000 UTCYa know, I wish they would talk more about DND on talking dads. Or at very least the group would listen to Freddie more as he seems to pull them away from the hyper political stuff which can get a bit heavy.
Alexander L Dye
2020-06-17 14:56:47 +0000 UTCIIRC, in The Replacements,the owners weren't the good guys. They just wanted to make money while the players were on strike. Some just bought whole teams. It was the head coach that asked for complete control to hire people for the love of the game.
