My two year old girl insists on watching puppy dog pals almost every day. Can't stand it

Kenneth Chambers

post malone better musical guest

Grant Ervin

Not me listening to Bert (David) and Ernie (Griffin) not realize they are acting out the dynamic

Matthew O'Reilly

“Sesame Street power ranking” was a phrase I didn’t know I needed to hear

Matthew O'Reilly

It's on Club 3 (the $8 patreon tier). I think it came out October or November

Jeremy Elkayam

Same. Tshirt collars for me. Can this also happen from using Benzoyl Peroxide facewash even if it's washed off?

Matt

puffin rock is also extremely good im imo

disk-kun, the mascot for the famicom disk system

David Sims clearly went to the same school of parenting that my spouse & I did (when it comes to TV shows we ONLY show our kid Bluey and Sesame Street)

Brooke W

Bit off topic, but anyone know which 'Podcast: The Ride' episode Griffin recc'ed off Wendell & Wild? Love a good Kingdom Hearts rant.

Scotty B

the entire time david told the airbnb story i was terrified like was this before they saw barbarian

Ian Thomas

Rogue One has some really cool trailers. The fact that a lot of the footage isn’t in the movie helps make them their own mini-movies too.

Spider-Skull Island

David if you haven't played Inscryption I highly recommend! If you go in blind it's even better

Susannah B.

I am fully Russell Pardo

Good games from this year that are very broadly similar to Pentiment: Citizen Sleeper, Norco, The Case of the Golden Idol. Very different but also good, especially if you want something that you can pick up, play for 15-30 minutes and feel like you got something out of it, is Neon White.

Edwin Davies

Ah such a wonderful one

Rad Rodge

I’m sorry this is weird and not related to the topic at all, but you have a great username :)

Holly Catlin-Meyer

Great episode but can’t believe the Fincher Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trailer didn’t get mentioned during that discussion!

Nate Goodman

Yeah. God I just went back and watched it and it’s like Griffin said, best Superman movie ever made

Rad Rodge

Also want to affirm that David singing “bleach stains” to the melody of the Silvestri Avengers theme is one of the all-time highlights of BC:SF

Rad Rodge

Great 2022 game: The Case of the Golden Idol. Mystery solving game! If I hadn’t already played Return of the Obra Dinn I’d say it was the coolest game of all time (it’s actually the second coolest)

InkyBloc

You guys REALLY need to give Saul a call 🙄

Nolan Beattie

Very enthusiastic that “honk-shoo king” is becoming a recurring epithet from David

Rad Rodge

There's a weird moment where David seems to be quoting the lyrics to Werewolves of London, by Warren Zevon: "Yesterday, I got out of the 6 train in SoHo where my office is. It was raining. I open my umbrella, and just walked the streets of SoHo. What's better than this? Walking through the rain in Manhattan, with a nice brolly. Went up to Mei Li Wah, I got some fuckin' pork buns. It was good." Compare to Zevon's: "I saw werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand Walking through the streets of SoHo in the rain He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fooks For to get a big dish of beef chow mein." Not to put too fine a point on it, is David a time travelling werewolf?

Mark Turetsky

Gay Purr-ee. The film where they somehow got Judy Garland to be in it and she brought The Wizard of Oz songwriters to do the songs. Also, it was rumored that it was ghost directed by Chuck Jones and when WB distributed it and found out he'd been involved they fired him because it wasn't supposed to be working for anyone else.

Benji Black

All this talk about Toejam and Earl but no one brought up the Steph Curry Toejam and Earl movie that’s on the way??

Jack Tucker

The third trailer for Man of Steel is the best one. That’s the one that starts with Krypton and the 🎶 Dun duuuunnn… 🎶

Anthony Regina

Omg, Griffin. You just made me realize how I’ve been accidentally leaving bleach stains on my gray towels, I’m not rinsing my hands well enough after using my acne spot treatment. Can’t believe I didn’t think of that, thank you.

D'Ana Gwin

Ayyyy, my question got answered! That made my day. Thanks guys!

Noah Mulder

PLEEEEEEEEASE do the SCREAMS on Patreon this year!

Anthony Regina

I feel like David would really like a game called Citizen Sleeper

Lev

At least watch the eps of Wednesday directed by Tim burton unless you’re connoisseurs of LIES

Wes

I had the exact same benzoyl peroxide experience

Gabriel Mathews

Re: game recs for David. PLAY IMMORTALITY. It’s low-key the blankest check of the year and has maybe the best debut performance of all time.

Stephen Klein

Consider the coconut and hello fennel

Gunner Taylor

What's the story with the coconut and the leek/onion in the Patreon logo, again?

Mike Ostrov

I'm currently really enjoying Solar Ash, which is like a mix between Jet Set Radio and Shadow of the Colossus.

Daniel A. Barron

Really glad to know that Ben loves Chainsaw Man.

Daniel A. Barron

I had my daughter around the same time as David and I am also late-2000s Sesame Street-pilled and have always vociferously maintained (to my wife the only person who will (can’t not?) listen) that Abby is OP. Hearing David validate these feelings brought a tear to my eye.

Going to be playing my trumpet before bed tonight! Xoxoxo

Isaiah Bornman

Another banger!

Vegan Police

Surprised at no Elden Ring mention from David!! Please play Ace Angler Fishing Spirits lol. It’s a wacky fishing game
