I'd replace Han Solo with Hermie

Freddie idk if you’re familiar with the “official” Jewish Christmas tradition which is to watch a movie and get Chinese food. (My family also likes to do volunteer work in the morning)
Braxton Hahn
I LOVE ANTHONY'S MOM
Shane Whalen
Normals dislike of himself and his own personality is so relatable, especially for me, an autistic man who has lost many friends because he got too emotional, too weird, clingy, and loud, Normal personifies that for me, and it’s awesome to see him with friends that accept and love him for who he is

Willy closing the gates of heaven and it going black makes me think of the last chapter intro in Diablo 3 (not gonna say bc spoilers)
Anthony cadena
where’s the Beth wants the D link?!
Allie Gowins
They actually have a really bad Netflix moving where a guy still believes in Santa and the women who is in love with him has to figure out if she wants to stay with him 🤣
Levi Jo
God’s Not Dead 3 had different writers and directors and deals with some of the bad elements of the first movie (you can skip the second one, its not really a sequel)
Ram33
Catching up after missing a few. Hopefully some episode soon we can get through one without super deep emo monologues
Allison
I would simp so hard over a Hallmark movie written by this bunch
yeswecanada
I love the show, however, I think a pivot from the current storyline would feel incredibly refreshing. I love the characters and stories these past two seasons but it feels pretty fully fleshed out....an extension of Electric bastionland would be amazing for example!
Kuko Creations
Just wanna chime in on Will's comment on how some of the fun of being a kid that slowly realizes that Santa isn't real, I definitely had that, and it was so much fun! When we were little kids, my bro and I spent one Christmas season "investigating the mystery of Santa". We'd pretend to analyze the "fingerprints" of letters we got from "Santa" and compare them against other letters from our parents. It was lots of fun! Thanks for unlocking that core memory!
Jenna Holmes
Okay so that movie idea of “what if the love of your life still believes in Santa” is absolutely already a movie haha. Came out I think last year on Netflix?
Shannon
I came here to say this! It’s so bad.
Lauren Boersma
Omg Anthony’s mom sounds so sweet
Devon Willingham
I only listen to two podcasts. This and rooster teeth’s Red Web and somehow they both referenced “you wouldn’t download a car” on their newest episodes. Wtf
Devon Willingham
I live near Illinois so I know for a fact it wasn’t that cold Freddy. It didn’t even snow on Christmas
Lula Hiigel
I would love a special episode of Story Break for the Patrons 💜
Adriaan Reynolds

It’s also not that bad. It’s above average for a Netflix original rom com. (Not saying much I know)
Chris Formisano
Yeah I believe it came out last year. It’s not good, but it’s also not bad. It’s significantly better than most Netflix rom com original crap
Invader Jimm
Bring back Storybreak with that Hallmark movie!!
Adriaan Reynolds
Can anyone help me with discord? I’m using my husbands account but have my own for discord. I even updated my membership to make sure I have discord access
Chris Winnek
3 episodes??? Noooooo!!
Melissa Kass
Lmao listening to this at work and it gets to the part about Santa 😂
WaxMan
Why do they always say that something will be in the description and it never is.
Matthew Lemm
3 episodes till the end?
kckerr 1188
Am I the only one who believes that they should turn this into a campaign setting and make a book to go with five e
Edgar Allan Hoes
Shitttt, it doesn't feel like it's been two years, that's fucking wild. 😭😭😭😭
Elf0004
Isn't there supposed to be a link here to Beth's Vimeo?
Úlfdís
Ahaha, i had the same handwriting "j'acuuse!" moment with my mom on the tags. She switched it up and started printing them in comic sans lol
Zack Bochman
Storybook about to make a comeback to write Beth's Santa movie.
Steve
My day job is a warehouse manager and that bill of landing joke from Freddy made me laugh.
Chantelle Black
Will's little witch cackle was so cute
Brynnah
Growing up I actually discovered my dad making our Christmas toys through a peep hole in the basement stairs with my brother, my brother is only 16 months older than me, but he still saved Santa for me by doing something similar, he said my dad is our Santa, because he’s really good at making toys, so he contracts some of the work out to carpenters. (I also believe this is why Jesus’ birthday was aligned with Santa- carpentry.)
Matt Flanagan
Clevelander thinking the same thing about the midwest winter this year lol
Anthony sorrentino
Anyone else hear the microwave go off in the background 😂
Spenser Adelstein
Hey guys just a heads up, there is a movie where the husband actually believes in Santa. It’s called I Believe in Santa, it’s on Netflix. I key gripped it
Whachamacallit
From Illinois and I have no idea what they mean in freezing cold. It's been real warm here for the winter, like no snow at all! But then again I don't wear saddles in the winter so that probably explains it
Alexis Marie
there already is a movie where a women falls in love and finds out the man still believes in santa! it’s a netflix original called “I Believe in Santa” from 2022
Dane Haskell
Pretty sure I have the same birthday as Anthony, year included.
dalton brooks
I feel like a good opening/ an extra would be a sit down session where the kids talk to doctor not me
DungeonBrat
and she totally is. Certified fox.
DungeonBrat
omg yes they get to make and play their characters' spouses!? A delightful way to look at who they think their characters become in adulthood, for sure
Matt Redman
Immediately went out and got Beth wants the D. Her work deserves a dissertation, but short version, Beth is a genius storyteller, it is so very good and I've not stopped thinking about it. There is a little glimpse into the mind of the person who can think so fast and round corners that characters like Ron and Scary can become all time greats in my life and the light and dark behind that. I can also 100% guarantee that this has and will continue to help people.
Sunneva Torsteins
It would be cool if the next season would be the teens as adults. Buuut I get that people may want to play something else x)
lazo
the concept of will DMming again has me JUMPING FOR JOY
lazo
THE CONCEPT OF BEING THREE EPISODES FROM THE END BROUGHT ME TO MY KNEES </3
Connor Neal
IMMEDIATELY googled Freddy wong mom after Anthony said she’s hot
Luke Vanderputten
I started playing Santa when I was in high school and kept it going with newer costume bits over the years, especially when my sister had kids and “Santa” would show up to drop off some last minute (and often highly requested, similar to Matt with Dorothy’s desire for a cougar stuffy) special gifts every year. This year my 6 yr old nephew figured it out, but wants to keep the secret going for his little sister while he still seems to believe in a “Santa” with the exception that myself and others who dress up are akin to Santa’s helpers. After the brief conversation he and I had about his discovery, he then proceeds to do the little Santa nose tap to me after we agree to keep the secret safe and I swear I almost broke down crying 🥹

I share my birthday with my Grandpa
Rolin Schmitt
Two of my friends and I share the same the birthday
GiR
Mama Burch 🥺🥺
Russell
Listener question for everyone (mostly Beth and Anthony): My birthday is the 11th of January which is in between Beth and Anthony’s. I actually share the birthday with my dad and wanted to ask if anyone has an interesting shared birthday with anyone?
Jason Todd
I want season 3 to be 3 mom's and a dad thrown in a forgotten realms to find their lost children (just they play the spouses to their PC in season2)
Brynnah
… three episodes from the end? How!
DungeonBrat
So this year is the first year our 4 year old really understands what Santa is, and he hasn't asked any questions because he's autistic and he just doesn't put much thought to it yet. We're gonna make Santa out to be a "spirit of Christmas" kind of thing, and when he finally does figure it out, he's gonna get to 'become' Santa also, if that makes sense. I'm excited for him to help us 'be Santa' for future kids
Vonn Frey
Looking back on session 2 I would be interesting to see them play Unknown Armys.
Brynnah
Mama!!
Kelsey Reyer
Hi mama Burch!
Kendall Crosby
