My two year old girl insists on watching puppy dog pals almost every day. Can't stand it
Grant Ervin
post malone better musical guest
Matthew O'Reilly
Not me listening to Bert (David) and Ernie (Griffin) not realize they are acting out the dynamic

“Sesame Street power ranking” was a phrase I didn’t know I needed to hear
Jeremy Elkayam
It's on Club 3 (the $8 patreon tier). I think it came out October or November
Matt
Same. Tshirt collars for me. Can this also happen from using Benzoyl Peroxide facewash even if it's washed off?
disk-kun, the mascot for the famicom disk system
puffin rock is also extremely good im imo

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)

Bit off topic, but anyone know which 'Podcast: The Ride' episode Griffin recc'ed off Wendell & Wild? Love a good Kingdom Hearts rant.
Ian Thomas
the entire time david told the airbnb story i was terrified like was this before they saw barbarian
Spider-Skull Island
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.

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

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.
Rad Rodge
Ah such a wonderful one
Holly Catlin-Meyer
I’m sorry this is weird and not related to the topic at all, but you have a great username :)
Nate Goodman
Great episode but can’t believe the Fincher Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trailer didn’t get mentioned during that discussion!
Rad Rodge
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
InkyBloc
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)
Nolan Beattie
You guys REALLY need to give Saul a call 🙄
Rad Rodge
Very enthusiastic that “honk-shoo king” is becoming a recurring epithet from David

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?

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.
Jack Tucker
All this talk about Toejam and Earl but no one brought up the Steph Curry Toejam and Earl movie that’s on the way??
Anthony Regina
The third trailer for Man of Steel is the best one. That’s the one that starts with Krypton and the 🎶 Dun duuuunnn… 🎶

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.
Noah Mulder
Ayyyy, my question got answered! That made my day. Thanks guys!
Anthony Regina
PLEEEEEEEEASE do the SCREAMS on Patreon this year!
Lev
I feel like David would really like a game called Citizen Sleeper
Wes
At least watch the eps of Wednesday directed by Tim burton unless you’re connoisseurs of LIES
Gabriel Mathews
I had the exact same benzoyl peroxide experience
Stephen Klein
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.
Gunner Taylor
Consider the coconut and hello fennel
Mike Ostrov
What's the story with the coconut and the leek/onion in the Patreon logo, again?

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.

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.
