She opens with announcing she has merch that actually has an art print on it that isn't just the fucking logo! Yes! The art is so cute!
5:13 I love that she admits when she doesn't really know what a word means and looks it up right in front of us. Its always funny because I could never be that brave. I would've edit that part out and made it seem like I knew the whole time. And I'm sure other creators do that too or they say they aren't sure but wont bother to quickly fact check.
She's so real to look up stuff and not be lazy or shy about it. Plus, we learn with her 👌
6:06 A Funko Pop figure of her!
That's really cool!
I love that her explaining the lore of why the toys are placed where they are, is like a little kid showing us their toys. So, funny and cute!
Because I do that too when I chose where to place my figures on the shelves, I'm thinking where each one makes sense for them to be placed at and how to position them. It's the closest to playing with toys again.
7:25 Whichever name she chose to say that was on the other side of that call would've been funny no matter what.
I wish she wouldn't apologize for taking time off. I was sad to not have her podcast for two weeks but after the outrage she had to deal with, I'm glad she took real time to relax. I'm happy to see her fully recharged and stronger to take on any negativity, deserved or not.
People need to learn that sometimes a person can grow from mistakes if people give them the fucking time. Use common sense to know who has potential to do better and who doesn't.
I think it's obvious that Brittany has potential and has shown that she wants to learn and even points out the toxic parts in her thinking. Famous or not, so many other people wont do that.
9:40 The man of the week/month!
I love that she's open about being horny. With so many other people acting like they're virgins, it gets annoying when they will giggle over the word, "spicy."
I wish I had a female friend that I could fangirl with and laugh that we are talking about fucking a video game, anime or book character. I don't like the same men as Brittany but I can relate to her feelings by inserting fictional men I like when she talks about her tastes.
14:34 Being obsessed with a guy is very funny, fun, real and annoying! LOL!
It's annoying because it takes up so much of your time. Looking up fanart, fanfictions, videos and creating some form of art of them. And the day dreaming! So much time day dreaming. You start to feel crazy.
When you're finally over the crush, you suddenly have so much more hours in a day that you didn't have before. It feels like freedom 😌
18:04 Book talk.
I LOVE when she yells at the people who might and will bitch about how much they don't care about this topic. I seen so many fans on Reddit that need to be told to shut the fuck up and listen! Any time someone complains that she talks about music, men or books. They can shut the fuck up and just listen. (Or learn how to skip, it's a really cool feature that you can do, you spoiled brats!)
I love hearing her happily talk about her interests. It's not that hard to mentally insert something I like that comes close to what she's talking about so that I can relate and understand her.
She's fucking real to admit that she is idolizing a man she doesn't know, into a character she wants and says, "it doesn't matter!" Let her live her fantasy! It's fun!
I want her to say that to Mike from DB. He needs to hear it because I feel like Mike always has to point out things that are selfish or foolish instead of just seeing the fun in them. Instead of understanding that maybe someone is acting that way because it's for comedic effect.
I was relistening to Cloverfeels and DB and in those early podcast days, he was such an easy going, team player.
But now it feels like he's always ready to defend something against Steve or fans who write in emails, in a way that isn't fun for a comedy podcast. Steve is better at knowing what will be fun for the podcast that he will "yes and" to anything, even if he disagrees or isn't interested in it. Steve's a good sport towards Mike's interests.
Brittany is like Steve Zaragoza in that way. She doesn't want to argue unless it'll be funny. Like, her talking about food. I wish all arguments on DB were light hearted and fun like they used to be in the early episodes. Who cares about winning an argument, all that matters is if it's funny to hear! Mike loses sight of that sometimes.
It was not fun seeing him act so serious over a fucking pizza slice.
Or when he got so defensive over his dad when Steve was just trying to segue into a fucking ad with a simple statement about dad's and sports.
Or when he was disgusted that Steve has his own opinion about no one being able to create perfect old timely music like the guys who made Cuphead did. He wanted Steve to be clear that it was an opinion and not a fact even though everything they say on the podcast is an opinion and Steve says that.
Or when he got offended that Steve said having a star named after him was the best gift he has ever gotten. It was clearly a excited Steve who couldn't wait to share what he got in the mail. I'm sure he didn't really mean that. It's a popular statement when people get a cool gift. Like, saying, "This is the best day of my life/week/month/year!"
It's just hype and Mike had to shit all over Steve's gift because how dare Steve be happy with something that Mike doesn't care about. And how dare Steve not like the birthday roast that all his friends set up for him. Steve just wanted to share his love of space with Mike.
Or when Steve wanted to laugh at a friend for writing into a show and lying about their life just so their email would stand out and be picked to be read. But Mike kept saying how that's fucked up to laugh at friend, even though he knows Steve isn't rude like that. It's something light hearted to laugh at someone for, come on!
And they ended up texting that friend who said it was okay to talk about. So, Mike totally ruined a good bit by worrying that it was too mean to talk about. How does he not know how editing works? If it turned out that friend wasn't fine with it, then they could've edit it out.
Or Mike getting upset for women named Karen. Of course the white man on the show is the one upset about that 🙄 White women have it SO hard. Boohoo.
Steve was trying to make the conversation funny but Mike kept putting his foot down, saying that it wasn't a game. Mike just wanted Karens to write in and tell everyone listening how much of a good person they are....
(I was thinking about having links but fans of DB will remember what I'm talking about and if not, lucky you. And I don't feel like rewatching those annoying moments.)
Mike: "This is why we shouldn't do this."
Brittany: "This is why we shouldn't do this. Now watch me have fun doing it."
Maybe Mike is self-aware and 2024 will make him work on being chill on a comedy podcast. He can be funny, I like him but I used to really like him.
27:20 Her telling hot men to not talk will always be great.
31:34 Obama's songs of the year.
Mike lives in my head rent free at the moment because all I could think about when Brittany was saying she couldn't imagine Obama listening to these songs is Mike telling her, "People can listen to any music they like rather or not you can imagine it." Or maybe it's not Mike I'm thinking of but the fans on Reddit that love to bitch about her.
Right now, Mike is the face of fans who have to play devil's advocate instead of enjoying the joke.
39:44 Audio books.
I feel so connected to her about this because I JUST got into audio books too. I prefer paperback because I love imagining what the characters sound like but while playing video games where I'm just farming or exploring the world, I like to have something to listen to. I used to listen to podcasts but I'm all caught up with the ones I like.
So, I looked into free audio books then some Stephen King audio books:
The Bad Neighbor - I'm not finished yet but I just had to skip towards the end of chapter 17 or 18 because I couldn't take how much of a submissive bitch the main character was being towards the cop. I want to see how this ends but I don't recommend it. 1 out of 5.
Night Shift - Another push over MC. I hated the characters and ending. I liked the mystery but once it was solved, it sucked. 1 out of 5.
Misery - I'm loving it! I already know the story but the book has so much more to it because you can hear the MC's thoughts. This MC being a push over makes sense because he is injured and at the mercy of a strong, crazy woman. 5 out of 5.
The Good Marriage - I've seen the movie and it's just as good as the book. I even think the movie is a bit more exciting. And I didn't like the voice for the husband the reader gave him. He would've sounded better in my head. The confrontation with the cop is different in the movie so I recommend checking both out! 5 out of 5.
Slow stories I could get bored of if I was reading them. The voice acting out the characters really help make it interesting. If slow burn stories are hard for you to read, try the audio book version.
56:10 Health update.
I'm glad she has a good doctor now.
I haven't been to a doctor since I was a teen. I'm so nervous that I have something wrong with me. I'm 33, about to be 34 at the end of this month, I should go get a check up soon.
Anyways, I can't wait to buy her merch...in the future. I just spent so much money already during December that I now have to save money. As exciting as it is that Brittany has cute fucking merch, it is just t-shirts and sweaters. I can wait for next time. I know they will sell out so that should tell her to make more. I'm very happy for her!
(I would love for her and Steve Zaragoza to be on a podcast or video together someday! I imagine it would be something like this.)
