I LOVE solo episodes! I love hearing people being "in the zone" to talk without being interrupted by someone.
Geoff from Rooster Teeth has a solo podcast and I'm so happy he does! He became my favorite host on Achievement Hunter a while ago. He's so funny when he gets scared playing horror games.
Brittany Broski has a solo podcast and it's the best! I blog about her podcast.
Steve could have a solo podcast too! He has proven he can be funny alone or with others.
And I have one and I love recording myself talk because it feels good to get my thoughts out there vs keeping it to myself because I don't have many people I can nerd out about video games with. I love story heavy ones, I don't care much for playing online.
Video games have more freedom on how they choose to tell their stories that movies, shows and books can't do. Video games can have players choose to do side quests or read notes to get more lore or be okay with the lore they do get from just the main story line. But with movies, shows and books, you get what they give you. Rather it's too much information or too little.
Anyway, I just want to show that I think more people should have solo podcasts because maybe someone wants to really share their love about something that no one in their friend group cares about. Or maybe they just want to share what's on their mind and don't feel like waiting to get "the group" together so they just sit down, record and talk.
Plus, solo podcasts are just relaxing to listen to because they feel more intimate.
I hope Elliott is joking about the boys not wanting to do the podcast anymore. I'm getting the feeling its like how Owen wanted to give up doing the Lost podcast with his friends. And we had no idea he felt that way until they finished the show. They laugh about it like it's funny but it sucks as a fan knowing that Owen didn't think it was good enough to continue doing. Or he thought that the podcast would be better without him but it's not true.
So, I hate this feeling that The Valleyfolk boys are talking about stopping the podcast. I really really hope it's just a joke. The way Elliott ended the episode made me feel a bit better that it might be just that.
I know it' sucks that the fans choose sides and the views are way down now but the boys still get more views that other podcasts starting out. They still have fans who love listening to them every week. What's wrong with talking with friends but it's being recorded? If they stopped the podcast, would they all stop hanging out on zoom together? And just talk to each other individually? Without the podcast, would them talking as a group be rare?
If not, then why stop the podcast?
If so, then why stop the podcast?
I'll stop whining but I just want them to know, if they ever find this blog, that I love getting a window into their fun friendship 🧡
I'm imagining Nat and Aly seeing this show and laughing about it after with Elliott. I would love for him to go on the Let's Get Haunted podcast again. Or for the girls to guest on The Valleycast and talk about fun creepy shit 👽👻
19:58 Why be a killjoy when you can just enjoy the magic.
I know someone who is like that with movies. If the movie has demons or ghosts in it, they wont get into it because "that's not true!" It's very annoying.
Yes, I agree that the show Elliott went to is bullshit but I wouldn't kill the fun by acting like I'm better than everyone else. It's fun to talk about ghosts stories with people who DO believe in it.
Or at least love talking about fun "what ifs" with friends:
"What if you had the power to teleport?"
"What if you became rich?"
"What if the Cloverfield monster just came out of nowhere right now!"
"What if you saw a ghost?"
If we can have fun like that then why can't we have fun listening to others talk about what we think is fake? Also, context matters, I'm not saying that skeptics should never voice their opinions. I'm saying that skeptics shouldn't go to a show, podcast, or a hangout and kill the mood for everyone because skeptics want to stand out as "the smart one."
I'm a skeptic who hates other skeptics 😂
I loved seeing the positive comments for Elliott on this episode! I didn't really timestamp in this post, was too busy enjoying his story. This episode was funny and cozy.
