Geoff Ramsey

F**kface Break Show

Clutch My Pearls

ANMA

So... Alright

Annnnnnd Rooster Teeth is shutting down after I just found out about his podcasts.... I've been marathoning them before they get taken down or something. But he has said that he plans on continuing these podcast in a different form and under a different name so not all is lost. 
I wish him and his friends the best.

And I'm so happy that he got married again. This might be weird to say but I find it so sweet that he's getting married a third time. Because it shows that he hasn't given up hope on love and finding someone who makes marriage fun. I love that she even says, "I'm not the same person as your ex so don't expect the same outcome." 

In a world where many people only get married because it's expected of them or they never get married again because it didn't work out the first time, it's romantic to see that Geoff is following his heart. Fuck popular opinion and statistics. Just live life how you want, what feels right for you. 

I love that he says she makes fun of him now for saying at the start of their relationship, "I'll never get married again." But look at him now 🩷

Forgot to Save

I'm happy their back! A podcast about playing videogames they always wanted to check out but just haven't yet. It's good motivation. I started taking out my old systems and making room for them to replay or try some old games that I've had my eye on. 

Relistening to the EZU podcasts

I love Steve Zaragoza and his friends.

Sachie's vlogs

I love her cozy aesthetic. I wish she did longer vlogs. 
 

Marathoning Brittany Broski's channel

Cyberpunk 2077 novel

Loved it. Love the dark world and ending.

(Small spoilers):
Fans who complain that stories are too depressing nowadays need to look around. There are still so many stories where everything works out in the end; "the power of friendship saves the day!" So, many of those stories are still around. Start getting used to seeing spaces for more stories where evil wins no matter how powerful your friendship is. 

Its refreshing to not be able to predict who might win vs in the past, we always knew it would work out for our heroes. 

Talk To Me

A very good movie for their first movie. Can't wait for their next one. 

No One Will Save You

Loved this! I didn't even notice that there wasn't any dialogue until 25 minutes in or so. I loved the ending. The people that want more explanation can learn to use their imagination and fuck off. Movies shouldn't have to force feed us lore. The lore isn't needed because we are here for the horror and outcome of the main character. 

"That's kind of a fucked up ending!" It's a horror movie, it should be fucked up.
I'm not into family friendly horror.

Transformers: Rise of the Beast

Guilty pleasure 😍

South Park: Joining the Panderverse

I'm so fucking happy that South Park can still make me laugh. I loved this. I hope they make another game where we play as "the new kid."

No Country for Old Men

I loved how realistic and dark this movie was. It's not for everyone but I loved how close to real life it was and real life isn't always satisfying. Can't wait to listen to the audio book because if a movie is good, then the book is always better.

The Friendship Game

It gets "eh" right before the ending but the rest of the 90% of it was fun. I loved imagining this movie as an anime. I want to see more creative stories like this that focus heavy on character friendships and relationships while the supernatural shit is just background noise. Not a perfect movie but a really fun one with realistic young characters.

Cyberpunk DLC

Fucking amazing. I was invested in the story and characters. Instantly interested. The President was hard to hate, I thought she was fucking cool even if I disagreed with her. Love it when characters like that are in stories.

The ending was heartbreaking even though I thought about that happening, it was still shocking to hear the character say those words to confirm my guess. I loved the writing and storytelling. 

Scars Above

This was a very nice find. I just got it because it was on sale for very cheap and I would've paid full price if I had known I would've liked it this much. Reminded me of Mass Effect.

Quantum Break

I can't believe I've never played this game before. I also, can't believe that people say this game wasn't that well liked when it came out. I think maybe it was before it's time with it showing a live action show with the gameplay. It was awesome to see areas in the show being in the game and areas in the game being in the show! The game we see it from the main characters' point of view and the show was from the side characters' point of view. 

This is why I think videogames are the best form of story telling. It can do it all. Anything movies and shows can do, videogames can do. It doesn't need to be a shooter to be fun. This game could've been a "walking simulator" or visual novel and I still would've loved it. This story about controlling time, and time travel, is my favorite because it has a rule that they can't go back in time past the point of the first activation of the time machine. 

I love this limit on traveling to the past because it stops all the tropes and cliches that other stories with time travel touch on. "Lets go make sure our enemy is never born!" "Don't become your own grandparent!" This game focuses on a smaller time frame than other time travel stories and it having the time control power being in a focused area bubble is really different from other stories too!

If I had played this game when it came out, it would've been my Game of the Year. 

The Long Dark DLC

A very good game to play while listening to a podcast or music. Sometimes I don't listen to anything because I love imagining that I'm the character in the game and in nature. I love just hearing the game sounds (I turn off the in-game music.) like; walking, cooking, crafting, eating, animal and weather noise.

I loved this DLC, it added more quests, items and we can now see our character's hands covered in any clothing we put on. Before it would just show default hands but now, it's fun to wear different gloves and jackets just to see it animated on our character.

Bramble: The Mountain King

I beautiful and dark game that I knew was creepy but didn't expect it to get that dark. I love when horror doesn't warn you for triggering content. It being horror should be warning enough to expect anything evil. 

PowerWash Simulator

Another very good game to play while listening to a podcast or audiobook. It feels so satisfying to clean dirt and mug and seeing everything clean. Played it on Xbox Game Pass 👌

The Lamplighters League

The characters feel like they're from Team Fortress 2 but set in a dramatic world. I loved it. This game should be more popular. 

I love that the story is about stopping the end of the world but not with the typical heroes. They don't even believe in supernatural shit but they were hired by someone who does. I love when a story doesn't have their characters always being so noble and kind to fit the title of being a hero.

Sea of Stars

Very beautiful game and I love that the female character has the same name as me 💖 I hated the friend that tags along with them. HATE HIM. He couldn't leave the party sooner. The game gets 100 times better once he's out because of the reveal. The reveal to the world becoming bigger is my jam. I thought this game was going to be shorter but no, it's a long game. Love that. 

Hazbin Hotel

I loved this show but wish it was more dark than "we're best friends until the end!" Also, the final fight was kinda cringy but over all, I enjoyed this show very much. Can't wait for season 2.

I ordered the beautiful trading cards and can't wait for them to get here! 

Blogging and emailing

Link

I've been really enjoying being active on my blog that I usually only used for my seasonal favorites and disappointments. And it got me motivated to email podcasts I love because I'm sick of being a lurker. Maybe I'll get lucky and have them read my email just to know that I exist for the moment they are reading it. Like, when streamers shout out usernames or someone you're a fan of gives your tweet a "like", it feels exciting! 



Bad stuff:

Link

(Me trying to stay calm and see if I can recover my videos from my deleted channel while David takes a relaxing shower and has no idea that I'm stressing.........)

("For any reason" fuck you.)

Also, Gen V was okay. It started out strong but then focused too much on love interest bullshit. It's not the main point but it's a big point that is hard to not let it bother me. At least, it got me excited for the next season of The Boys. I'm done with teen characters being main characters. 

Sword and Fairy: Together Forever is very beautiful and started off fun but got so boring so fast. I stayed to see how the romance ended and it was a big disappointment. Do not play this game for the romantic storylines. They don't even kiss. 

The Curse was just a waste of time. A very cool ending that the series doesn't deserve. 

The Bear I loved the first season because it was nice to see after watching the movie, The Menu and comparing what was overdramatic and what was actually true in the restaurant world. But the second season was so bad, I'm dropping the show. The tone completely changes. Only the episode, "Forks" was worth watching. 


Coral Island was a game I was looking forward to because of the hype and it seems like it could be a really good game...once it's finished. It has a very annoying bug where it crashes randomly and you waste the whole in game day because it doesn't save your progress until you sleep at night. This makes me hate how I can't save anywhere I want. Unplayable with that bug. And the only character I want to romance has a bug where I can't progress his story so that's when I quit. I'll wait until it's done. Don't make players pay to be your game testers. It's not fun playing a broken game. 


Everything Everywhere All At Once is a really fucking cool concept but I really hate the tone of the comedy and characters. They act like characters in a family friendly movie but this movie isn't family friendly. It doesn't fit. I hated it. I want to see this same story done again with either a more dry comedy or more serious with little to no comedy. 🤞

Aftershow for The Valleycast - A Wildly Inappropriate Analysis of Hollywood's Newest Stars

 

Link

They start talking about why I don't care if therapists get replaced by AI. If they don't give a fuck once the hour is up then at least people can expect that heartlessness from AI from the start. People will always surprise and disappoint us because the world runs on money. 

The only time AI can surprise and disappoint us is when it glitches (or being used by evil people). 

Therapy should charge less so people can afford longer sessions for more help and a fast way to make that happen is if they're replaceable. 

Then they go on a rant about how some actor wants his name said a certain way and I just don't see the problem. I think because I'm so understanding of people who are sick and tired of people saying their name wrong. When people don't say Valeria correctly, I cringe. Valerie is fine.

Gustavo from Rooster Teeth, is putting his foot down and is going by his real name now. "Gus" is not his name and he says this in his podcast, ANMA. But so many people would just switch to calling him, Gus and he would let it slide. But now, he's had enough. 

Also, I know someone named, Milk and someone named, Stone. I don't give a fuck. I'll say whatever they want to be called. Just think of it as a username if that helps you get over yourself.

The thought, "huh, that's a weird name" does pop into my head but I don't get heated about it. The only time I do is if it's fictional characters, when creators are either lazy with a name or too dramatic with it.

Next they talk about actors who might not be that skilled but will get popular just because they're hot.

Isn't Keanu Reeves one of those actors who doesn't have much of a range? Just a pretty face. I will say I love him in comedy because he seems to have more range there. And in Cyberpunk 2077, I loved him playing as a big jerk. 

36:31 LOL

They talk about Dune movies but I've never seen them and don't plan to anytime soon. I wish they can talk about movies with full spoilers for those of us who have no idea what they are talking about. They have to dance around details for people that do know. They really need a movie club.

56:12 Yes! I enjoyed this movie so much. I didn't understand the hate for such a fun movie. Be annoyed with the silly cliches but to hate it so much? 🤷

The ending to this episode was:

Aftershow for The Broski Report - WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

Link

2:27-3:00 😂 I wish Dynamic Banter went back to this but it wont, thanks to Kevin and his stans. People forgetting what they were talking about is funny and I don't want that being taken away from The Broski Report. I hope she never has someone else in the room with her 🤞

The editors are already annoying me. It's funny when her green hats get messed up with the greenscreen behind her. It's part of the charm of the show. Please not another situation where the behind the camera people "don't know funny if it hit them in the face" like the ones at SourceFed! (Finding that out was such a let down.) We aren't here for "professional production." We're here for Brittany and her personality. Let her wear whatever the fuck she wants. I even miss the old microphone look. This one is boring. I'm sure when she was sent that, her team told her to quickly switch to it.

9:57 How is this not funny to others?! I love listening to them get frustrated with losing their train of thought! Fuck you, Kevin! 

11:29 So fucking real!!! I love that she said this. Man or woman, ghosting (out of the blue after having fun banter) is shitty. Steal their jokes 💅

I love that she's aware that it's not a "situationship" but she's saying it is while laughing and because it's her fucking podcast. She'll call something whatever name she wants. And she's explaining how it made her feel and those feelings are real. Fuck the fans who want to say she's being too serious about him. And I love that she yells "fuck you" to anyone who is, might and will give her shit for being this way.

Don't like hearing her talk about something you don't think is all that serious? Then stop listening. They love to compare her to creepy obsessed men but it's not the same. She shares parts of her life and thoughts with us to rant or nerd out about on a comedy podcast. 

Don't listen to a podcast about her life if you're not interested in her life. Check out her TikTok and Instagram if you just want skits.

24:10 I love SpongeBob, Friends, Reba, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Family Matters, The Office, The Simpsons, Futurama, South Park, Parks and Recreation.

Fuck judgement, just watch all shows without feeling like you have to stick to ones based on your age group. "That's for old people!" "That's for babies!" "That's for edgelords!" "That's for cringe culture!" How about, it's for a good time? How about, it's for having something funny to watch when I don't want to watch Youtubers at the moment? How about that?

31:20-33:37 I love the road this started to go down LOL! Steve Zaragoza would love her in his friend group! Why haven't they met yet?!

35:38 And a Owen Carter, a Ryan Farroki, a Nat Strawn and a Brad Evans. (My favorite editors.)

I love that she loves the movie Cars because I felt like the only one who really loved that movie. Everyone around me acted like it was just okay.

Laughing at Joe's text for about eight minutes was so fun!

Elliott's magic show story was great. He should do more solo episodes. 

20:21 What the fuck was wrong with that crowd?! 😂

26:10 LOL

I also didn't really like Aliens. I thought the first one was really good that I was disappointed with the second one. I didn't have a problem with how the aliens looked, I just hated the acting and dialogue. I'm not into cheesy, cliche lines (unless it's comedy). 

I just hated that the soldiers were such crybabies but they're supposed to be badasses. The science team in the first movie were more badass than those soldiers. I expected them to be cool, calm and collected, just experienced soldiers! With only the other characters freaking out for the audience to relate to.

So, I don't fully agree with Kevin on why I didn't like the Aliens because I thought it looked fine. And overall it was fun to watch. I was never "bored" like Kevin was. I just rolled my eyes a lot at the pathetic soldiers who complained all the time and had bad aim. 

56:34 I get being protective and upset when someone you know doesn't like the same thing you do but get over it. I can't make fans see that Mass Effect Andromeda is better than Mass Effect 1, no matter how much I want to. 

#NotEverythingIsForEveryone

Also, Steve said in a Twitch stream this week that there's something exciting coming to The Valleyfolk Patreon! I'm so happy to hear that. I hope this isn't false hope though because he didn't want to fully say what, just so he can't be forced to stick with that plan if it can't happen.

It's also the stream that he turns my username into a bit 😎

Aftershow for The Broski Report - I Have Horrible News

Link

I feel so bad for her but I love that she shares and talks about this openly because this is her life. If a man isn't comfortable with that then they're not a good fit for her. She's not naming names or shares anything that people can go look him up.

So, fans that think, "no wonder he's not talking to her anymore, he's freaked out by how she talks about him." You bitches want Brittany to censer herself for a man? For you?! Just shut up and leave if her content isn't for you because her oversharing is her content.

If seeing her true self on display is gonna creep someone out then they can leave. And she can be sad about that while knowing it's for the best. 

You bitches act like she's doxing him. We know he's Irish, male, white, funny and on a dating app. ~Wow, so much details! Someone stop her~ 

"I wouldn't like it if someone talked about me on a podcast." No one knows it's you but you. If you pissed a stranger off or made their day, that stranger might have a podcast or TikTok account that they will talk about you. Get with the times, it's how it is now. The best thing you can hope for is they aren't doxing you. Other than that, it's fair game.

She's doing nothing wrong. No one knows it's him unless he wants to out himself by saying, "Hey, that's me! Stop talking about me!" 🙄

No one complains when she talks about her family or friends who aren't content creators. Why defend a random man? It's not even the reason he stopped talking to her. He just got bored because it's long distance. That's it. She's allowed to rant and feel hurt about that while understanding the reasons. The podcast is her being over dramatic for comedic effect. 

His loss for ghosting. He could at least be honest and say that it's too long of a wait but if he's still free when she goes over, he would love to meet up. But for now, he wants to find someone near him. How is that so hard? Grow up, use your words and have the awkward conversation so the other person can know what's up. 

Stanley bit is great.

Her and Steve need to make an fun album together!

LOL

12:55 😂
The whole topic of her and her son is so funny! How can anyone not find this funny? Get a sense of humor, losers.

🤮

👍

34:10 This reminds me of Belle Delphine's video of being a sex toy. (I love Belle. I think her and Bree Essrig would get along.)

37:29 Her rants are so fucking funny! Her and Steve need to meet and become close friends.

I don't care if Brittany rants about everything I love if they make me laugh and I wish other fans would agree. Instead of being butthurt or annoyed if they disagree with her rants. Learn to put yourself in a mindset of being in a "yes and" mood before clicking on comedy content. 

(I don't need others to agree with me but when they do, it feels good 🥰)

Aftershow for The Valleycast - Joe and Elliott Have A... "LOT TO ANSWER FOR!"

Table Talk styled questions 💕

Joe and Kevin are excited to be on another podcast. (I checked it out and it's not for me.) Why are they still on Zoom if they're doing another podcast in person? I thought the point was because Joe and Elliott couldn't risk getting their wives sick. Do they just live far from each other then? Why did they stop using Steve's extra room? 

Joe, Elliott and Steve are fucking funny. I hate that they gave up on this channel, they have an awesome, talented friend group that plays well off each other. So many other Youtubers lack that dynamic and I hate to see it go to waste because of the Lee drama.

I wish that those of us that stayed was enough for them to want to work on the channel. They joke that there's only 10 or less of us, (there's over 1,000 views right now on Youtube, which means there are even more listeners.) even if that were true, why not give us their full attention? We're still here because we're big fans. 

Steve will stream with just 40 people watching and have so much fun doing it. Why can't he bring that same energy for The Valleycast? Just have The Valleyfolk channel as a fun hobby. Do something with it whenever they have time but don't give up on it just because it's not a way to pay bills anymore. 

Turn it into an audio only podcast and record themselves meeting up at a cafe, park, library (they have those "study rooms" for privacy) or a restaurant and sit down and talk into their microphones. Starting with what they ordered. The Valleycast can be that cozy, it fits the vibe of what their office looked like.


I think I need to accept that The Valleycast might end sooner than I think. I don't want to be depressed when that day comes. I really need to think about how there are hours of footage of these boys that I'll always have to look back on. 

I just learned that Rooster Teeth is shutting down today and I don't want to feel this shocked when it happens with The Valleyfolk. 


With Elliott, he sometimes does his podcast with his friend, Peter. 

With Joe, it's that other podcast and channel he does but I already know that I'm not going to watch those... I've tried but those videos aren't my type of humor. I love Joe but he doesn't carry the comedy enough for me to want to watch that react shit. At least I'll be following him on Instagram.

With Steve, he has Dynamic Banter, Twitch, Instagram, and TikTok streams and hopefully he does It Feel Like The First Time podcast again with Brett! (And I would like to hear Owen again too but I know it'll be rare.)


I'll still have content to watch but it's sad that I wont get them all together, after The Valleyfolk, because they make magic together 🧡

The googling in this episode is great.
She really feels like a friend we are in the same room with and listening to 😊

1:47 Funny bit.

9:53 Another funny bit.

She couldn't think of the word she wants and it's hilarious. 

24:08 Something I wish my family would keep in mind. It's fine to believe in God while questioning man-made stuff, like books. God will know our heart is in the right place but my family thinks that doubting the bible is doubting God....

30:53 😂
I showed this to my husband and he laughed and asked if she was playing around or if she was serious. I showed him the clips of her saying animated cars are sexy and he didn't seem all that freaked out. He did laugh but when he finds out that I like those car characters too, I wont be worried 🩷

I kinda wasn't worried before since I post about it because I know he could be reading my blog anytime, it's not hidden. But it's awesome to get conformation on his feelings anyways. 

52:19 Funny bit.

57:05 Another funny bit.


I didn't have much to add because I was too busy enjoying this episode. (These posts are just for me to have the episodes organized when I want to rewatch them.)

Unofficial aftershow for the official AFTERSHOW: Bees

I was a fan since SourceFed and was excited hearing about Cloverfeels, Dynamic Banter and It Feels Like The First Time because I love Steve Zaragoza. But I was just a lurker and I'm sick of being one.

I agree with the quote, "Be critical of the media you love." I'm going to be critical for selfish reasons because that's what being a fan is all about! Like, nitpicking a series you love.

I've already started some "aftershow" posts of DB and The Valleyfolk in December, but now I feel like relistening to Talkin' Banter. 

I enjoyed finding Owlbynight's blog (and relating to his feelings on Steve).

1:30 Owen's voice is much more soothing than Kevins so it is a shame Owen doesn't want to be apart of the show as much Kevin does. I love listening to Owen talk. Brett's voice is hot too.

I love erotic audios, so I'm drawn to the sound of someone's voice. I don't get suddenly turned on but it is an immediate attraction to whoever is speaking. Like, seeing hot people in movies, you don't get horny on the spot but it's still nice watching them. So, Owen and Brett's voices are nice to hear. 

7:56 That must have felt so good to get that complement from Owen. (The Snapchat video he's talking about.)


10:14-11:20 Say it louder for Kevin in the back!
There's no "worry" that they will forget what they were talking about because Kevin makes sure the boys stay on track now. There's no "worry" that they will talk about a topic incorrectly because Kevin will look up the information. DB loses the magic of forgetting about topics because of a long bit and DB loses episodes where they "bungled it." 

Anyway, it's sweet how much Owen loves them. I hope that when Mike and Steve listened, they had the biggest smiles on their faces. He's their friend but he sounds like a fan in that moment 🧡 

I love Talkin' Banter so much for giving us a peek into their friendship.

15:40 Owen liked Ryan before they became friends!
Ryan is closer to Owen's vibe while Kevin is closer to Steve's. But "Kevin is the new Steve" doesn't fit because DB doesn't need a new Steve, so they feel the need to compare him to Owen 🙄

19:40 They haven't heard Mike's music yet.
I have 3 songs of his in a playlist on Spotify.

20:52 - 21:52 I agree with Owen.

24:51 He was in high school in 1996, I'm guessing as a Freshmen.
I didn't know there were so many Mormons in Phoenix until my Junior year, 2007. My cousin went to the same high school as me and became obsessed with a boy there and found out he was Mormon. She became interested in that religion just for him.

She brought that world into our lives 😒 Her mom became a Mormon then my mom did, for a while. Then my best friend (who was also her best friend) was looking into it but never joined. (Yay!) I was dragged to go to a few Mormon events but I was loyal (lol) to staying Catholic. (I'm not Catholic anymore but I still believe in God, just not in any religion.) 

It was good at least, to learn about them even if I didn't agree with them. I liked feeling like my world got bigger and made me really want to leave Arizona and travel. 

I got to go to Japan because it was with the school. If you take Japanese for 3 years, you can go to Japan during the summer.

(I'm the one with my hand on the wall.)

I also got to visit California with the school by joining the "Asian Studies Club." All we did was sell ramen during lunch time in that club. $1 a cup. If we each worked during lunch a number of times, then we got to go on the trip. It was a weird club because I don't remember studying anything... It was just a place to hangout with people who liked anime.

The teachers in charge of that club were smart. Got a free vacation every year because of over priced ramen 😂 but kids bought them. There was always a line, especially during winter.

(I'm on the left end, standing up.)

California and Japan with no parents, just my friends? I do feel lucky as fuck for being able to experience that.


Then I got to have a taste of camping with the school by joining a club(?) called "Bobcat Town." I only went one year and they only took kids who haven't been before so no one got to go a second time. We were told not to talk about it and the secret made kids interested to sign up.

My friendship with my best friend became stronger. We were put into small groups by random. We got sad and said goodbye to each other but we ended up being in the same group! Other friends got split up that we felt so lucky. We didn't say shit just in case the adults would change us out if they knew. 

The food was so good! I remember that very well. It was shocking how good it was. And our cabins were really cute and cozy. And it was the first time I got to play in snow.

Okay, so it was revealed that this camp was group therapy. We talked about race, gender role stereotypes, sexual orientation, religion, cultures, and our past and home life.

My friend and I talked about things that we didn't know about each other and stuff we might not have shared if it wasn't for this club (it was a three day thing). It pushed us to share our family dramas and it made sense why they didn't want close friends in the same group. People shared personal stories more easily with strangers. I'm glad it made us closer instead of adding an awkwardness between us. 

And that is why they don't want us telling anyone at school what Bobcat Town is. They said if kids knew it was heavy stuff then they wont want to come. They're right. If I heard that, I wouldn't have signed up.

If it rubs you the wrong way to know that adults tricked teens into getting therapy, just know that I'm glad I experienced it. But it was a risk making kids share trauma they aren't prepared to talk about. So, I wouldn't recommend it.

(Red is me and blue is my friend. The boring shirts they gave us on the last day.)

Anyway, I've also been to New York twice for Comic-con but that was only thanks to my aunt who paid for my plain tickets and my mom paid her back with payments.

(2013)

(2014)

I visited California again, for Anime Expo around 2011 (I think.) with my best friend but I guess we didn't take any pictures because I can't find any....

And now I live in West Virginia. I'm so happy to be so far from home. $425 a month for rent, in a house! I'm never leaving the countryside. 

(Bye bye, Phoenix heat.)

It's fun reliving and sharing my "History Road."

Owen says he grew up religious. I wonder how his family responded to him becoming an atheist. Was it easy to lose faith or did he struggle with it?

Not following Christian rules as been a struggle for my mom to accept. She's the only person in my life that bugs me about it. Everyone else leaves me alone, they don't "poke" at the topic with me.

I wonder how it was with Steve and his family. I love how much his mom supports him and watches everything he's in. 

29:46 I never had to go to a "church sleepover." Or any church event.

Other than my mom pushing us to go to church every Sunday, that was pretty much it. (Until my cousin became Mormon when I was 17). I'm so glad to have had a fun childhood where I could hangout wherever and with whoever I wanted to.

But Owen seeing the movie, Spaceballs at one, makes it seem like church sleepovers weren't that boring. Good for him. 

I do remember my first communion because my dad actually went to that.
But other than that, Sunday church was the only thing. 

My mom became strict once I turned 16 and started calling rock music, "evil." So, that was fun because almost every CD I owned was rock 🙃

30:08 My first R-rated movie was A Nightmare on Elm Street or Halloween. I loved watching scary movies with others. My friends, cousins and aunts would scream and it made me laugh and feel brave that I never screamed. (I jumped though!)

I was never interested nor "sexually awakened" by sex scenes. I always skipped them or muted the tv. So, what did it for me was when I was the only one up late watching random channels and seeing a Girls Gone Wild commercial. I was imagining myself in their shoes, being wanted by guys. I wasn't attracted to the girls, they were "self-inserts" for me.  

(I know Owen didn't expand more on seeing a sex scene for the first time but him just saying that made me think up my memory of seeing GGW.) But other than that, I never cared about sex scenes.

I did have cartoon character crushes though. Like, Sideburn from Transformers RID 😂

She gets me.

Cars are sexy 🤷

I loved going to the movies and sneaking into other rooms to see another. I always loved seeing two for the price of one. It made the money worth it and it helped pass the time during the summer. I hated being out in that fucking sun. I loved walking around Phoenix at night.

I loved seeing Pokemon on the big screen and getting a Ancient Mew card. The next time I visit Arizona, I should bring my card collection back with me. I feel like looking at them but I'm nervous to ask my mom to ship it to me. It would suck if it got lost or damaged on it's way over. 

For my 10th birthday, my parents made it Pokemon themed 🥳

37:42 I bonded with my dad on movies too. My mom could watch horror and action but it wasn't her favorite. My brother hated horror, didn't even stay in the room to watch. 

40:08 I love how excited Owen is about doing an aftershow. He wanted to continue doing Talkin' Banter until that fucking negative email in episode 13. 

I know he would've quit sooner or later because the podcast about Lost was draining him but he wouldn't have given up that instantly if all they got was positive emails. 

That bitch took something awesome from the EZU and DB fandom that we'll never get back 😭

41:56 I have been watching and listening to everything. Owen is saying to do that as a joke. I'm doing it for real since the start of winter.

Other people that I've become a fan of on Youtube, I usually slow down with watching their stuff but I haven't with Steve's content. Since SourceFed, I've kept up with all his stuff. His vibe is nerdy "feel-good" and hilarious. It's really cool to find someone who has a kind heart and who is very funny. He's the best person on the planet. 

And with Owen being his best friend, Owen must be the 2nd best person on the planet. 


Anyway, thanks for reading.
