Talkin' Banter was a fun roleplay for them. I really love how nerdy it is because you know this wasn't really meant for fans. It was for Steve, Mike, Brett and Owen.
Fans sending them emails and tweets were great but if they didn't get anything, they were fine with it. They really loved when Jesse made an aftershow to theirs. It was a pleasant surprise for them and added to their game 🧡
3:59 It reminds me of the long bit Steve did by reading the full terms of service on Elden Ring. Now anytime the terms of service pops up while he's playing another game, the chat gets nervous because Steve will start reading it a little to "jumpscare" them. I love it every time.
I'm so happy that I got to experienced that long bit live. I was coloring, browsing online shops or working out. Something where I didn't mind what he did because I was listening to him like a podcast.
I'm happy he committed to the bit and read all of it. Some fans got annoyed and others cheered him on. Even Steve regretted it but he's also proud he did it. It was an awesome, one time thing to catch him do. Then he made his character into Shrek 😂
7:24 I don't know who those names are either. I just googled them. I relate big time with people who don't care about celebrities. My favorite band is Korn but I still have no idea what they look like. Only been to one concert and hated it because everyone was yelling and I wanted to hear the music. I was maybe 12 or 13. It was for the Goo Goo Dolls.
I never look up stuff because I don't like seeing actors who play characters who are enemies with each other, laughing and hugging on set. It breaks the immersion for me. I waited until Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul ended to watch the bloopers. (I couldn't tell you any of those actors names except for Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul because fans of the series keep saying their real names instead of their character names.)
I'm nerdy for canon stuff, not behind the scene stuff.
I think the EZU is the first time that I'm into any "behind the scene" stuff.
Do I get any "cool points" too or is it only cool if a man doesn't know actor names?
9:50 Owen didn't like looking for cool nerdy shit to buy at comic-con? I wonder if he's a minimalist. Or he just buys his nerdy stuff online.
I can't help myself, I love buying art prints, figures, keychains, and clothing at comic-con. Give me all the things that will collect dust. (I do have nightmares of my house catching on fire and losing everything but 🤷)
I wonder if he has gone to comic-con since this episode was recorded.
I miss cosplaying. I haven't been to a convention since 2014.
(Character from Attack on Titan.)
I wish I got to experience Pokemon Go when it came out. I still had a flip phone in 2016....
I like how positive Owen's outlook is on games and technology. That's how I felt too at the time. Now it just feels like only rich people can have all the fun. I still have hope that there's room for A.I. to be fun and cool for the working class too someday.
I played Pokemon Red ✌
14:24 I didn't even know there was another Independence Day movie. I know I've seen the old one but I cannot remember it. Owen saying it's bad makes me not want to rewatch. It sucks when a cool sounding story is badly executed.
Most bad movies would work better as videogames. That's what I like to think about for fun while watching a shit movie. Videogames are my favorite form of story telling. You can control so much and experience the art your own way. Even if the game has bad acting or writing, it can still be fun and interesting thanks to the gameplay. Games will always have that "last chance" to make someone love their experience with it that movies don't have.
I just finished reading Dreamcatcher by Stephen King and I loved it. It was so fun picturing the "mental battle" they had with the alien. I always imagine it with really beautiful animation or awesome video game graphics. I'm sick of Stephen King movies looking cheap as fuck.
I wish people would stop making every adaption into a live action. They would have more freedom with animation. (And if an actor needs to be replaced, it doesn't have to effect the story if all they have to do is replace a voice actor.)
Cartoons shouldn't just be for comedy or melodramatic stories.
(Maybe Independence Day would've been better as an animated movie.)
16:52 Magic Mike XXL is the better movie from that series. There was so much love for women in the movie and makes us wish that every man in the world thought like them. (Not to have every man look like them just have their mindset.) It made me feel good about getting older. Kinda like how the TV show, Friends made me feel excited to turn thirty.
It's not a good movie, it's a guilty pleaser for sure.
21:04 I wish there was recordings of them playing as a band.
I was 14 or 15 when they started. I love thinking about this stuff because I wonder if I came across them playing music or them just walking around and hanging out when I went on my California trips in High School. (2004 - 2008) We had free time to just wonder around shops in the city for an hour or two until meeting up with the teachers.
I love daydreaming that maybe I passed by them on the road, in a store, in a restaurant or the other side of the sidewalk. Either while I was on those trips or after high school when I went to LA for Anime Expo around 2011.
(Trying not to fit into the parasocial category is a daily battle 😅)
22:50 The way Owen sounds I can believe that they really did have such a good time together. I really want to hear more about it. I wonder if Brett got to hear more in private because he seemed really interested too.
This isn't the same but it's reminding me of my resentment towards one of my cousins. She was like my best friend growing up but then she changed and threw me away. It was very shocking.
She reached out to me, years later, to reconnect but it's not the same after being hurt like that. I keep the conversations short. I don't want to get close to her again. What's the point? The trust is gone.
But I love thinking about my childhood with her. Anytime I wasn't at school or with friends, I was hanging out with her. We wished we were sisters. We stayed over at each other's house so much that we asked so many times for our parents to let us live together. We didn't care which one of us had to move but they always said, no.
Like I said, not the same thing at all but hearing Owen say that he wished Steve had been there every single time, made me think of her.
Whenever me and my best friend would hang out, I thought about my cousin and how fun it would be if she was still cool and hanging with us.
Anyways, I had to google Chromecast, Firestick and Roku because I didn't know what those were. I've been using the PS3, PS4 and now PS5 for my streaming services. I've never had to think about how to watch something on my TV.
I think I may have heard about Roku before and forgot because it was never mentioned until this podcast. I feel like my world has opened up a little after learning how other people stream on TVs without gaming consoles.
Or was he actually complaining in a passive-aggressive way like he does now. Openly. Clearly. Commonly....
(I uploaded it years ago but my, Videlreyes channel was recently deleted...so I reuploaded it on my other channel.)
I did get to ask Steve this question:
But I would love to hear how Brett and Owen met. Maybe I'll ask Steve on another livestream instead of wishing for Talkin' Banter to come back to ask them.
