Just watched Maxxxine and Longlegs just to quickly continue listening to this episode. All I knew about them was that they were horror movies. And I didn't want to hear what the boys thought about them and having their opinion stuck in my head while I watched.
I'm glad I didn't hear Steve say which he liked more because I liked both. Wasn't disappointed at the end of either of them ๐
I do agree with Steve about hating the trope of "the wife being angry with the husband for having a job that keeps him from home." Just have them understand or have them go with the husband to be together. Either she has the same job or is just tagging along because they're a power couple and fuck the rules.
Just have their drama be something that isn't, "I hate that you really love your job!"
15:15 Every time I miss Phoenix, I remember the heat and don't miss it anymore. Fuck dry heat. Humid is so much better because I just need to put a fan on and I'm getting cool air blowing on me. In AZ, it would just be hot air....
Complaining about not being able to keep up with new terms ๐ Boohoo. You have to learn something new once in a while.
It's crazy to me that Joe shook his head every time Steve said that peeing in the pool is wrong. Ew, Joe. What the fuck?
There's not caring about pee in a pool and then there's not seeing the problem with peeing in the pool. Don't play dumb, Joe. We all know that you know why people find it gross.
How to GROW AN EAR IN YOUR ARM (Doctors hate this one trick!)
We learn that Kevin doesn't know what "greenhouse" means. Keep up, Kevin.
Every time Cody Ko is mentioned, I get sad for Brittany Broski losing a friend by finding out he's a piece of shit. Makes me think of Ryan Haywood from Rooster Teeth. I get sad thinking about Meg Turney (and the AH crew) losing a friend. It sucks when men trick women into thinking they're nice guys.
It's weird that they hate the Deadpool humor. It's the same humor as theirs but it's a fictional character. They have so many gay jokes and childish jokes too sometimes. Weird. Plus, there's only been two movies of Deadpool, right? They act like he has 8 movies.
The "Would you rather" talks are always amazing. I really hope the last big push they do for the Patreons works out. I'm going to be sad when they stop doing the podcast because of what Lee did.
I know I don't know what she did but I know she's the reason they lost fans. They still care about her and don't want to ruin her reputation but she doesn't give a fuck about their reputation.
The boys aren't sexist. If they were, others wouldn't stand behind them and show support. But they still have support and friends. The only one supporting Lee, is Trisha. And that's because Trisha didn't want to know what she did. (Trisha said this in a Twitch stream.)
Lee did something that the boys all couldn't take anymore.
I really hope they keep doing the podcast for a long fucking time. They are so fuckin' funny. It would suck to not see them play off each other anymore.
I can love them doing their own things but I'll fucking miss them doing bits together.
Every podcastepisode with Steve, Joe and Elliott is a treat. (Kevin is funny too but the Lee drama isn't about him.)
Anyway, I would rather be in a room full of people I've thirst over. I don't want to know or see the people who thirst over me because they are most likely ugly ๐คท
If I could be famous in any era it would be the 90s. I would love to be a famous person who helps uplift and cheer for Slipknot because they had trouble at first with people looking down on their music and style.
Even if I was just a famous model or famous chef, I would shout-out Slipknot anytime all eyes were on me.
I kinda did that when I was in high school, anytime music was brought up, I talked about Korn. I ended up meeting and becoming close with a friend who was goth because they couldn't believe I listened to hard rock. High school was fun ๐
(A flip phone picture of me in 2007 lol! I was 17. I want to see more female characters in movies, shows, games and books where they love dressing girly and cute but LOVE metal music. Please and thank you.)
Being in their friend group would be amazing. I wouldn't be famous for music so I would have to hang out with them in other settings. I would love to talk about horror movies, horror books, anime and games so maybe I would catch them at a convention or movie premieres and hangout bonding over nerdy stuff.
Maybe I'd say, "fuck it" and pay for a VIP ticket to one of their shows to meet them as soon as possible. (Do famous people do that for other famous people?)
It's fun imagining that after seeing my support and becoming friends, that they might come to my work spaces to show support back. It would be interesting seeing the band in spaces that people wouldn't expect to see them in. Like, when they went on Conan O'Brien's show. They looked out of place and it was awesome!
Being close with them would be fun! At least with Corey Taylor because based on his books, "meet and greets" and interviews, he seems like a cool friend for life. And he's really charming on stage:
I talked about how I didn't care for concerts or live shows (after clicking this link, press ctrl+F and type in "concert") but these past few weeks, I've started to understand them. It's not about listening to my favorite songs live, it's about seeing them put on a fun show and getting the audience involved. With Slipknot shows, Corey really cares about his fans.
To have more fun with this question; I would like to be famous enough to own a radio station and play any song I wanted uncensored. Sometimes just play the whole album of a band before moving on to a different band.
The only talking would be at certain times to breaking down the lyrics of songs so people know what it's about vs judging it's just violent and satanic. Rock songs are very poetic.
Also, ad breaks would just be a funny way of promoting stuff I actually like. In the style of Dynamic Banter and Let's Get Haunted.
And maybe I'll play ASMR at night so people can leave their radio's on and fall asleep to rain sounds or to a fireplace.
If the station I own is located in Phoenix, AZ then I know those people would love to hear rain or snowstorm sounds. I grew up there and I hate summer forever now. (Can't wait for winter!)
27:16 People who can't sympathize and understand her feelings can fuck off. People think everything is black and white but she's not one-dimensional. Good people will make mistakes.
Either give her another chance or move on. I don't understand people who love to hate-watch and stay updated with people they are so angry with. If you don't forgive her, that's fair BUT don't stay in the fandom just to leave hate comments. Fuck off.
29:42 I'm so happy for her that she's experiencing a life people wish they had. It's fun to live through her. I don't feel any jealously. It's very fun to watch her react and meet famous people. I would be too shy and she can handle her own. She's so funny AND smart. The people she meets can see that too.
She's a great interviewer who treats them like a friend or family member coming to visit and catch up.
Fans who don't get that type of humor and just think it's cringe if the interview isn't "professional" can-again, fuck off.
She asks questions that others don't ask. Others keep asking the same, safe, cookie-cutter questions that they've answered so many fucking times...now that's actually cringe. I want questions that makes them stop and think or throws them off guard and laugh or makes them want to bond with the person asking the question.
I can only imagine meeting someone you're a big fan of and being able to connect with them so quickly. That's a dream come true for every fan. And that's what Royal Court is for her. Good job, Brittany!
She then gets into speaking different languages and I love it. Feels like I'm hanging out with her while she's googling and educating me as I eat my dinner.
She ends the episode by talking about her songs of the week.
I never want to go to France. I hear they are rude and she's telling me that's true. I wish I could be carefree about that like she is.
I want her on Let's Get Haunted talking about this topic with Nat and Aly. They love talking about death and the Catacombs.
20:39 Thinking about something a little longer and freaking out. Hahaha!
I'm glad she had a good time traveling and hanging out with her friends. Keeping her mind off internet rumors and drama about her. I hope she continues to grow friendships the more stupid, unfair shit is said about her. She's just herself and is getting paid for it ๐
When people talk about going down the rabbit hole of Youtube videos, they usually are about history or conspiracies. Something educational at least. For me, it's fandom shit. I start binge watching manga/book haul videos, interviews of Slipknot, and TV show reactions (atm it's Hazbin Hotel and The Boys reactions/watch-a-longs).
Professor Broski Spills Tea on WWII
If she were my teacher, even if I hated the subject, I would try to get an A on every test just to not disappoint her. I'd want to stay on the cool teacher's good side ๐
35:00 Because of that, I've been more interested in collecting games and books physically when I see them on sale. (Or when I can afford them full price.) I hate the idea that all the stuff I own digitally can be taken away at any moment.
I recently lost my Youtube channel that I've had since 2006 and that still hurts thinking about. My videos of meeting Meg Turney and Alchestbreach in 2013-2014 are gone forever. Google was able to send me most of my video files to my email but some files had errors....
I thought my Youtube was a safe place to store videos so they wouldn't take up space on my computer. I'm a nobody, so there's no reason my channel would get hacked, deleted or locked.... Or so I thought. Fuck you, Youtube.
Anyway, it just made me think about truly owning something and keeping it safe is when you physically have it. I've thought about printing out my favorite fanfiction stories too. Good fanfiction is hard to find so I want them to stay around forever.
Dragons are REAL
4:57 ๐ฉท I'm not into dragon and that whole theme but I love hearing her geek out about it.
I wish she would get into Slipknot but I don't think she would like the heavy music....and their masks aren't sexy, just scary. But if I'm wrong and she can get into them, I would love for her to interview Corey Taylor.
Plus, he's in another band where he doesn't wear the mask and the music isn't as heavy, maybe Brittany can become a fan of his from that side of him:
She would've made this experience for him way more fun. There would be no awkward silences and she wouldn't just leave him to do all the talking.
As we can see from this episode, Brittany is a big nerd too so she would connect with him on that ๐ Plus, I think she could really make him laugh because their both goofy.
22:28 Haters love to make up stories to pass the time.
I love the friendship she has with her friend!
I used to be goofy and hyper like that with my cousin. We got into an ugly argument in 2009 and haven't been close anymore. That part of me is just for myself now. I'm too shy to act as silly as I was with her to my husband and my best friend.
I made an ugly face for comedic effect. I miss having no shame in doing that in front of someone. I care how I look with everyone else and I don't know how to get into the mindset of not caring.
I miss how I was with her.
I think that's why I like Brittany so much. She has past Steve Zaragoza, who has been in my number one spot for funniest people on the planet for 10+ years. I relate strongly to Steve but with Brittany it's on another level. She's like a combination of me and my cousin.
I wonder if they still think, stakin' breaks, sounds good or if they cringe about it now.
8:50 I agree, Owen. Lots of people love to daydream and turn it into a conspiracy.
Owen asks why everyone makes T-shirts and posters vs something different. Thank you! I keep wondering that too. I'm so bored with T-shirts being the "exciting new merch" from creators. I wish people would sell unique merch like Dynamic Banter. I bought DB's trading cards, zine, vinyl and cassette tape.
But I asked Steve on a stream, if they would make another cassette and he said most likely not. I didn't ask why because I didn't want to come across aggressive but I'm thinking it's complicated to order and then sell? Mike mentioned that vinyls are expensive to make. Maybe they didn't sell that many cassettes to feel it's worth the trouble? Because why not sell more?
And my power goes out a lot so my radio/cassette player came in handy (takes batteries or can be plugged into the wall). It was nice to have.
Here are some clips I've kept from Steve's recent streams:
(Turning my username into a bit really made my day.)
(Someone send this to Elliott. I'm too shy.)
17:24 Right?! I wish more people would just keep scrolling too, Owen. There's too many Karens and "this doesn't relate to me, delete it now" people online....
21:23 I love how Brett was playing with him and having fun with it. I love Steve but man, he sounds like a "mean girl" every time he told that story. I KNOW Steve is a good and polite person but I still just enjoy hearing how Brett handled the guy instead.
