Aftershow for The Valleycast - Month of September

 

Most Embarrassing Celebrity Encounters (ft. William Haynes!)

16:05 Steve's mom is awesome.

I love that Will's friend was comfortable around Steve and was able to nerd out. That makes me so happy that Steve can open people up like that. I hope I can meet him someday.

30:21 I love this about Steve.

No other Youtube channel will ever top SourceFed's comedy and strong synergy for me. It was better than Rooster Teeth's. So much better and I loved Rooster Teeth.

50:27 I really want to know about Lee because not telling fans the drama is only hurting the Valleyfolk. 

So, let the truth "ruin" old videos for us by telling the whole story. Other's already feel like it's "ruined" anyway by thinking Joe, Elliott and Steve are selfish. Please, ruin one person for them vs ruining three awesome people!

Lee's stans are fucking annoying. They don't know how to calm down and think why everyone from SourceFed still talks to the boys but not Lee. (Just Trisha because she said on stream that she didn't want to know what Lee did. Hmm....)

55:01 I love that Will bugs Mike Falzone now because Mike just doesn't have a sense of humor about Will's roasts. (When was the last time Mike was roasted without being defensive on camera? When has Mike ever played along like Steve, Joe and Elliott do when they roast each other on camera?) Will roasted everyone and they always shrug it off because they know Will is just joking...on camera. So, why is roasting Mike off limits?

It's fun to see Mike get lightly picked on when he always picks on Steve and the fans of Dynamic Banter. He really just became the fun police on that podcast. (It is the reason I don't blog it anymore. I just listen for Steve.)

Mike has changed, he was chill at the start of DB but now he resists joking along with a statement he disagrees with. But Steve will "yes and" anything into a joke but Mike needs to agree with it or he wont help with the bit. (I miss chill Mike.) 

The way Mike just shit all over the "DB or Not BD" fan was such a bitch move. That fan was so excited playing along in their world, you could feel it as Steve read his email. Kevin even said that there was more to the email where he tells Kevin that Mike and Steve don't need to play the game if they don't like the new rules. Steve was into it...but since Mike wasn't they had to stop the fun.

Imagine how that fan felt after that.
Mike would've stopped "Dan's Thoughts" on It Feels Like The First Time podcast and Steve would've let him! Happy Mike, happy life??

I'm sad Steve didn't fight hard enough to keep "DB or Not DB" after asking that fan to put in the time to create another one because Owen loved it so much. Plus, that fan was such a big fan that to make that game, he was relistening to DB! That fan was having fun just for Mike to tear it part.

Why didn't Kevin interrupt Mike when he was getting mad thinking that fan was trying to take over the show? Kevin could've let them know sooner that the fan was really sweet and was just being a nerd. (After learning that, Mike didn't apologize for reacting like a baby.) Why is Kevin in charge of emails if he's going to be useless in those misunderstanding moments?

Steve puts Mike on a pedestal too much because I don't believe that Mike has "figured out what to do with his time that no one else has or does." And this is why I don't believe it:

(Is this supposed to be Mike showing that he doesn't waste time on shit from others, Steve? I think not commenting at all would actually prove that.)

(There's that second thought now though!)

This doesn't look like Mike "doesn't take shit" and "he figured out what to do with his time that no one else has or does." 

Mike cares what Will is saying, Steve. You're not fooling anyone but yourself.

I love that Will does get reactions out of Mike even if he thinks he doesn't.

"The second you give him shit he's like, 'not worth my time'." Wrong again, Steve. Mike takes shit and takes time to respond when he could just block or ignore. 

"...that no one else has or does." Prove it.

Bereta Brings Shame Upon Household with New Mustache

I like Joe's look. He always looks cool.

6:22 I love that Joe can joke like that about his kids. I think Corey Taylor could get away with joking like that and still come off as a sweet person too. But I have a feeling he doesn't like to playfully insult his son with his friends. But maybe I'm wrong, it's not like Corey records his weekly conversations with his friends for everyone to see. So, we'll never know. 

We do know, from his 3rd book, that he likes to make fun of other people's kids through. So, I wonder if he would laugh really hard at Joe's jokes.

18:45 I get both sides. I would feel safer around a calm tiger than a calm monkey because we know with a tiger, you never have your back facing them and don't run. But with a monkey, we don't know what the fuck triggers them.

But I would rather fight off a monkey than a tiger if one of them snapped. 

45:52 This is what I don't want to happen with Commander Shepard. Leave Mass Effect 3 endings ALONE!!!! Mass Effect 5 better not bring Shepard and their whole fucking crew back. 

Wings from any grocery store are good. Frozen or fresh ones.
Home cooked meals > Common Restaurant meals

Yes! Get Meg on the podcast and talk about her mug.

Convincing Joe to Watch "Chimp Crazy" (AND FAILING)

I sleep around 6am and wake up at 1-2pm. I've started reading and making coffee or tea when I wake up. And that's my morning routine, thanks for asking. 

I would never watch this show but I'm enjoying hearing it summarized by Steve and Elliott though!

I've never been to Cracker Barrel but them not having a veggie option makes me not care that I've never been to one. I eat meat but I hate when meat eaters refuse to make room for vegetarians.

I heard a man say that he cannot eat pasta without meat. And I have a friend who didn't want to make curry just because we were missing the meat. Don't lie to yourselves. You know pasta and curry is good and filling with or without meat. 

40:06 A futuristic, cyberpunk themed show would be awesome.

Diddy, Penguin, and a MIDLIFE CRISIS?!

Joe is doing a creepy smile. That wasn't hard to explain to the audio only listeners, Steve. I hate when people get lazy and just tell listeners to watch the video.

No, Kevin all month?! I'll take it. He's okay but I'm sick of him complaining about getting old. The boys talking about it, makes sense but not Kevin. He's not even 30 yet!

Also, I miss when Steve would pick out the emails in DB because the random chaos or random awesome finds fit the fucking show. #DeadBits

15:41 Hahaha!
I wish Brittany Broski can joke like this on her comedy podcast but since she's a woman, she has to be "better." Fuck her haters. I wish she could be free to just say fart jokes without expecting to be an activist too. She would love these boys. I hope they all get to meet one day.

Yeah, not kink shaming is tricky when it's someone we hate. It's so hard to not punch low and only poke at the things that matter. But most people look for more reasons to justify hating someone. It's a learning prosses to stop kink shaming, body shaming and slut shaming others over the main important reasons to shit on them for. 

43:34 Same! I get the Patch Magazine once a month. It's about cozy games; AAA and indie titles.

49:33 I would love for Steve to become a voice actor in cartoons and videogames! I think he would be great in Hazbin Hotel. That show has so much fun with their colorful characters and the songs are so good. I'm not into musicals and I loved them.

I can see Steve voicing characters like Charlie, Adam or Niffty. Just anyone with a big personality so Steve's personality can shine through. 

I love Joe's topics. I really hope the boys seen all the nice comments under this episode's video. All three of them are very talented people and I know they can get The Valleyfolk back on it's feet if they tried harder like before. I get why they gave up but I wish they wouldn't.

I wish those of us that are still here, cheering them on, was enough for them. I always let the episodes play on Spotify on mute, just to give them an extra "listen."

I'm Building Jurassic Park

Funny bit.

2:57 I love that she informs audio only listeners. Other podcasts with video versions should take notes.

4:59 Another connection to The EZU! Let's go!

I hate my hair and skin, I wonder if there's something I need to be taking that other people don't need to worry about. I just don't have the money to go see a doctor so I'll just guess.

Maybe I'll try that protein powder for my coffee too. I don't drink pop or eat fast food and I don't use the microwave and rarely get meat (because it's too much money). I know there are a lot of other unhealthy foods I could be eating but at least I know it's none of those big ones.

19:37 She could easily become one of Steve Zaragoza's closest friends.

I tried to get into making clay charms in the past and it really is hard. My first mistake was watching Youtubers who were professionals at it because they made it look easy. I'm sorry to my husband that I wasted our money on a hobby that only last three weeks. 

I think my next hobby will be book binding and I'm taking my time with it because I want to make sure I want to buy all the tools for that. I'm looking at so many videos of beginners and pros. Just to see the different ways they do it. 

I want to book bind so many Stephen King paperbacks with boring covers and I want to book bind fanfiction. I found two stories that I love and I'm very fucking picky with fanfics. These two are so good, they should be official side stories to the series they're from. 

Her freaking out over that big flower but still looking at it is fucking funny.

I had a bad day with some fake cozy girl that tried to act like she wasn't rude. Because her whole channel vibe is being a manic pixie dream girl, she will get away with pretending to never getting upset when her viewers read our comment thread. But I took screenshots just in case she edits her comments so hopefully people can see her true colors.

I think this lady bothered me so much because she's actually trying to gaslight me when other times when I call people out on being rude they admit it. They don't always say sorry and continue to be rude but they at least admit it. So, this is a first. Fuck you, fuck your friends and fuck your fans if they read the comments and still refuse to see your bitchy tone. 

When I want to be rude online I instead save it for my blog or my videos. I'm way too fucking nice and I need to stop. I wont though because there's always a chance of calming a conversation down when I call them out. Sometimes it works. Today it didn't. 

But luckily I have this episode and it really helped make my stress go away. Writing it out really helps too. Thank you, Brittany. 

I Don't Want To Be A Firefighter

She is so yandere, I love it. Let's spy on our crushes! Feels freeing to joke like this with a comedy podcast but I hate the little voice that is telling me people are clipping those parts to justify their hate for her. Joking isn't aloud from people they hate.

I wish I can just enjoy her content without thinking about what the others think too. Maybe it starts by not typing it out. I'll try that. This is the last time I'll blog about the haters because if Brittany doesn't mention them then I shouldn't either.

4:05 Exactly! People need to be all "what about me?" with everything nowadays. They can't let others have an opinion without trying to change it. Unless you ask for other view points but you didn't. #NotEverythingIsForEveryone

9:56 I really hope I get to meet you someday. I love this whole topic.

That firefighter TikTok video was funny as fuck. 

Watching someone build Legos can be fun if it's Steve Zaragoza:

Love Island & Michelangelo

The silent coyote hand sign reminds me of Corey Taylor doing the BabyMetal hand sign. It's like a cute version of the bull 🤘 

I can never be into reality TV. Sorry, Brittany but not even you can convince me that it's interesting. I used to watch dating shows when I was a teen in Phoenix but that was because I didn't have home internet and it was too late to play outside. Nothing could make me watch those shows now.

BUT I will have fun hearing you talk about it, Brittany. I really enjoyed hearing you explain to the men how it feels to be disrespected and what we want to do but know that we shouldn't. 

I loved Corey Taylor talking about how he takes care of his stuff. He's not careless just because he's rich now. I thought of that when Brittany started talking about being online too much that it's a fake connection vs living offline and having our own likes and hobbies.

Stop caring if what we love is trendy or not. Just love it. Not everything needs to be content for the world. It's okay to love stuff in private. 

That made me think of Corey Taylor because he talked about enjoying physical things vs just sticking to your tablet. Don't always let the internet tell you want is the hottest book or song right now. Go find a book or CD that no one is talking about. It might become your new favorite thing.

I'm glad Brittany is aware and trying to change; trying to not be online as much anymore. I've been good at that because I play videogames and read books so those hobbies keep me offline for fucking hours. Plus, I started working out this month and it's going good so far. 

Brittany and other podcasts are my link to keep up with what's popular online. If they don't talk about it then I'm out of the loop and I love it. If anyone is reading this and have a problem with staying off their phone but is going to try to change after hearing Brittany trying, I wish you the best of luck!

Because it does feel so free to not know what memes people are talking about and them having to explain it to me. It's so peaceful living under a rock a little and having so much time in a day for myself.

(This is how non gamers view our hobby. Even though any hobby can be seen as "a waste of time"):

(Also, I'm in the loop on important stuff like politics but just not with gossip, trends or viral videos.) 

46:43 YES. I don't understand why some fans only want Brittany to talk about drama. Just be grateful she's doing this podcast at all. Please. Her sharing what's inside her brain for an hour is awesome vs only getting TikTok videos once a week.

The Roman Colosseum & Chappell Roan

1:39 HAHAHA

10:58 Perfect.

When she talks about being a fan of Harry Styles (I never heard his music or maybe I have but I'm too lazy to look it up.) I get what she's saying about becoming a new superfan vs an old superfan. 

I really wish I had been into Slipknot as a kid so that I can grow up with them and see their friendship change throughout the years. I've learned about all that happened to them but I wish I learned about it while it was happening. 

It really is different being there vs just seeing the past in videos and articles. No matter how much I learn about their story, I still feel like I missed out. Even though every fan learns about them on screens but I would've loved watching the screen at the same moments with everyone, you know?

Plus, I'm sad I missed out being a fan while he was active online:

13:16 Yes! I love fangirl episodes.

Also, yes, there is a different level of being a fan of something I loved since I was a kid and being a fan of something I discovered this year. And it is hard to explain and compare them. It's unfair too, in a way. I'm thinking about Korn and Slipknot. 

I knew of Slipknot but I only listened to three of their songs when I was a kid. But with Korn, I LOVED EVERY SONG, EVERY ALBUM. It was the only band where I didn't skip a song. I let the whole thing play out on my CD player.

Nothing ever topped Korn for me until this year. I don't know why I didn't give Slipknot a chance or why their sound and lyrics are hitting me different now than they did when I was younger. But I'm obsessed with their songs and with their lead singer. 

And THAT is why it's different from Korn. I don't care about getting to know the singer in Korn. I LOVE his voice but that's all I need. With Slipknot, I need more Corey Taylor content. Maybe it was the mask? Finding out that someone behind the scary mask has a kind heart but not in a pushover/fake way. That has made him very interesting to me.)

I'm going to link another blog post I made of me explaining how Slipknot crashed into my life but it's bittersweet because the person who helped me see how great Slipknot is, turned out to not be a cool person.... Here's the link if you're interested.

22:08 Bam! Right there! I love that she is aware of this and I knew she was but it feels awesome to hear her say it out loud. She knows to tone herself down to new people.

Fuck, I really know Corey Taylor would LOVE to be interviewed by her. It sucks knowing that it'll never happen if she's not a fan of him. Please, whoever is reading this, tell her to listen to his Stone Sour music and if she can't stand how heavy Slipknot's music is, at least read the lyrics of those songs.

Have a picture of him wearing a one of his Slipknot masks, up on screen, as you listen to a Stone Sour song, if that helps you check him out, Brittany. I know you'll love his personality.

(It now says, "6 others liked your comment" See?! I'm not the only fan that wants you to meet him.)

33:20 Exactly! Corey Taylor said he has an idea for a book to be about just that but he's not sure yet. I hope he writes it soon. In his fourth book he really gets into the politics he agrees and disagrees with. It came out after Trump. (He hates Trump by the way. Thank god.) I disagreed with him on something, and on another thing he actually made me think and I ended up agreeing with him after sitting with it for days.

It helps that he wasn't born rich. Being poor is something you never forget. It's fucking trauma. The world leaves you behind and ignores you. ("Who still buys these?" "Who still wears these?" "After a month it's okay to spoil the videogame." "After a week it's okay to spoil the movie.")

Connecting with Corey on him growing up poor is surprisingly important to me. 

So, it's really easy to become a fan of his and stay a fan when I find stuff I disagree with him on because there is always something to disagree on with ANYONE. Your partner. Your close friends. Your family. 

It's okay to disagree and still love them because you have faith that their heart is in the right place. That, at their core, they are willing to keep learning and growing.

EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES. EVERYONE HAS RED FLAGS. So, it's really about avoiding heartless assholes. People who WANT to hurt others and WANT others rights taken away. But if they aren't like that, it's okay to respectfully disagree. Please get that through your heads. Stop making every red flag into something it's not.

44:27 Yup. Corey Taylor says too, in his book, "Fuck the fascists." So, when he talks about "both sides" he doesn't mean bigots. But everyone now only sees shit in black and white.

I'm sick of talking about this. I feel like I talk about this a lot here in so many different ways but it's the same topic! I'm done explaining my mindset. Just listen to Brittany or Corey Taylor explain it (in his America 51, audiobook).
