Aftershow for The Valleycast - Month of August

Shoulder Fetishes and Elliott is LOCKED UP

Korn reference at the start was nice.

Tank tops are awesome. Haze Kevin for his weird opinion!

I don't know, I will always feel weird that Steve doesn't like certain funny people. Ryan Reynolds, Jack Black (he's been annoyed when people compare him to Jack Black but...come on, Steve! You even sing like him!) and he doesn't like Family Guy and Friends.

(I hope he'll find Brittany Broski funny. It's my dream for them to become friends someday.)

It's like how sometimes I'll love a villain and love seeing them on screen and other times I wont. I don't know what it is in my brain that picks and chooses which evil I like and hate. I guess it's like that with Steve and funny people? Our opinions are random sometimes, I guess.

When they start talking about parents putting up with sleepovers, all I could think about was Corey Taylor's third book where he rants about his son's friends. I loved hearing him bitch about the bratty kid.

15:51 That was my experience too. I was on my best behavior when I went into other people's homes. I was on my best behavior around other adults in general. Even when those adults were pieces of shit and didn't deserve my respect.

I was shy and quiet. I don't know how any adult could find something to hate in a kid like that. If I could go back in time, I would steal shit from their homes. They would never guess it was little ol' me. I should've done something worth that hate. 

Now, I hate kids too BUT I don't show it to them. I keep to myself and try to stay away. I try not to look or talk to them when I'm around friends who have kids. Sometimes just looking is all it takes for them to take interest in a person and bug the living fuck out of them. (My Tia's son hitting me with pillows while I just try to sit down in peace and my Tia not stopping it because she thinks it's funny and cute...)

I'm never mean, even though I really want to be. It's not hard to be polite. Fuck the adults who hate kids AND show it to even the shy ones. Go bully the other kids and leave the shy ones alone! (I'm kinda joking.)

20:09 Hahaha! I like to think some parents liked me and thought this. All my friends were louder and more hyper than me (until high school but by that time, the sleepovers stopped). 

Also, I miss the days where there were no cell phones. If people weren't home then no one got mad if you didn't call them back right away. Family couldn't keep tabs on me every hour like they can now. It was fun and free. 

When I got my first cell phone in 2004, my dad got pissed anytime I didn't answer his calls. It turned him into a nag. Luckily, my mom still treated cell phones like home phones at the time; she would only turn it on if she wanted to make a call and if the person didn't answer she just left a message and turned off her phone. She didn't expect a call back, she just wanted to let someone know something.

I wish the world today wasn't glued to their phones. It's fucking annoying that most websites require a cellphone number to sign up/sign in now... Overwatch 2 wont even allow players to sign up with a prepaid number. That's the only type of phone I've used my whole life. It's cheaper and a better deal for people who don't talk on the phone a lot. I just use Discord, Instagram, Facebook or even Skype if I need to talk to someone for a long time. A cellphone plan is a waste of money when I'm already paying around $100 a month for internet.

Fuck you, Overwatch 2. And fuck  all other websites and companies that force us to have a phone number to use their "free" shit. Why do I need a phone bill to sign in?!?!

35:49 I love you, Steve.
I think I just ate anything I was given and didn't complain. Or I would throw it away without their parents knowing. I never experienced dinner at someone else place while sitting at a table. We always took the plates to their rooms to watch TV and eat in private.

I did eat with my own family at the table but if I had friends staying over, we too would just take our plates and eat in my room.

38:40 Right?! Why are the bedrooms so close to each other?

I want to delete certain memories.

We Figured Out Consciousness (ft. TikTok Star Elliott Morgan)

Elliott being into Zelda lore is awesome and cute. (Still waiting for that Zelda gameplay, Elliott.)

I love Elliott's TikTok. I love that others are finding him and seeing how funny and witty he is. I hope he does more to boost his confidence to do more for the Valleyfolk channel. 

It was as enjoyable and charming as his solo episode of the podcast.

Steve has proven to be a one man show too through his livestreams.

Joe can do it too but he always quits solo videos after seeing the views. It pisses me off when people with talent really care about views. If they keep it up, the views will go up. (I tried looking for the one I'm thinking of but I think he made the video private...) Just give it a longer fucking chance, Joe! You're great!

58:58 Hahaha!

Steve Takes the Red Pill and We Found the Most Charismatic Human Ever

4:11 My guess was Corey Taylor. He is so charismatic and knows how to talk to a crowd too. 

Link

7:33 It's a beautiful skill that also amazes me every time.

Funny bit. 

15:01 Reminds me of the moment Corey Taylor tripped, feel down and got up limping. I love that he doesn't act like it didn't happen. Some do that and it's so awkward. Good frontmen laugh at themselves to let the crowd feel good about laughing too. (Here's him letting them all know he's okay.)

The only show I can think of that had an actor in it that made it worth watching, because everything else sucks in that show, is Tom Ellis in Lucifer. Thank fuck he's the main character.

42:47 That's so fuckin' funny.

I've never been to Disneyland. I've only been to Universal Studios once, in Japan. So, I'm not that interested in the news about the park BUT I am interested in the Cars ride. Maybe when it's made, I'll aim to finally go to Disneyland and see what I've been missing.

Matrix glasses bit throughout this episode was awesome, Steve.

Our Doctor GOT ARRESTED AND IT'S BAD

This makes me scared of my dentist appointment next month because I always look at these people like they are professionals and can never make mistakes or be corrupt. Ughhhhh.....

19:29 I love that the show, Friends had a big impact on Elliott and Joe.
It gets really annoying when people who never seen it but know some parts of it, want to shit all over it now. They feel proud to point out something problematic about it when every fucking show back then was problematic too. We know some jokes don't age well but there's more jokes that did and that is the fuckin' reason why we still love it.

Tell me a favorite 90s show of yours and I'll tell you something wrong with it.
Annoying, right?

I know it's frustrating when bigots have shows and movies they can comfortably enjoy and laugh with but not everyone who loved Friends is laughing with the toxic jokes. We're laughing AT them. Laughing at how messed up it is hearing those jokes. Or we're awkwardly smiling at those old jokes and waiting for a better scene to start because in Friends, the good shit outweighs the bad shit.

At it's core, the character's hearts are in the right place. They are not hateful people. We wouldn't love the show if they were.

People forget that Friends is a comedy with very little character development. We watched to laugh. Remember laughing? Remember not taking anything on television that serious? Let's go back to that. Leave all the stress in the real world, press play and save your anger for the real fight. 

29:07 Jack Black as Steve:

Joe Keery as Elliott:

Matthew Mercer as Joe:

(Just needs to grow out his beard and he's perfect.)

I'm glad Kevin isn't in this episode because, one, Joe, Steve and Elliott are trauma bonding and two, they can talk about the Alien movies without him saying how he didn't like the movies that much after the first one. 

Even through I agree with him on that, sometimes its best to just let the room nerd out together on something they love. We don't always have to point out that we are the minority.

41:56 You would love The Outer Worlds, Steve. It's just like Futurama (without the aliens...for now.) with it's humor, smart writing and it's a straight up sci-fi comedy. It balances the serious moments with its dark humor very well.

On a livestream, your friend, Jesse (not Owlbynight) recommended it to you too. (When you talked about playing Fallout: New Vegas because the company that made that Fallout game made this one too!) The Outer Worlds looks like an open world game but it's not as big as Fallout so it wont take weeks to beat. It's perfect. And there's only two DLC stories and both are fantastic. 

(Number 3 linked to this video):

45:11 They are so good at playing along with each other, on the spot. They are the funniest people in the world to me. This small example is a taste of how they are in every video they make together. 

That loud movie reminds me of Steve talking about seeing the third Conjuring movie at a drive-in. He said it was so uncomfortably loud and that there was a security guy standing in front of one of the speakers. He seemed so unbothered by it that Steve and his friend made jokes about it while watching the movie. That shit is so funny to imagine! 

Steve talked about it on a Dynamic Banter episode and Mike was a killjoy about it and cut that story short. He didn't think it was funny. I wish Steve, or Kevin, would take notes of stories and bits that didn't land with Mike and try them out on the Valleycast. Get a satisfying reaction and tangent from Joe and Elliott that DB doesn't give.

Vegas, Vance, & The Candy Salad Trauma Trend!

Them talking about seeing concerts makes me hope that maybe before the Slipknot tour is over, I can go see them as an early birthday gift to myself. We'll see.

I also just use Instagram as TikTok. I check TikTok on the desktop to see people I follow but I don't browse my feed for random people anymore. Someone I follow on Instagram would have to show me cool people to follow now. I just don't have time to get lost scrolling my feed when there's so many videogames to play, Youtube videos to watch and books to read.

Also, yay! Elliott made another video:

Link

I need Elliott to go on LGH to talk about aliens with Aly again and nerd out/rant about if that guy is believable or not.

I asked him this and he seen it so maybe he reached out? My figures are crossed! 

37:09 Exactly. Doesn't make any sense. 

I'm so excited to watch the new Alien movie with my husband. I love that I'm hearing nothing but good things about it.

Kevin BEGS US to CLIMB A SKYSCRAPER?!

Steve's audio being echoey and the others thinking it's bit is so funny.

10:34 😂

13:38 lol I love you, Steve.

20:55-22:58 LOL

41:14 I laughed the whole time this episode.
It's always fun listening in on their conversations every week 🧡

MOST DELICIOUS MOVIES and JOE ALMOST GOT SUED

Starting off with talking about Joe's beautiful hair 💅

20:20 lol Elliott

33:31 Joe's story 👌

Lee is still making fake accounts to comment on the Valleyfolk's videos. I wish she would move on. It's embarrassing. 

Steve BARELY SURVIVED Las Vegas!

0:50 Yup lol

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 💖

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....

20:34 😂

25:45 Elliott is the best.

Complaining about not being able to keep up with new terms 🙄 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. 

Can any of those monster trucks do this?

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 podcast episode 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 🤷

I hope Elliott and Kevin have fun going to the movies together!

Which Horror Movies Actually Scared Us?

0:23 White boy dance moves.

I feel like a lot of horror stories just loves to torture women. While men die quickly or off screen. I think that's another reason Saw's torture porn is better than others because it tortures both men and women equally. Plus, it has an okay story.

I need more from horror than, "these girls are this monster's next victims for the day because they're hot."

I like listening to people talk about shitty horror because it's funny but I wouldn't waste my time by watching it. I get so picky with movies and shows that if it's not good in 10 minutes, I drop it. Sometimes less than that based on the acting. 

A horror movie that scared me is Sinister (2012). 

What Elliott had to say in the podcast description:

I'm so happy Fortnite is doing very well. There's so many modes and characters. Pubg never stood a chance. Apex Legends made Fortnite better but then moved into the background. I love the creative seasons Fortnite does that other games don't do.

Fortnite makes it where it levels the playing field for a bit by adding in bots to make causal players (me) feel good getting a kill. And it levels the field every new event and season, making the hardcore gamers cry they can't win the same way 😝

22:10 All they have to do is relax and the normal game mode will be back in another section. Like, how there's build mode and no build mode. Fuck that guy.

I hope they add in Hazbin Hotel and more anime characters in the game. I want to play as Valentino and 2B!

Link

Link

27:57 You should watch Hazbin Hotel, Joe! I think you would love it! A24 is backing it.

The ending! LOL

NEVER AGAIN WILL WE PODCAST PAST 8PM

The shoe story was great because when they throw in bits, I can imagine this being a skit.

5:22 I agree, Elliott.

9:43 lol She sounds great!

12:07 So funny that he didn't want to watch another movie after wasting time with that one. He had 11 hours to kill and only watched one movie 😂

I seen the Instagram stories of Steve's birthday. The Karaoke bar looked so fun. Steve and Joe really are Karaoke titans. I miss them streaming Twitch Sings 💔 

American Son is a movie I recommend if you're wanting to watch something that makes you sad and drained. It's hard to hear this topic again but also interesting; you can't stop and want to see how it will end.

31:22 I hope you know, Elliott that your fans love you're old stuff still. I've actually been rewatching old Sourcefed Nerd videos and you're all still funny as fuck. No matter how much you all change and grow, you are funny and talented. 

It's weird that the boys think 80% of their old stuff is bad.
The only thing I can look back on is nerdy videos I made out of boredom and I love them still. Maybe one or two were a waste but I recently lost my main Youtube channel. I was able to get most of my video files back through the google account sending them to my email. And I watched them all and I love the videos I made.

I don't have any home videos of my childhood so I guess maybe that is why I really love my vlogs and geeky video edits; it makes me think of a certain point in time where I loved something but now I'm into different stuff. 

Joe's camera not working at the end was so funny. I know they are frustrated but I actually enjoyed it lol!

Discussing Roller Coasters AND KEVIN LOSES IT

Kevin makes me never want to have rabbits as pets. 

I wish I could go to one of those Movie hangouts with Steve. Sounds like a fun time. Like I said before, I hate watching bad movies but I do love hearing people talk about bad movies. And I would love to watch bad movies if I was high and hanging out with people laughing at it.

26:22 Elliott's message 👌

When they talk about the ride malfunctioning and keeping people upside down, in the air for 26 minutes, I immediately thought that sounded fun 🤷 "Oh, no one died? I wish I could experience that then!" Sounds exciting if I knew it would take less than an hour to get back safe 👀

47:32 LOL

49:36 LOL!!!

52:21 Another message from Elliott.

56:02 Shut up, Steve. The Boys S4 is perfect 😎

What Pet Should Elliott Get?

I like puppies and small dogs. Not a fan of big dogs. They're fine on screen or far away through.

10:04 lol

13:22 I was just thinking a lot about concerts for the past two weeks because I've been really wanting to go see Slipknot live. I wish I had gone when I was little, back when they weren't so expensive and my dad would've paid for it. But I didn't care about concerts because I was dumb!

I just didn't understand that concerts are more than just the music, it's the show. It's seeing a band (Corey Taylor) being very charismatic with the crowd and getting everyone involved with the show. Instead of just standing or sitting there, hoping they play our favorite song, like I thought it was about. 

I went once with my parents to see The Goo Goo Dolls and it was boring because I couldn't hear the band that well because of everyone yelling and cheering. I just wanted to go home and listen to them on my CD player. 

After watching so many Youtube videos of Slipknot live, I understand how concerts can be fun. And it sucks that I'll have to use my own money to go see them now 😭 My dad would've took me if I cared to ask. (I'm 34 and haven't spoken to my dad in years.)

I wish I knew what I was missing out on.

My favorites to watch are ones where they are in another country where their first language isn't English. So, Corey tries to speak a little in their own language and it's awesome and fuckin' sweet 🧡 He really loves trying to connect with the fans. 

And he ends those shows so friendly by thanking the fans for going to see them. It's just really cool to see because people expect rock and metal bands to be rude, violent and serious but Slipknot is chill and funny. 

And they made a song for their fans (The Maggots).

My favorite band is Korn because of the music but I think Slipknot is my favorite band because of group (and them being known for having the best drummers.) 

I wish Joe was my dad. I don't know that would work but I wish it.
I'm jealous of everyone that has a good dad.

22:46 Fortnite is amazing. People can hate on it all they want but it's so good and so smart.

41:01 This is why I get frustrated with some of Steve's hot takes on movies. When he just complains on Instagram, "Who asked for this to be made? Why do we need another movie about this? This was just made for people who think their funny!" 

Just because it's not relatable to you, doesn't mean it's shit. I love hearing Joe and Brett having different takes on stuff than Steve. I'm not into Game of Thrones or the new Dragon show but that doesn't mean I think it shouldn't have been made. I can still tell it's not shit just because I find that setting boring.

#NotEverythingIsForEveryone
I wish more people were like Owen. I loved Talkin' Banter because Owen wouldn't agree with all of Brett's movie opinions but he was cool with hearing it.

(I love you, Steve! I just need to sometimes voice my frustrations out about you 💖) 

47:28 That's the name! When I write my thoughts, I pause the video so I had no idea they were going to bring up this show but it's perfect 👍

Elliott asked for recommendations so: 

(This was the comment I left but I can't find it. Did it get marked as spam? Anyway, I just left another one so sorry if my recommendation shows up twice.)

Mulaney's New Show, Class Action Lawsuits, and Kevin Hates Fun

I would love to see one of Elliott's live shows someday.

Next they talk about AAVE being "Gen Z lingo" LOL okay.

They then talk about movies dying and with A.I. on the rise that the only type of media that will succeed will be creators being more connected with the audience. I disagree...kinda.

Hazbin Hotel is big because it's an animation that's outside the box of other animated shows and that helped it stand out. It came out of nowhere for me. Plus, it has A24 backing it. 

When I seen A24 in the description when browsing new shows on Amazon Prime, it made me want to watch it. If it wasn't for that I might not have checked it out until a friend recommends it to me.

From just judging on the thumbnail art and what I know from other animated shows, I was going to pass on it. It looked like another Rick and Morty, Big Mouth, or Family Guy type of comedy cartoon.

Hazbin Hotel is funny but also knows when to be serious, the series has a focused story. While other cartoons do one or the other. You get serious mellow dramatic stories from anime or get comedy cartoons where every scene tries to be a meme. 

I could see Hazbin Hotel being a live action and still having the same vibe but since it is animated, it appeals to viewers in Japan and that booted it's popularity. 

It's like a Disney movie but a dark comedy and the songs actually move the story along. The songs aren't wasted just to be catchy, they're a conversation or lore dump. 

All these reasons make it succeed past other media using reboots to tell the same story again to win people over with nostalgia. Hazbin Hotel is an new IP being told for the first time.

But the Hazbin Hotel creator is connecting with her audience on social media so that helps boot her show because there was already hype before it came out. She already had a following from her free animation Helluva Boss and her comics.

Maybe the hope is for more new stories to be made with obvious love and passion put into it. I believe if she made a Hazbin Hotel movie, there would be people rushing to see it on the big screen. I would! And I haven't been to the theaters since the new IT movie. 

If you enjoy The Boys, you'll enjoy Hazbin Hotel. Same humor but instead of fights, it's cool music videos. 

51:07 The ending is great. Elliott needs another solo episode 🤞

Steve REFUSES to watch BABY REINDEER?! Is he dumb or something?!

I understand the feeling of sadness for certain friends who might go to hell if they don't change but to act like we know that is what will happen is crazy! No one knows what happens after death. No one. 

Rude that someone told Steve he was going to hell and acting like they knew that for a fact 😂 What?! Did God speak to them personality to give them that knowledge?? I hate religion. It's so weaponized and used to shame and scare people. I have faith in God but not in religion. 

I don't understand people who are put off by hype, unless it's aggressively rude but we know it's not. It's aggressive excitement most times. If everyone is telling you to watch something, it means it's good for a reason and they really want you to nerd out with them on it.

Even if it ends up being not for you, you will still understand why it's popular and can talk to people about it. Trying to rebel against the hype is sore loser energy. 

I checked out The Curse and Game of Thrones and ended up not liking it but I get why others loved those shows. I don't regret watching them. I'm not one of those people who thinks everything I love needs hype and everything I hate needs to be niche. 

Steve, how many times have you told people that they need to see something and did so out of excitement? That's all Elliott and Kevin were doing too. They even said they watched what you told them to watch and you still acted like they didn't just so you can continue with your rant. Sit down, Steve. They got you being a hypocrite.

The talk about Star Wars really makes me not want a Mass Effect live action movie or show. It could be great if it was made with love and respect for the series but most likely will be made with the mindset to make money and relatable....

(This would be awesome!)

The Furiosa Drama and The Rock's Pee

0:41 LOL

Them talking about "monkey paw wishes" was very entertaining to listen to. It's funny that the safest way to use the wishes is creating new laws in the country 😂

And I loved the "time travel as an immortal" talk. I also think it would be a really fun videogame. I think Steve and Joe would love Quantum Break.

Babies Are Smarter than We Think

I'm proud of Elliott for working out and keeping it up for a while. I just started getting back into it this week. I'm hoping Elliott and Lindy from Bubzvlogz, will continue to motivate me to keep at it.

I love that Fortnite and Stranger Things are making old rock music popular with kids 🧡 It's good music.

12:00 Funny bit.

Another funny bit.

They talk about Power Pints and I wish I could go to one. And Moviejuana! They look fun and chill.

Aftershow for Dynamic Banter - Dog Man Ft. Colin Mochrie! Ep. 411

 
Link

51:49 Would Mike defend Steve that strongly? Or would he join in on taking a dig at Steve?
 

Why is Steve being so defensive for Mike? Is it because after the episodes where Mike was unfair towards the fan that made "DB or Not DB" and after he was unfair towards Steve's feelings about an actor that now Steve is sensitive about people picking on Mike after reading the valid comments under those episodes? 🤔

I feel like if Will talked about having a list of reasons why he hates Mike two months ago, Steve would be chill and know that it's a joke. 
 

(I left these comments on YouTube and Reddit because I seen too many white boys being offended that Will used Mike for a joke, that I wanted to show support to Will.)

This was the the first time that Steve ruined a bit by taking it serious. I love you, Steve, that's why I'm disappointed you did not pass the vibe check, when you usually do! 

Kevin passed it though 😎

Are the boys going to defend Will from the DB subreddit of fans saying that he isn't funny like how the boys defended Kevin when just one fan said that they don't find Kevin funny on Reddit? 👀

(This is more rude than what was said about Kevin and the boys got triggered over that mild comment. And the comments on Reddit have so many upvotes for insulting Will. This fandom is disappointing me.)

I want Will on again with Mike so everyone can see how much they were overreacting. I bet Mike would've played along and made his own list to roast back.

It could've been a really funny episode, Steve.

Aftershow for The Valleycast - Joe vs. Conan vs. ANGRY NEW YORKERS!

 

Link

The only people that hate on the Renaissance fair are Youtubers. I went a few times with friends and it was fun. It's just a themed fair. What more do you expect?

5:53 That's how I feel about stand-up comedy.
My only hope of ever enjoying it is if Steve got into it or Brittany Broski because I feel like they would be the only two people to make me laugh at a stand-up show.

I love that The Valleyfolk boys are chill with their different opinions 🧡 #NotEverythingIsForEveryone

19:03 Yeah that sucks.
I was thinking if any sci-fi story had seen that coming. If the stories with A.I. doing art, movies and music so the artists protest and boycott anything made by them. But I can't think of any older sci-fi stories having that. 

Most sci-fi stories only talk about using A.I. to replace assistants or robots replacing a lot of working-class jobs. 

19:27 No shit, Kevin. 

I paused the podcast and watched the episode they talk about and it wasn't as funny as I thought it would be.... But I've never seen Hot Ones so many I should've started with another episode first to compare it to this one. Also, I didn't really know who Conan O'Brien was lol I can see you rolling your eyes, Reader. 

He seems cool but I think the boys are funnier 🤷 I didn't grow up watching other comedians and their talk shows. I knew of them but comedy wasn't in my world. Videogames and music was. Sourcefed people and Brittany Broski are the only comedians I'm a fan of. 

Hopefully this explanation shows you why I didn't find it as funny as Kevin and Joe did. I did like the doctor character coming in and joking with him. Loved that! 

I cringed at the part where the host says it's a bit and Conan is yelling that it's not a bit and the host has to agree with him. It's easy to control the show when you yell over a host that wont challenge you. 

Brittany Broski was funnier on Hot Ones 💅

Every show Brittany has been interviewed on she has controlled the show without having to disagree with the hosts bit to make it her own. She adds to their jokes to make it her own. She becomes friends with them on their show.

Brittany is my Conan O'Brien. I look up to Brittany and she's younger than me! I just really respect her and hope one day I can meet her and tell her that she is my favorite comedian. 

I love Steve, he has been my favorite comedian since Sourcefed (and I've watching his older stuff on his channel) but once I discovered Brittany around a year ago, she was on the same level with Steve for me immediately.

Until this year, I can say, she's number one. 

Never thought I would find anyone funnier than Steve but he's still just right under Brittany. They are both the funniest people in the world to me. 


Anyway, my dream is for Brittany to enter The EZU. The only connections are Grace and Brittany were guests on the same podcast! And Brittany is a fan of Joe 🙌 I got so happy hearing her say his name!



Thank you for telling people to comment, Joe. I think it's good to get the fans to be more active. Show them you care about them still listening. 

Also, thank you for sharing that news update, Joe <3 I seen someone comment that politics are "boring" but they don't find it boring! They're just mad that your politics don't match theirs.

Make people uncomfortable when they listen to your show if they are going to be on the wrong side of history 👏👏👏 

Aftershow for The Valleycast - Steve Discovers His Current Vibe

Link

 

I love that Steve likes those videos of 3 old women dancing. I get what he means by it giving him hope to see them happy and being silly. When you're scared of getting older, it's nice seeing old people having fun and looking stylish. The fear goes away in those moments. 

It's easy for me to love being in my 30s because I grew up watching Friends and they were all turning 30 and still acted childish in a fun way.

I would love to see more old people in videos or TV shows acting childish in a fun way too.
It's why I get so annoyed with anime. Almost every fucking story is about teenagers. 
(Attack On Titan would've been better if the main characters were adults 💅)

18:37 Joe starts his "80s music game."

26:19 Owen is obsessed.
It's funny how he made fun of Steve for being addicted to a game, twice:

When he's obsessed with a series 😂 (Steve interrupts Owen because he's into the game but later he gets back on topic with Owen.)


I don't know how it's "a lot of work" when all he has to do is livestream the talk like he's doing now but he's free to say spoilers without the warning! Just plan when to record like how he does for a podcast or livestream and done. Movie club made. Even if it just with one friend, the chat can help add to the conversation. There's no need for there to be three people or more on a book club show. One or two is fine. 

Even with Owen's bad mic, it'll still be fun to listen to them fully nerd out. It sucks that they have to be vague on DB and The Valleycast and his Twitch streams because those shows are comedy and not a free place to talk about spoilers.

I'm asking for something that can be chill and fun maybe once or twice a month. Not something high quality that requires a weekly schedule and can get them paid. 
He goes on Twitch not thinking about getting paid and he streams on Instagram not thinking about getting paid. Why can't a TV show/movie/book club be the same?

I'd rather have a movie club show that slowly uploads than do not have it at all. 

How about when they are playing Fortnite, they just record their audios and talk about the movie, show or book? No need to have video for every show. Make it easy. Why is every idea always thought to be "a lot of work"?

I don't say all this in the Twitch chat because I don't want to seem demanding. I also don't talk in the chat a lot because I don't want to really be remembered. I just ask a question here and there without going into more detail when he says stuff like, "it's a lot of work."

So this blog is for me to feel free to be as detailed as possible ✌

29:06 Mass Effect, Control and Quantum Break.

It's frustrating when I want to share and recommend these cool stories but I know they wont give a fuck because it's a videogame. Good stories people are missing out on because they think videogames are just about violent gameplay. Or that it's for kids. 

I left a comment anyway telling them about Quantum Break so hopefully someone in their friend group checks it out because I know they would love it. 

I kinda agree with Steve about how it's tiring when a show is hoping for a second season so they write the characters to have secrets and distrust to drag out bullshit drama. I say "kinda" because I do want there to be more seasons if a series is really good.
Like, how season 1 of The Leftovers is perfect by itself. Didn't need two more seasons but I'm so glad it does because all three seasons are fantastic! 

Just have a goal for one season, complete it. Then come up with a new season if there's room for more plot.  

Cyberpunk Edgerunners is a miniseries and they said they will never make a season 2 even though season 1 did so well. It won anime of the year!
They meant for the story to conclude in 10 episodes and it did. They said if they made another anime, it would be a new set of characters.

I love that they stood their ground and didn't let the popularity get to their heads to hurry and make another season. It's normal to instantly think, "I want more!" as a fan but it's good to realize a short show with a good ending is better than a longer show with no end in sight.

On the subject of the Fallout show doing well with a female main character; if they make a Mass Effect show, I really, really, really hope Shepard isn't in it. I hope they just use They/Them like they do in the novels and comics whenever Shepard is mentioned. (Just in case you don't know, in the game you can choose to be male or female.)

Let the trilogy be Shepard's story.

It's tiring how people love to recycle characters and stories instead of seeing something new.
Just play the game again if you want to see that exact story and characters.
Just read the book again if you want to see that exact story and characters.
Just watch that movie again if you want to see that exact story and characters. 

Show me new characters with a new perspective.
Tell me something I don't know about Mass Effect instead of changing it. 
Add onto the lore instead of creating a fanfiction of it.

(I know that "Shepard's story" isn't the most voted for but 26% is still too much 🙄)

It does make me happy to know I'm not alone:

(I'm purplypastel.)

45:04 I want to see this movie! Not just because Steve says it's good but because I've seen people on Twitter saying it's surprisingly really good. Can't wait.

53:42 I'm a kid from the 90s and have never heard of it. The only Water World I knew of was a water park in Phoenix that was called that lol

The ending 😂

Aftershow for The Valleycast - David Copperfield is INCREDIBLE

 

Link

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 Dynamic Banter - Don't Try To Help, Jeff Ep. 402

Funny parts:
2:42 - 5:26

9:30 - 11:58

14:13 - 15:54

23:08 - 27:49

37:35 - 38:30 

They called out a fan for his criticisms on Kevin. He pointed out what Kevin does and said they didn't find Kevin funny. That was too much for the boys to handle. 

The fandom disagreed with that fan. Mommy and Daddy wasn't needed.  

Since they look at Reddit, why didn't they say anything about the post asking about their Patreon? It's mainly "Before The Banter." They choose to ignore the post letting them know we want more than just extended episodes...

They told him to become a Patreon if he wants episodes with Kevin not in it. But he's already a Patreon:

💔

Remember when they said this. I know people can change their minds and opinions on stuff they said in the past but that was one month ago 😅 Come on, ya'll.


1:04:30 Mike getting triggered.
It fits right up there with him being pissed about:
1. A "what if" scenario of some kid eating "his" slice of pizza to make a pizza sandwich.
2. Steve being excited about a star being named after him.
3. Nic saying cover songs of Creep are better than the original.

Mike is always experiencing the "What about me" effect.
Owen should tell him #NotEverythingIsForEveryone 

Those girls were either drunk, high or just playing Truth or Dare. It's so harmless and funny because of his reaction with the texts. It's only funny if boys do prank calls, not girls!!!

1:10:38 Only Mike, Steve and Kevin can roleplay and make jokes. No one else. Not the fan doing work for the boys and giving them a fun game to play on the podcast. 

They should be thanking this fan. That joke about Owen being canonically dead is the same energy that fan was trying to do with Mortimer. 

The joke can just be "canon" for a few episodes then forgotten. Not a big deal, Mike. 

That fan sounded so happy in that email. He wanted to roleplay in their joke about him while he does the work of coming up with titles. Don't want him to be silly then do the work yourself, Mike.

Instead of expecting the fan to be happy with exposure for giving you their time (again) coming up with fake titles from stuff you have said, how about you pay him.

Not all the fake titles are ones he made up on the spot. He put in the extra work to relisten to old episodes. Pay him. 

Steve would've played along for fucking sure. Steve knew that fan earned being silly. I'm just such a big Steve Zaragoza fan, I'm so glad he wears his heart on his sleeve because that makes it easier to know I'm a fan of a good person. (Same with Brittany Broski. She and Steve are the funniest people on the planet. I would love for them to meet someday.)

I'm happy every time he streams, makes a podcast, guests on other podcasts/videos. Anything he does, I like. He's so chill and can get along with anyone. I would love for him to show up on Rooster Teeth stuff again. They would fucking love him over there!

(Cloverfeels podcast review I left on iTunes.)

Congrats for ending the episode like a baby, Mike. I hope Owen laughed that you ruined the fun vibe because Owen was the one who wanted this game back. And he loves laughing at uncomfortable moments. 

If I was listening to a podcast with my two good friends as the hosts, it would be really hard for me to be mad at either one of them. I'm sure Owen didn't find Mike annoying for being a buzzkill. Owen seems just as chill as Steve.

Owen, thank you for allowing me to end on a sweet note by thinking about you being happy that the game is back 🧡

Aftershow for The Valleycast - Using Time-Travel to Unsee Movies ("That's TENET, baby!")

Link

Steve talks about an idea to watch Tenet with them and post it on the channel and I would love that. I sent them an email asking them to think about a movie club or TV show club. 

Let's go back to doing shit for fun and not for views. 

I've been listening to the Anma podcast and they talk about missing the days of doing shit for fun, and not thinking about it being popular. 

That's what The Valleyfolk channel needs to be doing. The boys making videos or podcast episodes where it' just because they feel like it. Fans just want to see them happy anyway!

24:34 Medieval Times sounds dull to me but it would be fun to go with funny people for sure! I'm just thinking about how I would just end up going with family and I'm not into it...

Also, Brittany Broski made is seem fun in her video.

I would love to go to Japan before turning 40 with my husband. I've already been there when I was 17, in 2007.

And it wasn't a family trip 😎 

(I'm in the red shirt.)

(This was the view outside my bedroom window!! 😍)

41:22 Fuck yeah, Joe! Shut the fuck up, Steve.

Joe having cats wont affect Steve at all.
I'm so happy Joe shrugged him off so quick and easy 👏👏👏

With the AI creating cool videos now, how did people not see this coming?

I've already been mentally prepared for a while now. The annoying, scary shit and the cool shit. I knew AI would get better and better with learning how to not look like "dreams"

I think people are stupid to think AI art would be "ugly" forever. A fucking dumb argument and a waste of time because the real problem is when it doesn't look "ugly." 

That's what we all should've been mentally ready for. 

46:29 😂

We should go cottagecore to coexist with AI:
Read books.
Write letters.
Take polaroid pictures.
Bake bread.
See a play or concert.
Buy paintings.
Touch grass.

And them talking about how bad the movie "Old" is and questioning how it was approved to be made, has me thinking, "Some of these creators are so bad that they may as well be replaced by AI." (This is me joking!)

Universal income is the answer. I agree, Joe. I like that Steve is trying to stay positive but it's going to be a hard time getting there. Because with the news, AI will be very scary. Conspiracy theories and propaganda are annoying enough with trying to silence the truth. Now they'll have an easier time with AI to help grow their numbers and ignore scientific facts.
