Gabby doesn't have main character energy, she has invested narrator energy. She's cares too much about what others are doing to be the main character

Week 3 of asking you lot to make Nick a permanent member. If he’s already watching along (because he adds stuff to the google doc mid podcast) then why not get him on so that everyone’s facecam is the same size? NICK! NICK! NICK! NICK! NICK! NICK!

WPEP Wednesday has gotta be my fav day of the week rn

Dimension 20 is incredible. Hank Green is on their latest series, which is a noir/inside out theme. It's amazing

Bloody love the Expanse. Only issue with the show is it was cancelled just before getting into the final part of the overarching story, which would cover the last three books and tie up a lot of plot threads it leaves hanging. Which is a shame because what happens in those last three books is incredible.

I just listened to the song. Thank you Gabby for giving this gay guy a country song to sing at kareoke. I hope I'm spelling this correctly, I'm from Sweden

Gabby, I hate that you made me listen to that song and its stuck in my head now! Also, I was super sad that I was finishing up your guys podcast today when suddenly this one started playing!! Perfectly timed. Thanks for dropping this to satisfy the content goblin in me

My personal favourite album is 101 by Depeche Mode. Its a live album made during the height of DM's fame and the atmosphere is absolutely unparalleled. But my favourite artist is the Swedish power metal band Sabaton. Love how they retell lesser-known stories from history. From the Brazilian and Greek efforts in WW2 to the Siege of Vienna where the Austrians were defending against the Ottomans. Then, the Winged Hussars arrived!

You know its gonna be a good podcast when the gang starts off by talking about farts :D

Lived a humble family religious through and through, and yay there was black sheep and he knew just what to do

Dear Gabby: So, I decided to play Good Lookin' as I had to shower. Gave it a chuckle, then moved on. Then I realized, a few hours later, it was playing in my head. So I played it again, laughed again. Then I put it on repeat. So long story short it's in my playlist and I sing it unironically on my way to work for damn near a week now. God damn it Gabby.

About Coco! Apparently, the grandma's likeness was stolen from an actual person. Her family alleges that they stole her likeness and didn't pay her to use it.

That Dixon Dallas song is literally country Steel Panther.

Movie: Mr Right (2015) Music: Worthy by Jacob Banks Book: Southern Fire by Juliette E McKenna Show: Carnival Row

the thumbnail says it all about this channel, Jake doing a jonk thing while Ellis just looks on in both disappointment and exasperation.

Jake Hill also has another alias called “ur pretty” which made a gay pop punk song that’s SO FUCKING CATCHY it’s so good for no reason and I love it. It’s called Keep Riding

Gabby is Hammy the squirrel from Over the Hedge

46:32 Yes! Great pick Labyrinth is a classic

Ellis hating Hamilton is somehow unsurprising.

5:34 hahaha that lss uhgg nyan cat got me to be that 🤣 12:32 uhgg its like lss but phrases 40:33 is such a mood nowadays 46:47 such a good lay up to a rizz

Just when I thought this channel couldn't be a more perfect fit for me to watch. You mention ATLA my favorite show of all time! Yes!

MAN!!! i just want to hear ellis talk about the expanses for an HOUR!!

I have watched chernobyl and been digging into it. And found out that not all the dogs got killed a load of them made it into the forest and have lived there and even reproduced. Not into monsters but some really lovely looking animals.

Kickapoo used to be my gamer tag for everything, Got tired of being called poo so changed it in my late teens.

41:18 Finally! A CollegeHumor/DropoutTv reference outside of GameChanger!

As soon as I heard "good looking" I knew the song

I agree with Ellis. The Expanse is fantastic.

A meme song I can recommend is keep riding me by ur pretty

love that song, gabby

Dude I'm not even 5 minutes in and I already have a PTSD flashback (joking and not joking) about trying to let out a quiet fart😭😅. I was in Junior School Year 4, we had assembly in the mornings, one time we had it in the gym hall. I was sat in the middle, I felt a fart creeping up and of course thought I could let it out and it would be a quiet one... It came out and it ROARED all around the gym. Every set of eyes that were in front of me, looked back at me, and I wanted to cry. My friend at the time was sat next to me and tried to make me feel better by holding my hand. Later that day, a student who was known to be an ass asked me "Why did you fart in the gym?", I didn't reply... I am still traumatised by that to this day. RIP

100% agree on the Expanse. It's so so good. The book series is awesome as well. The writers' take on tech is basically, "keep it simple, don't over research, don't over explain and make it cool. " I think that is why the series is just so good. No space magic. In an interview they were asked "How does the Epstein Drive work?" and the response was "Exceptionally well." hahaha It's worth reading the books because there is some stuff that was left unresolved in the series that is resolved in the books.

oh no gabby! that song is now in my head and i sing it constantly! also cath has the exact same movies i would pick! loving the podcast look forward to it each week

Recommendations of mine: For movies, Arrival would be the best. Aliens come to earth and two scientists need to decipher their language. Everything about this movie is so poignant. For shows, "Gaya sa Pelikula" is good. It's one of our shows here in PH, and you can watch it in YT. It's about two boys, one out and one in the closet, and the struggles they face as LGBTQ and falling in love. For songs, anything probably from Ben and Ben if you want some starters for OPM (Original Pinoy/Pilipino Music) For a book, it's a series named "The Land of Stories," books where classic fairytales are retold for the perspective of two children adventurers travelling their land. I would have recommended "Si" by Bob Ong, a book about the life of an unnamed man told in his perspective where each chapter is his age and they're structured in books backwards so you read the story of his life from old age to mother's womb. This book's not translated yet, though.

Why do accents make folks sound older? Then I see you and I realize you’re all my kids. Maybe it’s the big brains. 🧠 Keep up the great work.

The other thing about spam emails is that they're really cheap to do. You can send hundreds or thousands or emails a day, which you can't really do with phone calls or paper mail, and it's much quicker and easier to reply to anyone who falls for it. And on top of that it's much easier to set up a new email address if you get shut down than it would be to set up a new phone number. Not to mention that spam can fail 99.9% of the time, but if you've sent out 10,000 emails, that's 10 people you've tricked.

I hear Gabby saying the first part of the chorus & I'm like, Yep that's Gabby's favourite song

4:51 Damn, maybe that's why she was unconscious! :D

ELLIS WITH THE BEST DRINK IRN BRU YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoying the podcasts, I read 'The Choice by Edith Eger' as was recommended on amazon, on the font cover it says 'Even in hell hope can flower'. If you like books based on events of WW2 etc ive read 'Inside the gas chambers by Shlomo Venezia' which is an insight to what those that had to work as the Sonderkommando, and 'Last stop Auschwitz by Eddy de Wind'. Other books ive read are Working Stiff by Judy Melinek M.D and T.J Mitchell which is forensic pathology in real life events. Can't wait for the next podcast.

talking about shows that went on for too long and since it was briefly mentioned, prison break always should have just ended after season 2

I prefer terminator 1 to terminator 2. Heresy, i know. We've just seen a bunch of Arnie playing the hero. Its nice to see him do a villian. His physical presence as essentially a slasher villian is unparalleled.

When it comes to bands, I cannot recommend Great Big Sea and Walk the Moon enough. Super amazing bands and I'm a sucker for really good lyrics

The song Gabby talked about Good Looker sounds like the new C-bait

Oh snap, the Brits know about midnight gospel but not Duncan Trussel

The Expanse is such a good show. Or at least S1-3 were good

Don't worry Gabby I have ASD Type 2 so I go through the same thing I run around the house a lot jumping around yelling yabadabawiibawabadoodoo or anything like that and when I'm in the car and the driver speeds up really quickly I yell Yeatius Deleteius (sorry I don't know how to spell it) and I'm humming and singing to many beats I've heard during my childhood which I no longer remember at all because of my short term memory loss and the top 3 things that run in my family are Autism, Short Term Memory Loss and Arthritis also possibly oh I forgot sorry so there's nothing to worry about oh that's right that's what it was Dyslexia that possibly runs in the family a lot of us have but I haven't asked to make sure if it does or not sorry just go with the flow like Cath she has it nailed she can help you out I guarantee it hold up what does guarantee mean hopefully you know what I mean and yes there will be a lot of struggling with everything especially with trying to explain it like having right now that's why this is so long I am the worst at explaining anything but I hope I was able to help at all with this Lots Of Love To You All Keep It Up And Stay Positive

as always, ellis likes metal

Jake hill makes some really funny songs and he also makes really angry, emo songs. They're all amazing too though 😂

And the binge has finally finished 😢...

You have made me look up the song. Damn you!!

The girl they left behind by Roxanne veletoz was pretty good

Dark was a absolute masterpiece to watch, the concept of time travel and other things is exceptional, it doesn't feel sci-fi rather it feels like something like the phenomenon can occur in real life. Somethings in the show might to hard to understand, ever for me who is interested in time travel, but if you want a show to keep you engaged and intrigued, dark is the best in my opinion.

So when I heard that Jake was dancing to Gabby's song, I just thought back to the other podcast where he went on his bed to show off his outfit, and everyone called him a dancing monkey. So that's all I can imagine Jonk's dancing looks like now

TV show- The Rookie. Nathan Fillian is awesome and the show is great too Movie- V for Vendetta. Song- What could have been. Sting.

on the subject of music that has been ruined by overplaying my little brother almost killed cellblock tango from chicago for me i had to literally ban him form playing it so i wouldnt start hating it

We got the moves by electric callboy, very fun metal (fans often refer to them as partycore) band that matches your chaotic/fun energy. They make some of the funniest music videos ever

Good movie everyone should watch is Falling Down.

I have to recommend For music artist - Miracle of Sound For T. V shows - The prodigal Son And For movies - Suspect Zero

Gonna recommend the TV show Taskmaster. British comedians competing in reality TV style tasks to benefit charity. Just good fun. Recommended movie is Ex Machina. Sci fi thriller starring Domnhall Gleeson as a office worker who gets invited to the remote estate of a reclusive techbro billionaire, played by Oscar Isaac, to do a modified Turing test on a newly created artificial intelligence, played by Alicia Vikander. Blackouts and other weirdness start happening, and the main character realizes there's more happening than he's been told. Book is Howl's Moving Castle, hands down. It's a French novel the Miyazaki film was based on, and both are genuinely fantastic, but different enough that I highly recommend both, as well as the the two follow-up novels by the same author. Artist is Grabbitz, who does Electronica mixed with rock, with a heavy emphasis on the vocals. I'd start with Pigs in the Sky, but any of his songs are good. Honorable mention is Rusalka, Rusalka by The Decemberists.

I have to recommend a fairy’s game if you like magic you will love it it’s a great movie and it’s free on KZfaq because the creator decided to post it

the walking dead comics are so good and its a real shame the show went so bad

I’d have like one answer for favorite movie and song and stuff, but if i could make people like the movies i like…. oh boy

shows i have to recommend andor (star wars) which is just...........exactly what star wars needs the owl house by dana terrace gravity falls by alex hirsch avatar the last airbender arcane

can we a 6th camera slot in this. People really want nick in this podcast

Wait until they find out who Wheeler Walker Jr. is.

One series i absolutely adore is the anime Girls und Panzer. Despite the admitatly silly premise(school girls in tank battles), the animation and writing are really solid. The boat load of little history easter eggs, down to characters birthdays matching major battles and events, make it a blast to watch. The attention to detail on the tanks is also so high that many tank buffs consider it the beat work of tank fiction. Admitatly the physics become more guidlines that rules but i think we should be able to excuss that when it lets us watch a Pershing chase a L3 33 down a set if roller coaster tracks. P.S. Most of the schools are themed around a specific school. The british themed school (St Gloriana) has a named Darjeeling who always carries a cup of tea with her and gifts sets of tea cups to those she sees as worthy opponents. The steriotypes are strong but fun.

My favorite series is bad batch or the clone wars

Having watched The Sandman, especially as someone who knew nothing about the series other than the starting inciting incident, I cannot recommend it enough to anybody that likes Fantasy, Drama, or the works of Neil Gaiman. Very good recommendation Cath 😁

I haven't seen it but I watch a lot of nerdy science shit on KZfaq and many people said to be aware of the fact that the Chernobyl series aren't all that accurate bc of movie dramatization. Not to undermine how bad it is what happened though

I would highly recommend Bojack Horseman for anyone looking for a good TV show! 6 seasons all on Netflix and all absolute bangers. Brilliant mix of comedy, drama and real life problems all mixed together with amazing animation!

Fun fact at 1:18:01 I know that person

I'm with Ellis on this song.

Y'know, my biggest gripe isn't even that I feel obligated to unpack the statement "the Chernobyl TV show is an educational portrayal of what always happens under communism". It's that if I did I'd have to do it in the company of cringy soviet LARPers for whom "stalin did nothing wrong" is not a very, _very_ ironic meme. It just isn't possible to have a serious, principled conversation about the failings of socialist states without feeling like you're either carrying water for the CIA or being read as an ushanka-wearing terminally online dork.

I cannot recommend the Expanse books enough especially if you want to find out what happens after the show

The Expanse is a wonderful show about how it would be if everyone involved in space was extremely dumb. Hell we have a constant war going with both sides having planetbuster weapons, but somehow the war is supposed to have stakes. The main characters are about the dumbest characters in existence and survive by sheer massive plot armor, while being basically terrorists that somehow never have to take responsibility for their actions. The idea that we would somehow go to the speeds their bs engine can do without developing some kind of protection against even base kinetic impacts is ridiculous.

Jurassic Park Fan spotted?

15:28 1:15:09

Well Alex is just wrong. Mythic Quest and Foundation is on Apple and they are great

it's the problem of entertainment industry. if someting work they will keep milking the sheet out of it even if it should have end.

gabby you play inscryption?

A friendly russian guy speaking. I hate the chernobyl tv show by hbo. All of the interactions of government are made up by the screenwriters, read up on the interviews with the Liquidators (straight up gigachads) - they all went to Chernobyl clearly understanding the consequences. The government made sure to supply them until the fall of USSR. Same thing with secrecy: Valery Legasov's report to community was as open as it could be. Recent additions to the report were only in minor details. Just so you know.

I’ve been watching you guys for like fucking 3 years now and I’ve just realized that Alex and nick Arnt the same person? 💀

Haven't actually watched any of the Chernobyl yet. Wonder how much of it is bullshit. Some people here think it was quite good, but as a member of the family closely tied to both liquidation of the aftermath and designing Sarcophagus I just don't want to watch yet another big pile of crap around it. Although it is most likely ~80-90% accurate I don't really want to be triggered by those remaining ones :\

cool tbh

I plead with anyone who reads this to please at least check out the NieR automata/replicant osts, they've got a huge range and genuinely are the most amazing songs I've ever heard

2nd

The podcasts are great and all but someone banned me from the discord and i don't know why

british

Last 2 seasons of The Expanse were shite. They set up all these really cool alien plot points in 1-3, then ignored nearly all of them so we could watch idiots argue for the last 2 seasons instead.

would have never pegged alex as a @RenMakesMusic fan. For joe, Su!c!de, murderer, losing it....dude is an absolute musical genius. Hi Ren is a great intro, but he has so much stuff thats exceptional it's ridiculous.

I agree that Terminator 2 is an awesome movie. But for me, Rambo First Blood is my go to recommendation
