Zack Tripp

I'm only a few minutes in, but I'll say that I think Caldwell and Murph are right that you aren't losing us on AI. I think a lot more people are starting to feel like it's made basic tasks like googling things much worse (in addition to having a lot of bad ethical consequences as well)

Clever Innuendo

My bike ride home after work is looking even better

Lee030

I used to pretend to be a boy on club penguin when I was little so that the girl penguins would go on dates with me 😭

Kellyd

You are absolutely not losing us on the AI stuff, naddpod's clear stance on ai being extremely bad genuinely makes me feel like this is a safe space where I know I won't have to hear a moron loser defending it, a more and more rare occurrence lately I very deeply hope ai lovers do feel alienated and go away from here lmao

Lee030

Is Jake talking about Zoids???

Chef Julie B

Can confirm, three bartenders must sacrifice their service lighters if you don’t have matchbooks. That, or a line cook has to break their vape pen while taking out the trash to the dumpster. The universe craves balance.

alli

i love getting dvds from the library, it’s how i watch 80% of the nonsensical movies they bring up on the show!

Lee030

No lol

Marshall Richard

You can get the cups from Pizza Hut. I forget what they are. Last year there was a thing on TikTok and the company that makes them put out what the model Was

Jay Barber

Caldwell is 100% right about how you guys joke about AI, I think I can speak for a lot of NADDPOD fans when I say that we love this podcast because of the hard work and genuine passion you guys have for creating it and I doubt people many people here who support you guys also support the antithesis to what you guys do which is AI

Spillvia

loving the 300 chatter

jackalope503

More library DVD talk please, this rules 😎 Also while I agree with Caldwell that the heat is Zahn, I have to disagree with his stance that dumping DMB feces all over the good people of Chicago is a fine thing to do. I just can’t go with him on that one

jaydon

murph dosent understand that i come here for the side convo i wanna hear the funny weird topics🤣

Thefindingmoon

Before I listened to this, I thought to myself. You know I don’t always care too much about the D&D talk back, but you never know what random funny things their gonna say…very satisfied

Positive Nerdery

BATTLEBEASTS JAKE! I collected them as a kid too! Animals in power armor! I still have my entire collection and I’m uh…..not a kid anymore.

Joseph McDermott

I think murph is confusing things remembered with precious moments which were the weird little religious angels

One Sexy Grinch

Please twitch stream a club penguin introduction. I know you are able to be in the penguin secret agent society

Mnixon

Fuck ai

Thomas Jager

At the time it was relevant, I loved getting Wii games from the library!

kin

it’s very heartening to hear yall make fun of ai❣️❣️❣️

chlo!

fuck ai IS the most based and reliable stance shoutout caldwell

Kai

I always thought the excessive slow-mo in 300 was meant to mimic the panels of the graphic novel. Like the still images brought to life and the action scene slowed down to meet in the middle

rosebramblewolf

I was definitely picturing the baby angels as Linda's porcelain babies from Bob's Burgers, except with wings.

Zeon Liberation

Tell Murph that Heather Anne Campbell, who is also a HeadGum podcast host, has a Pizza Hut lamp and Pizza Hut cups. Make that work somehow.

SlainSigny

i felt some odd sense of chicagoan pride as they figured out how truly awful the dmb shit incident was and i’m not sure what to make of that

A.J.

my friend's family used to collect everything pilsbury dough boy themed. i had no warning. needless to say i thought i was on punk'd

Baron Bullywug

I love when Caldwell makes a reference that would have absolutely slapped on Drawfee lol

Brant

“I turned 40 and i’m just like, I guess I’m a guy who wants cups from Pizza Hut” spoke to my SOUL

PorkRocket

I gotta side with Murph Twootters Crew was heavily implied. There unfortunately was no 2 rolled. :(

LM Larson

300 and Sin City were both based on Frank Miller graphic novels, so the films were stylized to look as much like the comic book pages as possible. Sometimes that works/holds up (Sin City) and sometimes it fails (300).

Dillydylandally

What the fuck are they talking about? I’m 24 mins in

Sarah Berland

Pretty sure the angels in question are Precious Moments crossed with the naked cherubs from the centaur section of Fantasia

Jay W

Am I crazy or have they already talked about the dumping in the Chicago river or did I read that somewhere else like did it go viral on social media recently? 😭😭

rikky

absolutely here for the tangents about movies you rented from the library and recounting weird events from the early 2000s not even a little confused or disappointed ᵕ̈

Hostage4hire

i am living for murph describing the tragedy dave matthews band caused also fuck AI

Mortimer Lunch

Murph, please. For the love of all that is holy, just add “-ai” at the end of your google search. I can’t even laugh at that anymore, it’s slowly killing me. Don’t give their ai more use. Fuck AI.

Jordanne Stahl

comment for all the library lovers and librarians to express their love for borrowing physical media from the library

Bryce Peterson

Harry Potter and the Throes of Labubudom Also, collecting drink containers seems to be a right of passage for becoming an adult. Always appreciated the large variety of weird mugs, cups, and bottles my and my friend’s families had.

Sabrina

Saint Thérèse’s relics are actually on a national tour of the US right now lol. Maybe she’ll go to Chicago

Ryan Higgins

You're going to make me google the density of gray vs black water LOOOL edit: the math is serious

Charlie W

Just wanted to say there are 100% pieces of saints bones at most if not at all Catholic Churches… my church in junior high has like a sliver of a bone, but they were not used as a weapon 😔

Peregrine

My *ecology* professor promotes AI and it pisses me off

Sarah Berland

Also Twootters Crewtters? Twootters Cooters?

Melissa

Millennial from the club penguin squad reporting for duty 🫡

Declane Gilhooley

You guys really need to look up how 300 was made. It's pretty insulting for a very low budget film that was made in Quebec, for you guys to turn around and shit on it many years later. It honestly revolutionized or at least showed that a low budget film can be good

Jamie Matthews

All this talk about renting movies at the library warms my heart!! I work at my local library and LOVE seeing people get hyped for a family movie night and it's always so fun to hear about their hot takes on the film when they return it. I am so glad y'all are spreading the good word about libraries!! 📚✨️

Seth Short

For those interested by the discussion to paint the hooters in pristine nature I'd suggest checking out the painter Jake Longstreth who actually does almost this exact thing: https://jakelongstreth.com/#/paintings-2019present/ He paints landscapes of nature mixed with corporate franchised type buildings such as fast food restaurants and big box stores and they're actually incredibly beautiful and captivating. And yes, if you click the link and scroll down for enough you will indeed see a painting he has made of the first Hooters restaurant.

daisy

a bad movie is a bad movie man

Ray Matford

All the talk about saints, bones, and badass golden reliquaries makes me sad that Martin Luther was an iconoclast. Protestantism is great, but there’s no denying the Catholics have a cooler aesthetic.

Ray Matford

So cool that you’re a Patreon supporter, Mr. Snyder!

Caro Norto

Please never stop dunking on ai

Ellory Hendrickson

Please keep making fun of AI. It sucks so bad and it’s nice to not be the only one saying it

Steph

Raising my Finn’s for the club penguin shout out

Salamander

I love when murph wants to be off topic he gets shut down immediately

Salamander

Feeling extremely seen as someone who gets DVDs from the library

Bwyan

Am I having the craziest deja vu or can someone please reassure me they've told the National Security rental story before?

Retail Hell Court Jester

My Illinois native millennial heart absolutely cracked up remembering the DMB Poopgate story

Ro

My nana had a clown house, so just loads of little porcelain clowns everywhere, paintings of clowns. I bloody loved it?! My other grandad is the sweetest man but collects themed Toby jugs…so the house is wall to wall porcelain faces of like jack nicholson, miss piggy, the cast of Star Trek for some reason. Again, rad. I love a chotchky house! And I hate AI, pls keep raggin on it!

MitchySlaps

I’m currently looking at my wife’s collection of Precious Moments while I’m working out and I am thankful she has them on marketplace to sell. Please get this mess out of the house 😂

MitchySlaps

My mom forced me to collect pewter clowns. They were a nightmare.

Sam s

never stop shitting on ai it makes my day each time

Saoirse

They showed 300 at my middle school as a history flick lol, we had to get permission slips for it and everything

ACK

Key 300 memory of mine was a parody voice over. When they get to the tree where a bunch of people including kids had been killed by Persians, they had the Spartan say "this is awful, these children should have been thrown off the baby killing cliff instead!".

el

they def have

el

libraries are back in a big way, all my friends get movies and tv shows! from the library

Tabaxi Druid Sarah

Nothing makes me happier than knowing Emily and Murph did not like 300. I tried to watch it twice and fell asleep both times. Emily is right, as an action fan the action in it is bad. The style is also bad, but that's just Zack Snyder being Zack Snyder and his style is not my jam. I remember when that movie was super popular and it's nice to know that I'm not alone anymore in thinking it was bad.

Anna Sun

If anyone is interested in medieval Catholics and their Thing with Bones, there is a book on the cultural history of touch called The Deepest Sense with a chapter called “A Touchable God” that talks about it in detail. People were fighting to touch pieces of saints’ corpses. Fun!

Ethan Collins

Love the DVD borrowing shoutout. Support your local library! It brings back those Blockbuster browsing sensations

deranged pigeon

SO glad yall went to the dave matthews band shit incident wiki i Needed to hear the reaction to yall learning it emptied into a passenger boat😭

Sofa loaf

I’m not an expert in holy relics, but I know Oscar Romeros bowels were buried separately from his body. If they didn’t decompose that would be considered one of his miracles and go towards his canonization process. So I would assume that bones would become relics pretty quickly.

Almost Dr. Katz

I wrote a term paper on Sin City and while it still mostly holds up in my opinion, my biggest take away is that Brittney Murphy is the only one who realizes she’s in a film noir and bc no one else does it makes her acting look bad 😂

Felix

club penguin was the shit

kaylee w

Might be a Midwest thing but a significant number of houses near me had a porch goose that they’d dress up in seasonal garb throughout the year

clerby

the national security bit is one of the funniest things i’ve ever heard. i love it sm.

Wojtek

I was 14 when 300 came out. Me and the boys watched it dozens of times, usually in my basement on a CRT TV through the PS2 while we ate an entire tray of brownies. That was probably my peak.

Max Herzog

The best thing 300 gave us was the spoof Meet The Spartans

Jesse Smith

Wild people cant grasp the observer effect 😂 its woo woo until you look into it for 5 minutes. It takes light to see and measure things, the particles used are small enough to be effected by light, therefore changing the outcome. Its not because of our consciousness or other bullshit lol

Sophie

It’s so funny that Murph brought up watching 300 with Emily almost immediately, and really wanted to address it up top, then 20 mins later is the one to say ‘what are we doing, we’re just talking about 300, our audience is like ‘wtf are they talking about’’

BuzzingAround

related to the tag sale/yard sales - if you've ever done the NYT regional dialect quiz for the US turns out that tag sale is a super region specific term. As in, pretty much just Fairfield County in CT and the surrounding areas and that's it. The quiz is a bit old at this point and usage has probably spread a little bit, but I found that a neat fact! it's also a good way to immediately identify former CT residents

Kylie

I want to preface this with that I’ve never been to New York, so don’t know what route the amtrak north takes but some googling suggests the castle Emily and Caldwell talk about seeing could be on North Brother Island. If it is, it’s the remnants of the hospital where Mary Mallon (Typhoid Mary) was confined. It was what I immediately thought of as a microbiologist who was absolutely drilled on the importance of asymptomatic carriers in the spread of disease and the ethics around how to address them (spoiler, confine them for the rest of their life isn’t really an acceptable option anymore 😬)

Xacris

I have some pretty strong memories of seeing 300 in the theaters back in highschool with my buds, and we were all SO pumped leaving the theater lol. We hadn't gotten tired of the slow-mo yet. I refuse to see it again, there's no way it can hold up to my memories

Erin Epperson

The little 00’s shrug was made for me and I love them.

Garrett Gilbart

Bannerman Island is pretty dramatic, I took the train down from Montreal once and researched it. It was built by an eccentric military surplus dealer who used it to store gear and ammunition, some pretty crazy stuff too, until it exploded a few years after he died.

humbiglio

Yall gotta read jojos bizarre adventure part 7 its all about about collecting jesus’ bones scattered across america

literatemushroom

I think Nao Cheeky Cherubs might be the angels Murph had in mind

Roz Rae Powers

I loved these eps! I appreciate that y'all don't go in for the AI nonsense that's flooding the zone so much these days; please don't change and succumb to the slop 💜💜💜 A-Frame Hooters (Twooters) made me think of Twin Peaks. That may be a Texas only thing though!

Doctor Ransom

I already loathed DMB before Poopgate and I loathe them infinitely more after. There’s no coming back from Poopgate.

kpthedruid

re: Emily's worry about alienating people with the anti-AI talk. I'm a big AI hater as so much about it goes against my morals. I'm also a university student, and have to hear my peers succumbing to the AI slop and using AI for anything and everything. Hearing you guys hate on it and call the issues with it out unabashedly is a nice break from the environment i spend so much of my time in. so I hope u guys keep it up :))

YourAnimeDad

This is my favorite short rest ep in a while. So glad the rants are back. I missed them

alwayshome

I need a crew reaction to Suckerpunch now.

YourAnimeDad

300 was such a huge part of my teens, our whole friend group reenacted some scenes too. It was a bros for bros no bromo kinda film. And to address the slow mo excessiveness. Only other movie doing it was the Matrix and this was like nestled perfectly in between movies

Stefan UrKILL (Figgy)

Also a major AI hater, I have a degree in Creative Writing that I should be able to leverage to get a decent paying entry level job. I feel absolutely crazy and depressed seeing what’s happened to my industry and I feel crazy talking to people who think I should be using it because xyz. I’m constantly battling my managers who want me to “speed up” my writing process with AI slop, and people saying I should’ve gotten a “better degree.” Them dunking on AI when it comes up does a teeny tiny part to restore some of my sanity. I could not give a singular less of a fuck about people who would just as soon take away the jobs of my favorite podcasters by generating some AI slop version of this podcast.

Pokeylope

Zach Snyder got his start in commercials so it makes sense that his movies make better trailers than narratives. He did those commercials from way back where greyscale people sweat colorful beads of gatorade.

Griffin H

Incredibly rare Amherst College shoutout

Elizabeth Gunn, sickly but cruel

Oooo, I had the Polar Claw Beastwars toy when I was a kid, my brother and I were obsessed. It's just boy polly pocket, exact same glorious experience, as a kid who had both.

Brock

boomer take 300 rips

mancrushmaya

I went to college in western mass and picked up saying tag sales and was delighted to hear jake say it! don't think anyone else I went to school with still says it lol

mancrushmaya

tbh he says the H in an unconvincing way

Kelley Mc

As one who lives very close to the Precious Moments Museum, that was my exact picture

Sally Lou

I just need to say if anyone wants more info on the Dave Matthews band incident a great auzzie podcast "just the gist" does a great episode on it. It's WILD.

Lauren

As a Chicagoan it’s so funny hearing them learn about the DMB incident I thought everyone knew they dumped the poop on people

Kathryn Martin

My Papaw has a sick chess collection. I wasn’t even allowed to touch the giant display case they were in.

L Benni

Never stop vocally hating AI. This is the only media I consume that is vehemently against it and I need the reminder that I'm not insane for avoiding it at all costs.

AutomaTom

Second comment in 6yrs subscription: don't worry, AI deserves the hate. Love to you all

Billie Ash

Absolutely fucking hate AI - never stop hating AI. Make AI lovers feel bad forever.

tautcarabiner

Troy IS bad, but I hope Murph enjoys it more than I did

Michael Graham Abernathy

Restaurants with matchbooks? That's a thing? Do i just never go to fancy enough restaurants? What would they even be for, if restaurants don't have smoking sections anymore?

Michael Graham Abernathy

But also, I contend that anyone who is alienated by y'all's disdain for AI deserves to be alienated.

Ashley

This unlocked a memory of when I used to be really in to collecting those ceramic cow figurines that came decorated in different art styles/design motifs in the late 90s/early 2000s. Apparently they still make them! https://cowparade.com/shop/

Ashley

Adding a second comment because I live in Poughkeepsie, the last stop on the Metro North and yes, that little island is called Bannerman castle. Here’s a link to the history on their website: https://bannermancastle.org/history We always gossiped as kids that the reason no one could go there was because there were so much leftover live ammunition scattered across the island that it was too dangerous. With that said, I believe it’s open for Kayak tours now.

Olivia M

Pro tip to avoid ai in searches: download ecosia, which is a chrome extension, then toggle off the AI summary. It'll be like Google in 2015 again!

John Cannistraro

Seeing that this short rest was going to go an hour I knew there was going to be a wicked tangent

Bjoernar Tuftin

The only bad movie choice I can recall is getting Arachnophobia on VHS (also had to rent the player) which my dad was _mad_ about. How were we to know he didn't want to relax with some arachnid horror right after work?

Cesar Vera

Hudson Line Metro-North represented!!

Hamster Nipples

...so no short rest about the episode😑 and Emily shitti g on 300 but talks about how amazing Batman An Robin is

Georgia

has there ever been a short rest Less about the actual episode 😂

Hamster Nipples

Worst short rest ever! So bad u actually commented 😑

Sodzha

My grandmother collected owls...now I do

Zodi

An A-frame house with a parking lot and a Hooters glow? With perches for crows? You just built the fantasy spot for rollerbladers

Bubble-gun 🔫💖

30:54 Emily shouting NO! so loud the audio distorted 🤣🤣

margot d

Club penguin heads unite 🫡🫡🫡🫡

lolauren

Relics are mostly bones! The word comes from a Latin word meaning “remnant” as in the remains or remnants of. So mostly bones, dust, hair etc. or there are “contact relics” that are materials which made contact with a holy person—wood, textiles, etc would fit in this category.

Jaime Weaver

Battle beasts actually are transformers! Or related to them anyway. In a Japanese exclusive cartoon there was a whole episode dedicated to the two of them meeting!

Jaime Weaver

That’s literally why I’m here

Katie Lackey

Oh no, once they start they’ll never stop!

Gogs

Bannerman Island, the family created Army Navy Surplus stores!

Unloved

The battle beasts i had weren't transformers at all. They were just figures that had weapons and had an element sticker on them that you had to heat up to see which element it was. Fire, water or wood

Kingzley Sparkman

Emily: I wonder if AI hate will bother listeners. Also Emily: Do they use Jesus' bones as weapons in Christianity? I love these guys 😂

timweather

I’m disappointed no one in the comments made the “Shittle Lady” joke. It’s definitely not too soon.

malo

top tier short rest this week, keep up the good work

Hermit

i’m raising my fin

Ilana Galpert

The comment section for this short rest: twooters, Dave Matthews, Island castles, 300, angel butts. Proof that the Internet is a marketplace of ideas.

Vinegar Tom

Bannerman Castle! You can take a tour of it!

Kerry

Fellow library dvd borrower here and would love a view crew episode about movies that Em and Murph have checked out! Local libraries are truly so important and it makes me so happy anytime they get mentioned.

seda

the AI stance is refreshing, I am also intensely opposed to seeing it everywhere/using it and people around me chastise me for not wanting to use it. listening to you all make fun of it truly makes me feel normal

Katherine H

Next time you go to Chicago you need to see the plaque on the Kinzie Street bridge about the DMB poop incident. I’m so glad you now know the full horrors of the shitastrophy.

Rain Elizabeth

Love the ai hate so much. It truly is ruining Google. I was trying to research stuff for an astral elf grave domain build, and the AI just decided to go "here's a horrible backstory for your character so you don't have to do it yourself" and the actual websites were so buried under that and the ai recommended searches

Sam

let’s tip the iceberg fellow gen-z-ers

David Allison

Pretty sure the nude figurines Murph is thinking of are Love is… by Kim Casali, they were big in the 70’s

Nova

I actually watched Sin City a few weeks ago with some friends! It’s so over the top that it feels like a parody, but that also makes it kind of fun.

Tim

My other favorite part of the DMB shit story is that, in 2014, the founders of Riot Fest put up a plaque to commemorate the incident.

Justin Lust

You forgot about the essence of the game. It's about the bones...

ethical non mahogany

Regarding making the wrong DVD choice - a roommate and I loved watching bad movies and making fun of them (a la MST3K). One weekend we rented Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter and Christopher Lambert's Beowulf. JC:VH was delightfully bad in the most fun ways but Beowulf was so actually bad that we ran out of things to say 25 minutes in and just sat there, flummoxed.

Shane C

100000% agreed on that Coca Cola ad, it’s awful

lexapalooza

Checking out DVDs at the library is such a good strat, been doing it since I was a kid 😆

Blaize Gordon

Now Emily amd Murphy need to immediately watch the 300 parody movie that was out amongst all the disaster movie and scary movies, the way they make fun of the original I feel like will make them hollering with laughter

Mike Y

Caldwell was talking about the series by photographer Eiji Ohashi and I was skeptical but the vending machine photos are undeniably beautiful

Helencopter

I'd like to assure Emily that if anything you're not making fun of AI enough. (But seriously it is always a relief when creators I love also understand AI is bullshit so thank you)

Helencopter

Literally in this EXACT boat, MA in Creative Writing and actually lost my last job cuz I kept trying to softly push back against AI. My whole team got fired and replaced by one person whose whole resume is about "leveraging AI" and all the articles they put out now are lightly edited slop.

Mikel

This is the short rest energy I'm here for. DVDs from the library ❤️

Mikel

I didn't expect Snyder fans beefing in this corner of the internet

Rayjay Johnson

Emily should start watching old Jackie Chan and other Hong Kong movies from the 80s and 90s

Adam!!!!!

i'm pretty sure i remember a whole thing where two churches were going after each other stealing bones back and forth back in like old england

Cyrus

Caldwell, wound you consider sketching this insane house on your stream this month? (I need to see it, I cannot comprehend this…)

Seasquidley

Keep making fun of AI, it makes me feel seen

Camille Brookwell

The fact that the Spartans were Hella brave and Hella into fighting was the only historically accurate part of the film. The Spartans were an incredibly militaristic culture.

Kelly Gilbert

My librarian heart swells with joy whenever y'all mention visiting the library!!

Ellie P

Bones being in a church is an interesting topic actually! If you are curious google “Christian Relic Theft”

Emma Robinson

Omg as a millennial who owns an antique store, them boomers really really REALLY do think their giant collections of angels/teacups/commemorative plates/tiny spoons are worth a lot of money.

Simon Hughes

If you guys just wanted to talk about random movies from the early 2000s that you rented from the library for a bonus, then I'm absolutely here for it, that's basically what you do anyways

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Story in the Old Testament about Samson and Delilah, Samson kills like 2000 soldiers with the jawbone of an ass.

Hugo Wull

That request for Troy is gonna be worth it. It’s a great film to watch for free… probably wouldn’t pay for it but it holds up.

Hugo Wull

Also the only thing I remember from when 300 was popular was people losing their minds that Leonidas and THE Phantom of the Opera were the same actor. …I was not a cool kid in high school.

ThacoIsWacko

Casino is objectively better than 300, and I like 300.

Christopher Martin-Givens

Chicago will never forget the DMB incident, it's in the news every year on the anniversary.

Matthew Schroeder

Fun Fact!!! During the black death priests robbed the Graves of poor people and used their bones as (effectively) advertising to convince pagans to donate their money to the church. It played off of their long held pagan beliefs of ancestor worship and tied it to the Catholic Church!

Matthew Schroeder

They pretended to bones were the bones of saints and had whole shows where they displayed them in churches across Europe

FiendishNoodles

At this point i'm listening to the show so I can enjoy the short rest bits more (show is great the short rest is just transcendent)

Barbara Williams

Did you all know that most public libraries have apps called hoopla and canopy, where you can download and read, listen, watch books, audiobooks, movies and tv for free? It also works in a smart tv. Also I worked as a public librarian for years, and we always get the latest media on dvd. They still make dvds of everything, and we would get them early and had it available the day it was released.

Andrew Lazarus

Club penguin fin-waver here 🐧🐧 Breakfast place fortified for war is just a waffle house, classic W frame ideology

9on

club penguin heads, rise! party at my igloo!

Denatonia (Haven)

Sweeties I promise that you guys constantly hating on AI is the OPPOSITE of alienating. Please keep going. Fuck genAI forever

Barbara Williams

You’re correct. Sorry my library doesn’t use Kanopy, but I know about it

Joey Conn

I love getting movies from the library please keep talking about it!

Amelia Campbell

Pretty confident the venn diagram of AI haters and NADDPOLES is a circle

hexcat

When I was in university, the other classics majors and I would have an event where we would watch 300 and yell about everything wrong with it. The yelling was constant.

Sunshine Shenanigans

As a Librarian, you talk about Libraries as much as you want! It would solve a lot of problems if everyone just checked out 300 (and other films) from their Library.

J. Gro

I collected Calico Kittens, my sister collected Cherished Teddies (two different collections of figurines by the same company). A family friend made custom cabinets to display them in our rooms... This was absolutely something our grandma bought for us, and she - till her dying days - would say that she still had plans to sell the collectibles (all she had to do was price compare on ebay). Bless her sweet little heart.

J. Gro

I've never heard of poop gate before, and I share Emily's response. I have a newborn baby, and thinking about the baby on the ship fills me with terror and rage. This has ruined DMB and boats on rivers, forever.

MamaMayhem - Sal Soeh, Sal Nu

Fear of choosing the wrong movie meant my brothers and I *always* ended up renting the same four movies: TMNT, Jem & the Holograms, Surf Ninjas and A Goofy Movie.

Evan

Troy absolutely is bad, maybe not as bad as 300 but bad

Kat !

a lot of the worlds problems WOULD be solved if people were renting 300 from the library !!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Micholaus

I’m getting caught up and I’m a few weeks behind, but I was also an altar boy, and I remember that my church had a container that had fragments of what I believe were the ankle bones of a Saint.

meggo

how does Caldwell not know of the 300 comic book?

Ambrose Blanchard

emily!! i have a book rec if u want to learn more abt the process of sainthood specifically for women! there’s not a lot of like specifics fot sainthood necessarily BUT it would be a really good place to start if you’re interested! Secrets of Women: Gender, Generation, and the Origins of Human Dissection by Katherine Park

A Really Cool Rock

Rather If yall weren't this stance/talking shit on ai, i wouldve been out. Much better alienate those who 'like' ai

Joey (edited)

2026-09-11 14:00 I love nothing more than when you all talk about how much you hate AI! AI is disastrous to the planet and destroy destroying art while stealing from artists

I love nothing more than when you all talk about how much you hate AI! AI is disastrous to the planet and destroying art while stealing from artists

Katie P.

One fun fact is in medieval France they would take a saint's relic on little jaunts to neighboring towns or countrysides only to return home at the end, like a little vacation. Locals would act like if a celebrity rolled into town for a season, often being annoyed and sometimes ridiculing them for abandoning their home church

Nathan Rogers

Fun Fact: my friend's wife was on the little lady when it got drenched in shit. She still likes DMB.

aiyana graham art

"we're talking about 300 cause we get dvds from the library" welcome back, 2005!!!! I loved getting dvds from the library with my mom when I was a kid and im fully on board with dvds being back

Meghan

Please never stop mocking AI. I never want it to be normalized. Caldwell’s rage about it when it first started becoming popular was the main reason I was willing to subscribe

Caroline Schroer

if you add “-ai” to your google searches it won’t give you the stupid overview—i’ve made it a shortcut in my phone when i type “ai” so it’s even easier. never stop mocking ai lol, i hate how many people think it’s normal and fine

I’m a little late, but an FYI for Emily: Shrugs are for those of us that have fat upper arms that we are self conscious about but really like the rest of our body. It’s like a comfort cover. I can understand why Emily thinks they are weird because if you never have a need for them, it seems silly. But they are part of my wardrobe and help me feel confident. So they are for somebody. 😁

I’m 20, club penguin was my childhood! So many fond memories!

300 is a fantastic movie that me and my family watch every Christmas Day along with tombstone.

Idk if anyone has said this yet But bannerman castle has an insane history and I believe was a private military warehouse for some insane rich dude You can do canoe tours out there and sometimes there’s folk concerts If Dave Matthews does a concert there he can shit right in the river!

3:20 rare Murph wants to go off the rails but EMILY insists on getting back on track

Reliquaries are objects that often contain physical remains of saints and other objects associated with religious figures. There is also a fun history of churches stealing other churches reliquaries and then invoking “that the reliquary chose to reside here” as their justification for theft 😂

“Dave Matthew’s Brown”

Aidan Boyle

I think he does, he mentioned Sin City and said "that's also a Frank Miller" so it seems like he's aware

Wouldn't there be no bones of Jesus in the catholic cannon because he rose from the tomb and ascended to heaven

Emily- Shrugs are, as another commenter said, mostly for those of us with fat upper arms. The other commenter specified being self conscious about the upper arms but liking the rest of their body, which is great for them and does cover one use case. But liking the rest of your body isn't necessary. Some fat people have trouble finding clothes for the upper body that fits correctly. Shirts/dresses jackets/coats that fit well everywhere else will often NOT fit my upper arms. If the upper arms are a comfortable fit, then the rest of the garment is likely oversized, which is fine for some things but not others. I wear a LOT of tank tops because of this fit issue, and I used to wear shrugs with them when it was cold because I could find tanks that fit my torso and shrugs that fit my arms easier than a fitted sweater or long sleeve shirt that actually fit both. Fat or not, shrugs are also a way to keep your arms warm/covered while also showing whatever top is under them. They are a little weird, but they can be styled to look good. Fortunately though, size inclusive clothing has expanded a bit over time and we have more options now.

You would be surprised. I saw Trump supporters commenting on the D&D court compilations for election day

This whole 300 convo I'm waiting for them to bring out how blatanly racist it is

The Precious Moments talk killed me. My mom has a HUGE precious moments snowglobe collection! Not because she ever asked for them, but because that’s all I could think of buying her for holidays from 16-23.

riskutforthebriskut

what an original take in 2026 lmao never would have guessed

riskutforthebriskut

i love how they will blatantly politicize normal stuff and not bat an eye but worried about losing people while shitting on ai.... they're getting old lmao

First, died laughing at Emily screaming “NOOO” like Vader at the end of revenge of the sith. Second, if you think reliquaries or saint bones are interesting at all and want to go on a historical fiction adventure about it, I highly recommend reading Nicked by MT Anderson.

I didn’t see 300 in theaters but I did see Meet the Spartans in theaters. I cannot imagine a world in which it holds up AT ALL and I’m afraid to confirm either way.

Max Herzog

There is no way that it holds up lmao

Summer Tribe

What are you trying to get at dog?

pedalinpigeons

It’s funny Em and Murph watched 300 from the library because when I worked at my local library in the shelving department we had a “game” where if we shelved 300 books in a day we could kick our supervisor down the elevator shaft shouting “This is Sparta!”. Obviously not ACTUALLY kick him down it, but we would joke about it a lot. 😂

Noelle Steen

I saw 300 and my husband and I hated it a lot. I had someone tell me I just didn't understand it because I'm not an ~artist~. 😒

Claire

As someone who started listening last year and has been catching up, it's great to hear how much y'all hate AI as compared to the episode a few years ago where you were all interested in it (except Caldwell, creatives have been warning everyone since the start!!!)

Joy 🦆

Literally commenting on this soooo late, but my re-listen of the campaign made me remember that my paternal grandparents would always gift my parents those dumb porcelain Precious Moments figurines and my mom HATED them and always derogatorily called them “Precious Big Heads”

Clotilde

Fuck AI. Long live the library.

Fikon

Just a far too late comment on this episode, but my mom met Dave Matthews after one of his shows at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin. I was an usher for the shows as my first job in high school, and she was waiting to pick me up after work. He walked by she said hi not knowing who he was, they talked for a minute and that’s that lmao

Whitney T

I had one of those shrugs that went w a summer dress and my friends teased me mercilessly about it and threw it out when I wasn’t looking bc they had the same argument 🤣🤣🤣. I have got to find the picture of it
