Perfect timing. This is gonna make my gym time much nicer

Kalunyx

Happy new year all!! 💜 Crackle crackle

Nairi Malkhasian

been waiting for this all morning! first crackle crackle of 2024 🥳🔥

Pete

Ahoo hoo to you~

Mike Garcia

Welcome back and happy new year! Ahoo hoo and crackle crackle gang

The Wizard Ink

Brennan remains captured in the forests of panama

Sven the Scribe

Love that the cast are *also* screaming 'just give me the doc Brennan!'

Trickonometry

Hello! I’m curious, do we know if Brennan be, uh, “returning from Panama” anytime soon and/or if we should expect him to be an infrequent member of the Fireside Chats moving forward? I only ask because he’s a wonderful presence! Still love hearing these three chatting about the show (and trains), just wondering if I should be resetting my expectations on who will be a regular participant moving forward! (-:

Kier Oldkirk

Crackle crackle y'all. This not showing up in pocket cast for anyone else?

Jake the Cake

When Ursalon told Suvi to shut up, I wanted her to respond in that quick anger of like "No YOU shut up, don't ruin another thing for me" cuz that's what was running in my mind and would have been spiiiicy 👀

Justin Melillo

At this point it would be very funny if they didn’t introduce Brennan but like 25 minutes in he starts talking

Samuel Elkanick

I feel like there's usually a bit of a delay for a patreon show to appear in pocketcasts. Generally if I want to listen before it's up in pocketcasts, then I'll just listen in the Patreon player

Kier Oldkirk

Thank you. I never check this early.

Sven the Scribe

'All she knows is... when you guys walk that fast, and Suvi doesn't know what's gonna happen, *hundreds* of people die.' - Damn!

Joey Sawyers

Is it just me or did this not get sent out to RSS? I'm (unfortunately) switching from Google Podcasts to YouTube Music; it brought my RSS to YM but the last episode I can see is Dec 12th. :(

Kalunyx

It hit me super hard cause I was like 'Eursolon! Dafuq bro. Just say things out loud to your friends.. Suvi only sees you messing with her citadel and you know she's not about that. Explaaaaaaain' so Suvi waiting instead of reacting was a jolt. She's growing up, my heart.

Emily Stetson

Best way to see the Statue of Liberty without a tour is to take the IKEA ferry, you get a nice water view, and everyone else is just kind of there to buy furniture, so no competition to get photos. And then you can get a cinnamon roll at the end. From a New Yorker who never stopped looking up 😊

Kalunyx

I'm glad Aabria isn't sorry. Damnit we should be allowed to be thirsty enough for bathwater ok?

Thomas Flott

Every time they play bag it or tag it I just want more!!!!!

Michelle Spurgeon

Happy new year. Hopefully Brennan can be found soon. I'm getting worried about him being lost in the jungle.

Alec

Elizabeth Lee

Craig always has such big mirror from shrek energy during bag it or tag it lmao. It’s one of my favorite parts of the fireside and I can’t wait for Brennan to play bag it or tag it

Ashley P

Lou shouting "CRAIG!!" slightly off mic, multiple times, absolutely killed me 🤣

Kai Calvert

I really appreciate that the prison metaphor for spirits is one of those classic “Brennan does a sort of horror of humanity take, while also pointing to areas of nuance, and the characters being introduced to this situation get to take a stance.” Like as someone who literally talked with my therapist yesterday about “The power of metaphor,” it is a really nice like kneading of the imagination.

zoozle

Okay but "Romance on the Rails" is suddenly something I need.

Emily Stetson

Maybe we’ll get a romancing the stone one shot out of this

Lucas Boyer

Seriously though, why did Brennan quit doing the fireside? Is he leaving the pod altogether?

ngaire

it's fine for me (i use pocket casts)

Dan

Omg Taylor did such a good job on the theme song, $150 was a great deal for Craig

Sean Endress

Ok but when do we get the spin-off podcast, Train Talk?

embraceweird

I'm crying at the Bag It or Tag It theme 🤣

Sasha

Nothing could've been funnier than Lou building up all that hype for an original song, only for Taylor to play crazy frog again😂

johanna

Bag it or tag it full song drop when!!

Apple Slapple

Can't wait for Brennan to play bag it or tag it

lil guy

Railway divorces is a thing that truly will live in my mind for, maybe ever

lil guy

YES!! The people are begging!!! Clamouring!!!

lil guy

That's such a perfect reference

Kate H.

Fuck outer wilds is so good

Ms.Peach

Erika I'm also in the middle of playing outer wilds!!!! The music combined with the slowly unwrapping story never fails to stir my emotions, and now i find myself humming the main tune randomly >w<

Chris Kagamine

49:40 congrats Erika on the ADHD, lol. A lot of Neurodivergent people forget about people when they aren't there, but feel like no time has passed when you see the again. I and most of my friend are neurodivergent, so we've forgotten about each other for months, then talk like no time has passed. Unfortunately, only my Neurotypical friends have gotten married, so I don't get invited to a lot of weddings: cause I wasn't on top of maintaining the friendships (aka I forgot for too long)

Sean Hakala

If we’re being honest about rail-based divorces it’s mostly because of the spouses of train crews not being able to handle the terrible hours their partner has to work and the fact that their partner can’t plan events in advance because they’re always on call.

Sander Goldman

God Outer Wilds is the best game ever fucking made

Brandon Rilling

I miss Brendon but I don't miss Brennan/j

Ocean Man

That themesong killed me

THEY Agenda Productions

I'm imagining Craig & Devonte (Lou) switching seats when a question is posed to one of them.

Lojaan

So in today's parlance it's pronounced "jizzard"

Peydon Bush

The word wizard comes from the old English word “Ard” for person, and the word “Wise”. So, wise person 😎🧙‍♂️

eve

bring back unkie deaux!

Divanté Malachi

Hearing my name in this feels wild, don't really hear it out in the wild too frequently

Brendan

Good thing I’m single, I can ride all the trains I want!

Killjoy Toku

I didn’t expect to read my name

Cody Hasselbring

ERIKA IS PLAYING OUTER WILDS!?!? I will not be normal about this. Erika how do you like it so far. You should play the DLC too it’s amazing

Blue Jones

I knew the crazy frog was coming. But it was still too good.

bitterbaldguy

I need this as a TV show or animation

faizaan723

When it was crazy frog again I lost it, so fuvking good

Neal

OUTER WILDS LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

BakingBad

the shut up was the moment my knitting tension changed again gosh darn it devontae, first aabria now you im crying here

Sean Case

Ahooo hoo and crackle crackle

Sydney Nylia

My favorite thing is that I honestly have no idea if the theme song is Lou's bit or Taylor's bit. 😂 Perfection

Brandon Carbaugh

That moment between the three of them in the gallery honestly felt like the kind of foreshadowing thing an author drops in book 1, when book 3 has the former friends tragically leading opposed armies and shouting recriminations at one another from across battlefields. I was like "OH NO STOP FIGHTING BE FRIENDS"

Phoenix Vizva’i

Taylor’s already done so many incredible soundscapes, but the Bag It or Tag It theme is truly hauntingly beautiful. Best work yet 11/10 👍👍

Strange Universe

Any word on when Brennan will be back from South America?

Charlie

Outer Wilds is an AMAZING video game. For those who really liked Outer Wilds, might I also suggest a game I just finished and loved for the same reasons: Dredge. Very cool, very Maine, very Cthlulu, very thalassophobia. Very similar to Outer Wilds. Highly recommend.

Nessa_Vives

Bag It or Tag It has to be one of the best mini games, it never fails to make me laugh

Rowan Sauer

A Choo Choo to Devonte Penny!

Demelza Walkden

Guys I think Brennan and Lou died in Panama…

Demelza Walkden

They’re gonna have to start using Taylor as a stand-in for Brennan

Alsritt

When I tell you I absolutely lost it at the theme song, I mean that I got strange looks from my coworkers from across the entire cubicle farm

Edward Terry-Smith

Erica: Does anyone else forget people if they're not in front of them? That fish head from Sponge Bob: Breaking news! Erika Ishii has ADHD!

Alissa

You can really feel how much heart and effort Taylor put into that new theme song.

Mary Davison

Ooooooh, I have a suggestion for a Play-system to use with Mini Christmas Villiages! Has anyone else heard of "Hometown Holidays" by Nick Tourville? It's a one-shot TTRPG based on Hallmark Holiday movies and would actually be perfect. Not sure if it's ok to post a link here?

Connor

I love Lou doing some world building to allow them to play “Bag it or Tag it” 😂

Conor Steinke

Ride the divorce train and ride it (woo woooo) irrec differences it's a choo choo ride it (woo woooo)

Wiring Careful

Was Ghost one of the voices (Kith and Kin 1:12:10) in the collection?

Dillon Franca

mr penny is easily my new favorite guest

Matthew Curtis

Outer Wilds goes hard! be sure to play Echoes of the Eye (the dlc) Erika!

Cody Davidson

Loving the brand new original bag it or tag it theme song !!

Sean Kelley

You know, if I had a PENNY for every time Lou came on and pretended to be a completely new guest... I'd have a Devonte Penny.

Sean Kelley

Devonte and Craig have never been seen together in the same room. Coincidence? I think not.

Sean Kelley

There ain't no way, THERE AIN'T NO WAY— TAYLOR WITH THE STEEL CHAIR AND CRAZY FROG FROM THE TOP ROPES—

Bryan

I wanna watch these three play Lethal Company and observe their sanity unravel over the course of about 10 minutes

Stephanie Heinz

My brain when Erika asked my question simultaneously turned into goop and a firework. As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, learning that relationship degradation was a *thing* and that a lot of people naturally experience it changed my entire understanding of interacting with humans 😂

mguin

big fan of the expanded Lou-niverse 💜

Cur

If that bolt hit I was going to cry.

Ivo the Mad Sorcerer

Been loving these talkbacks! I am also very excited to hear Brennan and Aabria talk about the process behind the creation of the citadel. I wouldn't mind giving ten minutes each to how the courts were designed, what the seeds were behind the different archmages, how additional flavor like the unfamiliars and the tumori were invented, where the bloody carnival came from, all that. Also, how do you start making a setting that's clearly oriented at one of your players interesting to your other players? I just want to hear as much inside baseball as I can haha

Zac Felton

The things you can get away with by being hot/being a wild one is the exact same energy.

J

The first movie is actually really fantastic - I feel like it had a cult resurgence in 2015 or something? but now I have to watch a fuckin sequel too

Thomassen Honnor

The chat is great, but I'm so excited for the Bag It or Tag It when Brennan is back

Witpending

I know it's been weeks but I'm still laughing about "he is employed as a child"

Liuba M

Oh, a Burrow’s End reference from Erika with the ‘beating heart on the battle map’ 😝

Zac

I don’t know what’s funnier, Lou commissioning a theme song or Taylor saying hold my beer after a bit and Lou feeling the need to pay

Ian Sisson

If fuck magic is Canon, that means there has definitely been a wizard Sex.

Katelyn Buchta

I laughed until I cried at bag it or tag it. Please keep these very eligible contestants coming.

Cicatrixtwigs

The people NEED the wizard Sleezy 😂

Cicatrixtwigs

Taylor, please NEVER change the Bag It or Tag It (BITI? Is that a thing?) theme tune. It cracks me up every time :D

Ruka

I was doing chores when the bag it or tag it theme kicked in and I started crying laughing, earning concerned comments from my family.

Mackenzie Moyer

When Erika mentioned the "I forget people exist" thing, I was immediately like oh honey that's the AuDHD neurospicy brain 😅

RuviGaPo

Divorce on the orient express one shot 😆

helpupoorlygaming

Hello can u join my patron as well. Subribe to me as I subrbied to u. This way we both get to a million subscribers. U sub to me the I sub to u. Do this over and over and we'll make millions. U sub me I'll sub u.

Tony Silvestri

I'm in literal tears from the crazy frog bit

Jill Paxon

harold faltermeyer is gonna come for all your asses

Michael Mallon

Well I think he's on foot and Panama is very far away so we'll probably be waiting for awhile

Christie Joesbury

My pocket casts app stopped updating the fireside. Is there a different URL I need to enter? Thanks.

shining oak

I'm so glad Craig came to visit. It makes so much sense he's family friends with Devonte!

Josh H

So does Brennan just not do these anymore?

Josh H

Oh, I guess he’s in Panama. ☺️

Vi

I’m also curious, it is hard to really discuss the episode without the DM present and the peaks behind the screen are my favorite part

Daemonique Arts

Anyone else not able to play the fireside chat episodes? Overcast keeps saying I’m not authorized.

jmjs

I was just able to download every episode except this one / it’s in my feed but I’m getting an error that tells me I’m not authorized. Any fix?

jmjs

Using Overcast on iOS and haven’t had a problem with any pattern RSS feeds in the past.

Beignet Gesserit

Ok — so, Brennan said he and Iz had a baby at their Bigger! improv show tonight and I’m not sure if it was a bit but it didn’t come across like a bit and if true that might explain why he hasn’t been part of the Fireside Chat recently

Beignet Gesserit

The baby would have been born well prior to the improv show. No babies were delivered backstage.

Trish Shirley-Temple

I feel like Erika would love Chants of the Sanaar; highly recommend, great game for decyphering alien languages and exploring civilizations 🥰

Zander Jenkins

What is murder if not divorce from life

CommodoreBlue

Soft was “careless,” but I think he may have ACTUALLY been careless. Chances are at least some spirits in The Collection are destructive forces that would kill innocents. And it sounds like he just let them ALL out, which is an understandable reaction to seeing the horrors of The Collection. But what if The Stranger was in there? What if Soft released him? Or some other evil. Grandma Wren took a much more strategic approach. She was surgical. One spirit at a time, likely after some kind of review to ensure she is in fact freeing an innocent spirit. Way better than Soft’s approach

DrHolliday

The Overcast app says “Not Authorized” on this episode only and still hasn’t let me play it :(

Cait Batchelor

You can get a lot done in a month - followed by yeah, had me on the floor

Daemonique Arts

I have the same problem. I have tried all the troubleshooting suggested by Overcast and Patreon and no luck.

Melissa Shilale

Not me silently wheezing at work during the bag it or tag it theme

Just_another_queer

I thought I was a just a horrible person until I learnt about object permanence and ADHD now I don't put pressure on myself to just remember like everyone else seemed to do and will even set alarms with people's names to remind me to talk to people and less self loathing when I straight up forget people exist

Ashley Teatum

When you grow up in NY, you just *don't* do the touristy things 😅 didn't see the Empire State Building until I took my now husband to the city. "How have you never BEEN?" IDK you just DON'T 🥲

Julia V

I had no idea what Crazy Frog was, so if it is any consolation Lou, I thought Taylor DID create an original theme song.

Katie P.

Who else started a timeline and a Miro Board for the lore? It can't just be me

The Wizard Serpent

Oh my gosh! I paint white Santas and elves brown in my house too! I didn't know multiple people did this. 🤣

Daniel Puck

Devonte is my absolute favorite guest at 8 mins in 🥰✨

Zagreus_the_knight

I loved Lou saying " he kept the money so here's the theme he made" and it being the exact same crazy frog them from before lol

kayce.

kudos to whoever came up with the name (at least i HOPE it's a kath & kim reference lol)

Laramie Hearn

Oh Erika just….describing the way ADHD people process relationships and time. I felt that in my soul lol

Erin Michelotti

I need a compilation list of everyone's favorite books, movies, video games, etc. I want to know what other grown ups who shared the same child nerdy fixations as I did consume now.

Zach K

CRAIG

Anne Procter

So pleased to see Craig back

Elizabeth Leedham

This title made me realise Kath and Kim is based off this phrase!

Felix

Laudna leaking into other podcasts, as she does

Vanessa Seatang

"I forget that people exist if they're not in front of me" ... Babes that's peak ADHD

Nick Lerche

Is crazy frog public domain yet?

Emi

More lore from the "Lou-niverse!"

Jamie ßuçklānđ

I didn't think "are" was for person, it was for strong/too much. So wizards are "too much wise". Drunkard is another example.
