[@mcwine18]

Matt’s mustache so thicc, not a single strand moved in the suck tube 💀

[@plum.preserves]

didnt have the matt reveal on my bingo card today! 😂

[@jacquelynchin5513]

i didn't have an idea of how matt would look, but the matt reveal was amazing

[@watchersleuth]

did you watch the Vesuvius episode of Puppet History?

[@guyonabuffalo5714]

Matt was revealed many moons ago on puppet history stache been strong :)

[@Narcoleptic_Goat]

Same. And the picture in my head was completely different than the reality.

[@Narcoleptic_Goat]

@@watchersleuthI have seen it but it was back when it first aired and haven’t rewatched it (surprisingly). I’ll have to go back to it.

[@eleanorwilson7044]

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to season 1, episode 7 of my weekly apartment cleaning. Today I'll only be cleaning my bedroom since I'm sick, which I wouldn't have even bothered to do if it weren't for your podcast Edit: I'm done, I'm going to listen to the rest while being lazy now, thanks again !

[@gigi-vt6oh]

Good luck with cleaning ur apartment man you got this

[@SabLamP]

Damn I wait for this comment like I wait for this podcast lol

[@plum.preserves]

happy cleaning!! hope you feel better soon eleanor!

[@T.Florenz]

Wishing your immune system strength!! 💪

[@DrAtomics]

Not the hero we needed, but the hero we wanted!

[@nofro311]

ryan sitting around with sticky note stuck to bottom of shoe has all my attention lol

[@watchersleuth]

"Shane hold this L" lolll

[@michelledulin7214]

Now I can't look anywhere else.

[@nofro311]

@watchersleuth yea it happened rt after I posted 🤣

[@nofro311]

@michelledulin7214 hahaha your welcome!🤣

[@JessicaGuzman-u1d]

This podcast is so fun. All Matt had to do is spray them with water from a spray bottle if they take too long on one topic or stray too far from the question.

[@emilee823]

13:09 love a Garrett watts mention!! He needs to be on the pod!!!

[@BanHanBread]

I like hearing A LITTLE basketball talk cause it's mostly just Steven and ryan talking about something they both enjoy and that is entertaining

[@kristycargile6917]

I have SO MUCH appreciation for the opportunity to see Matt, finally!! Thanks for the sucknado footage! 🤘

[@emilee823]

21:33 as someone who doesn't really care about sports either, I ONLY find this interesting because Ryan said "Is he gonna call him dad on the court? That's gotta be weird in a professional setting" and I can attest. Not the NBA obviously, but at my job, one of my coworkers is the area director's son. And yes, it is weird to hear an adult coworker call another worker mom, let alone your boss. I imagine being on the same job level would be even weirder

[@sarahvnyc]

I got hired to work at a family business straight out of college, except no one told me it was a family business. Weeks went by and I thought that this one guy had a really bad attitude towards the CEO, he had zero respect for her and talked to her so much more rudely than everyone else and it was just SO weird. I could not get a read on the situation for the life of me. And she always let it fly and acted like he was such a valuable employee with great ideas (spoiler: he was not). And then finally one day I heard him call her "Mom". They had different last names and he didn't seem very fond of her so it had never crossed my mind. Real WTF moment to have two people you've been working with for weeks not even mention they're mother and son.

[@0Voyd]

I feel like 'Pops' has a better chance of having been used previously on a court, mostly to try and mock an older competitor.

[@limlaughlove]

So while I'm not particularly interested in the sports talk myself, I also don't think it's fair to hard ban sports talk or treat it like it's uniquely boring, and I generally don't think it's a good idea to try too hard to predict what your audience will or won't enjoy, when I'm more interested in seeing if you can entertain each other. So I'm all for Ryan and Steven making periodic attempts to interest Shane in various aspects of sports talk and if it sticks, it sticks - same as any other topic.

[@lbjcb5]

Well said

[@DrDeadsy42]

Since you asked: I cared even less about the father-son Basketball game than Shane, but I DID like Shane's reaction to the impressive news. Edit: Cheers to Matt's facial tribute to Groucho Marx.

[@viradechtis]

I dont know what I expected Matt too look like, but a Luigi version of Eddy Burback was not on my list XD

[@gretl01]

🤣

[@Dreambunny.mp4]

A LUIGI VERSION

[@meganashlea]

😂

[@kmlameattempt]

I'm so excited for Weird Wonderful World! That series was one of my favorite things that you guys have ever made and I really look forward to new episodes!

[@kristycargile6917]

Also, can we talk about the dynamic that Shane and Matt share? Can we get a podcast where these two talk about pop culture from their childhood?

[@theletstalkhorrorchannel]

If I don’t hear someone shout “it’s twister time and I’m gonna get sucked” when I watch the movie it’s a wasted trip😂

[@zoewagner4041]

Put some respect on Ken Griffey and Ken Griffey Jr on the 90-91 Mariners

[@watcherpodcasts]

OH SHIT! You right. First father son NBA duo* - Ryan

[@jennifermorgan5400]

As soon as Ryan said he was obsessed with this Italian pop song I thought “oh it must be Sara Perche Ti Amo” and I got so excited when it was! I live in Italy and it’s my favorite song in Italian music (in fact I want it to be the First Dance song at my wedding one day). I think it would also be really popular in the US if more Americans discovered it so thank you Ryan.

[@gretadecesare5413]

Sarà Perché Ti Amo was released in 1981 by the group I Ricchi E Poveri. You will hear it sung flash mob style by everyone when you go to Italy. Even during outdoor summer dance parties by those that weren’t even born when the song was released. Everyone sings it with gusto. It’s a sight to see.

[@jessicabourne3399]

ive never heard the term suck tube and ive never heard it said more that 15 times until now

[@B.tchhhhItsLilith]

I'm not a fan of sports myself. BUT I absolutely love hearing someone talk so passionately about a subject they are interested in. Sometimes those types of convos let you look at their interests through their eyes and you'd get a whole new outlook on it. So thanks for always sharing your interests!

[@Nikki-tx6kh]

I do know know the Sara perche ti amo song. It means "It's because I love you." It's a kinda old song, from Ricchi e Poveri in 1981. It can be a new cover by someone else tho. It's a Classic and Italian Classics get covered ad nauseum. I think I ever know a Spanish version.

[@Nikki-tx6kh]

Also, if you want Italian Music Recs, give me a nod. I can talk for hours about Italian Music, it's my favourite.

[@nnneeeiiidddaaa]

Steven's scream after the Suck Tube announcement was entirely necessary

[@HannahKane]

Cryptid section is making me nostalgic for my guy Gigantopithecus

[@TML]

I can no longer hear the OP/ED song without Shane's additions

[@iLoveMalikToo]

Matt face reveal

[@mandynameless]

I don't mind sports talk! One thing though, Ryan was wrong about Lebron and his son being the first father son duo in sports. In basketball? Sure. But Gordie Howe played on the same NHL team as his sons Mark and Marty!

[@agrownupkid]

How about the Griffey's in baseball. C'mon Ryan, c'mon!

[@brierekitt1688]

Brie here, I enjoy the nickname Brie Brie, Breezy (maiden name started with Z so it’s extra fitting), and Febreezy. When I introduced myself to people, they usually respond with, “what, Marie?” And I say, “no, Brie, like the cheese.” It’s literally constantly as I’m a nurse and have to introduce myself to patients and families daily. It’s the most exhausting uncommon name! I really enjoyed hearing you guys discuss it! Thanks for the laugh! 😁

[@madhu4640]

Man I can’t wait for weird wonderful 😭😭

[@bitesizedragon]

The first episode is the best WW&/orW yet. Definitely my favorite!

[@madhu4640]

@@bitesizedragon really!? Oh my gosh I’m so hyped… I’ve heard similar things about Ghost files

[@loladupin6318]

F**CK YEAH!!!!! STEVEN ON WWW !!!!!!!!!

[@JENinthePM]

The Equus Giganteus could possibly qualify as a cryptid since its existence is only theorized based off the discovery of a single tooth. Horses actually started out very small. The oldest ancestor, the Eohippus was the size of a dog or fox. I chose the Eohippus as the subject of a middle-school paper because I was instantly fascinated with the idea of a horse that was small enough to keep in an apartment. #RecoveringHorseGirl

[@nicholasschliesman9011]

The Griffeys not only played together but also hit back to back homeruns.

[@gr33ngirlsea]

We love them in Seattle!!!

[@Thebogeybro]

They don't know much outside of thier little la bubbles

[@blackjackedgy]

Classic Garrett camera work 😂

[@AntoinettexKitten]

About the matches. I grew up with a girl whose grandpa collected naughty novelty items. He had a matchbook where you opened it and the folded part was a woman's legs and the striker was her hooha

[@pomeloiki]

Honestly I don't care for sports but Ryan and Steven talking about it is interesting so if you can translate it for non-sports people I think it would be a fun segment. I really love the www updates and what's coming. I also think the novelty of user-submitted questions might get old after a while so I think it would be more interesting if the hosts talked about what they want to talk about first and then bring one or two questions from the audience. Or do one week where they talk about what they want to talk and the other would be entirely user submitted questions or something.

[@LadyWoot]

I also want to say pls invite Garrett on the pod. I watched him on fya and i enjoy how his particular brand in lacking focus matches Ryan's

[@LadyWoot]

I think every member of the pod watcher team should feel emboldened and validated to bring up topics of interest. Its a pod made by all 3 members; theres no reason on earth to populate it all with safe quirky, hipster topics just because its somehow "uncool" to talk sports in creative circles. Im not into sports but i did think it was objectively interesting to learn that not only does Lebron have a son but that theres no rule in basketball saying a father and son cant play on the same team. Its an unprecedented event, that's for sure

[@gretl01]

Agreed!

[@heyimsasa]

40:25 ryan doing this is both horrifying and hilarious yet so on-brand 🤣🤣

[@johnmoreland6089]

Absolutely hilarious! 😂

[@bubbe4209]

I'm so excited to watch WWW again! 21:25 I vote for you two to keep slowly bringing up sports on the pod until it turns into a sports pod and Shane's spirit is crushed!!! (but talk about REAL sports, like football, please. basketball sucks) 40:30 CRYING. YELLING. 50:30 Shane is so knowledgeable about animals' penises. I'd love to hear more about this subject on podwatcher!!!

[@bearded_snorlax]

There's definitely a connotation with the word "buddy" where it really feels condescending sometimes

[@cubbybunny23]

I have a lot of people who just call me Omi, which is much better than when people say, "Do you know if you say your name backwards, it's I moan 😉."

[@carmelcity9527]

Idk much about sportsball but I enjoy listening to them talk about it!

[@cocotollini2081]

If it has the restaurant logo on it, you can probably take it. But every restaurant I worked at, we had to buy our own pens so don’t take a server’s pens! Especially if it’s a nice one!!!

[@GG-ke4no]

i dont mind sports talk i like seeing shane get gradually more and more bored and i like when you all talk about what you like ☝🏼

[@theplague13]

I don’t care for sports ar all but its nice to hear Steven and Ryan be enthusiastic about it.

[@ImekaSF]

I immediately thought of the Childish Gambino video when that question came up. That video has definitely stuck with me.

[@michellemarlin1424]

Speaking of animals you see that are crazy. If you let bugs land on you outside I guarantee you will see new ones you’ve never seen in your life and be blown away. I’m 26 and have seen so many this summer that I’ve never seen

[@carlaross8165]

Tapirs are a good example of a prehistoric creature that exists today!! They look like lil weird Star Wars creatures.

[@flowerfloc]

my fave music video lately is probably top 10 statues that cried blood by bring me the horizon!! its a piece of art

[@CherCow92]

Shane's lack of interest in the father son sports thing is FELT lmao

[@abigailshapley]

I cannot stress enough how much EFFORT is put in to kpop music videos and how beautifully shot and produced they are, definitely recommend watching skz bc the music videos are wild and they also post the behind the scenes for recording the songs and shooting the videos, other groups probably do the same so… definitely cannot recommend it enough

[@Dkclyrd]

I like Ryan translating sports news for me to understand

[@SmurfBambi]

I'm not a sports person and don't normally care about sports news or celebrity gossip.... but a father and son both playing on a professional team at the same time is pretty interesting! I would only be able to talk about it for like 2 minutes though 😅 definitely wouldn't be getting excited about it, more like just mildly acknowledging that it's cool.

[@kaziiqbal7257]

Speaking of matchboxes, most smoke shops give you a shit ton and smoke shops that know you give you even more.

[@gauchegreyhound]

I found it mildly interesting even though I don't care about sports. Knowing how young most sports players age out of sports, it IS wild to play on the same pro team as your child.

[@heathervanpelt7981]

My favorite 2 nicknames: Heavy (that one took me a while to get into, but I love it) and H-bomb.

I have zero interest in LaBron and his son being on the same team. I'm very invested in how important it was to Ryan and Steven. I'm here for that. (edited to spell LaBron correctly)

[@manishasahoo9446]

googled what 4dx was after shane mentioned it in the episode a couple weeks and saw that the very last show for lord of the rings return of the king in 4dx was that night, it was the greatest thing ive ever experienced and now i’m only ever going to watch movies in 4dx. thanks for ruining my life

[@danipickard4612]

21:27 I couldn't care less about sports but I do appreciate father-son bonding

[@alliekemper422]

I like any convo where Steven gets more involved, so the sports talk is fun!

[@SaraJoCreative]

I enjoy the sports talk so no worries there. I enjoy all your "topics"

[@marihoodwink]

Im not a sport person but I don't mind other people talking about sports. I thought the news was kinda cool tho. Also, if you were going to do audience questions again, pls go through them before the episode starts. They were so many boring and repetitive questions on the patreon. I just fast forwarded through them after a while cuz the "what cookie would you be" questions were so annoying

[@isha4591]

omg y'all like Sabrina too! loved her since 2018 when she released paris and i'm so happy she's getting the traction as an attist she deserves. also YES the please please please music video is so good i've missed cinematic music videos

[@gamberlane]

Don't care about sports talk! It does however, remind me of when I worked at an on-line school that was k-12 and we had a mother and daughter both enrolled. Senior and kindergarten.

[@msiaregodz]

When they asked Shane what was the last iconic music video made I thought "this is America" ...and when Shane said the same thing, I lost it!!!

[@devereauxrobinson-presani]

Ryan - Talking about basketball stuff Me - More interested in the Post-It note stuck to his shoe LOL

[@DollyX]

Best part was seeing Matt!

[@annachoi1590]

It's maybe not the most recent but in terms of iconic...I feel like Gangnam Style was ubiquitous, and more importantly, still is. Even if you don't listen to kpop, you probably know the dance from the video, versus other recent videos which may be iconic but I don't know if the imagery/dancing would be instantly memorable for a large swathe of the population.

[@Brvce.wayn3]

I can testify, y’all did gang up on Shane

[@Kyle_Leinen]

More sports talk please. Typical Shane trying to hard ban sports talk but we still have to listen to his weekly Lazy Acres trip.

[@kitathy]

MATT IS HOT. I KNEW IT!! lmao

[@isha4591]

on the topic of good music videos, almost all of katy perrys teenage dream music videos would like feed into eachother. like wide awake began with the filming of California girls and then ended with teenage dream (the song). i loved figuring that out when i first watched it

[@violetann822]

I was so upset when I seen negative videos about them a couple months ago, mostly because I've been around since they started and I have LOVED seeing them grow they're company etc.. that's the point of it right. We wanted to see them get bigger, we wanted them to succeed. And now people are mad they did claiming greed?? Okay

[@johnmoreland6089]

I'm with Shane on the LeBron & son story. I get why sports fans would care a lot, but to me it was of no interest or consequence. I have no issue when people bring things up like that because they thought I"d be interested and I wouldn't tell them I didn't find it interesting unless pressed about it. To me it's unkind and a bit pretentious to say "I'm not interested in that."
