I agree with Eef: sunday night is the worst. As someone with severe anxiety, the sheer fear of starting a new week is unbearable.

[@taragoudie5989]

here in canada a lot of Gov jobs have sunday and /or monday off.

[@wolfiemuse]

As someone who works a normal but slightly labor intensive 7:30 - 4pm - Tuesdays are the worst. People disliking Monday is a state of mind that, once you get older and start to appreciate what little extra sleep you get on the weekends, is easy to get over. Monday isn’t that bad. Tuesday you’re right in the middle of the week and you didn’t sleep well from the night before, you’re stuck. Just my thoughts. Yesterday dragged for me

[@daeundances]

in general, yesterdays drag🥲

[@AugustTheStag]

Eef and Alanah have a ton of chemistry. They should do collabs more often!

[@MarySunshine25]

Didn't they have another podcast together? They are super fun to watch together. You can tell all 3 of them are just having fun talking.

My ears are in heaven, Irish accent, Australian accent and Ethan with his silliness accent ❤

[@kalltdalfred]

Thank you Sean and Ethan for blessing us with another in person episode. I will cherish it forever

[@TeKett]

On Monday you are refreshed from the weekend ready to take on the week, on Tuesday reality slaps you saying its still 4 days left until the weekend.

[@rayncloud99]

Sean looks marvelous with his hair put up and that sweater! 😍

[@rayncloud99]

Also not Sean saying "if you like Thursdays you should go to therapy" when that's literally the day I visit my therapist and it's my favorite because of that. 🤣

[@ParkerDenae]

I've said this for years. Tuesday is the worst day of the week. Yes Monday sucks but it's the start of a new week, fresh start. Tuesday, you just have to get up and do it all again and it's not even the middle of the week. Tuesday is the most hopeless day lmao

[@AbBeiBei526]

Alanah is GLOWING 👏👏

[@theyounggamer3315]

It feels like this one just flew by. It's similar to when I'm hanging out with friends and am very surprised to see two hours have passed and we've just been talking the entire time. Good vibes.

[@toyfreaks]

Fun fact: BOUNTY bars in the US are called Mounds for some bizarre legal reason... like the company that got the license to make them in the UK figured "Hey, we're only paying to use the name, and you just GAVE us the recipe. How about we make 'your' candy bars but just call them something else and not pay you anymore?"

[@MikeJF85]

It's the same feeling as when you hear an Aussie accent on an American TV show and your brain takes a moment to reset because it's in the wrong world! That's how things sound At Home, not On TV!

[@bethconner5419]

Yup, hear you there bud. I do LOVE hearing when an Australian just talks like an Australian in their normal voice, not the over-the-top nasally drawl.

[@Kimshu6]

I'm like that when I hear my gf do her Canadian accent. Like, she mostly consumes American content and talks to Americans so her accent is mostly gone, but it can occasionally come out cause she's mad at something or talking fast or just cause it makes me laugh and it always takes a second to realize what she said and then giggle about it a little.

[@MonochromeMochi]

That always happens when I talk to people IRL from the US and sometimes the UK. I'm South African and most of our TV is American, and some British. I've associated "TV Land," with American accents so much, that hearing American accents in person always makes me do a double take. Its like my brain can't understand that they exist/I need to respond to them lmao.

19:20 this is a hilarious concept and should 100% be a thing the boys do with guests and each other kind of like an improv thing lolol

[@Barnaacle]

ethan was talking out sundays because of the SMONDAY feeling which is where on Sunday in the middle of the afternoon you suddenly realise its Monday the next day and it ruins the rest of your day.

[@clzs325]

For those wondering- Water - the mostly clear, whitish liquid in the middle Meat - the white solids under the shell Shell - the innermost layer of the outer portion that can break cleanly away Husk - the fibrous material outside of the shell, looks and feels like very coarse hair Milk - a combination of coconut water and coconut fat that is pulled out of the coconut meat through a process of grinding, blending, and a low and slow exposure to heat. The coconut oil is also extracted at this time, as it is stored in the meat. If you make coconut milk at home and make it very strong, when it cools you will almost always find somewhere between 1/2tsp and 2tbsp of coconut oil on top of the milk on top of the water once it fully separates. Source: I make milk from 1-3 coconuts for my family every week to be used as a milk substitute, sauce or curry base, or to gather coconut oil to use as a moisturizer because my mom has VERY sensitive rosacea and it doesn't aggravate that

[@sjoerdstougie]

rosacearea?

[@clzs325]

@@sjoerdstougie It's a skin thing. I don't know much about it, but I know it makes her face really red and it feels like anything that touches it is burning her

[@moonblastx1996]

Fucking love Alanah I'm so happy she was here! I hope you guys have the chance to have her on more times in the future. She fits so well into the energy. I watch most of her stuff because her opinion is always so informed and interesting, but she's not boring, she's fun and cool

[@heath6802]

My family does a Sunday roast and I’m in the US, it’s mostly just a vehicle (excuse is not the right word) for my grandfather who lives alone to come on over and be with us, plus we give him a bunch leftover and things we’ve gotten at the store so he doesn’t need to cook much for himself. He’s a very stubborn 83 year old man who refuses any sort of option we give him to not live all by himself like half an hour from our home. Even living in the same neighborhood as us, shot down like a clay pigeon! So we have Sunday roast, but it’s a lot of soft and easy to eat food, specifically for Gramps

[@HomerSlimeMachine]

When they were talking about worst days, I used to think Tuesday, but now I think Monday and Wednesday and here's why. So job wise I've never had a consistent schedule except one job, so my days off were sparatic. But as a student in college I've always had the most classes on those days. Friday I liked it and hated it since I only had one class so I'd slack off more when I should have studied, but sometimes the rest was nice. Tuesday and Thursday while the classes were later and longer, those classes were always my favorite subject so...and the weekends even if I worked I loved them especially when I got a chiller job. Also I didn't like Wednesday because I'm thinking "I'm so close to Friday hurry up!"

[@kianaj671]

Alanah vibes really nicely with you guys - love it 👌

[@LivS007]

just bought the harrys trial set for my dad because of this episode! great last minute christmas present thanks for the idea

[@in-craig-ible6160]

Excellent guest guys. Thanks Alannah for being on the show!

[@larissamobley1609]

Tuesday is 'Second Monday', and adding ANOTHER Monday onto the week makes it the worst day of the week. That is how Ethan should have explained it to Sean. Haha The yogurt drink was called Little Tricksters, that's why they had it in Ireland. 🤣😜

[@kierrabeyer3780]

2:53am. thank you i needed this

[@hellkat6740]

Anytime my friends and I get together, we do karaoke. It is 100% just getting drunk, singing random songs we like, and talking over each other about nothing. It's great. Highly recommend.

[@Dark_Samurai92]

Very fun! Loved the three of you, so natural feeling and just all in all wonderful time.

Yes! After 2 days of parents and no routine you just know you're walking into an absolute disaster even the most adjusted kiddo is going to be off, but those Monday hugs always made up for it. They missed you, you missed them. 💜

I'd love to see you guys do collabs with other podcasts and bring on more guests! ❤

[@maironamakesstuff]

Karaoke suggestion: "What's Up" by 4 Non Blondes - that's my go-to and it always gets people singing along! It works pretty well as an ice breaker to get people hype if not enough alcohol has been imbibed

@@jamalkjamison214do you understand the concept of being paid for your time?

[@jamalkjamison214]

@siobhan-rae yeah, makin millions off videos, ads, and podcasts, and nothing interesting has been done. Even with all ideas, they pitch to each other they've done the cheapest, like playing with toys eating cereal and the toepisode. I love the adhd content, but you gotta wonder where all the money is going bc it obviously isn't to a camera person or a real set since most of their content is filmed in their houses. They make a lot of money, and it would be ignorant to believe they aren't getting paid fairly with all of these different streams of revenue coming in. Even if one is gone, they still have plenty to choose from, so I'd be willing to bet that money isn't an issue

I'm SO glad someone finally agrees about the original RE4 controls. Like, imo, your controls shouldn't be bad in order to make a more tense experience. The game's narrative (if it's that good) should be able to do that on its own.

I like to go to the movies for the first date bc I don’t have to talk too much and if they suck then I can leave and if they are cool we have something to talk about afterwards so it’s less awkward small talk but I also have literally so much anxiety so it’s probably just me haha

Unpopular opinion, having a woman with them makes them a lot more enjoyable to listen to!

The advertisement show with some awards hav always been the 3rd Oscars. Besides the disrespect they give to the award winners there isnt even competition. They will have 2 actual good games, surrounded by decent indie games. Tht win must feel great! And where Oscars will have big budget movies. Even the smallest barely watched movie could win whereas Game awards feels like popularity contest.
