Loved the Bioshock story. I cried completing the second. The one that has 8 different possible endings, depending on what you do from start to finish. It's not judgemental, just shows certain actions on choices made will lead to a different outcome later on. A life-lesson of sorts.

[@frankb5728]

It's a trip seeing Joan of Arcadia shacking up with slow Donnie.

[@terminalmode]

If I know anything at all about David Cross it's his very fond affection for being recognized as the Chicken-Pot-Pie guy.

No dude, that's Fartin' Gary

The only podcast where I DON'T skip through the ads.

[@francieleone]

Theo Von has hilarious ads. Stavros Halkias too.

[@EthanAnthony907]

those two kids are kinda funny@@francieleone

[@kyilmaz2]

Cute David, thanks for letting us into your life and relationship. Fascinating.

[@MangeSoderling]

"Amber Tamblyn lookalikes" made my day, so funny. Love you both!

[@SuperColonel91]

She's the beauty that everyone to look like

[@josephdykes1820]

This is definitely in the top 9 of all the podcasts so far

[@thehubbleton]

Man, he is good with that mic.

[@professorhazard]

Amber looks so much like her father, the adorable Russ Tamblyn. I'm holding out hope to see her as Chocki's progeny in a sequel to Cabin Boy.

[@writersparky]

Loved him in Twin Peaks.

[@ckSport3000]

Awesome pod. Insights into who can deal with David on a daily basis. Great stuff..

[@ktg66]

I would love to see a weekly if not monthly conversation between you both. I think it is so real and applicable to the rest of society.

[@Kayelle315]

Listening to David talk about the "imaginative, singular experiences" of video games that "does not exist anywhere else" reaffirms much of one of my oldest hobbies. Additionally, I 'recently' finished Bioshock (5/23), and while I was extremely late to the party, the writing and world-building stuck with me for some time! Thanks for your thoughts!

[@snadylady]

They’re great and it was a trip to listen to them. One thing, though. I went to an all girls private school and my daughter graduated from an all girls private school. Both 100+ yrs old and neither religiously affiliated. We were both lucky enough to have the (pretty much) opposite experiences of what you described; excellent educations, lifelong friends and an intellectual and social confidence that still drives us today.

[@rhymeswfamous]

This may not be the "BEST" episode of SWO but it is now my favorite. As a father of a 5 yo this was such a relatable conversation.

[@jasoncinema]

Yay! So damn happy for them both. :)

[@MrSparkula]

You can tell that David really loves podcasting.

[@claytronifon]

I love all the calling to Emma to do ridiculous things lol

[@WARdROBEPlaysWWII]

24:47 I love his laughing reading the ad copy.

[@k.c.simonsen2]

I was confused, I didn’t realize they were married until about five minutes into this lol

[@pearljammies]

This was so great.

[@infinidimensionalinfinitie5021]

i have been cravin' to see amber in a format like this.

[@erniehtown5412]

You 2 were great in You Hurt My Feelings.

[@omarsalkamusic]

Loving this podcast. They came together is super funny. Should be better known

[@kvk1]

David Cross being a Life Is Strange fan is comforting af.

[@PanAndScanBuddy]

There's nothing funnier than "Our daughter is Goth and loves terrifying things but is terrified of Wallace and Gromit and the scary vampire bunny" Oh, Amber playing Life is Strange would be so amazing because it's basically in the vein of the kind of shows and movies she did back in the 90s. A lot of that high school drama, girls being friends/enemies, etc. Now there's a KZbin thing to do.

[@anniebell6846]

The Curse of the ware rabbit is scary though

[@crispyrobot77]

Rom-Coms are the main reason Zoloft is prescribed. THANKS LIfetime Channel!

[@12345idiotsluggage]

Content is king. This conversation was way more interesting and entertaining than every CSI episode every made. Combined. Thanks to DC and AT for making it interesting to talk about nothing.

[@allisonwonderland5149]

OMG, yes, about the video games. I've been playing GRIS, and I want to tell people about it. But it does something to my brain that's so hard to describe. That I don't think I can even do it justice.

[@rootvalue]

The journey that sends you on with grief is insane!!!!

[@bukko]

@@rootvalue Speaking of journey, thats another beautiful classic game David also needs to try.

[@robinjensen3092]

Love this podcast. The best

[@jessmartinez539]

What a cozy episode

[@ktg66]

Great podcast! You're so lucky Amber settled on you!

[@Kkidzz]

What a lovely, lovely couple.

[@Teeklin]

Give it up to Emma for somehow keeping the audio mixed right and relatively consistent with the insane number of times they kept moving in and out of the mic. If you do a shot every time David pulls the mic away from his face you'll be dead before the second Last of Us callback joke :P

[@noelgrassy4278]

The whole winter attire thing is very real to me.

[@bukko]

My wife is 12 years younger than I, and I play games / watch sports, and she loves reading. You guys have a srikingly similar vibe to my wife and I, who both work from home and love being around each other, but run out of things to talk about as well. I enjoyed seeing your guys' chemistry and the hand hold at the end was uncanny valley. It felt like us. I also have a gray beard and baseball cap. She wears black and Doc Martens.. I'm not as funny or successful, but I'd settle as being the discount version.

[@bukko]

Also play The Last of Us. It makes you appreciate the show that much more. Love that they stuck so closely to the source material. Anyways thanks again for the episode.

[@TheOldHippiebilly]

What a funny & charming couple! Even their bickering is fucking adorable. 🤣 Love y'all! Love this podcast! ❤✌ 😂❤✌ 😂❤✌ 😂 💙VOTE BLUE💙

[@testing1-2three]

DO IT JEANEANE!!!!🦋

[@Ultratoast01]

The noise David makes at the suggestion that Withnail and I is a romcom is the definition of 'Tell me you disagree without telling me you disagree.' 😂

[@MrDevival]

Withnail and I is absolutely a romcom, greatest of all time

[@johnmavroudis2054]

GREAT Rom Coms: "AMELIE," "STRANGER THAN FICTION," (not as much com... but some)., "THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER." You're welcome. ALSO: I've had to sit and watch some of the HALLMARK juggernaut channel... because my mom watches ONLY that channel. There's EIGHT BILLION Christmas films that are all the same. It's SOOOOOOO ripe for satire... but it satirizes itself as well as anyone else could. DAVID: You've GOT to do: "CHRISTMAS IN HALLMARK TOWN". I'd pay to watch that, for sure.

[@jameslacroix8106]

Enjoyed the talk with Amber! Would be cool to see Eric Bachmann on your podcast!

[@NeverForgiveAction]

Ads were fucking hilarious

[@ZoSoDragon1]

This is actually the 3rd funniest one so far!

[@AltusNoumena]

Bob then Joe?

[@brownbananabooks]

THEY CAME TOGETHER fuckin' rocks.

[@TheMattsterling]

I always wondered what The Hulk did with his pants after a transformation.

Any chance of David being on my other favorite Headgum show the Dough Boys?

i feel like i stumbled into a brooklyn coffee shop after school drop off in Carrol Gardens.

David, you should check out the game "What Remains of Edith Finch". Another great game that sticks with you long after you finish it.

[@professorhazard]

He should also play The Last of Us. No, wait, he already played it.

[@laurentaylor3951]

I loved her so much in Y The Last Man. Great show. What happened to those Traveling Pants?

[@DanLoFat]

Well I think Bob heil would agree with your assessment about microphone technique and respect of microphones.

[@gloria4611]

The only thing needed at the end of every ad, is a block #Teamocil

[@adeadcrab]

prey is maybe my favourite computer game

[@AltusNoumena]

Was stoked when he mentioned it. It's the game that got me back into games after 20 years

[@Foderick]

When people ask me what games i have played i also answer 'sega'

[@mediaikonz]

God she was great in Y The Last Man. Sucks shit that it got cancelled.

Are we back to place in Comedy where we can say, "Cross, those jeans... no!" again? Did you rip them yourself? They use lasers to do that stuff these days. Amber is awesome (House was my introduction point).

[@reubenyebra4002]

This was actually funny ....I'm 42 years old by the way

[@plasticweapon]

okay.

What are you..lighting firecrackers in your pockets? Those wylie coyote jeans suck. Amber was awesome.

[@TheAgeOfAnalog]

Dammit, Mauled by Coyotes was going to be my new band name.

[@discopants68]

Dave should lose his Mikey for drinking from a plastic cup full of ice.

[@mitchkroener]

I can’t figure out if the ads are real or satire. Especially “Mosh”. Ironically, the fact that DC delivers them so straight makes me think they’re a joke. Also, the “women’s brain health” institute sounds a bit suspect or maybe it’s just oddly named?

[@WarrenFahyAuthor]

You GUYS!? Ha ha hah?!

[@davidrichman9779]

appreciating the election talk. I am in Pennsylvania a lot and i just don't see how Trump wins it right now. So many areas are getting bluer and the unpopulated parts that aren't don't have many votes.

[@plasticweapon]

he may not win pennsylvania, but he'll win the election.

[@brynot]

David set himself up for this, whenever they start talking about parenting and how cute their daughter is - I feel they're regaling us with these wonderful, long-winded, boring stories of banal minutiae that their kid did. Anyone else?

[@oldtanellesses]

David really needs some new jeans.

[@JosephScott-ct9sw]

I wear (seriously) a trucker cap, a hoodie half zipped up, and torn jeans. I didn't realize Cross was as cool as me.
