i literally love hearing him talk about things like. he cares so much and i get so interested in everything he says

[@l_shaun_bunds_l]

Daniella Catanzaro his diction is soooo adequately sized and expressed.

@Henry The Cocaine-Sampler both

2:15:46 Fredrik moaning "stop"

[@AlwaysEast]

Thanks a lot, asshole. Now I'm gay.

[@beyblademoses5379]

Thank you 👌

[@JackgarPrime]

I'd give you a like, but its at 69 and that seems very appropriate.

[@Business_Skeleton]

Well there goes the last shred of my heterosexuality. Guess I'm no longer bi

[@colinr0380]

New morning wake up alarm added

[@lifefinder1224]

i swear to god both you’re voices together is like an organism in my ear

[@ekathe85]

That typo is so body horror, I'm assuming you left it as is because it fits so well with the current guest

[@lifefinder1224]

André Breton yeah let’s go with that

[@malice4777]

Seriously could listen to these two read the dictionary.

[@clipclampson]

I'm glad my boi Nick is hanging out with other high quality content creators. When the wise Owl meets the magical Cat.

[@frankmanning3815]

I like Nick. Seems like a genuinely good guy... politics aside.

[@pauline1809]

Hearing you guys say that you like it when people fall asleep to your videos is so nice :) I listen to both you guys videos when my depression gets really bad and they're the only thing that can somehow get me to calm down and res a little when it gets really bad. It honestly means a lot to me that you make these.

[@WebcomicRelief]

Really appreciate the shoutout at 2:19:00! You best believe I spat out my tea when I heard my name being mentioned! Much love to both of you, and what a nice and cozy stream!

[@RaeIsGaee]

!!!! I love your vids man!!! Fred's shout-out to you a year ago introduced me to your content and I'm glad for that!

[@savannahseymour569]

Nick Nocturne’s normal speaking voice makes me think he’s just a quest giving magic Afghan hound

[@raccoononymous]

House of Leaves is a real trip. You really need to read it the whole way through to scratch the surface. I felt tempted to say that the plot falls apart, but it really doesn't; it contradicts itself and seems to lose track, but it's all very intentional and a fascinating narrative experience. It does stuff with the Unreliable Narrator trope that makes Fight Club seem straightforward by comparison.

[@raccoononymous]

@Nyaemal Hrruna What do you have against Zampano? I completely understand hating Johnny.

[@MaxxVelo]

The best Internet Oddity channels on youtube

[@JohnSmith-op3qj]

A collab with Night Mind? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

[@Ryogachik]

When do we get @DeadwingDork on? Thoroughly enjoyed his stream with you 💕

[@jackjohnson379]

I wish I could give you a like for every time you say you don't like mukbangs. I have misophonia and seeing 2 minutes of a mukbang actually makes me feel physically violent.

[@pauline1809]

40:35 I really REALLY do appreciate it when people make the effort to pronounce things right!! It's less about getting it right and more about recognizing that there's more ways to pronounce vowels than just the English way and not just assuming it's fine if they say it the english way. Sometimes you get this feeling that ppl think the English way to pronounce it is actually the right way to do it and that can be kinda frustrating...

[@ekathe85]

I was frustrated at first by parisian waiters replying in english to my humble french. Then I understood that I probably shouldn't try to be practicing the language with people as they are doing their job, especially in a line of work where time is precious :/

[@djla2276]

I might have squealed a little bit out of excitement when I saw that you guys did this collab. I'm a 180 lb man with a thick red beard.

[@darkrai1710]

I couldn't watch it on time and now I'm just listening while working and it works so well

[@whiteslate]

man, Fred really doesn’t like Raid... HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE PVP RPG HD 1080P FOR PEOPLE WITH ADHD?

[@andxx0r_the_second671]

DTRH on Shmorky? YES PLZ I'VE GOT BRAIN BLEACH READY.

[@JFJD]

*David Kelley* is...an interesting person. He’s a decent animator who designed some cute characters that he named “Klurfs”...and then you cue the horror movie music as you begin descending into the madness of his life-his...peculiar sexual preferences, his past relationships, his affected voice... *libera te tutemet ex inferis*

[@VortegatheThird]

Now I really want to know what joke I missed in this year's Cabin Fever Dreams videos....

[@themilkman993]

This has been a weirdly informative stream and the most surprising part is that we’re in the same state and went to the same school; Go Beavs!

[@m0n4d59]

31:06 "I cant stand imperfections in the audio" , seconds later pop/click occurs.

[@INANNAISHERE]

YOU WERE SINGING METAL!!!!!! EXCUSE ME?! but you have such a soothing voice?!

[@danielevarlius]

I am so glad you posted these!

[@ghostybees6322]

OH I REMEMBER WISHBONE! I used to watch it all the time after school, then suddenly one day it just stopped airing.

[@slugworth3111]

I love that you recommended that Yob album. So good.

[@mushmush4980]

This is so relaxing to listen to while drawing

[@raycearcher5794]

You say that about KZbinrs who bag on other KZbinrs, but as an employer I would hire The Right Opinion to any job instantly.

[@pauline1809]

Omg you guys taking bout Limetown and the black tapes is making me SO nostalgic....i recommend wolf 359, too

[@zulioner7880]

Im suprised Spiffin Brit havent busted right through your window and screamed "HELLO THERE! WOULD YOU MIND IF I PRESENT TO YOU THE YORKSHIRE TEA?!

[@Em22-wtf]

Lol, I'm watching in bed and was almost lulled to sleep, probably bc the volume was low... Then next thing I know, I'm jumping a mile high, and Fredrik is yelling at me.... I'm AWAKE, I'm AWAKE!!! Lol!! I think I'll come back when I'm more awake tho! 😁🤣🚫😴

[@JaimieWFYT]

2:45:00 Gigantic DTRH would actually be pretty cool, that story is insane how they got denied at every corner, just to get shut down in the end. Such a fun game too!

[@sweetpotatofries99]

Goddamn, Fred, your metal vocals are good.

[@colerains]

Do you prefer KZbin streaming or twitch?

[@punhos6495]

1:51:57 someone has to told Joel about that Edit: also 2:11:05

[@voxlvalyx]

I relate so much with Nick on the Adult Swim stuff. I was raised by Squidbillies and ATHF.

[@foureyesisafish7968]

Holy shit it’s the crossover of the century

[@andrewmcreynolds3692]

I honestly thought twelve ounce mouse was just a fever dream I had

[@Zelinkokitsune]

Spiffing Brit x Down the Rabbit Hole Crossover when? It'll be a Tea Time that's perfectly balanced and without exploits. Although you might need to drink Yorkshire tea though.

[@clintbeastwood5116]

Yiff your sticky sauce into my drink and call me empress cloud, you furry daddy you. Seriously I'm enjoying these daily podcasts though.

[@glucky9046]

The fact I miss the streams make me sad

[@dahliasdarkside1695]

All Along The Watchtower covered by Jimi Hendrix is another example of a Cover being so profoundly superior to the original

[@dahliasdarkside1695]

@@ChristieBrewster im not part of a jimi hendrix fandom I just like his music. But if that were true why is the Hendrix version the one overwhelmingly used in popculture?

[@jimmynuts7474]

@@dahliasdarkside1695 More popular =/= better when you're discussing an entirely subjective topic like what music is best

[@theevillemon]

I like English Breakfast. It's my fave tea

[@EbolaGranola]

very very late comment, but I heard in this video you said you were considering making a rabbit hole on 'Shmorky.' Is that the creator of Zalgo Shmorky, or am I thinking of a different person? I heard some wacky stuff around them in passing, though nothing definitive beyond something about sexual misconduct.

[@mrpieceofwork]

I would be freak out seeing a former professor in a random video, too. (I had to go rewatch that video)

[@LordJackass]

1:08:07 NO FUCKING WAY!! Star Trek: TNG is my favorite TV series ever to run. They always had a compelling storyline, interesting dilemmas, and an interesting philisophical note that they would leave the viewer to ponder on. "The Drumhead" to me is not only the crowning jewel in the series but the episode to perfectly encapsulate what I feel Star Trek: TNG was about. It showed me that conflict has never and will never be completely clear cut, and it's important to pick out what's genuine and benevolent, and what is decietful malice wrapped in what is supposd to be righteous; and moreover important to know when you're going too far in an act of seeking sincere justice. Jean Luc Picard was insanely wise as a character, he was never afraid of conflict and action, but his brilliance as a character really shone on in the moments he got deep and erudite, or even down to the small hobbies he maintained. So many inspirational lines came from Jean Luc and by extension Sir Patrick Stewart who(to me) will be the only one who can ever breathe life into that character. I could go on and on about the cast as each one of them was memorable in one aspect or another, but I've already taken up a lot of your time reader(thank you btw), so i'll leave you with this.: If you haven't watched it, you're missing out on such an amazing work of writing and art, do yourself a favor, watch it, it's so good.

[@mclatchyt]

DS9 is better, fight me. Jk, TNG is THE best! :D

[@CrystalFier]

Does anybody know what the name of that neo-pagan band was? I tried googling by how it sounded, and got nowhere...

[@sayrus01]

I believe it was Heilung

[@ghostybees6322]

If Fredrik is feeling wild he might break out the Hurdy Gurdy.

[@laughablesaint2856]

papa Knudsen take me to the tea land

[@dragonslaya16]

Noooo my dreams for a killstream video 😭

[@ConcernedAlien]

Lower Decks is my Star Trek, although I don't know if that's the kind of Star Trek show Fred would like.

[@itsjosh9076]

1:30:00 it's midnight and I almost started laughing.

[@Jay-ln1co]

I'm glad I'm not the only one of the opinion about Welcome to Night Vale. I enjoyed the first, say, 24 episodes, but after that it just defecated the sleeping surface. Luckily I found SAYER, which tickled the same itch of a pleasant voice calmly talking fucked up shit into my ear.

[@xxlxllaxtionllxlxx9072]

drink the tea nephew

[@RNJ142]

plz more quarantea

[@mrpieceofwork]

Like in 'Vanilla Sky'... "TECH SUPPORT!!!"

[@demonic.lionfish]

I prefer Port Orford and Oysterville to anywhere else here on the coast, personally. They're both more of a drive than Lincoln or Newport or Cannon Beach, but they're very worth it if you haven't been. (Dunno if you're born and raised here or what, I've been out here in Troutdale for about a decade now.) Real question though: feelings on central and eastern Oregon/the painted hills specifically?

[@prophetOfsnake]

Love the pacific nw, new port is a really cute lil city

[@FMeister94]

[@goosetheboss1655]

The cash for gold joke is from a game jacking attempt from one of Nightminds oldest videos. Pretty sure it was “The Wyoming Incident”

[@patti441]

tea streams have to be once a week or month

[@lcmiracle]

I myself prefer Twinings Peppermint.

[@Grakus105]

2:46:47 uhhh yeah about that...

[@TheNonstopHero]

Fred, I'm actually surprised that you wouldn't entertain doing a video on the Killstream, or at the very least Ethan Ralph. Granted, in light of recent events it's clear that Ralph's story is far from over, but there's plenty of archived content illustrating his cycle of ups and downs

A bizarre combination

[@pauline1809]

oooh you guys probably haven't really l looked into amberlynn reid bc OH BOI DOES IT HAVE A STORY :D her treatment of her girlfriends, the abuse of her pets, the continuing cycle of lying and abusing everyone around her....there's so much more to her than her weight...her whole personality is a story in itself...it's kinda wild i do encourage you to look into it a little, it's definitely a LOT to uncover and i find it hard to imagine to not find it interesting :D

[@Everywhere2]

50 shades of boring

[@wolcamophone4783]

2:08:10 I think Nick might secretly be a fat guy. That's the fat guy laugh if I've ever heard it, where the higher the pitch goes, the raspier their voice gets as well, and you can hear how the air seeps out of the lungs like a wet sack.

[@GoobleGabble]

He looked quite rotund when he appeared (briefly) in the infamous NyxFears livestream.

[@RNJ142]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4iVgauMgZKmgJI Not that fat i think

[@JohnSmith-op3qj]

Compassion is nice, Fred, but word of advice. No good will come out of sympathizing with WingsofRedemption. Not that you're not allowed to of course, just that you stand to lose more than you gain from it. Not to mention that is misplaced sympathy, considering how he lowkey tried to dox you when you talked to him that one time.
