What’s your favorite flavor of pie? (If you like pie that is)

[@traviscollins83]

Listening to this at work and Ten going "if me and my friends saw badge we'd kill him with hammers" made me ugly laugh

[@traviscollins83]

I'm also excited for the new Badge E621 tag

[@KarmikCykle]

The phrase "Yassified Badge dying in a glue trap" has been echoing in my head for the past 24 hours since I listened to this the first time.

[@robby6382]

Billy and Mandy are two people I love to see together. Wait..

[@HiddenEvilStudios]

Looking pretty grim...

[@kalo_vera]

Brendan is absolutely Grim in this scenario

[@tentativegazer]

Lol Brendan already made that joke on the uninvited episode and yes he was grim

Brendan, being both terrified of clowns and down bad for clussy is the kind of mood that I seek to exuberate.

[@themysteriousstrangerthatd8508]

The fear adds to the sexual adrenaline

[@GmodPlusWoW]

That activated an ancient memory of a TF2 fancomic. Spy says "do you know what comes between sex and fear?", because people were shipping Sniper and Spy for some reason, and the Medic gets between them and shouts "FUNF". Because the way German numbers are spelt, four five and six translate to vier funf und sechs. If you want to learn how to count from one to eight in German, listen to the chorus of Rammstein's "Sonne". And if you want to see Snow White get high off of gold dust, watch the music video.

[@unkillablesheep]

I posit that every pondering episode should include Planning Some Tactics™, wherein the hosts come up with a plan to beat up the monster of the episode

[@Tencelas]

“I’m 6’7” right now” was an amazing joke and nobody even responded to it.

[@tenwebbs2489]

I don't even remember when or why I said this but I know it was a total banger

[@GmodPlusWoW]

So Dimitri is basically Doctor Vink, but as a 6'4" grizzly bear. Good to know. (I still think he should be on an episode some time, since he's probably got a bunch of stories to tell alongside Mandy) Also, Jojo Crimson Clown is such a powerful image. Even though King Crimson made time skip, while turning back time was Killer Queen's shtick after eating the Arrow.

[@ubermaster134]

Important feature. He's 6'4" in ALL directions

[@EdShear_em]

Wow! Mandy releases his video on Bone Totem, I watch it, and immediately see a new PST featuring him. The timing is impeccable, gents!

[@GmodPlusWoW]

I was eatin' GOOD today. Especially since Cody of AlternateHistoryHub released a video on the film 300. And also there was an episode of Now in the 90s, but that happens pretty much every Friday.

[@Revan058]

​​@@GmodPlusWoWWait, shit, there's a new vid up on Pointless Hub too?! Hot damn! With the Pacific Rim one being so recent I wouldn't have checked that channel for another month or so! Those videos can take a while. Which, understandable, they're a side gig, but I love'm more then his althist stuff. Thanks a lot, my guy.

I always found the Zeebo episode kinda weird due to how reasonable he is. He just wants his nose back.

[@GmodPlusWoW]

"Comin' in Mister Brave Young Lad?" Yeah, I remember that episode from when JonTron covered it. This was back before Jon came out as a fascist.

[@inquisitorowl5215]

@@GmodPlusWoW >came out as a fascist ??????? I can understand calling him racist, but a fascist? Really?

[@GmodPlusWoW]

@@inquisitorowl5215 Racism and fascism go hand-in-hand. Ergo, you don't do the foolish thing by pulling punches. I don't pull punches with fascists, and neither should anyone.

A quick and easy way to find where stuff aired in Québec, if it aired here at all: If it was on Nickelodeon, it aired on Canal Famille/Vrak. If it was on Cartoon Network, it aired on Télétoon. "Fun" fact, Vrak is scheduled to go off the air this year in October 2023, while Télétoon was taken off the air this past March.

[@PleaseStopTalkingPodcast]

Ooh good to know!

[@RMD00]

"Grandpa's Big Bucket of Caltrops" is a fucking thing I never knew I would enjoy to hear.

[@Comkill117]

To build on to the Alison Court thing, she was Claire Redfield’s original voice in the games starting with RE2 on PS1, and voiced her in the games and animated movies until sometime before RE Revelations 2 had a new actress for the character. She was also the one who named the Maverick in MegaMan X5 after Guns N Roses, so we have her to thank for the greatest character name ever: *Duff McWhalen.* Also I think there was another member of Yoda’s species in Knight of the Old Republic who also talked totally normal, meaning Yoda is for sure doing a bit.

[@RipOffProductionsLLC]

Clair Redfield's voice changed in Revolations 2.

[@Comkill117]

@@RipOffProductionsLLCOh alright I didn’t know that (haven’t played the Revelations games yet), I’ll edit this. Thanks for the correction.

46:19 a touhou character can officially beat badge

[@xFantasyAddicxt]

How the hell is there not a metric fuck ton of fanart of all kinds of Badge. Also trans masc Badge is the first thing I thought of when Brendan said "Vag for Badge" and I can't unthink it now.

Billy's brainrot is getting worse. Somebody stop him before the boys are forced to watch the twilight films

Brendan referencing Dracula Flow was unexpected yet totally in character.

[@Juanfcilantro]

gotta set a calendar reminder for a week from now for the yassified badge

[@hokeypoke557]

Mandy suddenly talking about getting in trouble trying to join the goosebumps fan club (58:47) sounded like he was giving confession at church, the way it kind of jumps out of him

[@kalo_vera]

14:06 Brendan just described Mandom from part 7 But now it's Clowndom

[@Taitosalad]

26:27 Someone needs to cast him in a movie that focuses on a vampire cop and it’s like Samurai cop or Kung fury. When night falls and the darkness of under world comes out, he’s on the prowl, Vampire cop!

[@steelgriffin7716]

OH GOD. You were in Wildwood? Billy... Billy, I am *so sorry.*

Does anyone remember the vaccination nurse hunting down a kid and then apologizing when she learns the kids diabetic or something

[@janinecat1865]

Shocked about the big comfy couch revelations. I was looking up that exact information vis a vis her and resident evil last September. Clownish synchronicity, Jill sandwich.

[@mindwipe8788]

Tale of the Midnight Madness, will always be my favorite episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark, Dr. Vink is my favorite reoccurring character for that show as well.

[@JoshSweetvale]

26:20 Cristopher Heyerdahl was Todd the friendly Wraith from Stargate Atlantis. A *space* vampire. The man is EXTREMELY typecast. He also played a vampire-empowered teleporter in Amanda Tapping's Sanctuary series (SCP but friendly, in the early 2010s). And there he played Big Guy, a Neanderthal. That's it. That's the one not-vampire starring role. :P I know this because I decided to give Sanctuary a chance 'cuz Amanda Tapping's a damn good actress, and around the same time I got into TvTropes.

[@Tencelas]

Billy the reason why there’s a lot of media about women inheriting a power from their mom or grandma is because of PERIODS

[@jacobbohl192]

Yo, I meed to know if this a hazy memory, or a terrible nightmare; is there an episode of this show where some kids wind up on this weird game-show staffed by faceless putty-goons, and every time a kid loses a round, their soul gets trapped in the game, and eventually the last kid or two just try and make a break for it, but cannot find an exit?

[@furfixer]

27:28 holy shit I knew I recognized him

[@captainkaiju2273]

My favorite bit of trivia with this show is one of the kids from the first season was later cast as the actor for Solo Wing Pixy in the live action sequences for Ace Combat Zero. Hey Buddy, still alive?

[@cuthailon]

"Twilight is art"...ah yes the series with a 100 year old man stalking teenage girls and a pedowolf....art...

[@nickkennedy9034]

In defense of Brenden and the big and round joke. It is really funny and it being a meme was used to ritualistically bully a prominent far right furry into further obscurity.

[@AnUtterSimpleton]

I've watched most of these spooky tapes, even re-watched a few. I still have zero understanding about how the cool or art gauge works.

[@d_ngltron]

Hey, what happened to PST on Google Podcasts? I get that I can watch it here and all, but why are all but 2 episodes gone?

[@PleaseStopTalkingPodcast]

We're currently switching hosts and have been experiencing a lot of technical difficulties but we're talking to Spotify right now to fix these issues.

[@Ruskles06]

When are you releasing Perilous Story Telling?

[@PleaseStopTalkingPodcast]

I've had to deal with unexpected health issues, wedding planning, as well as one of my parents passing away so I've had to delay the show quite a bit. We have a few episodes already edited but I want a bigger backlog as well as more songs made so I'm taking more time composing and recording episodes.
