Love that the reunion starts with everyone doing a mental health check in, that's exactly how good friends operate

[@skyjoe55]

The age-old debate, is Joey doing a bit or has something gone wrong

[@lisagraff-sands4207]

Since the dawn of starkid livestream...

[@hililly3219]

I literally thought that brosenthal‘s mustache was a fake and that he was going to take it off in like the first five minutes and then I realized that it is real...

[@miles2593]

[@LosTrilocos]

Best part was Joe saying he doesn't know the purpose of his studies and then freezing and everybody thinking he's joking but then disconnecting because his internet died

[@frejabdskov9437]

joe walker dies

0:41 Lauren and joey absolutely losing it over joe being muted 1:07:45 ‘four of us are Jewish so it’s ok’ 1:15:35 Clark is absolutely losing it over joes camera glitching it’s pretty funny

Joey looks more like Grunt than Owen

[@loser_geek_weebever2807]

They did some shows in Chicago during firebringer so there were some shows with the grunt beard

‘Oh I wasn’t in the show I’m just here’ yep I connected to that way to much.

[@addienass9092]

Tessa seems to be one of those people who are an introvert but when they get on stage their whole personality changes and they become an extreme extrovert. (it's the same for me)

[@ariel683]

I love how the first half was just you guys laughing

[@casmourde]

I really needed that political/self care section near the end. Hearing those words from some of the people who I feel create a wonderful community really helped. Living in a terrible household takes its toll, but getting a hopeful yet informed talk from you lovely people helped me feel less alone. Thank you all!

[@zazzalilperkins7357]

cass hope you’re doing ok! living in a bad place isn’t great, but stay strong!

[@red.gem_]

HSHHAHAAH I JUST WATCHED A FULL MINUTE OF THE INTROS WITH MY VOLUME OFF THINKING THAT EVERYONE WAS JUST PLAYING ALONG WITH THE "I'M MUTED JOKE" BAAHHAHAHA

[@lc2341]

*kiss all corners of your screen* Joe: 👁️👅👁️

[@headofathousandsheepswool]

The 'they taught me how to kill' thing is so funny because that's literally what happens in every musical. My group and I do shit like that all the time.

[@geniehossain3738]

Even the most small and inane things are funny when you’re sweating your ass off backstage and are both sleep/food deprived 😂

[@banana_bread_18]

I started crying when tessa said those amazing things about the trans and nonbinary community. It just feels so good to be seen and appreciated by people, especially with all the hate going on.

[@hannatara02]

51:05 "Do you mean" Lauren and Joey laughing will always make me smile :-)

[@aoifefaithmaplesden7559]

Haha, when Curt said the gun fell out, it reminded me of doing Spring Awakening, last year. My friend was playing Moritz, and, for Don’t Do Sadness, he was climbing on a pile of boxes. And, either his gun fell, or it wasn’t where it should have been, before the scene. So, when we got to his death scene, he had no gun, and just fell backwards without it. My dad said he didn’t notice a thing, and just thought he jumped off a cliff, tho, so, I guess it worked! And, the next night, the gunshot noise didn’t go off.

[@kiki8792]

I've never seen Spring Awakening, so I'm very confused

[@izzie9020]

Lauren said "there's like 4 Jewish people on this team". I know Lauren, Brian and Corey are all Jewish, but who's the fourth? Or was that an approximation and it's only them 3?

[@BFFforu]

I read somewhere that Joe Walker is jewish, too

[@zazzalilperkins7357]

time stamp? Sorry to be annoying lol I’m only half way through watching it

[@zazzalilperkins7357]

1:07:45 nvm I found it haha

[@carterspang5477]

is lauren jewish? i know joey is jewish but i could’ve sworn that in choose our destiny lauren mentioned being raised catholic. that could’ve been a joke tho since cod is a comedy improv show

I bought the book that Esther mentions at 11:30 It Didn’t Start With You about overcoming generational trauma. I’m 6 chapters in and it’s honestly incredible. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a cathartic cry. Thank you all who corrected me re: Esther's pronouns! Fixed.

I will say that each time I hear Joe Walker talk normally I get fucking whiplash because I have to make sure who it is. He always seems to do accents and voices.

[@joruth5997]

i haven't grinned so hard in so long and just thank you all so much. what tessa said especially hit home. you guys are great

[@marls1977]

Having watched the musical only in 2022 and as a German, I feel like you could've made the nazis even more lunatics. Like the idea with the Hitler doll was great but it could've been more over the top or you could've added some historically accurate but completely ridiculous conspiracy theories of the nazis.
