[@loganmerrifield3654]

I relate to his comment at the beginning about summer and your mom giving you one objective so much, and now we have NL to distract us from the chicken 😂

[@mico6155]

Podcast recommendation that I truly think you'd enjoy: No Such Thing as a Fish. It's a podcast by the researchers behind the British panel show QI, where they each present their favourite fun fact they've come across that week. It's a great mix of humour and obscure knowledge. Also there's no barrier of entry even if they've done almost 400 episodes, you can jump in wherever or listen to any episode at any point.

[@NUKEYOURASS]

I was going to recommend the same thing, it hits all the marks he mentioned.

[@darklord_zeref]

Can’t believe NL tried to report a kid for playing the worst character in the game

[@hostis1922]

Hey Northernlion. Greetings from Germany! I just wanted to say for the first time ever that I am really thankful for your videos! I am following you know for over 8 years and you been there through my lowest and highest moments. You can't imagine how many times you pulled me out off the deepest mud. So THANK YOU!!! Stay yourself and continue the good work!

[@xxsimproxx5601]

I was unreasonably pleased he remembered to take Dunce Cap. Also, one of the rare times that Lokis Horns is a huge enabler with Tech Zero.

[@XVX..]

NL- Damocles would have been a really good pickup since you already had Lazarus rags. It's free real estate!

[@alphax-shroom6781]

Plus prayer card to fall on post revive, IF he even needed it.

[@1BlueYoshi]

So I don't play MOBAs, but based on NL's advice it seems that when playing you should: 1. Log off when you're in a good mood while playing one. And 2. Log off when you're in a bad mood while playing one. It seems like the takeaway here is to always log off when playing MOBAs lol

[@imptwins]

NL I was so absolutely vexed, so INFURIATED that you skipped dunce cap, you fool, you egg, you had tractor beam and it would have been a completely free double damage upgrade with no downside at all

[@imptwins]

oh nvm

[@nathanpolak8635]

This man is narrating how my summer vacations went until I was 16 haha

[@RaccoonWheaties]

The "Just Interesting" podcast is a hidden gem. Featuring 3 friends, it starts with them each sharing something interesting they found out that week (unusual/little known facts and history). The middle is a deep dive into a subject they've chosen for each podcast. The ending is a quiz that rotates between 2 of the 3, and they keep a running score tournament style. Truly a gem of a podcast that needs way more attention than it has. Hope you give it a try!

[@lr-]

Podcast Recommendation: Black Box Down. It's similar to a true crime podcast but about aviation accidents. The niche topic gives you lots of cool new knowledge.

[@tejntanga]

Podcast recommendation: The Allusionist. A language podcast that talks about fun origins of words, the way language shapes the way we think and how society and language interact with each other.

[@Jbc2k8]

Strong co-sign on The Allusionist. Helen Zaltzman also has another podcast called Answer Me This! where she and another host answer audience questions. As a side note, her brother Andy Zaltzman is the host of The Bugle podcast which I check in on every once in a while

[@michaelweaklend]

I know it's been around forever, but I still enjoy RadioLab from NPR as a podcast. Decent length, interesting topics, well researched.

[@silkebokser]

I remember when NL said that he liked that Pokemon unite was anti-tryhard, and that the good thing about it was that there was none of the normal pressure from mobas and you could just mess around [this is where you move the goalposts]

[@mayman4255]

he will never know that half filled bone hearts work the same as full bone hearts in the eddie room

[@PixelBrummagem]

IMO: Damocles would have been a tactical and possibly great pickup this run. Death at any moment sounds scary, but Nl uniquely has Lazarus’s Rags, which would have resurrected him after the death, assuming it was to happen at all. This would likely result in a loss of HP, however perhaps not that great as NL was already but in return would have provided double items from pedestals across 3 more floors with item rooms, plus at minimum a few boss items. Something to think about!

[@IammeoramI]

True but that wouldn't synergize with his italian food meta

[@ChrisPBacon-sx7iq]

Great podcast: The Dollop Two guys discuss ridiculous true stories from history. Hilarity ensues. You can jump in to any episode that you want, they're all standalone for the most part. For a first episode I recommend "The Bone Wars", about two rival paleontologists in the United States

[@NoleenRankin]

Love that as soon as he starts talking about finance shit, he gets his shit pushed in for speaking positively about Capitalism. You love to see it.

[@smellyarmpit23]

what

[@maynase]

One podcast I love is Behind the Bastards. Non serialized, long episodes, and they talk about all the stuff you probably didn’t know about the worst people in history. The first 50 episodes are really good then it begins to fall off, but still a great podcast all around.

[@deekuman]

One Podcast I've been having a really great time listening to is Deep Cuts! They recently did a deep dive on Velocity Gnome, if you remember that bonkers internet story

[@jakespitznagel5173]

Now imagine this run with even a single damage up

[@chigchog]

bro the summer thing is so relatable. it’s always like ‘hang the washing up’ or preheat the over for when i get home 😂😂

[@Psychobum91932]

the one chicken responsibility actually happened to me nearly verbatim many, many times, though it was Halo 3 😅 like the time and everything was spot on, it's crazy

[@srstvns]

Podcast recs: Futility Closet is about interesting trivia / stories from the not too distant past, with a bonus lateral thinking puzzle to wrap things up! Episodes are 30+ minutes. Reply All is about various things, but I would recommend starting with the two-part episode Long Distance, which is about telephone scam calls. Together, they're 1.5 hours. I also like The Soundtrack Show occasionally (surprise, it's about soundtracks). 40-70 minutes long episodes.

[@germanas7898]

Finally, The Prophecy has come true!! He got Tractor Beam + Dunce Hat. People said it couldn't be done

[@jamesmaguire9152]

He almost skipped it too, lol

[@saberaxe]

I really like the History of Philosophy without any Gaps podcast, like most podcasts it is best listened to in order but you don't actually need to. If there is anyone you want to hear about in particular you can go to those episodes right away. For example there are episodes about Marcus Aurelius if wanted to learn more on him. Also some of the old philosophers have got to be content goldmines, the ancients got really zany in ways that don't happen anymore. You got guys like Parmenides out there trying to prove that change isn't real via raw logic. Or Hereclitus doing philosophy just with one liners such as "You can't step into the same river twice". A fun podcast if you are into that kind of content.

[@pious83]

The splash damage items, like Cricket's Body, also synergise with Dunce Cap too.

[@Gloomish.]

“Bite my lip and close my eyes take me away to paradise, as Green Day once said” 🤣🤣🤣

[@Speedswiper]

Hey NL, you can actually use the eddy room with only half a red heart in your bone heart. It will reduce you to an empty bone heart without destroying it. That way, you can use two half red hearts on the ground to get two hits

[@Speedswiper]

Oof never mind. Looks like he figured that out later in the video

[@PacificEgg]

History podcast: Fall of Civilizations Edit: each episode is between 1.5 and 3 hours. I sleep to it and each episode covers about 5 sleeps before I feel I heard the whole thing.

[@Paschettanico]

23:49 I was on my way to write that jeje

This man talking about learning how to pronounce Italian food words and I still struggle with it even though my Grandfather owned an Italian restaurant and didn't learn English until he was an adult.

Good night everyone

[@egordon43]

Hey NL, lots of great podcast suggestions here but wanted to add a few more! 99% Invisible - already recommended but several people here 20,000 Hertz - podcast about sound design, similar style to 99% invisible Cautionary Tales - podcast from Tim Harford about lessons from history and how we can learn from them. With the exception of a rare part two, nearly every episode is a standalone story!

[@julesandmusic]

You might like the podcast "hey riddle riddle", a little improv comedy and puzzles, also hour-long episodes!

[@harrycoulter5754]

Podcast recommendation: The Duncan Trussel Family Hour. Hour long episodes with really cool people who talk about really cool things. Funny, thought provoking, helps you see the world a bit differently. Same guy who's in Midnight Gospel on netflix, if you/ve seen that.

[@williamlancaster4932]

Good morning everyone

[@only_spencer]

I listen to a ton of podcasts at work but I like Stuff You Should Know. Lots of variety on topics and usually 30 to 60 minutes long. Freakonomics has interesting and in depth topics. I like StarTalk as well. Lots of others too, can't list all of them.

The Socially Distant Sports Bar. Great Sports Podcast with a bunch of british comedians. It made me enjoy sports.

1865: a podcast with my favorite presenter, Dan Rubenstein (so smooth voice), that is a dramatized re-telling of the events after the attempted American coup of the Lincoln assassination. It is interesting from a historical perspective, and might be a little enlightening for someone not in the US and has a great theatrical performance to it. It also has two seasons and is around 30-40 minutes an episode.

[@zak7608]

Podcast Recommendation: Fall of Civilizations Podcast, if you like learning like ancient times and soothing voices. I listen to it a lot of my times while doing things like walking and it makes life nice!

[@Whatsuppbuddies]

I guess you might’ve been mixing ancillary with auxiliary, which might actually make you a modern-day Prometheus

As far as podcasts go I would suggest More Perfect. Each episode is a deep dive look at a US Supreme Court case. NPR's Invisibilia has some great episodes too.

[@justinisking13]

If you've been listening to Comedy Bang! Bang! for a while, check out Threedom. It's Scott Aukerman, Paul F. Tompkins, and Lauren Lapkis. It's about an hour long - 2/3 is banter and the final third is an improv game. Very funny and in the spirit of Bang! Bang!

[@mcgoo721]

I’ve never seen this bone swinging character or upgrade before (off tab agree start.) that’s pretty cool

[@collinelliott4743]

Comedy Podcast Rec: All Fantasy Everything (AFE). The premise is they set up a fantasy draft of a different topic every week. Some examples are: "who do you want on your side in a fight", "words that you think make you sound smart", and "childhood crushes". However, I will note, that there are frequent inside jokes that relate to previous episodes so although you're absolutely able to jump around episodes to listen to the draft topics you are most interested in, there are also inside jokes you may have missed out on in an episode you skipped. Edit: AFE is notorious for having l-e-n-g-t-h-y free-form banter at the start of the show that can often times feel bloating to the already long episode time so it's not uncommon to skip forward to the draft if that's your preference.

[@LennoxLi]

I dont know if youre into physics or astronomy but id like to recommend the podcast Startalk. The astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson answers questions about the universe and everything in it that everyone has had and each episode you either learn something new or you learn something about something you thought you knew. Sometimes its about the sun, sometimes its about big numbers that the human brain cant really grasp because we just dont deal with them in our daily life. Its a great mix of comedy and science and I always enjoy listening to it.
