Versus Wolves 001: THE BEST Collection 2023

[@VersusWolvesPodcast]

Timestamps and show notes added. 👍🏿

[@videoanon]

Thanks! useful stuff. btw the libsyn link in the description is broken because it has www in it.

[@Uhcip]

Rhythmically challenged wolves

[@Homunculus97]

So the man starts an entire YT career because he wants to prove another man wrong about an anime, and it all ends up with him starting a podcast with the man he wanted to prove wrong? Damn The Hero's Journey can take many shapes it seems.

[@ramzyrizzle]

I can't wait for the steamy, naked fight scene in the rain between the two

[@sargerules20]

​@@ramzyrizzle "just fuck and get it over with"

[@aidan4252]

Woolie is the Sasuke of EyepatchWolf lore.

[@denisvieira80]

*starting a podcast for the explicit purpose of forcing Woolie to watch more Hunter x Hunter and other anime like it.

[@User5770]

This is the long term storytelling you love to see. Exquisite.

[@Orion_The_Merchant]

Inside you are two wolves. One wants you to learn Blanka The other wants you to learn Fear & Hunger

[@adoniscreed4031]

If this podcast goes on for many years, I hope that this becomes an ongoing joke forever 😂

[@kanemello]

Woolie the fraud doesn't even play Blanka anymore. He's a Marisa main now

[@PurplesttCoffee]

​​​@@kanemello *I speak for the entirety of my nation 🇧🇷, as well as mains of people with electric powers in general:* we forgive him. Blanka can't compete with those muscles, man.

[@SilverRevolt7699]

John has the oportunity to do something extremely funny and force Woolie to go into the FGC Retierment Home... FF14

[@TheMrrccava]

And both starve because all I play is Ryu and JRPG's when they come out.

[@KrisJoshJones]

Massive balls using triple figures for the numbering format of a monthly podcast.

[@JoeyStalley]

"For the people who are upset about this and it seems like we're laughing at you, we absolutely are" based eyepatch wolf

[@Jadfisk]

All that wrestling heel work is paying off

[@Stiganamatic]

Very strong statement; can't argue with it!

[@redstar587o7]

Coming back now he was actually laughing at woolie lol

[@danidm5820]

It's so nice for such big internet personalities to come together to spotlight a small unknown author like Takehiko Inoue.

[@Dr_Ki11enger]

"Woolie you're bigger than me" No kidding. The zoomed in camera on Woolie makes it look like he's talking to a tiny Irish child 😂

[@wolfrox777]

I've seen eyepatchwolf IRL and dude is huge man. They're both tanks.

[@SaberRexZealot]

@@wolfrox777 everything’s a tank when you’re an ant! 🐜 🐜 🐜

[@PaulColclough47]

​@@wolfrox777I've seen him randomly around Dublin and while the guy has bulk he's a little under average height. But he owns it like a champ and although I'm taller he could be the shite out of me.

[@jpatel0398]

Them pushing the "Little Inoue" bit the furthest possible limit so naturally is everything

[@Indivisibleidiot]

So glad that supereyepatchwolf is still helping out small channels like this

[@just_matt214]

Goddamn.

[@brandonlow]

Shots fired

[@LLindo]

Going out and being social is John's Fear and Hunger. He asked Woolie to sit in a dark room and play a dark and twisted game. So Woolie asked him to go outside in the sunshine and play a fun and vibrant game with people. Both horrors in their own right.

[@LittleMountain90]

I cannot put into words how much "Gorgeously illustrated strategy guide for a game that doesn't exist" hits my incredibly specific nerd niches for maximum damage.

[@Healibord]

When does either of them say this

[@josiahws5]

​@@Healibord 2:16:36

[@Daddy_Kaiju]

I’m convinced Woolie can’t not have a 3 hour podcast. Not complaining but damn.

[@Joshua-op7uk]

To be fair we did have Woolie Will Figure It Out

[@mageofvoid4282]

every time i see the 3hr podcast i think "damn, thats it?"

[@Jadfisk]

He needs has to participate in a podcast recording at least 10% of his week, doctors orders.

[@Eval999]

Shorter podcasts ain't even worth my time.

[@EdBurke37]

I love the idea of Benoit Blanc able to figure out who Kira is but not understanding the mechanics of the Death Note because YES! That just fits him so well.

[@waitselljones8068]

For those that are coming from the preview, it starts at 11:00 and ends at 1:07:36

[@roriksavant]

Ty very much

[@Sharpevil]

Doing the lord's work.

[@jakejutras5420]

Comment to boost this comment up.

[@ahame94]

actual hero shit

[@vaancor2955]

You're doing the lords work, thank you!

[@cB-sr9kd]

John and Woolie 11 minutes in: "We need to not encourage the shippers." John and Woolie at 35:36:

[@benzur3503]

Also: 1:07:03

[@ColonelMustache]

Yo, this rules. I want the next tournament to be even more abstract and stupid. “The moment where Goku used his one broken arm to Kamehameha recoil blast through King Piccolo’s chest vs a glass of water at 3 AM”

[@booker244]

the chemistry of this duo made the past 3 hours fly by. I can't wait for more

[@SayuriMiki]

THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA. THE SHOUT OF EARTH RISES. THE ONE EYED WOLF AWAKENS. THE WOLRD ITSELF CRUMBLES, AND WE ARE LEFT WITH NOTHING TO BUT PRAY, WATCH, AND LISTEN.

[@mooxsir]

The second STRONGEST videogame podcast!!!!!!!

[@DrazGames]

I'm not sure which will be the more traumatizing challenge, venturing into the darkness to fight twisted nightmare creatures, or playing Fear & Hunger.

[@chivesy7767]

Genuinely wholesome how much these two love each other, memes aside.

[@NeedMoreKimchi]

The spirit of the LFAB game of the year showdown lives on, incredible.

[@adoniscreed4031]

LFAB 😭 where are they? 😭😭😭😭

[@nyarancia]

@@adoniscreed4031Bryan unfortunately didn't want to continue the podcast anymore :( I pray for a comeback in the future

[@kurowasanabe]

@@nyarancia That's a shame, I hope they went out on good terms at least.

[@adoniscreed4031]

​@nyarancia oh man! That is heartbreaking 😭 I wish that they had done a more public announcement, not that I need to know personal reasons or anything but just wish I was told, been waiting for them every week... wish those guys all the best, they are such great people!

[@Kuma5655]

When y’all mentioned Puss having villain of the year, I thought “nah Jack Horner ain’t that-“ and lost my mind remembering Death and then remembered Goldi and the bears were also adversaries. Such a banger movie.

[@literallyatiger64]

Truly this is the only way Eyepatch Wolf's extreme spite at Woolie could have ended

[@conlee2817]

this pilot acts more as an origin story with woolies #1 pick, its so funny to see both of you completely agree with each other until the very last and most important moment. cant wait for this

[@SpicyAinsley]

Maximum good boy points for bringing us this podcast for both of you

[@cadaverchris6000]

When he said 'TMNT MUTANT MAYHEM VS THE COUNTRY OF PORTUGAL' I knew I was about to witness a battle of the ages

[@ziryuri]

The greatest late Christmas gift anyone could have given us! A NEW PODCAST BABY!

[@ps2lover666]

We mustve collectively gathered so many Prayer Points to manifest this gift. Praise be!

[@deejus_e]

I’ve never been more hyped for a podcast in my life Can’t wait for the arc where y’all wrestle

[@strawberin0]

Shirtless in the rain ofc

[@Serataify]

Woolie came firing on all cylinders during that Optifast vs Vermis segment

[@Thtambitiousguy]

One thing I love about Woolie as a creator is he does not seem to be shy or scared about doing something new. The variety of content he has available is amazing. Subscribed ❤️💪🏾

[@illithidlore]

Woolie talking to John about Barry Sanders has to be like John talking to his family about anime.

[@ojrmk1]

Their smiles are precious and they MUST be protected.

[@Jadfisk]

Alas, these two together cannot be protected from each other

[@gwen9939]

When John talked about him and Woolie in a hotel room at 3AM playing Marisa mirrors I wanted to see a discussion between them so badly. That they're doing an actual ongoing podcast is amazing and makes me so happy. These are 2 of my favorite internet dwellers and I just love hearing them banter.

[@valkayink]

This is the best, nothing compares to John making Woolie laugh and Woolie returning the laughs back to John ^^ Thank you guys for this end of the year treat : )

[@ararebeast]

I did not expect IMMEDIATE bargaining here. Love it. This is going into my podcast rotation instantly.

[@CezrDaPleazr]

"I'm a large 😄" THE AUDIBLE AWW THAT LEFT MY MOUTH

[@MediaMeister]

Tournament Arc ensues. Im locked in. Playing a mental saltybet before each 2 min match. Amazing content. Compliments to the chefs.

[@RougeMephilesClone]

Thank you for the timestamps. The twist at the end of the countdowns was worth the price of admission. And I mean the last _part_ of the countdowns themselves, not anything afterward! OH SNAP, THE TWISTS KEPT COMING! Woolie and John are playing for keeps on their very first bet! And for however rough or mentally tough John's side ends up, Woolie doesn't normally _engage_ with the genre of thing he's got! This is gonna' be WILD!

[@k-nun]

Glad indie creators like Inoue are getting some recognition on such a mainstream platform as Versus Wolves. Maybe this will help him break out of the underground.

[@GelidPrince]

Love going back to this after learning more about Vermis.

[@mandrakebrew]

As someone who recently lost enough weight and went down to a medium shirt size, i can relate to how woolie felt about being a large

[@LtDragonfruit]

i could listen to these guys forever

[@greatestcait]

Never before have I hit subscribe so fast. What a wonderful Christmas present you've given us, Woolie and John.

[@theorangecollective.7663]

lol same

[@bigeoof1804]

There’re times where I blank out on just how endearing and infectious Woolie’s laugh is, and this was such a great reminder

[@drlibro2669]

Woolie really caught him with that waking super after the sweep

[@cyikes8271]

Hey I know these guys! Anyway my top 10: 1. Adopting a kitten 2. Radio TV Solutions (Twitch collective) 3. Threads 4. Serving C*nt with Tommy Bones 5. Scented Candles 6. Big squishmellows 7. Barbie 8. Scooby doo socks 9. The Sims 4 Growing Together expansion pack 10. My local transit system releasing an app

[@MCPhatman]

I SO CALLED THISSSSSSS LETS GO ❤❤❤ 😅 I actually said John would join Castle Super Beast but close enough 😅😂

[@EdBurke37]

This was a really great podcast but you should really consider including your lists in the description especially for lesser known things (everyone know where to find SF6 and BG3) just so we can look these things up and give their creators some love.

[@m.hiroshisutherland3035]

Fantastic debut! The chemistry between you two is just magical. But lets be honest here... We were robbed of a Ren Narita v. Optifast 900 final.

[@spiralspeaks]

I hate to admit it, but I’ve been desperately craving a good friend simulator podcast. Literally so hyped for this.

[@ramenpower8097]

I started drinking optifast as a replacement for fast food lunch at work and I’ve lost 10lbs! Woolie ain’t lying this thing’s a game-changer

[@thenationofdefecation7969]

Ren Narita taking up the one Pro Wrestling spot on John's list is fucking hilarious

[@FayeHunter]

Incredible pleeeease keep the roller coaster going, i love the chemistry!

[@MDKcde]

Yes! another 3 hour podcast. I might make it through the week with this much content.

[@down2urth]

Bruh the struggle is real

[@sonybajor12]

What a great recap of good shit over the year. Can't wait to get 225 calories of drink while watching slam dunk later

[@Scrimbus_Ross]

I never knew I needed this, but thank god I do

[@ShadowXeneth]

This "brother from another mother" energy is an absolute barrel of laughs, but BOYS I cannot for the life of me get this "Little Inoue" bit that is happening...

[@Threvlin]

Two people I can listen to talk about the stuff they love for hours? Sign me up!

[@megamilkxl3414]

The crossover of a century that I desperately needed. Thank you, both of you

[@brocklock0975]

So pumped you guys are doing stuff with any regularity. Always a good time.

[@PleasantLeech]

Inside of you are two wolves. They are both arguing with each other, surrounded by neon crucifixes. Do not listen to their lies about them being swords.

[@zerohikari2685]

Can't escape from crossing fate!

[@UndeadGary]

Damn, not only do we get this amazing new podcast but also potentially more content on each individuals channel due to these media dares. Like a video documenting Johns foray into the local FGC or a lets play of Fear and Loathing with Woolie. Great stuff all around. I love the energy and concept.

[@zapptuff5186]

I had a really lovely time watching this. I have had a very stressful period of pulling multiple all nighters with low health for uni. Listening to two people passionately discussing and hyping up art they love with such great rapport is genuinely great. The concept of talking about experiences that truly uplifted/inspired you throughout the year and your bonding over it is honestly a beautiful thing, thanks for sharing it. I hope you do something similar to this next year and I very much look forward to seeing how the "media homework" progresses. Sorry for the perhaps cringe overly sincere comment, in my defence I am very sleep deprived. Keep doing awesome stuff :))

[@ClarkedyClarke]

it is incredibly cute how much fun youre both having and how much you like eachother.

[@bnktendo5869]

This the only podcast I've seen with a tournament arc and it had to be super eyepatch wolf to do it

[@michaelking7847]

"good to know experiences are on the table" lol John's gonna come back next month and tell Woolie to stick his nose in a mousetrap

[@JeskidoYT]

Woolies laugh can cure any hospital visit

[@TsumeAri]

100%. His joy is infectious.

[@ThomasUfnalCrowlake]

Portugal is my favourite country to visit, it's absolutely wonderful.

[@CielBlanche]

I just came from Wolf's favorite things video so I get to hear the entire script of that video all over again immediately! If it sounds like I'm laughing at you, I absolutely am!

[@tentailsjack]

Two classic geezers on the same podcast please do more of this

[@poke3534]

This is something I never knew I wanted but now that I have it I cannot live without it

[@ZweihanderSteve]

The talk about Gon in 60 seconds were the exact thoughts I had last week when watching the CSB clip. Y'all are creatives. Do what ya want.

[@SwagBroPlays]

They are having so much fun, it's great

[@syntheskeleton]

Since John asked, Top 10 Things of 2023: 10) Tears of the Kingdom 9) Resident Evil 4 (2005) 8) Armored Core: For Answer 7) Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World 6) Kingdom Of Heaven (2005) 5) Halo 3: ODST 4) Undertale 3) Clockstoppers (2002) 2) The Death of Henry Kissinger 1) Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury

[@KuroeNezumi]

Oh. So that reference to "Gon in 60 seconds" here was just a preamble, and John really was trying to give Woolie a heads-up then. Cool beans.

[@crumblyguy1834]

when woolie mentioned merch in the vermis vs the diet drink debate, john's face doesn't move but you can sense his eyes pulsate

[@DJ_Berserk_IX]

Love it! The wrestling discussions were freakin' great! Heheh

[@Dabednego]

This is the greatest enemies to lovers arc ever

[@themangaloid1487]

Finally! A high energy podcast! Refereshing

[@Porterhaus94]

2:30:03 - Woolie, after hearing why Wolf dislikes Hi-Fi Rush, leans over and whispers in his ear: "Get good at rhythm, bitchhhhh"

[@nickknight8]

How the fuck is the already my favorite podcast after only 1 episode. I love both podcasts you guys do and never want you to stop them, but the chemistry and comedy in this episode was gut busting. Can not wait for more.

[@Koters9]

So excited for more of this.

[@KTL08796]

yup ante up is one of my new favorite songs

[@combatwomb1]

A podcast with these two is a dream come true 🥹

[@TenaciousP45]

Episode 3 of TLOU is one of the best episodes of anything. I was genuinely floored. Its basically a short film for people who've played the game. 10/10

[@Therudicle2]

I really needed a new podcast, not even joking. So glad you guys are doing this.

[@baggettaboutit]

Grateful for this, and for being in video format, and being so nicely edited. Adding in the visuals when possible really helps me and gives me a taste for the things i haven't experienced yet that i now want to.

[@joaoberrones8355]

Sooo good to see my home country getting a shout out and some recognition. Go Portugal :-) Fado use very hard to explain to someone that never heard it / scene it sang live. There is a word in the Portuguese dialect called saudade, which doesn't have a direct translation (longing for a loved one / loved place being the closest) and it's a major component of the way Fado is sang.

[@jayvman1311]

Love you guys!!! Thanks for the great time I had watching this 😁

[@gordon13344]

Knowing that both John and Woolie have watched and liked Gunbuster makes me happy.

[@Bakedpotatomanforever]

Ohhhh I’m so excited

[@startingfromlevelone9510]

Bringing up one of your all’s favorite moments of the year being a mirror match of Marissa reminded me of the moment I was the most connected to anyone ever and it was playing Soulcalibur 2 Nightmare mirror match where we drew the match. It was a thing of beauty, where we were so in sync with eachother it could only be described as shonin rival fight. We traded wins the first couple of rounds, drew the final match, and that went into sudden death, which was a thing we didn’t know we could do, and double ko’d eachother resulting in a draw of the whole thing. Honestly peak.

[@jacobwcseal]

Looking forward for this dynamic duo's podcast future. Will they force each other to read homestuck?? Perhaps that would be too cruel, Maybe for a season finale or something.

[@atomic_godz]

This was an absolute joy. I can't wait to watch these every month!

[@magickoopa24]

The idea of listing out top 10 Experiences rather than one specific thing is a concept that i really love, so i put one togethe (its a bit personal so wont be sharing here as they suggested) It does make it very funny seeing "holding a job for a year" next to "the level P-2 from Ultrakill"

[@elviejodann6544]

It's kinda weird when you put it all together, even if it's not top 10 but just a list. I have "finding my potential wife" next to "that chicken and rice the mom of my best friend's girlfriend made for us". Honorable mention to "uninstalling League"

[@magickoopa24]

@@elviejodann6544 that last one should be ranked at number 1, lol

[@gmkgoat]

Ngl as soon as I heard John and Woolie were doing a book club podcast I just naturally assumed it was a ploy to get Woolie to finish HxH

[@ryanmartiliano2601]

i love how confident you guys are that you put 3 digits for the numbers in the title, hopefully you guys get to episode 100 at least, or it would be really embarrassing
