Triforce! Mailbag Special #36 - Draining the Sack

[@andrewgalati3406]

This episode and the one uploaded to my podcast player are completely different episodes. I dont know if you guys read these but might be worth looking at

[@jslewis]

I've noticed the same thing!

[@harrisonbarber5070]

Yeah this threw me too

[@j-mc2144]

Yoo it's the triforce animations guy! Thanks for your work. Fun vids 😊​@@jslewis

[@jslewis]

@@j-mc2144 👋

[@SupernovaOrange]

Oh come ON Lewis, you always do this, just let pyrion finish the damn emails

[@Jasper_Hill]

Nah be less predictable

[@aaronmartin491]

Nobody wants your shitty opinion, even months later

[@bulletprooftomato3766]

I'm actually annoyed we didn't get to hear the full lab story with the music. That's just plain painful

[@StalkTheHype]

Lewis shutting down interesting topics with BS? That's a triforce classic.

[@ChonkyMonkey1]

The punchline of the story was that the emailer put on the Triforce podcast in the cathlab, but I agree, having heard the actual story would have been much better than whatever Lewis did :/

[@Kakopyge]

I disagree. Lewis guessing the story exactly was far funnier.

[@NakoMakes]

Noooo i wanted to hear the cathlab story (im a medical professional, so its extra intriguing for me)

[@euans-viewans]

For real, I’m also a cardiac physiologist and was super excited when I heard a story from a fellow physiologist but alas

[@NakoMakes]

[@euans-viewans]

@@NakoMakes Love you guys, even despite the ones in my hospital replacing our defibs with new shitty ones. Always look forward to my refresher workships with you lot!

[@NakoMakes]

@euans-viewans D: oh no you can't get shitty defibs! That sucks, we are getting new ones with remotes for training :p

[@SolarisWesson]

Those S Tier items, when read out in that order activate a sleeper agent.

[@dragonzord6615]

with the board game discussion at the end. I'm someone that almost always loses, but if you're spending time with friends, you're a winner.

[@garethjones6082]

I have just started a course to change career in my 40's, you don't realise that all the random shit banging around in your head is actually useful.

[@FLAGMACHINE11]

The only two things 'banging around' here consist exclusively of your mother and myself.

[@MrBones_]

Best of luck mate 👍

[@ZhangWei02]

Nice! Couldn't agree more. All the best to ya.

[@thebestcdub3041]

Perfect after lunch break pick me up. Thanks for posting

[@spacemaria_]

I'm just catching up on the episodes now, so I just wanna say that I also went to see The Longest Johns in Bristol this year (flew in from Germany) and I saw some Yogs standing near me and had a lovely chat with Briony afterwards. TLJ shows are always really amazing and so much fun, can definitely highly recommend.

[@rocketforthree4479]

14:53 Sips might not have watch all of Taskmaster, but he may be glad to know that 3 seasons were "Champion" rounds that brought back the winners of each season. Latest one was January 2024.

[@ThatBlindGuy247]

Lewis not realising he saw a really important emo band in the early days is great

[@alexwells5913]

Lads, is it just me, or is the Spotify episode 1) not a mailbag 2) not the same as this one??

[@Kakopyge]

In contrast to alot of the other commenters, I think Lewis guessing the lab story and shutting it down was hilarious.

[@Shosty]

Lewis gives advice like someone who loses boardgames would

[@WillFreddo]

52:40 Is Lewis a radiant? If not he's a third of the way to the first ideal!

[@lolianz]

Omg I feel really sorry for Scott, kind of a dick move from mr b

[@yushoo22]

This podcast is not G-tier, but its my G-spot

[@JamieAubrey]

As someone with a lazy eye, I'm now donning the nickname Frankenstein

[@liliaboisvert]

Sips joked about it but "Silicon Valley North" was an actual nickname for Ottawa back in the Nortel days. Especially funny how Pyrion joked about tech industry spying by their two city Beijing when Chinese spying really is what killed Nortel - Huawei got their start out of it.

[@blahblah8196]

Nice, what a way to start the day.

[@Eiko286]

Love the tier list.

[@vrrrrrr-uwu]

this is the stupidest tier list

[@HighConCannibal]

Thats big talk for a turtle lover Sips.

[@TheXxPSYCHO]

The deja vu is real

[@Official_King_Penguin]

Monopoly the game brought to you by Hasbro who definitely isn't a monopoly at all.

[@ShadyPNW]

Perfect timing triforce you make college bearable 😭💚

[@clemensweileder6464]

Best Agricola strategy is to have a little bit of everything

[@JamieAubrey]

They do bring back the winners from previous shows to go against each other but it's only a 1 show special

My mom wanted to name me Toe Cash, but my dad said no way. He didn't want nothing of it.

[@RedSntDK]

Lisa Lampanelli and Ron Funches are known names. Ron Funches in particular, but unless you watch a ton of comedy I can see how one might've not come across them.

[@caminuscrafts.]

Taskmaster is a fantastic bit of telly for sure!

[@plumqaz17]

Imo, the UK were the real heroes of WW2. They were the only ones to actually step up against the Nazis even though the Nazis just wanted to be allies. The Nazis didn't even want to fight the British. The Soviet Union won the war, although with a great deal of help from the British, and US swept in at the very end to save the top brass of the Nazis and loot Europe under the guise of helping. Churchill basically courted the Americans, who were very sympathetic to the Nazis, and basically granted them the rights to the loot and the Nazi leaders in return for help winning the war.

[@mycoal3016]

I think Lewis's thing is not liking things

[@hobbsthetiger2531]

Not sure if this is worth noting but the Spotify version of this weeks episode has this title but the content of the podcast doesn't seem to be referencing any of the mailbag topics ...

[@thefinal9923]

Damn I had noticed on spotify at work that the name was weird because it definitely wasn't a mailbag, but tonight relaxing at home after the week I was going to re-listen to it on my google hub and I discovered that they did indeed upload two different episodes this week. And also they changed the name on Spotify to the proper name, so we do have two distinct episodes this week.

[@Amps_]

Ha. I wonder if they meant to upload mailbag or regular episode. Spotify had episode 295 instead of this one

[@albinfiskare]

humans not contributed more or less than than any other species is my short answer as a biologist

[@StalkTheHype]

Lewis shutting down interesting topics with BS? That's a triforce classic. Remember when he shut down the game of thrones talk so they could guess latitudes of random places on google maps?

[@EveOnlineRanger002]

I loved weird at blizzcon, but no one can top tenacious D

[@someperson8641]

[@fossghost_1713]

No the Iron Bull

[@thefinal9923]

Pyrion is such a crybaby sometimes. I really love this podcast and they are all so deserving of praise for what they uniquely bring to the table but I wish Sips had the ambition or Lewis had the time to run the mailbag because this is the second time Pyrion has really killed the vibe of a mailbag by just being such a raging manchild. I guess two times out of thirty six isn't so bad. I don't know why I've found that so frustrating but I really hope that when this inevitably happens again they just take a break and cut the whole part out to save Pyrion some dignity and us some frustration. I wouldn't want Pyrion to read this and be upset -- I don't know what's going on with him in his professional and private lives and I reiterate that Pyrion's nature is crucial to this podcast being the great thing it is.

[@Reik483]

Lewis be normal challenge: failed

[@piya5243]

If Lewis could shut up for just a second sometimes 🤦🏿‍♂️ I'm so annoyed at not hearing the rest of that story

[@Konkonsoy]

Dear god. As an American the US Taskmaster was INSUFFERABLE! Complete garbage of all the contestants being total assholes to Alex Horn in a fashion that was in no way funny, all the while constantly reminding everyone how Lesbian and female they were as if that meant fucking anything. The fans hated it, the US hated it and I would even argue those who typically find that type of humor (people just being rude and nasty) hated it. Cancelled I think after just 1 season, good riddance to bad rubbish.

[@xMasterMate]

So glad Pyrion is in charge of the emails and not Lewis, ffs

[@Joseph-jj7bw]

i love lewlew but i wish he'd shut his gob

[@Terinije]

Holy cow, as someone with a phobia of anything eye-related, please never read anything like that ever again

[@Phil_AKA_ThundyUK]

Taskmaster has loads of "diveerse" and "woke" guests on now. No matter how you feel about this type of modern day politcal crap, it's just not as funny because of the people they're getting on. Watch a few eps from the early seasons and watch a few of the later ones - night and day.

[@ALotOfCancer]
