Triforce! Mailbag Special #44 - The Mailbag Speedrun

[@jakeypakey2]

As an American, I have no idea who Greg Wallace is, nor what he looks like. But the stories told on this podcast paint a good enough picture

[@jamescarroll384]

Bald, caucasian, glasses. I don't know if he has any other easily described features.

[@ytpanda398]

Vaguely eggish man

[@colossaldonut5190]

As someone from Australia this is my thinking exactly.

[@vrrrrrr-uwu]

imagine if a very large thumb wore glasses and a suit

[@colebotman]

I've heard at least 5 different variants of the dog suitcase story, it's definitely an urban legend being passed around

[@Mynestrone]

IP ban the emailer. Justice must be served

[@zepyhrnow]

Same

[@wafflecopter208]

I find Lewis's comment about podcasters phoning it in when they are not interested, then a few minutes later mentioned he's not paying attention and is just going to get ai haikus, pretty funny

[@brianm5060]

Thought it was a perfect time to get in a dig on Zero Degrees or whatever and he missed his shot :(

[@cod3J]

1 minute in and we have a greg wallace reference that's a good split. Hopefully we can beat the 10 min split for a bathplug story!

[@niclastname]

Lmao the like 8 year old gif pronunciation debate reference out of nowhere got me 😂

[@LemonCamel]

Lewis' stupid ET joke at 21:09 just went under the radar

[@colossaldonut5190]

Love shit like that

[@MandieCat]

Ive been a spotify listener since the beginning but recently switched to KZbin music. The comments are an experience on thier own

[@Terinije]

POWs are actually eligible for backpay when they get out.

[@Xanthanarium]

Still fucking reeling at the suitcase dog story

[@Terinije]

Was expecting Pyrion to be furious at the idea of a Greg Wallace cider.

[@theeutecticpoint]

52:16- that sounds amazing, It'd be great to hear more about this!

[@caleb_dreams]

The mailbag's here once again!!!

[@djflippy5]

If love was a boardgame, it would be The Cones of Dunshire.

[@SIC66SIC66]

I am no economist, but I think the 30 day payment delay is actually more advantageous for smaller companies with less regular cashflow. If you organize, for example, a Dota tournament. You have to pay for the venue, casters, camera stuff, whatever. If the company organizing it had to pay for all of this upfront or at the day it happened, they might not always have the funds. I think all in all its way better for a countries economy if a small business can buy stuff they dont yet have 100% of the money for to pay back.

[@TimNotAvailable]

I've heard that dog in suitcase story before, but can't remember where.

[@andrewh2891]

I heard it years ago, but the woman fell getting off the subway, dropped her suitcase, a random guy helped her, and when the guy asked why it was so heavy she panicked and said it was full of laptops

[@Ihqnaattori]

I heard one version of that story in friendlyjordies video about train horror stories. His video is titled "We had to censor this video a lot". The dog suitcase story is around four and a half minutes in that one.

[@TimNotAvailable]

@@Ihqnaattori yes! That's it, thanks! :D

[@Ihqnaattori]

@@TimNotAvailable np, I had a hunch we both saw it in the same place and I was recently binging some of his worst of videos so it was fresh on my mind.

[@JohnReiher]

Well, that woman is out a suitcase...

[@VemorrFrantik]

Ripping a phonebook in half is quite easy actually if you know a technique for it; easily googlable. Of course it requires some strength but not "worlds strongest steroid pumper" -strength. Of course if he straight ripped it like a piece of paper without any twisty shit, it is very impressive AND being a kaiju-level threat does help make it look effortless if you know the techniques to it.

[@colossaldonut5190]

People dog on Mr Satan from Dragon Ball for doing it with no effort.

[@aethernaut1899]

Love the fire-fighter letter.

[@olliep6794]

34:29 end of ad

[@ixhilkalaskiiver792]

Here, once again

[@Terinije]

If Americans can't have pizza due to originating in Italy despite loads of regional variants from here by food wizard standings, Brits can't have any kind of chips/crisps/fries if they're from Belgium initially.

[@Rorschach87]

im struggling to think of countries outside of US and UK that will be truly shafted by this magical mandate.

[@DubhghlasMacDubhghlas]

@@Rorschach87 pyrion said rice was only for China... Cool Tomatoes are not naïve to Europe. So no dishes with them in it. He sees it as simple thing. But it is not since how ingredients moved about and also how dishes spread. Sausage who created that first that will effect many nations. Same with Bread.

[@scoobybri123q2]

1:00:00 While i agree we should fix this planet rather than explore space, at this point it looks like there's no exploring or fixing just more destruction 😢

[@chowjers1087]

how very in character of Lewis "Dog Killer" Brindley

[@TheSofaBearKing1]

Jeez this must be old if this was recorded the day after Geoff Capes died

[@AnthonyFuller]

Skip Sponsor - 34:29

[@marioornot]

Well done Lorenzo

[@henryjohnson-ville3834]

I listened to this episode on 1/13/25.

[@raidwipe]

Ok

[@henryjohnson-ville3834]

@@raidwipe I keep track when I listened to these. Spotify does have a green checkmark by an episode when listened but doesn't display the date.

[@Lynkah]

Yeah not paying immediately is such a scam. It's just because it makes accountant work easier. Anything they can avoid paying instantly, they will. Laws should change tbh.

[@gd1247]

Acclomolate!

[@willdazey7368]

7:00 wrong. The issue men have trying to view their faults is that women judge men by completely different metrics. Men judge women largely based on looks. For men, it seems so cut and dry because they live in the quantitative realm. Lewis is much closer with his "tingles" perspective because that IS where women are at: aesthetic quality and general feel. The advice is to just keep trying. It's a terribly used message, but it's true. You have to just keep trying until the stars align and you find someone who likes you enough to dig deeper. Then, they have to like what they find again. Best bet is trying to connect with women that like the same things you like. They exist, and there are websites for it. Drunk bar hookups are against the odds to create lasting relationships, especially in today's society with the high expectations.

[@hendas9763]

Illegitimate run. This has clearly been edited and spliced from multiple runs. And dont start with the stray photons!

[@hendas9763]

21:10 made 100x funnier by nobody acknowledging it

[@Dukefazon]

Maybe there was an issue with soldier trying to get captured so they could just wait for the end of the war in captivity. If you are a POW you have some rights and they are not allowed to kill you once they captured you and people were using this as a loophole to prevent getting shot in combat. This is not a fact or anything, I'm just thinking out loud.

[@Thorwar]

tbh probs the funniest ep yet

[@Kai-vp1oh]

the chatgpt haikus are maybe the laziest and least novel thing the podcast has done yet but I'll be interested to see if lewis can find something less interesting in time for next episode

[@Watam8o]

"Spaces" conversation wasn't witty or funny but I'll allow it.
