    man
    who has redvines when they could have twizzlers

    it's like I don't even know drew

    I think red Vines are a West Coast thing?

    They are, but they are still far inferior to Twizzlers.

    No argument here, which is why I always found that line in Lazy Sunday about Mr Pibb and Red Vines to be odd. But I guess Samberg is from CA.

    Being a straw is literally the only thing they are better at then any other licorice product.

    I've never delved into the Bombasticas before, and today I noticed some wrestling ones

    I loved Royal Rumble as a kid so that was a fun watch, but I never played any N64 wrestling games before

    Revenge looks so bad, holy shit

    Especially the cartoon ref that does the count

    Mother of god this looks awful

    Also I love that Alex shows the proper amount of respect to Mr. Perfect in both videos

    EDIT: "Chris Benoit....

    We'll talk about him later."

    Twizzlers are absolutely the inferior product, this is 100% fact.

    Five minutes into Unprofessional Friday: "Wow, I should look into buying one of those robots for when somebody can't make a roleplaying session. It would even be thematic if we were playing Shadowrun."

    Brad mentions the cost: "I don't know what I was prepared to pay, but it was nice to live in the fantasy world of affordable robots."

    Does it hurt to be this wrong? It seems like it should hurt to be this wrong. Unless your only metric is "serves as straw while tasting shitty and having bad texture"...

    Now you're off in the wrong camp, too. For red licorice Twizzlers are where it's at.

    Yeah, I meant strawberry licorice flavor. It's also nice and soft and sometimes you don't want Dots or Snickers or whatever.

    That being said black licorice is also great.

    I really feel like the Beastcast needs to differentiate from the Bombcast and I think I know what they should do after episode 6. Bombcast should maintain the same format chat/games/news/emails whereas Beastcast should focus on doing a deep dive on one or two topics (I'd prefer one). After their talk on VR I'm itching for this. Really enjoying Austin.

    For some reason however Alex really rubs me the wrong way.

  • Cilla BlackCilla Black Priscilla!!! Registered User regular
    I dunno, I've thought Alex has been his most vocally on point during the latest beastcast by quite a bit

    He's always great on twitter, but his audio/physical presence hasn't really kept up till recently, though I've never disliked him.

    Beastcast is already seeming more classic bombcast style than the standard bombcast. It is the new home of extended tangents and riffs. I still like the standard bombcast but its lineup just doesn't do that stuff anymore

    Hell, flip it around then - or have them trade formats every other week.
    I find that there's a ton of overlap between the two podcasts so some sort of twist on format would be great (IMO). Them doing the exact same thing with different people feels redundant.

    My commute has been drastically cut in time.(Also is nonexistent for the summer).

    This is nice because yay less commute, but man I'm so behind on podcasts.

    as has been said many times: Alex is great when he's not trying to be 'on' or 'funny'. When he's just his normal self he has really good things to say. When he's trying to do a bit or etc he just becomes aggravating
