I didn't stick around for Jeff's full live podcast on Tuesday, but I just noticed that it's 3 hours?! That is a lot of solo Jeff! I kinda hope it isn't that long every week.
A major chunk of that was just responding to emails. Dunno if he'll go that length every time, might've just wanted to spend some extra time responding to questions since it was the first show and everything was pretty sudden. Tho who knows, might just be used to a 3 hour podcast after how many years and naturally goes for that.

Dan learning where fruits and vegetables (and peanuts) actually grow from is giving me all kinds of nostalgia I didn't realise I had for this incredible bullshit
From the Summer Game Fest video (watching a Call of Duty trailer with a molotov cocktail throw):
Jess: "You know how you're not supposed to put water on like a grease fire or an oil fire? Is there like any molotov equivalent of like an oily . . ."
Dan: "Gasoline would be bad."
Jason: "That's what they put in . . . oh my god."
Jess: "What did you think was in there?"
Dan: "Just fire juice, I don't know."
Followed by Grub saying that he is really glad Dan is back at Giant Bomb.

As much as Dan drove me absolutely crazy, he is probably just the shot in the arm GB needs right now.

I haven't had a chance to listen to or watch much of anything lately, but goddamn if that "fire juice" comment isn't cracking me the hell up. Glad he's back.

Also, whenever he says something utterly insane or completely idiot boneheaded, I remind myself that Jeremiah exists.

I eagerly await Bak 2 Skool Season 2, the eventual Mario Party Party reboot, and whatever other crazy ideas opportunity, budget, and that unique mind allow Dan to create.
He just can't be allowed to attempt that challenge of eating 40 pounds of cheese in a day like he threatens to.
Ranking of Tekken Endings is pretty great. I do think it's a copout that everything under 30 is "the dump zone" and they don't bother ranking anything down there.

Yeah. As much as he irritates me, I loved Steal my Sunshine, Burgle my Bananas, and Die Another Friday. Obv Vinny, Alex and Abby being there helped a bunch, but there's a zany spirit to his ideas that GB has def been lacking (and I'd argue was part of their identity for a long time)
Over these years I’ve come to realize that checking is exactly what I need to enjoy Dan and when it’s there, Dan is the best thing about GB. He had it with Jeff/Vinny/Abby. I don’t feel like he has it with Mike and Mary which is why I fell off Fire Escape.
Hopefully this crew can get that balance and if so I think GB is going to be a lot of fun.
I don't keep up with Fire Escape, but the vibe I get is that Mary and Mike absolutely don't rein him in, even when they try/want to, like with the Death Stranding stuff.
Also the vibe I get is that Mike is basically a more muscular Dan, complete with absurd "I could totally fight a large wild animal and win" type takes.

What weirded me out about Mahardy was when during some GBEast segment, he talked about how when he's out in a bar or sth, he looks at the dudes and in his head imagines if and how he could beat them up
There are aspects of Mike present in Dan, and certainly they share the same enthusiasm for things like Rocky and McGruber, but a lot of their interests really diverge too. Mike goes in for a lot of "talky" games whereas Dan is all about "do-y" and Mike has a lot of Bakalar's (with his fondness for craft beet) enjoyment for finer things like wine, sailboats, and obscure Russian literature. He can come off sounding a bit like Dan's Jeremiah character or an insane character of a person (like Dan himself) depending on what he feels like doing or if he just wants to fuck with someone like Paul Ryckert. He is way more interesting/enteraining than your typical stock IGN/Gamespot personalities by leaps and bounds.
I think Fire Escape works as much as it does because Mike, Dan, and Mary have really great chemistry and each of them can hold their own as individual content creators. As strong as Giant Bomb's current lineup is (although yes, it feels really fucking weird Gerstmann isn't there still), if Mike just by himself could be brought in weighed against any other combination of two people excluding Dan, Jan, or Jeff B., it would be at the very least an even trade (if not something where I would overwhelmingly favor Mike).

I was sold by the time "Banjo Kazuya" started getting bounced around
That Tekken video is great and I'm all for more random one offs and features like that dropping out of nowhere.
And I'm glad Ranking of Fighters got brought up in a way where it seems like that may be coming back. The thought also occurred to me that we may end up with something like Giant Bomb Presents: Smashy Bet! at some point. Hopefully!

Dan has stated that he wants to keep his Twitch and GB stuff completely separate.

Also, we know that Jeff certainly wasn't leaving Giant Bomb because of event pressures mixed with COVID, because he's tweeted a bunch about going in person to the Summer Game Fest re: playing Street Fighter VI on site

Yeah, he specifically spoke of not wanting to go to something like E3 under COVID, I imagine this SF6 event was a lot smaller and had lower attendance.

What is it about Sprite that has made it such a meme drink?
From the photos I've seen that Jeff posted, looks like people were masked up at the very least while playing SF6. Looks like he did a stream of that wrestling battle royale game with Adam Boyes, and then went to the event.
Also, doing Ranking of Fighters without Ben or Jeff feels dirty and wrong.

It’s media and select influencers this time around
Man, one of my favorite things on YouTube is watching people talk over things like E3 and Nintendo Directs.
Having Giant Bomb, Nextlander, AND Jeff for these Xbox Bethesda things is just great. Different dynamics, perspectives, and just all of them getting excited about very different things for different reasons.
Also, man, Dan Ryckert is a CONTENT Machine. It’s not all great, but it all has just an insane amount of energy.

I will never delete that episode of the Beastcast because every now and then I need a good laugh and Jeremiah never fails.

Still waiting on Dan "Man of his Word" Ryckert to eat a hat
If there's one thing Dan is better at than nonsense content, it's backing out of bets he made.
No more Jeff G to keep him humble at Blitz anymore, either.

So I am back.
That is all.
The energy around the Sprite chug is literally the reason I come around.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
