Hey, hi, hello, and welcome to the after party, bro, I didn't go to the after party last time, and I heard that you had to be there so much happened. You had to be there.

I don't know. I was there. It was fine. Bro, you had to be there. Brandon thought it was fine because he turned into a wolf halfway through.

It doesn't remember the rest of it. No, so he doesn't remember the beginning, but like the part with the wolf there, that was wild.

You really did have to be there. I literally just saw a video of someone who had an outdoor wedding, and they're like a bear showed up, and you see the bear like or like eating people's food at one table, and then they so glad you said food.

They pan to the table next to them, and the people are still just sitting there eating their dinner. I'm like, whoa, that's a black bear.

But black bears are so sweet and small, and don't know they are not. All bears are killing machines. No, black bear you hug. That's the rule.

Don't do that. If it's brown, you run. If it's black, you hug. If you're listening to this and you're seeing a black bear, as you listen, do not go hug it. It's bad advice.

I will go hug bear, because bear is my favorite, so Brendan and I got a hug bear. Brendan, there's like everything you say, there's a small nugget of truth, surrounded by the gobstopper of insanity, you just said.

I actually really love the phrase gobstopper of insanity. I'm going to use that now. Yeah, that's really good.

When there's a nugget of truth inside of something you can say, there's a gobstopper of insanity.

That really, that really is the ultimate goal of much of my therapy conversations, which is, hey, you're all these behaviors that don't make sense. And in the middle, a little nugget of something that does.

Is that black bear, black bears are the most docile and smallest out of all bears. However, you should not hug.

Don't even try to pet it. Don't go hug a bear. It should be a lock bear, but you can't because it's a bear.

Well, what a couple episodes to talk about as we were playing these were like, which episodes go with which after party? Oh, thank God. Oh, good. We can talk about these two together because there is a real not exactly a cliffhanger, but these are these were a really fun pair for us to play. I'm so glad they they came out in sequence that we can talk with them together in the same after party players. How does you feel listening back to these episodes? Because we're a couple months ahead of really schedule in terms of when we're playing at this point.

And in 2022 time, that's about six months that it feels like between when we played them and when we get to celebrate and hear them with the audience.

I am still just as frustrated as I was in the moment that it was a fake Gutenberg. Yeah, it still drives me up the wall. It was tough. I really consider at the beginning of that fight, just like punching the hologram right away. And just like to test that it was real. I'm sad. And no, instead, you decided to figure out a basketball game.

So what are we thinking?

Girk, can we start there? Yeah, let's start there. Yeah, I'll start there. Hey, here's a peek behind the screen. Did not have game of chance mechanics written down for this.

I mean, the only reason we decided to do that was because it was the reveal that Fritz's power is where luck based, which I also led to a behind the scenes thing,

which is called barred watch, barred watch, where Julia tries to corner me and tell me that my NBC's are barred. I'm like, he's giving inspiration, Eric, is he a barred or isn't he?

Yeah, Julia came over to the studio and fucking like pushed me into the corner and put like two fingers in my chest and like, is Fritz a barred?

And I'm like, no, he's not. Are you sure? Beating you with a liar.
