ㅤㅤ ┈─★ i work 10-12 hour night shifts doing repetitive mindless tasks which essentially means that if i don't have something to listen to at work my brain starts melting out of my ears. typically i go for music or dnd podcasts but there is one non dnd podcast i love and it is my brother my brother and me 🙂‍↕️ while this is probably not a widely shared opinion with other listeners, i specifically love their live show episodes. i have all of them in a playlist that i shuffle through at work sometimes when music isn't cutting it anymore. i've been listening to these live episodes for years and years but only today, in the big 25, was i finally able to attend one actually live in person 🎉 this was also the first live thing i've ever gone to by myself so i was a little worried it was gonna be a horrific experience for my anxiety but it ended up being incredible 🙏 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 ㅤㅤ ┈─★ i have never really watched any of their video content before since i listen at work so seeing them in person was so crazy because they really look exactly like they sound 😭 griffin also had a sick lightning mcqueen costume. ㅤㅤ ┈─★ there was a bit where travis said something about federal body inspector and i don't even remember what the original question was because travis and justin were going back and forth adding different words for the F part of FBI and i got to hear the entire crowd audibly gasp in horror as justin unintentionally introduced the words "fatherly body inspector" to the world 💀 ㅤㅤ ┈─★ one of the audience questions was asking what to do with a giant horse kidney stone??? ㅤㅤ ┈─★ there was a munch squad which honestly wasn't nearly as crazy as some of the other munch squads done before, it was about iced tea that they were calling heist tea for the new now you see me movie, but it ended up being one of the funniest parts of the show because like halfway through the whole thing griffin finally realized what the word play was and it had the whole theater dying for like 5 straight minutes lmaooo. ㅤㅤ ┈─★ walking back to the parking garage with everyone else, i ended up walking in front of the person who asked a question about their cute dog. (important to note the dog's name was chopper. excellent name) griffin's advice to his issue was to "trade the dog" like a pokemon and he said he didn't like that part (lol) but he was so excited that they praised his cute dog and said he would repeat that part of the episode when it gets posted which made me smile, humans are so silly and cute. ㅤㅤ ┈─★ the only true negative of this was the knowledge that other stops also got taz (their dnd podcast) live shows but slc did not <//3 or else i definitely would've gone. i hope we get taz next time they tour 🙏🙏 ㅤㅤ ┈ᯓ𖹭 10.22.25 update ㅤㅤ the episode recording was posted!!! listening to it right now is feeling so surreal like wdym i already heard all of this.
