I'm so invested in the lazy acre relationship it's the highlight of each EP for me 😂
Me too 😂
Petition to have a Lazy Acres Update w/ Shane section. 😂
same😭😭
What Shane and Steven have in common is being weird little guys
So true! I hope they see this comment
I’m sure that’s a compliment to them 😅
Shane isn't exactly little though
@@JacobSW. littleliness is a state of mind, not being. you cant see a silly little guy, you can only sense them
PLEASE bring back Weird and/or Wonderful World!!!! One of the most fun and wholesome shows around!
It was literally so good
yes yes yes
omg shane talking about the batmobile that sara got him and immediately knowing he wanted to marry her omg im crying
The ZERO hesitation when Byron asked if he knew at that moment - god it just warms the heart. I always thought Shane was so adorable in that Buzzfeed video, he literally tears up when he opens the gift and finds the batmobile. Now, having a little more backstory and knowing what was going through his head and that it was Sara that orchestrated it... love is real, y'all.
The fact that we got to see that silly flirting video Sara made and that one are a treat for us. But for the two of them and their families to have?? Amazing. 😢
Glad to see Byron on the Pod! He always brings such a chill energy!
Friendly reminder: Powwow's are not chats, meetings, or brainstorming sessions, and shouldn't be used as synonyms for such. Most Powwows are huge, sometimes days long, events that celebrate Indigenous cultures and traditions from across Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. Comparing a chat between friends to a Powwow is like calling your kid's little league game the Olympics. 😆
this! hope they see this comment
I was going to comment this, too. Thanks for sharing this, and it’s a great explanation :)
My thoughts exactly!!
As a nonAmerican hearing them talk about hooters and LA malls for half the podcast was funny because I’m enjoying their conversation without knowing a thing about it
As an American I also don't know what theyre talking about
It's amazing how diverse countries can be. I'm from western Canada, Northern ab eventually to central South sk and I will see lists of Canadian things and I'm like... never once in my life have I seen or used bagged milk.
lol shane "I saw the biggest hooters in clearwater."
"The restaurant, right?"
🤣🤣🤣
I agree with Byron. I think the reason why movies is seen as an art form is the fact that it has more eyes on it, is often more of a personal experience. How often do you go to a theme park by yourself vs sit down and watch a movie by yourself. When I go to a theme park I'm sure that the set design is nice and everything is beautiful and well done but for me I'm there with my friends and all of that is just going to blend into one experience called "I had a good day".
Buzzfeed Unsolved has an "as featured in" segment in the gift shop of the Sarah Winchester Mystery House in San Jose
Hemming my new blouse with you. Love to craft while listening to your shenanigans.
Awesome! I’m stuck at work but they get me through my shift lol
@oooh19 ughh i wish my job would let me listen to podcasts on the clock, i just tuned in for my lunch break
but either way Watcher videos are something to look forward to. i love their friendships, banter, and chemistry @@bustedkeaton
The Fifi the Featherduster story, and the associated shame, is amazing. THAT was the Christmas Tale I needed!
As an Illinois suburb girlie, Shane is 100% right about the Woodfield mall in Schaumburg! I wonder if he's been since all the renovations a couple years ago.
It's sooooo nice, I was just there last weekend!
I need Shane's thoughts on Gurnee Mills.
hyped to see if there's an update on shane vs lazy acres beef
Shane calling oyster disease VRBO and Venmo had me actually laughing out loud 😂
With Ryan's love for theme parks, how about Ghost Files hits up some abandoned parks for a season.
I like the Lazy Acres drama. It’s a good reason to keep coming back! Also, Shane, I’m also really bad at giving gifts. I feel guilty but I also try to make the people I care about feel loved throughout the year to make up for ut
Looking for the Weird (and/or) Wonderful World petition 👀 This could be a show that has a one-off ep each year and I'd be so happy!
Growing up in Louisville, KY, I always saw commercials for Holiday World. Louisville would love to have the Watcher team stop by again! (Also, I'm sure I've commented this already, but the underground zip line in the Louisville Mega Cavern would make for some fun footage.)
Heyyyyyy Louisville resident! I’ve lived in Louisville since my freshman year of college
I also think they could have a great weird time in and around Louisville
I was listening to this at work tonight and sort of zoning out a little, and hearing y'all talking about Holiday World snapped me back to reality. Not often I get to hear about my home area out of the blue like this. Grew up in Southern Illinois and Holiday World is sort of our only park in the area. All the other big/good ones are 4-6 hours away. Would LOVE to see y'all discuss Holiday World more in-depth or even visit!
Ok, I’ll bite: 3 mile island (12:45) is not the location of nuclear or atomic testing. It’s the nuclear reactor meltdown from 1979 in Pennsylvania. But yes Shane, it’s the locus of bad, dangerous shenanigans 😊🎉
I used to work at Holiday World, and I went so many times as a kid! It’s quite fun and the roller coasters are insane. Highly recommend if anyone ever gets the chance to go!
Byron has that vibe like if Jon Snow had a less stressful life, just podcasting from the Wall.
I was HOPING Shane would bring up Woodfield Mall 😩 Went there just a week ago with a group of friends and made a whole day out of it. Highly recommend to my fellow northern IL folks
Shane's turkey dinner looks amazing! Ryan is too foodie! 🍗
Diddy Kong Racing on N64 was my JAMMMMMM
I love oysters, but just read all about vibrio and may stop eating them. Thanks for the tip Shane! (I don't use VRBO or Venmo either haha)
I used to go to Holiday World every year growing up. Haven't been back in a while but it was always fun and you should go. Also, if you fly through Indianapolis I'd recommend the shrimp cocktail at St. Elmo's Steakhouse/Harry & Izzy's. Has a spicy heat that will clear your sinuses.
Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk isn't tied to existing IP characters. We also used to have a Santa's Village but it closed in the 70's. We also had a Frontier Village, now closed.
Shane is right, Woodfield Mall is awesome, so was Hawthorne in Mundelein. Haven't been there in years now but grew up in the area. I remember our moms would go drink at the bar and we would just wander the mall for hours when we were little lol. That wouldn't happen these days.
Holiday World is a lot of fun but Splash ´N Safari is the best part of it tbh. I believe it also contends with Knotts Berry Farms for the title of World’s First Theme Park
As a SoCal valley kid I enjoyed the mall talk so very much. Westfield Topanga was my local growing up and always has a special place on my heart, but Irvine Spectrum is pretty great. And nobody can deny the Grove
Topanga has really stepped up its game in recent years too, they just opened a new dining hall and the movie theater... in an age where most malls are dying topanga is one of the few thats expanding
@@danieIIemydear right?! It got so fancy!
See you in the New Year guys 🎉
in terms of theme parks - i’d argue that there are at least some rides that i know of that are definitely not marketed for children. main example that comes to mind is The Smiler at Alton Towers (UK) (also i’d love to see an episode of for your amusement about that coaster actually)
and to the point about everyone being able to see movies and not everyone being able to go to theme parks, a step further is not only is everyone able to see movies but they're also able to see some of the best movies ever made that really show what makes movies high Art. but commonly even if a person is able to go to an amusement park, it's often a dinky roving carnival in a parking lot that passes through every few years. At the end of the day Haunted Mansion might be high Art and the top of it's field but in the grand scheme of things very very few people get to experience it whereas more people have experienced goofy rigged together haunted house carnival rides
I ate 40 mcnuggets 2 super-sized fries and orange hi-c's, I forgot to ask for sauce and ended up using ranch from home. I don't eat ranch dressing anymore.
As someone who’s profession is sound design, I can assure you that myself and many others in my field see theme parks as art :)
As a plain burger eater this episode made me feel very validated. I get a lot of shit from people but I don’t want anything but burger and cheese.
Love these podcasts, guys! Please keep doing them ☺️ BTW, my husband is a Hoosier and told me about Holiday World. He told me when he was a kid, there were dancing chickens.. They are no more.. If you knew how they made them dance then you would understand.
"Ultimate simplicity brings purity. Enjoy your sushi."
Hands you a fish.
I too watch food on the the screen while exercising.
always a nice way to start the monday!!!
Fun fact: the great america in California and in illinois used to be owned by Marriott and they designed them to look the same. When you enter either park they look the same as the other
100% still have my PS2 hooked up with PS1 and 2 games ready to go. And yet... Something about the N64 does tap into childhood nostalgia, true.
I love a good shopping day at Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, IL
My family LOVES holiday world. I’m pretty sure it was the first theme park I ever went to. FREE SUNSCREEN FREE SOFT DRINKS FREE PARKING!
del amo in torrance is the best mall sooo much to do! n it soooo nice
I love the lazy acres updates
is the miracle sheets any good and do you actual get the refund if you don't like
1:08:00 It's hilarious how Yorkshires bark LMAO my sister had one and let me tell you, running from a dog so small it looks like a rat is very humiliating
Ryan, there are countries with cinemas and internet but have no theme parks lol
so pretty sure more people have seen a movie than been on the Haunted Mansion xD still love u guys lots tho! lol
Hell yeah Woodfield mall!!
.... I have my playstation out all the time to play 🎮! Also N64, SNES and Nes. But I love my PS1!
Shane's right; oyster meat should be small. I ate some massive oysters at Magpie Cafe in Whitby, England. I was not in a good place afterwards. 🤢🤢🤢
I'll sit in for Lim any day!! Loving the content #ghoulboys 👍🏻
I live in Santa Claus, IN. The Voyage will seriously beat you up. If you want to make a video on the park, let me know. I can get you in touch with the current owners if need be. Keep up the great content!
I think Ryan might be talking about a filmbro
Lol I shouldn't let my BF know about that Blue funko Pop thing, he knows I hate that movie and he loves to rile me up with it.
Ironically I ate at the Culver’s in Clearwater before watching ghost files
Byron and Shane have the same food palate. Don't try to understand Ryan. 😂And the commercial makes me think Shane needs to be a voice actor...😊well, done guys from an older audience member.
I love gift cards and cash as a gift. I always feel guilty shopping for frivolous things so I always say that gift cards are the gift of shopping with money that's not my own
Immediately associating George Clinton with good burger helps me feel less alone in the world
HUGE Watcher Fan, here... 🤔how'd ya'll avoid watching film 'Earthlings' this long? 😅
hi!! love the pod and happy to hear from byron, but i wanted to say that hearing him use the word “powwow” in the way he did was a bit disappointing. no hate, just wanted to point that out and provide constructive criticism!
Byron! 🧡
PLEASE GO TO HOLIDAY WORLD I LOVE HOLIDAY WORLD BRUHHH RATE SOMETHING THERE IN FOR YOUR AMUSEMENT IM BEGGING
YESSSS 1 HOUR AND A HALF
I know someone who worked on Rise of the Resistance. I think you can find a group of people who will share your enthusiasm its just a niche because its costly
dunno if this was deliberate but theres no drop down text below the video btw !!
Those brick walls are driving me crazy are they real or a wallpaper ?! 😭
Where might I find information about advertising on watcher pods? I'm a (very!) small biz owner!
I feel like that little dog sounds like that because it likely had its vocal cords changed to not bark loud. People that live in apts and places where you can get in trouble for loud dogs do it often. I don't like it, but it is a thing
Hooters had an Airline in the late 90s to the late 2000s
In general I feel gift cards are impersonal. While I appreciate a coffee card it just leaves me feeling meh. Now a gift card for movies + cash for snacks hit a little different but still gives me work to do lol. About 10 years ago my son’s dad gave me a gift certificate to Elizabeth Grady ($250)…. They have zero services I would use, I’m not into facials, etc … it’s still in a drawer 😑 would have rather had cash at that point. My personality is someone who pays attention year round to the little comments my friends/family makes and take notes. If my friend says something like I’d like a new keurig, etc and I see they didn’t buy one before the holidays that’s the first thing I’m going to get them.
Have you guys ever considered Silver Dollar City in the Mecca that is Branson, MO?
I LOVE YOU
Ryan having no concept of how few people on Earth actually get to go to theme parks 😅 you never heard of poverty bro?
WRT to gift cards. Give me all the gift cards. I rather the gifter be lazy and give me a gift card for me to buy what I want then give me a gift I don't and I have to go exchange it or see what to do about it.
I wonder what they think about Mexican shrimp cocktails, which are more of an antree than an appetizer
eating Culver's while I'm watching this. CREEPY!
Debating Jiro/Hiro while mispronouncing sushi
In my part of the woods, we pronounce it - “year-o”
A little spicy is good for wings.
You guys are sleeping on the Santa Anita mall tho. Just saying ;p
you releasing this every Monday and therefore giving us something to look forward to that day was such an act of charity and kindness. tbh
I was just thinking this it's so comforting to watch
It’s Tuesday for me but still the beginning of the week is always the most boring that’s why I look forward to this
Right? This makes my week tbh since it’s on a Monday
😂😅 5:15 😅😮😅😂😅😅😮😮😂😅 6:12 6:13 😅🎉@@apeiceofgarbage9848
Props to Byron for getting his sentences in when Ryan and Shane always have something to say about everything 😂😂 this my fav RUclips channel for real
This is my petition to get an episode with Ryan, Shane, Steven and Ricky Wang
I love Ricky 🥹
YESSSSS
Omg please do this Watcher!!!!
Yesss! Ricky when I catch you Ricky
shane is so real. "i like to go on computer" dont we all bestie. dont we all
The Lazy Acres saga continues!
I really enjoy watching people talk about things that they love, so Ryan going on his passionate ode to amusement parks was just really wholesome.
That entire Fifi-part was just gold, such sibling vibes. That's 100% something me and my sibs would do.
Now i have to search for that awkward moment between Steven and Shane 😂
There was a moment on the top 5 beatdown on the chips ep😂😂
last? no, two eps of this ago. Ryan gets up to get the takeout order. except its not awkward at all it's. really lovely and they have a cute little chat shane is just LYING for COMEDY
Lazy Acres should become a sponsor for this podcast otherwise Shane will continue to poke fun at them and who knows what else this weird man will do to get what he wants 😭🤣
IT'S A WATCHER POD DAY!! thanks yall i needed this today! Great to have Byron on this pod, podception HAHA😂
Shane's ad reads are so unserious and I love that about them.
In college I went to the opening of a new Hooters (as a straight woman who loved wings😂) with my frat friends and we all got free cards that were good for free wings for a year. I have never eaten so much chicken in one year since.
This is my relaxation podcast, if I accidentally zone out for 5 mins I don’t miss a thing, very comforting
I love hearing about lazy acres 😆
I had no idea you were supposed to peel a shrimp until my dad told me, I was in my late teens and it blew my mind
Did you just think they were extra crunchy 😂😂😂
Good Lord you never went to Spain in those years
Idk if anyone knows this but a lot of people just eat everything including it’s shell
@@thatgirl9532 you can with some prawns but deffo not others 😅
also on theme parks: they are so expensive to get into. disneyland isn't a universal, widely accessible thing like film, books, videogames, etc. i can appreciate theme parks and fancy rides as art, but ill probably never experience them so i don't have an opinion on them, you know?
Obligatory algorithm pleasing comment~
