I listened to that Fire Escape cast trailer where people started to give Mahardy shit about saying "traller," and have also heard him on the podcast itself where they give him shit every time he says it. I don't hear traller, though. It just sounds like he's saying trailer to me. And I don't say traller myself, so I don't get it. *shrug*

The thing Mahardy says is much closer to "treller" than it is to "trailer." Like, there just is not even the hint of an "ay" vowel sound when he pronounces it.

I've only listened to the first half hour or so, but damn, what a LINEUP!

Jan continues to be a pure and sweet treasure that is too good for this awful world we live in. Jan, never stop being the absolute beacon of hope, positivity, energy and awesomeness that you are :D

This doesn't come as a surprise, Jan being the all-star no matter what he does, but I absolutely love the energy he brings as a host. It's so good to see him MC the podcast, it just feels like a bunch of friends catching up with each other. The collection of guests this week is also exceptional! What a great episode, thanks for the hard work y'all!

Jan is an amazing host! He reminds me a little bit of Ryan and Vinny.

I don't comment tons on the site but I felt to need to hop on and say that this episode was a goddam delight and the host/crew combo on this one had such fun energy. I'll always love the vanillacast, which is the reason I'm a continued premium boi, but this was an awesome treat. Y'all are doing God's work.

Great hosting job from Jan!

The Nintendo lawsuit talk is funny, but kind of misrepresenting what the lawsuit was actually about. I know it's fun to rip on game companiess, but the details do matter.

@janman Not only is Shadow Vegeta, but Silver is Trunks. So much so that it was even confirmed by the developers.

I don’t really find Nebraskans to have a specific accent. You get a more southern accent hear and there but I think it’s fake most of the time to be more ‘country’.

Am I like two weeks late for this? Absolutely, but I'm gonna talk about it anyway.

I think this week's episode was VERY good. I think Jan was a great host and the whole crew came together for a great episode. I especially enjoyed all the food talk because they were so passionate about it. I hope we can get more like these in the future.
