The Giant Beastcast: Episode 59

Yey, my work day audio fulfillment has arrived.

"I tap all my lands and sacrifice boredom to cast The Beast"

Super happy to see this up. I need me some good light hearted beast cast time this morning.

"Smell your thoughts" made me crack up walking down the street. Thanks!

Why move to Arizona for the dry air when you can send your sinuses there in a flying suitcase?

cheers

"Drugs Are Really Excellent"

masterful

SAVAGE!

Ahh. Beastcast. My friday can commence. :)

Yellow mustard is only acceptable when you're at a food cart and you have places to go.

There are over 700 Pokémons. For me only the original 151 of them are real, the rest is made up.

GB needs more Fall.

Get in!

Classic Yellow

French's Classic Yellow mustard is 100% natural? Yep. Stone ground, #1 Grade Mustard Seeds with nothing artificial, period. No corners cut, no weird stuff, just the bright yellow that brings food to life.

Magic? Oooh yes please. Can't wait to hear if Jeff is as misinformed about Magic as he is teachers. :P

For my hot dogs it's ketchup always, mustard optional. Ketchup + mustard is a great combo but I can't do mustard only on my dogs. Chicago style dogs w/ pickles, tomatoes, & peppers and New York style with the sauerkraut are awesome as well.

Someone's writing up a list for a Pokemon/digimon/made-up for next week right?

I can't believe the first 45 minutes of this recording happened AFTER Austin left GB.

When Vinny left west coast Giant Bomb, holy hell did I ever miss his voice, perspective and interaction on the Bombcast. So obviously I was all over Beastcast.

I now find myself surprised at how much I miss Austin! He added so much. I hope you can find a worthy replacement, but it'll be tough. Prior to Austin I couldn't imagine someone replacing Patrick on Giant Bomb staff.

Of course Alex and Nevereverleaveusalar are important too. Wasn't familiar with Jeff prior to Beastcast, but I knew Alex's pre-Giant Bomb East writing and sporadic call-ins, and am so glad his much-appreciated cynicism has a weekly voice to match!

Are there dinosaur ghosts?

And Squirtle does not have a squirrel tail, Alex needs to meet more squirrels.

Ketchup has no place on a hot dog.

But will it be about buying insanely expensive cards?

@mikecardii: There is a place near me that sells nothing but hot dogs, and they absolutely will not put ketchup on it for you. I've heard there are some hot dog stands with opinionated owners who will also refuse.

My non-standard condiment of choice for a hot dog is salsa.

Also just got a little over an hour in. Shout out to my boy h3h3 for bringing the CS:GO skin betting story to the limelight. (Props to Honor the Call as well).

Bakalar touched on my main ghost bugaboo whether someone believes or not - a lot of people seem to discount that they have a human brain that is biological / doesn't always perceive sensory phenomena perfectly. I think having a more dualistic viewpoint like that might let someone accept ghosts easier.

Second ghost bugaboo: asking if you should watch Ghostbusters. It's under 2 hours, got the whole rest of your life scheduled out or something?

Surprised Alex isn't a believer in ghosts, I could totally see him believing that stuff.

So how it seems like this is the perfect place to ask this question: Do you think Eldritch Evolution is gonna get banned in Modern within twelve months? Is it the second coming of Birthing Pod? As MtG experts, you should know the answer to those questions and many more! I know I've come to the right place!

Jokes aside, I'm looking forward to listening to this on the drive back from vacation tomorrow.

Now I'm craving hot dogs at 9:00 am...

I'm not very original, so when they said something about The Manchurian Candidate during the Project Venture talk I tried (and most likely failed) to re-create the poster. Also, I'm super lazy at the moment and don't want to type out the rest of the credits.

Sriracha is the all-in-one condiment. It's real great on a hot dog. Mix that shit with some brown mustard. Great!

Also This is a thing in Japan:

Apparently they get the black color from bamboo charcoal.

@vinny you should be able to find the rooster brand in NJ. That's what my family would buy. You might need to check the "international" aisle despite that brand being Californian.

Vinny is not only a national but an internation treasure. He is pretty much the 8th world wonder.

A damn shame I will never get to see artwork of the Austin era Beastcast crew as Hank, Dean, Rusty, and Brock.

Really enjoying this episode.

Vinny's Pokemon names are amazing... if I were artistically inclined I would try to draw them.

"John, you can not handle this. You wet your pants when I showed you Voyage of the Mimi."

Vinny is on fire this week.

Ah, beastcast. My favorite hotdogs and ghosts podcast.

In re: to the corrections. Isn't the Kong from the original arcade Donkey Kong actually Cranky Kong?

Yes. The tragic part of this potentially endless Mario corrections rollercoaster is that this is all probably explicitly laid out in various places.

Project Venture is probably a standard elementary school gifted programcalldo.g open kfawn bq 1124 ct.0 seven ze:ro

We should have a BBQ sometime

The more wood-working talk, the better.

I love the notion on having high standards on a fuckin hot dog of all things.

Like I can take or leave ketchup on a hot dog, I'm more of a mustard man myself, but places like that just make me wanna bring my own bottle there and make whatever they give me filthy with ketchup.

Woo another Beastcast, thanks for doing it on your vacation guys! Definitely one of the highlights of my week

People in my city fought over tickets to the Long Island Medium. I can't believe how people buy into her b.s. Every time I see her playing on t.v. at the gym I switch to a different machine. She's despicable.

Chicago Dog is absolutely top tier though, I'll also fuck with a coney dog. As long as there's no ketchup anywhere nearby.

sauerkraut doesn't belong on a dog though, Brats only.

I would buy another premium account for a Papa Vinny's Workshop feature

Jeff just went up a few points.

Fuck yeah Alkaline Trio.
