BTW we found out that "walkabout" is a colonizer term for an aboriginal practice and that it's often used derisively when people are late, or things like that, so we changed the episode name everywhere but here! We had no idea about this with our lack of australian awareness so we'll mention it on the next show.

Oh, we didn't address it!! We should figure it out.

I look forward to the inevitable "Oops! All Jaffes" episode in the future

mathew kumar DMed me after the show to say “hey can you make sure that part at the end where I say I don’t hate the listeners makes it in? I don’t actually want to get voted off the island” so I’m very sure he’s happy to hear that. -Esper

I am here for guests of the show, and even the hosts, having utter contempt for the dirtbag listeners.

Wow, what a reference to mariomonsters.com! That was the very first thing I was ever involved with online, when I was in fact still a little kid. A guy named David drew the pictures, but I wrote a lot of the entries!

Alex Jaffe

yeah this was a great episode. the discrepancy in brandon and frank's memories of the IGN "shots" walk-out music was particularly fun, did you not settle that in-episode or did i miss it? hope you address it in a follow-up next week if not!

I loved this! Ever since I saw the guest host Alex Jaffe's GDC talk I had hoped you'd somehow acknowledge his existence, and you did so in an unimaginably fun way. And congratulations to the regular Alex Jaffe for getting his second vaccination round!

Dan Cantu

I would love to hear a double Alex Jaffe podcast in the future!

Robert Rostant

would be so good if alex jaffe subbed for alex jaffe for any future absences as well
