Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Spirit Halloween with Andrew Farmer
Q: Do you think Spirit of Halloween will be around in 20, 25 years?
Farmer expects it to last because nostalgia has tied the brand to Halloween. The hosts agree that its opportunistic use of vacant retail spaces is a durable business model.
Spirit Halloween with Andrew Farmer
Q: Would you get rid of all the Spirit Halloweens, or not?
Farmer would keep them, saying they already disappear each November and return as a seasonal fixture. The hosts also value the stores as a recurring marker of Halloween.
Warhammer with Merritt K
Q: Which Space Marine Legion in the Horus Heresy have you found yourself painting or making the most of, and do you have one that calls to you?
Merritt says she got into the Night Lords, describing them as brutal, Batman-like characters who have become popular with fans online.
Warhammer with Merritt K
Q: What is your relationship to Games Workshop, Warhammer, et cetera? Are you on a Warhammer journey?
Merritt says she returned to Warhammer casually a few years ago, then bought a Horus Heresy box set and began painting regularly as a relaxing alternative to video games.
Big 5 with Sam Fishell
Q: Sam, what drew you to Big Five for STORES?
Sam explains discovering Big Five through Luke's list, noting a sports-focused yet modest, neighborhood vibe that fit the show's premise.
