Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

V-Tubular V-Tubing (feat. Suze Cavalcanti)
Q: What is VTubing and how does it work?
VTubing uses anime-style avatars that are animated in real time, often with Live2D, moving with the streamer's body and webcam input to create a fully formed persona without revealing their face.
Why So Sirus? (feat. Dave Sirus)
Q: Do you think Michael Richards should get a comeback?
It's complicated, as there are so many others who have done worse things and haven't been canceled as severely, but he had a significant public meltdown that warrants discussion.
Why So Sirus? (feat. Dave Sirus)
Q: What was it like getting fired from SNL?
It was a strange experience as I had already started working for Triumph before I was officially fired, and I really enjoyed that work much more.
Arena of Ideas #9
Q: What are your thoughts on Ernest movies?
Robbie expresses clear unwillingness to participate in watching them, citing lack of interest.
Dalton Got Fired
Q: What did you think about your job?
It was a miserable experience, and I didn't like working there for Comcast.
