Casual Introduction and Episode Planning
00:00:31
Speaker
I'm going to count this back in. I'm not cutting that. That is just going to be the start of this episode at this point. All right. Fair enough. Hello, pod workers. Welcome to another episode of The Gobbler Podcast. If that opening didn't give us a clue of our mental state, just wanted to say this week, we took a break last week and kind of
00:00:55
Speaker
We're kind of going to take a break a little bit this week. This is going to be a quick episode. There's a few important things we want to talk about, but not a full episode topic-length things. Just a few more housekeeping-y things. And also, we didn't want to go two weeks without an episode. We just want to keep checking in.
00:01:14
Speaker
it's
Consistency and Mental Health Awareness Month
00:01:15
Speaker
really is a is a behind the scenes things it's really easy to get out of the habit and so it's good to not get out of the habit of meeting up with your co-hosts which i think is you know that's why i joke that i'm just leaving that in at this point because you know it's been a bit you know we we're coming out of mental health month and we actually had recorded our last episode for that you know a week or so before the end of the month and now we didn't
00:01:36
Speaker
You know, last week was just, it was hectic. It was the end of Mental Health Month. It was in the Memorial Day. And so like, it just feels like that's where we are. And we were kind of like, wow.
00:01:47
Speaker
we could end up going another week. Well, why don't we just get on and talk? Yep. So we got a few quick things we want to hit. I think we're a week just start going into that. The first thing we want to do is is giveaways there. We have five, six because I missed no five because I keep going wrong. Five, five total giveaways. Two plus one plus one plus one.
00:02:13
Speaker
It's been a long time since I played magic. My math skills are getting rusty. Five giveaways for our month-long giveaway we were doing in May for mental health awareness. We were asking people to donate money to mental health charities and send us proof. And we're going to give some stuff. And you did. Y'all did. Y'all did. We got responses. Really? People like stuff. It turns out. And apparently people also like helping mental health stuff, which is wonderful.
00:02:42
Speaker
Yeah, we really want to thank everybody that this was a big part of the push this second year in a row. We really have pushed for having mental health MTG, the hashtag being kind of a part of it that was started. DM underscore cross sat somebody that he had approached us last year about this hashtag. And we kind of used it last year to have some conversations. I tweeted a lot underneath it. The podcast last year really
00:03:12
Speaker
Did all episodes related to mental health basically? I think we had one like non mental health episode just as the way time fell this year We were much more intentional about it. We're
Mental Health Charity Collaborations
00:03:23
Speaker
much more prepared We had it all we had all the episodes mapped out before the the month really got rolling, which I was surprised That's not that's not typically we're let we're pulling back the curtain here to let you all know that is not typical No
00:03:40
Speaker
So we had this giveaway set up, so we're going to do that. We're going to do those prizes. Before we kind of actually do the formal giving away, I want to just talk a little bit about Mental Health MTG and kind of what that month was for us. May is Mental Health Awareness Month. That's what we were trying to honor. So all of our topics.
00:04:01
Speaker
We're really going to hit on that. So what we did this past month, if you missed, you can still go back. We talked first with, we talked with ALK alters about mental health hospitalization. I mean, actually a pretty heavy, serious topic to kind of hit on. Yeah, it's one of the probably the most heavy, serious topic episodes we've had in a while. Yeah, yeah.
00:04:29
Speaker
So we did that to start off the month. Then we followed up with Chase back on the show after kind of a break away. We hadn't been able to work schedules out. And I think that was kind of funny because the op, the episode we talked about with her was burnout.
00:04:43
Speaker
We talked about—we talked with Taya, Taya Steer, who's a big supporter of this cast. And, you know, we've actually already given away an item that was kind of part of our giveaway to her. So she donated a deck, one of the ones that we're giving away. On top of that, there was a mental health stream.
00:05:01
Speaker
And the mental health stream was to, so we partnered with a lot of other mental health creators this month. And we did an all day of streaming commander to raise money for NAMI in particular. So nami.org, the National Alliance of Mental Illness is the main organization that we kind of talked about supporting. A lot of times you can support them at your local level. So if you support like NAMI Minnesota, the money stays in Minnesota.
00:05:29
Speaker
For the stream, we did broader. We did just NAMI as an organization. And that raised over $5,000, which... Just incredible. I do not have words, honestly. Creators stepped up to bring on guests that were big names, heavy hitters.
00:05:55
Speaker
other creators were giving things away on top of that. We kept telling everybody, come give us proof. Just kind of jump in, give us proof. I saw a lot of the listeners and people from our Discord hop in and watch games and hang out. Taya and I played a game together. I played my artist proof deck. Finally, turns out mana echoes plus Grenzo is not really fair. Because you start generating mana, and then every time a goblin comes into play, it generates a lot of mana.
00:06:24
Speaker
So yeah, I gambled a way of victimize that would have let me put into play Sling Gang Lieutenant and Siege Gang Commander, which if I hadn't have gambled it away on turn 4 would have netted me
00:06:39
Speaker
81 mana that I could have dumped into then Grenzo activations, which would have been 40. And then any I hit beyond that would automatically have produced 10 mana then 11. So each goblin would then be five activations, six activations, etc. I played my entire deck on the turn after
Reflection on Workload and Mental Health Practices
00:06:58
Speaker
that.
00:06:59
Speaker
So, but Tay and I played, Titus jumped in and he got us started with the means for donating to get us up to $420. And Tay had already donated a significant amount and then dropped like another $270 just to get us up to $690.
00:07:20
Speaker
So she won a, um, we were given an artist's proof, um, that somebody donated with a sketch from Lucas Graciano. And we already gave that way to Taya because it was for the highest donation. So, um, but we did that episode. We did, uh, Taya and was on and talked about autism with us. And then finally we finished off the month with Jeff Laubenstein talking about his goblin project.
00:07:49
Speaker
It was a busy month, Alex. It really was. And I felt it. I will say that, like I felt it by the end of it. You know, I just felt like it was funny. We had talked about the burnout and you know, I just felt that I was right up along that line, that line that we've talked about with chase of spoons and spell slots.
00:08:09
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Yeah, and it's it can it can happen fast even with things you care about like and that's why we Literally, you said we literally talked about that this month. Mm-hmm talking about burn it out and it's It's something
00:08:25
Speaker
something to watch for. But that's why we took a week off and we know, you know, we really appreciate that our listeners understand, like, that we're practicing what we preach when we take time off to take a break and to recharge because that's
00:08:41
Speaker
We're trying to talk about mental health and raise awareness and talk about these topics and make a place for these conversations. But that means it's important for us to kind of do the same thing. And it helps a lot. I know, maybe I'm speaking for you a little bit here, Hopps, but I know the fact that we talk about these things makes it a lot easier for me to actually hold myself accountable to follow through on these. It's really easy to
00:09:06
Speaker
give other people a break that you don't give yourself. But by talking through these things, it's easier for me to look at myself and say, no, no, we just talked about this. Burnout is a thing. Take a break. Take some time. Recharge.
00:09:18
Speaker
And I think we try to model the good communication. We said why it was, right? We try to practice the assertive piece in terms of we care about consistency. We know consistency is important. And we know we're not going to hit every week. We're going to hit most. We've been able to.
00:09:39
Speaker
That could change. Someday we might need to take a hiatus or a break. Who knows? But what we care about is that we're telling people. And we have. And also, it's part of the destigmatization. Maybe that's a word, maybe that's not, but it works. It is a word, yeah. Is talking about that and being open about that. That's part of
00:10:02
Speaker
The thing that we're trying to kind of push back against the mental health is often stigmatized is misunderstood, because it's stigmatized, it's also misunderstood because it's not talked about, but it's not talked about because it's stigmatized because it's not understood because it's just the cycle.
00:10:18
Speaker
I was really worried
Song Structure and Podcast Planning
00:10:19
Speaker
that you were caught in a loop there, like that you were just on like skip. I was like, Oh no! That I was going lamb chop with the song that never ends, which is a reference I make all the time. And I'm surprised it took us a hundred plus episodes for me to make it with that. To get to lamb chop? I know. Well.
00:10:36
Speaker
It's the song that never ends. For some reason, the recursiveness of that song just fascinated me as a child, how the last line leads back into the first line, which leads into the last line in just this recursive loop. It's something that parents love. Well, and this, I think, also shows a lot of my male characteristics because it is a very male way to appreciate something, I think.
00:11:05
Speaker
So it's like, because the song is about it never ending, and it is structurally set up to recurse perfectly. You know, yeah, 99 bottles of beer on the wall has a set and date and, you know, a set beginning and end. It's also clear on that. It's kind of a, you know, we have not done like the Melvin versus Vorthos of songs. I know we just did our first music one, but, you know, the structure versus the content.
00:11:31
Speaker
See, we're already starting to start planning for the future. That is never an issue. We have a planning document that's
Third Anniversary Episode Ideas
00:11:38
Speaker
pages long. That never gets shorter because we keep adding to it. You know something else that we actually did this year, Alex? Well, I guess we haven't done yet, but we are doing. We're remembering that we have an anniversary coming up. That's right. It didn't sneak up on us. We actually talked about this even back at the beginning, end of April, before May.
00:11:59
Speaker
we talked about this we actually did so uh why don't we expertly segue into that topic of this short episode so in this month june and ripped to be you know i i came up with the exact date it's within the next couple of weeks will be our third anniversary as a cast um it was it was june three years ago math is hard
00:12:22
Speaker
We recorded our first episode and posted it, well, a little bit later because our first episode was lost and we had to re-record the first episode. You mean the re-recorded? When we posted the re-recorded version of that episode.
00:12:36
Speaker
Yeah. So what we want to do, last year I know you and I talked, did kind of a retrospective, which was fun and I love it. And, and, but we did that and I'm sure we'll do it again, but it's like, I was thinking I want to do something different. And so inspired by the year three, um, I thought it would be fun if you and I did something that was maybe about the cast, but maybe just a little more personal and do some like top three lists, you know? And.
00:13:02
Speaker
we could come up with a few things ourselves, and it would probably make for a fun episode, because you and I have talked with less content than, like, started with less substance and come up with a conversation from there. But it would be a lot more fun, I think, and probably an overall better episode if, you know, listeners in the community pitch in some ideas and some things that you want us to talk about. And so top three items, if you want to send them to,
00:13:29
Speaker
Yes, either just email them to goblinlorepod at gmail.com or sorry, that is a lie. Goblin Lore Pod is how you can find us on Twitter and you can DM the cast there. goblinlorepodcast at gmail.com is the full email address.
00:13:50
Speaker
So yeah, either of those ways, either of those ways and send them to us. So we know top threes of things. And then the other rule that we set is we'll get the topics from y'all. Alex and I are not going to share with each other what any of our answers are prior to actually sitting down.
00:14:09
Speaker
No, so
Fourth Street Fantasy Convention Overview
00:14:10
Speaker
we will that will the conversation that will lead from that will be purely organic. And organic is a nice way to say chaos. Oh, excellent. Yes. Yeah, it's a really. It's a very nice way of you for you to put things. That's the writer in you to to purify or just flat out the fact that it could be a hot mess. Oh, yeah. I mean, I hope it's a hot mess. I probably and not a hot dish. Oh, I mean, actually, either one, tater to a dish man.
00:14:37
Speaker
Except it's really hot out right now. Hot dish isn't great when it's in my air conditioner. I don't think it works right. But anyway, that is, I would say not another, another episode, but it's actually not another episode. That is another conversation that we want to have while recording. Oh, anyway. So that's that. We'd love to hear from you. Love that. Yeah. So we can third year anniversary, June 18th. I thought it was that I did confirm June 18th. Okay. June 18th of 2018.
00:15:07
Speaker
Very nice. So then, as we're kind of wrapping things up, I do have one thing I want to kind of plug. There is a convention I go to every year, except for COVID year. Sort of, actually, because I did an online thing and I was doing it anyway. There's a local Minneapolis convention called Fourth Street Fantasy Convention. They are a small con. It's very literature-focused.
00:15:33
Speaker
you know, that's a lot of the things that I bring to the cast. I talk about narrative, I talk about things. Former guest Reinhard is a friend who I met at this convention.
00:15:44
Speaker
I love going to it, but it's in Minneapolis every year. I try to recommend that people come, but it's really hard for people who aren't in Minneapolis to make it to that. Well, last year, because of COVID, they released some podcasts that they recorded like panels. So those are still out there on their website. Those are available for free and are great to listen to if you want to
00:16:07
Speaker
to download and listen to those. But this year in 2021, and actually the week of the, I think it's the weekend of the 19th through the 21st, whatever that Friday, Saturday, Sunday are right around 1920, somewhere in that range, is when the convention is going to be held this year. It's going to be online entirely. There is registration for it and they are asking for a $20 donation to help the convention, but it is pay what you can.
00:16:33
Speaker
So if you don't have that, don't feel you have to pay that. Don't worry about it. Just you can register. And I love this convention. I think there's a lot of great people who go and they talk about some really deep and interesting topics, dig into narrative and story structure. There's some weird stuff they're going to do this year. So they've got the panels listed. I don't have it in front of me. We'll get a link thrown in the show notes by the time we're done recording.
00:17:00
Speaker
wasn't that organized right now, but I know the email today. And this is just the weird, so they have other things going on, like they have writer workshops and stuff, which they aren't doing this year, because that's kind of a good physical space thing. But so this year, because it's all digital, one of the things that they want to do is they want to talk about like life in the before and the after of an apocalypse. And the way they are going to do this is, I believe it's writer CL Polk, and I'm going to feel bad if I got their name wrong.
00:17:29
Speaker
is going to stream so it's good they're gonna be in discord so you can you just join you know get discord for free get on there and this author is going to go through World of Warcraft in the classic servers of the game before
00:17:46
Speaker
the third expansion, which is called Cataclysm, and then go through on the Cataclysm server to literally show the before and after on this continent that happened before this Cataclysm where a giant dragon decided to break a bunch of shit.
00:18:04
Speaker
That's awesome. That's really cool. That is so cool, and that's just the thing. If you're registered for the convention, this is when it's going to happen. I have to look at the specific details of that, but it's part of the registration that just popped up today. That's one of the reasons I love this place. They will get up there. They've had some panels about games.
00:18:23
Speaker
There's some people there who haven't played a lot of games. But even the people for whom they haven't played video games, they can respect that there is narrative and things there. And it's interesting. So they'll have panels where people who have played games will get up and talk about how there was a few years ago, there was a panel about how narrative structure changes with an interactive media and how different people have kind of approached that and how it's weird and different in this sort of new frontier in storytelling.
00:18:52
Speaker
Um, which was just, I mean, even in, you know, I was thinking even in the structure of our cast and how we've evolved, you know, just, I don't, you know, if we, if we didn't have an interactive kind of component or ways that we were interacting and say, even our discord, you know, I think of that as being, for instance, you know, like I love our discord. I think they have greatly helped shape.
00:19:11
Speaker
Cast and like little changes in it and things that we've done and let me like I think it's it's an interesting thing to see getting that feedback in I think the You know like in a quicker period of time than you might say Previously for writers where it may have been like between books or you know, like there's a lot more legacy that
00:19:32
Speaker
Yeah, before the internet age, you'll hear from your editors and maybe your beta readers and things, but you're not gonna hear from general public, except from maybe a few times a year, you're at a convention, you're at a signing, and you're gonna hear little bits from people who are walking by, or maybe at a panel or something, but you're not getting a lot of that in a more consistent way, or maybe someone writes a letter, but again, there's a much higher barrier to do that, to give that feedback and to kind of get that.
00:19:59
Speaker
because it's just, it's interesting. And so if any of that sounds interesting to y'all, check out Fourth Street Fantasy Convention. It's happening in the middle of June, I think the 19th to the 20th, 21st, somewhere there. It's a full weekend.
00:20:14
Speaker
talking about, there's going to be some things coming, you know, down that are still conventions are not going to be widespread again, not yet. And there's, you know, like, last year, we were going to participate in a local con about the podcast. And you know, that still that still hasn't been but you know, like, I may be presenting, you know, some data got accepted in from our D&D for social anxiety group. So there may be the potential to share some of that stuff, you know, to cross that line between my professional and my
00:20:42
Speaker
Podcast life, we may be able to share some of that stuff as it comes up. And if there's these opportunities where they're either free or they may be more widely open than they had been in the past even for a small donation or something. So yeah.
00:20:58
Speaker
wanted to get out there and plug that I know I've mentioned them a few times in the past and that's if if a lot of that stuff that I bring to the cast is interesting to you at least check it out go check the website they've got the list for the panels for this year and kind of the stuff that's that's available that they're planning to do that'd be interesting to see what they actually do with a
00:21:15
Speaker
a full convention. I said last year they did a few podcasts that were fun. Based on the convention, like based on that panel style and the way they do panels is, I love it, it's hard, I don't want to sit and spend too much time but it's great. And actually part of one of the things at Fourth Street, especially being a smaller convention, the audience is part of the community in a very organized and constructive way because often audience trying to be part of panels can be
00:21:41
Speaker
more of a mess in in other things but this con hasn't really figured out and part of it is is just the crowd who tends to go there there isn't it's people who are more interested in the craft and who are more interested in sort of those specific more nitty-gritty things and it's a smaller it's a smaller and it's smaller and and the physical con is actually capped attendance i think it's like 225 or something is the cap they've never actually hit it but 2019 they were close they talked about in closing ceremonies that they were
00:22:09
Speaker
pretty close. So they weren't like, you know, register early if you want to come. But now this year, again, online, there's no there's no changes things, right? And it'll be interesting to see how it changes, as you said, the interactive piece, right? Like if you could have a much larger audience, yeah, is that going to change the con itself? Yeah, well, and they actually last year was fun. So they had like the panelists would do the podcast, or they would do the panel, quote unquote. And then at the end of the panel, they had people who were part of the
00:22:39
Speaker
usually called concom, like the convention committee who kind of run the convention, who were just listening to the panel, who then piped in audience questions at the end to kind of facilitate more conversation and to, again, sort of facilitate that same sort of feel that the convention had.
00:22:59
Speaker
And actually I had a group of friends who used to go, you know, we meet up at the convention every year. We listened to all of those episodes on Discord together. We just scheduled times to get together and listen to them like a panel, because then we would talk. And that was one of the best things about that convention for me was not just going to the panels, but then like afterwards going to the bar and talking to everyone. Because one of the big things of this con, which isn't really going to matter too much now, but it's single track programming.
00:23:27
Speaker
because it's small, they never have multiple things scheduled at the same time. There's a single thing going on at any given time, and you don't have to go to everything, but it means that anything that happened, everyone else could have gone to. So if you just see a random person with a fourth street registration badge sitting in the bar, you've got some common touch points to talk to them about. Be like, hey, what was your favorite panels? You have some immediate things. And then the con also did a lot of good stuff
00:23:56
Speaker
They had volunteers who would gather people up to go grab dinner if you didn't have anything to go with you just found someone who had their hand raised and well actually they had little whiteboards and they'd say what restaurants they were going to because there was a bunch in the area and so it's just
00:24:09
Speaker
The con was great, and especially it was the first convention I went to as someone with social anxiety. It was just so great. And yeah, they really sound like they've made an effort to make it a welcoming environment. Exactly. And the people were welcoming and warm, but they also went out of the way to specifically create systems to help facilitate people being as involved as they wanted to be.
00:24:35
Speaker
And so I could talk about that for much longer than I already have. So let's we move on. You know, I would say, you know, if you like the type of stuff that Alex kind of brings when we talk about the story narrative and we talk about structure and that those pieces that go into that creativity and then the sci-fi episode, go back and listen to it. Reinhardt, who was on that, actually has now written for Wizards, which is kind of a spoiler for something that we're we have in the works is bringing him back now that he, you know, he he when we met with him last, he had not done this yet.
00:25:04
Speaker
And you know, so if you like those things and you know what he brought to that sci-fi episode what Alex brings I think
Giveaways and Community Engagement
00:25:12
Speaker
on a regular basis and that's type of stuff you enjoy for Street might be worth checking out Last thing before we go into the actual just giveaway Thank you to grinding coffee company which I realized afterwards I never reached out to to say that we were doing giveaways and
00:25:29
Speaker
And I just happened to be talking to one of the people who like manage all of the like social media and the pieces and I mentioned it and they're like, yeah, we totally would have given you guys stuff to give away. Right, right. Of course, like yes, of course, because we're professionals now and we know how sponsorships work and we keep all this stuff in our heads. No, we're just goblins in it. We learn as we go. That's a big lesson. We learn as we go.
00:25:53
Speaker
So next year, hopefully still doing this, I'm going to remember to reach out to Grinding Coffee Company, who is a, I mean, still very appropriate for this month. You know, they are a black owned LGBT RAN, so they are a company that is very embracing of pride in not just a matter of kind of the corporate changing to like their logo, they are actually an LGBT company. If you're looking to support them,
00:26:21
Speaker
You can go to our Twitter. We have our link to our affiliate link. If not us, use somebody like LA the veil or Amanda who shakes the world. These are other great creators that also we all kind of work with them. So yeah, we want to do that before we get to the giveaway. So Alex, what are we giving away?
00:26:42
Speaker
first. Well, I just I'll go right through the list that I have. Yeah, let's let's let's do the let's do the goblin decks. You've got details on those. So so we have two goblin decks. So we have a Grenzo deck that did
00:26:59
Speaker
was put together with the help of at barbarians rid one so barbarians riddle so who's been on this cast doing the episode with us and michelle on killy and lou had sent me a goblin deck a long time ago um just to kind of do whatever with and i had held on to it for a while um because we didn't weren't sure what to do we were going to give it away as part of the the tellurian academy giveaway and the winner never claimed it so
00:27:23
Speaker
Unfortunately, that means it's great for everybody else because we already had a deck ready to go. And I didn't have to scrounge around for even more goblins through my collection. And another thing that happened with this deck is while we were working on this, Ursa, Ursa bear, plane, Ursa, Ursa bear walker. It's like I know it's planes walking and bears and Ursa. Ursa, you are SA as in a bear, not Ursa, even though it's a play on that too.
00:27:52
Speaker
So they donated a altered sudden spoiling for the deck as well as some lands to upgrade. So we had this posted on our thing for quite a while. It comes with a Ultra Pro
00:28:12
Speaker
Boulder case, I don't know what these cases are. So drag and chilled sleeves, everything. So this is what we put together and we are going to pull the first winner. And the first winner is at MTG Wraps Andrew. Andrew, hopefully you are listening. If not, I'm going to be very upset just because I know that that's somebody who
00:28:36
Speaker
has been listening to us for quite a while, but Andrew, you won the first goblin deck. So yes, Alex, what do we have next? All right. Well, we.
00:28:49
Speaker
Let's just do the other guy to be clever and I just tired We're gonna do it. It's uh, this is this was donated by taya transcends. It is a version of her to ready deck I Actually need to so I she had asked me
00:29:10
Speaker
Yes, so I do the deck list is available. It is a definitely less more of a goblin focused deck and more of a dirty artifact theme deck. It is a lot of fun. She played it on stream in the midst of when I was playing my goblin deck. So she played the deck that she was going to give away also. So that one is going to go to
00:29:35
Speaker
at Metal Oopis, who I believe is like a neighbor, if I'm like to us in terms of a state or two away, if my mind serves me correctly. So that one will be nice and easy for me to ship, or maybe I'll just drive it on down or something. That's something you do in the Midwest. Yeah. Cool. All right. Well, then next, let's give away Goblin Festival. Goblin Festival, yeah. Signed print by Jeff Laubenstein. Signed print.
00:30:04
Speaker
And that is going to go ahead and go to Phil at blind white bird, I believe is the it's it's it's it has no vowels in it, but it looks like that. So it is either a blonde white bird or blind white bird or a bard of some sort. All of these are possible. But Phil,
00:30:29
Speaker
Get ahold of us. Uh, so I guess I should like mark down somewhere as we're doing this. I remember who gets what. Oh yeah. Yeah. You should probably do that. I'm doing that now. I'll fill, I'll fill the air. Don't worry. I got it handled. You do that and I'll just stand right here for a second and this will all make the cast. Cause we're both tired right now. Um,
00:30:49
Speaker
Yeah, we got another print. All right, we got one more print. So this is this print is a is another Jeff Laubenstein signed print of a goblin sitting on a beer barrel looks very Germanic says magic time on it and the goblin has a Stein in one hand and magic cards in front of them. Sounds very appropriate. And that is going to go to at Quanna 177.
00:31:17
Speaker
All right. And finally, we got one more giveaway. We've got a bunch of goblin tokens, tokens in general, tokens in general. Yeah, these are just tokens in general that were donated by
00:31:35
Speaker
at SDS underscore UNM, who also just, he wanted to know, hey, can I give something away? Had a bunch of Jeff Miracola tokens and Jeff Miracola signed tokens. I don't even know what's fully in this because I just opened it up and there's some that are from Jeff's just sites and some, there is goblin token, there is an eight token in here, there's some Beebles, which I am unsure if they're signed or not, but there's a lot of cool stuff in here.
00:32:00
Speaker
Just a treasure trove of tokens. Very nice. If you like tokens, this is just kind of a fun little token pack. And that is going to go to fashionneastnetesta at fnetesta. And that is actually somebody that may be coming on the show soon.

00:32:32
Speaker
all right so that's our giveaway that's a giveaway i believe that is just about everything except you've got something going on this weekend so yes i do um so uh if people know um magic with zuby and pixie kitten um who do a show magic for normies or magic with normies um they did a recent wrestling style promo um and i know that there's a big
00:32:58
Speaker
overlap in the magic community between kind of magic fans and wrestling fans. And they did kind of
Upcoming Events and Charity Initiatives
00:33:06
Speaker
promo videos and then trash talking diss videos and leading up to an event. Well, like the joke went around like, okay, well, is this going to become a thing? And somebody's like, well, people need to do this. And I was like, well, fine, I'll take a blood feud.
00:33:18
Speaker
And so that turned into a event on Saturday the 13th at 3 o'clock Eastern. It's going to be... Saturday? The 13th is a Sunday. It is going to be Saturday the 12th. Saturday the 12th. Saturday, June 12th.
00:33:39
Speaker
Thank you for everybody out there listening. 2021, just in case we needed to make that clear for some reason. Yes, this coming Saturday at 3 Eastern. So, at Mr. Underscore Bevers, we'll be hosting this. I've done some pack cracking for charity with him before. He is the, oh, the magic Mountie. We all have, so everybody had to do, you know, like we have wrestling personas, we have,
00:34:07
Speaker
There is a poster that you can find online. I don't want to spoil anything because I feel like you should go look at this if you haven't actually seen it yet. My video is one of my favorite things I think I've ever done in my life.
00:34:23
Speaker
There is some sacrilege in it for long time listeners of this show. I was shocked when I finally watched it. What's funny about it is I've had people shocked at the ending to the video for multiple reasons. I will say that. There is more than just one thing shocking going on at that point.
00:34:44
Speaker
Is that fair to say? I think that's fair to say. And this one, we aren't spoiling. We're teasing. We're teasing because this is the four clown throwdown for the Trevor Project. So it's being hosted by Mr. Bevers. And so the links to all of this and to all the people being involved will be up. He is the monarch Mountie.
00:35:03
Speaker
Nick Lambert, so who is also another big supporter of the show and has a podcast called magic next or works for Magic Nexus and they have a news program WNX US. I like making stuff up at this point WNX s news. So it's a new style program. And their persona is big Papa jank.
00:35:28
Speaker
And then at chain underscore commander, who is actually the first one to call me out specifically. And I think get this whole ball rolling is the chain Gwen, which will make a lot more sense if you go watch all of our videos. And I of course, am Krakashima.
00:35:45
Speaker
krakashima krakashima you know i i don't know how you want to pronounce it well or is it just all of them are equally valid and they're all valid when it when it comes to krak everything is valid and we know that so i mean yeah yeah okay yeah so we're doing another we're doing um we're going to play um commander for we're trying to get in a couple of games like i said starting at two eastern um
00:36:09
Speaker
We have prizes that they are pretty significant and cool or haven't fully announced them yet because we are doing figuring out how we're going to be giving things away. A lot of it is going to be based on similar to this to donations hanging out in the chat with us. So it is to raise money for the Trevor project so people don't know.
00:36:28
Speaker
The Trevor Project were founded in 98 by the creators of an Academy Award-winning short film called Trevor. The Trevor Project is a national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBT queer and questioning youth under 25. So this is for young people.
00:36:49
Speaker
not youth, young people, that are dealing with crisis intervention, suicide prevention. There are a lot of programs and services that they do. And that is really like they are associated with, they have the Trevor Lifeline. And there is kind of like a lot of ally training, community resources, and the money goes to fund those. So that's who we will be
00:37:17
Speaker
Using as our charity for this event on on this weekend on Saturday the 12th Saturday the 12th. Excellent. Yeah That's that's fantastic. So that check it that out. That sounds cool. Um, I I have one thing so I was More organized than I thought but less organized enough to use that organization. I just found the page for forestry that I had open I did
00:37:41
Speaker
I just I just I want to talk about just real quick one of the panels for this year because I love first of all the way they name their panels because Scott Lynch is ridiculous and he's an amazing person but also so that one of the panels for this year is called kinging is hard but not kinging is harder colon valorizing collective action cannot wait cannot wait to hear that is awesome so cool you go so
