Personally i love yall talking about being parents and how you and your kids interact with "nerdy" media together. It really solidifies why i stil, after all these years keep following the McElroys. They have shown me i can be an adult with a family and still be myself. I dont have to be hard business sports dad. I can be nerdy goofy dad and my kids will turn out alright still.
Hey Trav? As a nerd parent of a nerdling, all the parenting talk is totally fine.
Also, Griffin, my local Barnes & Nobel absolutely has the TAZ graphic novels in the kids section.
I like the people. I hope them and their families have a fun summer!
The tentacles papa!
As someone who just had my first kid this year and can't wait to play games with him when he's older, this panel is immensely up my alley.
Felicia Day and two McElroys do therapy on each other for an hour
Travis is a great panel interviewer!
Thank you again for posting these!
I was very tickled by all of this panel! Gives me hope that i could be a good dad and day! Also hilarious Brennan bits by the end !
They're all such good parents! 💙
What a fascinating topic for a panel 🥰🥰
Everyone shocked that Felicia hasn't heard of Brenan should GET IN THE COMMENTS!
thank you for posting this :)
"how popular do you have to be where peoppe will want to sit all the way out there?" Clearly he's never been to a Doctor Who panel 😆
inspiring turn there towards the end.
Donald Duck is also the only one on an orange juice box
31:55 it is pretty wild to think about. when felicia made The Guild, I remember a general sentiment of "woah a girl playing games, that's weird," but now it would be weird to think that way.
Felicia Day not knowing who Brennan is kind of breaks my heart a little. Dude is maybe the second-most successful DM of all time and arguably has the best worldbuilding in the game.
Felicia Day didn't know who Brennan Lee Mulligan is 😢
Neither did I.
Love the panel but yikes Felicia is the first person I’ve seen that has no chemistry with the brothers on stage at all. They’re all parents though, maybe they’re just all tired🤷♂️
Only 2 minutes in and I couldn’t disagree more 🤷🏼♂️
What video are you watching??
I can see how it would seem that way, but I think the McElroys’ level of psychic brother energy can sometimes make other interactions seem less in comparison. Still, I could see the Griffin and Travis doing their best to hold themselves back when they accidentally dominated the conversation haha
@@trebotski and considering that the brothers have 13 years of acclimating to aggressively interrupting each other and being interrupted, i thought it was pretty great that they only talked over Day a couple times, and when she interjected, they immediately stopped talking
8:55 And here we are on KZhead, lol
