    • One thing I neglected to do last time was to give a shout out on behalf of PiGuy for the Patreon/community/podcast network of “Gamefully Unemployed”. I did go in after the episode was already released and put in a pre-roll ad for them, but, of course, I fucked it up slightly and misread one of the host’s names as “Tim” instead of “Tom”.  Tom and Dave started Gamefully Unemployed after they lost their jobs at Cracked.com.  They’re on Twitch so they do games, watch movies, and other cool stuff.
      You can find them on Twitter at @GamefullyUn or on Patreon at GamefullyUnemployed (all one word).
      Their exclusive podcasts are:
      • Tom and Jeff Watch Batman (a deep dive into all things Batman in video form)
      • Fox Mulder is a Maniac (an analysis of the X-Files with the premise that Fox Mulder is actually, clinically insane.
      • They also have a complimentary network called “Story Mode” where they talk pop culture, review movies, play D&D, and lots more.
  • A New Cast Interview!!!
    • We’ve got approval to have an interview with Patrick McNeil (Connor the vaping skid) in relatively short order. We’ll keep you updated on that.
  • Don’t forget, we’ve got MERCH! – howareyanowpod.com/merch
  • Thanks for our guest host and musical guest from last week:
    • Aaron Farris – Had a great time chatting about an episode that is NOT super popular with a lot of folks, but hearing back that our take on the episode made it better. Thank you Aaaron!

Episode dive (10:40- 0:30:35):
  • Brief recap of: Great Day for Thunder Bay
  • Deep dive into: Super Hard Easter
Thoughts/Theories/Trivia/Questions (0:30:35 – 0:46:18):
From our Degens:
Ryan Devlin (via hosts@howareyanowpod.com) | Have you ever seen Dary more excited about anything?  He is outright giddy about his turn this year.In the scene at the end with McMurray and Wayne…What do you think Wayne was trying to tell McMurray?  I feel like it may have been something to the effect of them being good buddies if it wasn’t so goddamn hard to communicate.
The Booty Warrior (via Twitter @xbuckshotlovex) | I wonder what special or holiday they may this upcoming year… hmm
Trevor (via Twitter @cTrain014) | Squirrelly Dan recounting the very first Easter is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard. K Trevor Wilson nails that delivery so hard.
Regan (via Discord) | Theory:
The way Dary paints his Easter eggs is the same way that his mom painted Easter eggs.
Awesome (via Discord) | Me:
Is that a trivia orrrr????ashamedofyourself:just a random headcanon/theoryhere’s an observation: Wayne (and by extension, Katy) knows enough about Irish folklore to correct Darry on what the Wild Hunt is.(lending further credence to my theory that at least one of their parents was Irish Irish)Me:I thought the Wild Hunt was more mainland Europe?ashamedofyourself:it’s one of those pan-celtic myths. mostly seen in pre-christian gaelic areasit was Heavily Romanticised by a lot of Victorian writers during the Celtic Revival period
From us:
  • Even the Skids “don’t fuck with tradition”.
  • Wayne only sticks with tradition when it suits him.
  • Katy always having to remind Wayne that he’s the one that’s always saying “You don’t fuck with tradition!” when he’s the one trying to buck tradition.
  • Theory:  McMurray is doing his talking-over Wayne on purpose.
  • Alternate theory:  McMurray just REALLY wants to be Wayne’s friend
  • Trivia:
    • First open without Wayne
    • There’s a painting of Roald behind Roald
    • The initiating of “What could be so urgent?”
Fuck – Fight – FERDA!!!  (0:46:18 – 0:56:39)
  • Fuck:  Glen and Roald can GET IT!!!
  • Fight:  Wayne and Stewart are due a scrap!
  • FERDA:   Everyone else.
Farewells and Outro:  (0:56:39 – 1:03:46)
Dean keeps hearing that Tyler Johnston looks like Tom Cruise but thinks he actually looks more like a young Michael Biehn.
What say you???
