Jeez didn't expect to cry during teen talk. My mom passed away this year and she was a professor. Hearing Will, Beth and Matt talk about their moms got me right in that feels train. You guys are great!

Caz Flip Smith

All of Freddy's teachers would stress me the fuck out. But those profs would be great at teaching gaslighting 101

BlankPapers

What’s funny is that the theme got close to the sound of a band called, “AJR.” Which, if I were to describe it, it’s light hearted music from young adults who are kinda sad. Perfect fit, really.

Aylis J Lind

This podcast about a podcast is a spectrum of experience

Aylis J Lind

I would looooove to hear the first version of the theme song

sean Urban

Links favorite band?.... Lincoln Park 🤣

Chris

Incredible work bringing it back around to Matt's crypto improv after getting sappy about teacher appreciation. My biggest impacting teacher passed away a few years after I had his class from a childhood cancer that reappeared. Was in his early 30s I believe. You'll never feel bad about letting an old teacher know how much of an impact you had, and never know if you'll get around to it.

Omg shoutout to mr k, i had two different hs teachers that married former students <3 i wonder if they know each other

Why do I love hearing these people yell at each other for five straight minutes 😂😂

i never thought that in this the year of 2022 i would hear the name the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya

Wow Matt get fucking salty

Daina Scully

matt’s right tho lmao!!! even in the episode i was like “why is anthony making matt explain how he gets money when the entire idea is that he buys a few bucks worth of something that he knows will blow up because of future knowledge???” like the comparative question would’ve been anthony making freddie decide which lotto ticket brand he was gonna buy 😂 justice for matt he didn’t deserve this heat

Calvin and Hobbes introduced me to film noir too. It's wonderful

Anonymous

I love Calvin and Hobbes! I'm now introducing my stepsons to it as well and they are enjoying it too. They keep building Calvin's inventions out of cardboard boxes just like the comics

DeviantRabbits

Good golly gee wiz, this teen talk episode is like the 5 stages of grief. You can hear it in Beth's voice.

Not knowing spongebob is kinda whack

Samantha Mann

Ahhhhh I don’t like when my “dads” are fighting

Kiera Conrad

Sorry who the FUCK has a bank account at 13?! I didn’t get one until I was literally 18 and going across the country for college lol

Madeleine D

I don’t give a shit about SpongeBob but can you guys pleeeeeeease watch a couple of Bluey episodes for a MBIC or something? (Maybe the one where Chilli and her mate are on the g+ts, and then an unexpectedly tear jerking one like Bingo sleeping in everyone’s bed, just an idea, I want this SO MUCH)

Anonymous

I'm here for the bluey content! Lol But no... seriously... not knowing how much bluey Matt has watched. I recommend re-watching the s1ep 43 "Camping" but change the audio to French :) there's a fun surprise in it

Anonymous

If I didn't already love this podcast enough, a Haruhi Suzumiya reference in S02E02 really puts it over the edge

Anonymous

I want to reiterate that the ep recommendation is for Matt lol or anyone that has already seen bluey :) For brand new bluey season 1 ep.... The Claw... keepie-uppie... magic xylophone...shadowlands... Fairies... (man its tough to narrow these down i do love almost all of them) Season 2... ALL OF THEM!! Except bad mood... I personally don't like bad mood bc it makes my kid want to play bad mood lol

Wandering Giant

haha seriously, very often the entire group decides to gaslight one person (usually Freddy) and it's wild that the group is almost always wrong and just can't comprehend what the defendant is saying. They really wanted him to look up all the stocks and coins as if that will somehow be funny 😂

Wandering Giant

oh god, NONE of them had a bank account at 15? None of them had their own money and were buying their own things at 15 years old? Good lord I had a job by then

Wandering Giant

I think a good number of people as a part of parents teaching them financial literacy. I had one and saved up money and was responsible for buying my own things, as well as my first job around 15.

I wasn’t ready for this new episode of debate me coward, but I’m here for it

J.S.

Yeah, they have a fight in this episode, but then it ends on such a sweet round robin of all the best teachers they had, wow.

Anonymous

I haven't watched any episodes, but maybe blues clues is a better comparison to bluey than spongebob, although it seems blues clues might have a younger audience than bluey.

Matt turning into Kanye is the best lmao.

Christopher Pete

This is the best episode of Debate Me Coward yet holy shit

CJ

Loved the part where we heard all those good teachers stories (and the creepy AP calc teacher was called out)! I’ve been working with kids from PreK age-12th grade for over 20 years now… But I can remember when some of my own teachers would open up their classrooms during lunch/recess. It was a safe haven for middle school me. Teachers who actually care about children are priceless.

Finn Sparger

Btw Odyssey of the Mind is now called Destination Imagination and I think you only get like $200 for supplies and stuff?

Daddies, thank you for touching on your favorite teachers growing up. I'm a K-8 music teacher and adore my job. I hope I can make half the impact your teachers made for you.

Matt

When I first listened to dungeons and daddies I legitimately googled to see if John Mulaney was the DM.

rockL

SpongeBob came out my freshman year of high school, but I've always loved cartoons and it is formative for me as a teen.

How did a teen talk turn into debate me coward mid way through

Aurie Dear

I’m glad there’s proof at least SOMEONE liked their teachers

This is probably the rowdiest they’ve been 👌

I literally named my cats Calvin and Hobbes and only three people I’ve met in my life even know what Calvin and Hobbes is. It’s a real shame

Finally somebody said anthonys voice sounds like john mulaneys 😩✨✨✨

I tuned in to Teen Talk and got a Debate Me Coward bonus ✨

Anthony was right

Omg the argument at the beginning is killing me

Blythe Atkinson

I'm definitely one of those millennials who found SpongeBob to be incredibly informative for my sense of humor. It was the only show from my childhood that I was still watching in high school. Also bummed I totally missed The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya reference D;

Anonymous

Yep. This needs to be a debate me coward

Justin A

This has had one of my favorite moments ever. How quickly they jump on Matt after he opens up and tears start is absolutely hilarious

Anonymous

Beth mentions Link would be into Christmas music. It would be funny if he got into it by discovering one of Glenn's Christmas CDs. Somehow the cd got to his house from Glenn or Nick or whoever.

Ariana Phillips

This is the BEST talking Dad-Teen so far, not other talking x has made me so proud of spending my money on u guys

Tom!

I am over 35 and will never understand SpongeBob. Calvin and Hobbes and Bluey are both amazing though.

Tom!

Yes I think Sleepytime has to be on the list of where to start. I am in US so haven’t gotten s3 on Disney+ yet but I’d also throw in Flat Pack as one that just blows me away. Camping, Army, and Christmas Swim would be on my list too. But there are just so many amazing ones. And they’re only 8 minutes!

Tom!

You should watch some episodes. That’s like saying maybe nursery rhymes are a better comparison than Shakespeare. This community will not tolerate Bluey slander.

Magpie

I was born in 99, SpongeBob was absolutely formative for me too!!

Adam Hendricks

This episode and debate me coward shows that we DO like it when Mommy and Daddy fight

Tony Woodward

Well, actually the word Hobbes used was Salubrious. I'm so sorry I just wanted to try being that guy for once oh god that feels horrible.

Omg confirmed. Haruhi is the Doodler.

Zoriah Getchell

I was not expecting debate me coward to pop up in here lol.

Adam Sutton

You could hear Matt realizing how flimsy his argument was as the episode goes on 😂 beautiful ending to a rowdy teen talk.

I think I got my first summer job and personal bank account at 16. My friends were about 50/50 on doing the same. So it’s not crazy that they didn’t have bank accounts as teens.

Sam Passow

I had a MR K that married a student OMFG Anthony

Nick Bidaurreta

As an engineer who loves math, Anthony's comment about calculus being pointless made me angry. I demand an apology...

Izzy Woods

Beth is just on fire this season. I can say this now because it’s over but Ron was funny but i always hayed his voice and had to play his parts at double the speed. Scary is closer to Beth’s voice and original humor it seems and i love it😂🥰😁

Giselle

omg i also hate to say this &amp; i am not an authority on this as a young millennial but im pretty sure the kiddos don't use "amv" anymore... its either "fancams" or "edits"

Anonymous

Are you all still on speaking terms? LOL

Jan van Egmond

This is both the rowdiest and adorablest talking teendad ever &lt;3 The downright adorablest one was were Will opened up about his dad &amp; got teary-eyed too. Hey Benthony, when are you going to cry? Haha jk, much love

I got my first bank account at 11 when HSBC came to my school and gave out free tote bags when you signed up 🙃

So glad I have this now. No regrets

Calvin and Hobbes as formative to me as well, but does anyone remember Heart of the City? They only ever sold one book here and it fell apart from me reading it so many times

Alex Greaves

I side with Matt, teens can invest in crypto easily, I have a friend who was checking doje coin stock in maths class

Mary Weber

Oh nooo I don't think I had any teachers who impacted me the way these guys did and idk if that means I'm an ungrateful turd or I just went to mediocre schools? Probably both?

Jasmine

Hey random though, but have you guys ever thought about doing a try not to laugh Smosh style bonus content. You guys are hilarious and I feel like watching that would brighten everyone's day.

Madeleine D

Yeah, um, lugubrious means sad? So I guess you learned NOTHING from this beloved childhood classic oh nooooo tony you’re right I feel so bad ugh ugh ugh

Jenica

Calculus is pointless for everyone who isn't an engineer.

Jenica

I am genuinely afraid when I hear people yelling at each other, so I appreciate Anthony and Lolo telling me this anger is a different kind of game anger. I also appreciated that all the yelling paused and everyone went quiet when Beth talked so we could hear what she was saying.

The new theme reminds me of The Polyphonic Spree; a good thing.

Mason Dyck

That talking dads was wild

And don’t make me say teen talk

Cassandra Cordova

SpongeBob is one of the few things my sister and I bonded with when we were young (she was born 2000, me 1992)

smeeth

This was my favorite talking show for a long time, I really love how you guys razz on Matt and also love how Matt fights back but you all never take it too seriously and know it's all silly.

Cactus Pear

Matt: “let me FINISH let me FINISH” - me: “no, stfu… the crypto currency idea was crap from its inception”

Cody Luthy

Not bluey in 10 years. Itll be blues clues. They are coming out with a multiverse movie

Cody Luthy

But really tho teachers rock ima try to write some letters. Real tear jerker on this one ❤

I love that this is essentially a 3 on 1 debate me coward

Stephanie Neher

The insane crypto argument at the beginning is 💯

I love that these get more chaotic as the podcast goes on

jmethelizbian

I s2g this'll be the last time I say this, but I recommend looking into the Monster of the Week from Powered by the Apocolypse. Not use it, but I think it makes a lot of cool mechanics out of motw tropes

Guys please don’t break up 🤣🤣

The discussion on teachers at the end ❤️🥰 my kindergarten teacher was the best teacher I ever had. She and I always kept in touch, she went to my college graduation, and we send each other Christmas cards yearly. Teachers truly are the best 😭

Pete the cat &gt; Bluey tbh

In this episode of debate me coward/teen talk lol!!

Damn, everyone is really getting on Matt about the made up penis sex joke numbers not being objectively correct enough to work out to exactly $1,000,000.

As a music teacher that was also strongly influenced by my music teachers, Will talking about his band teacher was incredible.

GM

Amvs have been destroyed by YouTube's copyright laws but they were my absolute lifeblood in my teen years. I used them for new music AND new anime.

This was great!

Garret H

in matt’s defense, it wasn’t the “think of a name” bit that fucked him, it was when he made the “the starting price is shaped like a dick” joke and getting locked in that the canon starting price was $8

I am a teacher T_T thank you

I'm so happy you guys know about Odyssey of the Mind lol it was one of the things I looked forward to every year and I'm still sad I can't go back and do it again even though I've been out of high school for 10 years. Seems like no one else knows what it is when I mention it Also grew up with Calvin and Hobbes, such a good comic series

Matt, I also had a third grade teacher who was amazing. She taught me to love reading. That love for reading translated to me becoming a teacher myself.

Paid In Paedens

Normal should listen to MEUTE, they are a techno marching band. They're great.

Jason WillowHammer

My best teacher in 7th grade was named Mr. K. I hope it's not the same person.

Jaclyn T

Thank you for answering my question!! The theme songs are such awesome parts of the whole audio mix of the show!!

Laurie Dawn

Since there was a lot of cartoon talk in this one it reminded me of something in season one. The Library and Scam characters, who are the purest joy and love of my heart, remind me a whole lot of Glossaryk from Star Vs. The Forces Of Evil. Which is totally great btw😀

Holy shit that back and forth about the crypto was absolute gold

I've had entire games fall apart because of 'I don't want to answer questions I just want to play' energy. SMH Matt. SMH IRL.

The first half of this episode was wild and the second half was SO sweet and kind! My heart went on a rollercoaster 💕😆

Mitchell Groenewegen

If Lincoln's favourite genre is Christmas music, is he a fan of Glenn Close?

Calvin and Hobbes is actually phenomenal. One of the best comics I have ever read.

Everyone getting emotional about their teachers was really sweet 🥺❤️

As a teacher, listening to you all talk about your teachers made me tear up.

Adrien

Hearing everyone talked about their teachers is great, it had me thinking about the teachers I’ve had in my own life. Like most of my teachers were shitty, and there are specific things they did that will always make me think, “who allowed this asshole to be a teacher?!” But most of the good teachers i have outweighed the bad. Like my homeroom/math teacher, Mrs K let’s say, she knew I was struggling with my own self esteem and knew I struggled mentally with depression and anxiety, she took the time to have a plan set up with me and my other teachers and even told the other staff that if I ever felt like crying or wanting to run away and such that I could just get up and leave and not be harassed and was allowed to go straight to her class and sit there to allow me a moment to myself without staff fearing the worst for me ya know. She was great and I appreciated that a lot cause yea there were a lot of times where i felt existing was too much that just talking to her for a bit and sitting in her class until I was ready to continue with my day would always be something I appreciate. It also showed me that its okay to take a moment to step back and breathe instead of sitting still in an environment that was causing me so much anger and stress and such. She was great and I will always remember her being just overall an awesome person tbh. Like there are teachers who pretend to care and you can tell but Mrs K actually cared for the well being of the students and worried for their safety a lot that she would go out of her way to set something up for the well being of the students and get those students teachers involved with those things too. Sending emails and insisting on meetings to get a plan worked out for students who needed that extra space/help. She is amazing and I appreciate her a lot to this day

Spinnaker

Man, I never got hugely into Calvin and Hobbes because I just read the shitty Finnish translation on the newspaper.
