Steve Plays Quiplash with YOU and Explains Stuff - LIVE Valleycast!

DEJA VU PART TWO: Elliott Takes the Red Pill

Did we send the wrong audio file to Steve? Was it an episode from months ago? Did you feel you'd heard it before? Well, welcome to the Valleycast. Here's the original description, which should, in theory, actually be relevant to the episode you're about to listen to... UNLESS THIS IS ALL A SIMULATION! Well, my brilliant idea to title this episode, "Part Two: Elliott Takes the Red Pill (He's a neo-n#zi now)" did not go according to plan. Why? Two words. Steve. Zaragoza. Happy. Birthday. That's fo...

Part One: Steve Takes the Red Pill (he watched The Matrix)

And good morning to you, all! This is part one of a two-part series centered on a new Los Angeles attraction: COSM. No, not QUASM. That's different, but both are filled with splendor. I know I'm still feeling that splendor today, after having witnessed what Steve loved so very much. So get ready for next week when we unveil Part Two of this series, "Elliott Takes the Red Pill (he became alt-right largely due to the unbridled dominance of monopolistic tech companies whose algorithms act as emotio...

WHO WILL WIN?! (Final Destination vs. Mission: Impossible vs. Lilo & Stitch?!)

Don't like watching movies so I'll listen to Steve, Elliott, and Joe talk about the film face-off (as opposed to the film, Face/Off) that is Lilo and Switch, Miss Impossible: Get Recked, and Final Fantasy. Or something like that. Anyway, we hope you enjoy this chat with these three boys who love each other and love you. See you soon.

Boogie Nights, Andor, and Why You Shouldn't Read

We're back with Joe, Steve, and Elliott and they are more on fire than the planet Andor (I didn't pay attention to the show). In this episode, we talk Boogie Nights! Andor! And Steve makes irrationally problematic statements regarding the practice of reading which are solely his opinion and do not reflect the opinions or beliefs of the Valleyfolk.

Joe and Elliott vs. CHORES?!

We got our schedules mixed up, so here's last week's episode NOW?! Fortunately, it's more evergreen than the scent of your laundry detergent, because this week is all about CHORES. That's right.

Steve has some THOUGHTS about A Minecraft Movie

From Quiplash to Minecraft, this week Steve Zaragoza goes LIVE to play games, talk movies, and entertain one and all. Did we forget to send Steve the audio files of the podcast Joe and I did? If by "we," you mean Joe Bereta, then yes, we forgot to send the audio files of the podcast Joe and I did. Is this better? Yes. Maybe.

Severance and Saratoga Water

It's that time of the year when we lower Steve into a pig trough, talk Severance, and discuss a random viral video literally MOMENTS before it expires. This is the problem with talking about memes on a podcast that goes up days later. Even if we wake up at 4:23, dive into a pool, drown our faces in ice water, and then finish working out by 4:25, we've already missed the meme's window of relevance. Whatever. What's new.

That Phone You're Holding is a SCAM! (LIVE JACKBOX EPISODE!)

With Bereta and Morgan both out this week, Zaragoza regales you (assuming you've already been sufficiently galed) with a fed-up diatribe of first-world-problem proportions. That's right, we're talking about adult stuff on this episode, like how cell phones are inherently fraudulent, all while multitasking with some Jackbox.

Foster dog. Adopt dog. Sell dog. Profit?

Joe returns just in time for Elliott to flaunt his new dog and his fat stacks that he got from selling... a "stove." We'll say stove. Are you tired of biopics?

Sure, but have you ever been to an aquarium?

Left to their own devices once again, Elliott and Steve DIVE into the world of aquariums, upcoming films from long-dead (practically jurassic) franchises, and whether evolutionary panentheism offers a glimpse into the inherent meaning of life.

Drones, Franz Anton Mesmer, and How Much a Banana Costs

Drones, plasma people, and Anton Mesmer... who couldn't resist this foray into the unknown? Was Mesmer a charlatan? Are drones merely nothing to worry about? And is "shooting down" the drones only on side of the aisle? No, no it's not. Elliott was wrong, which is in and of itself remarkable. Why are traffic lights so much bigger than they look?
