      Same! I think one of the things that makes Watcher work for so many of us is their dynamic. Like they have genuine friendships and are sincere people who matter to each other. That this is a product of their friendships. I don't want to ever see that change. I think it would make me feel like Watcher has lost some of its magic of thats the case. It was a good call for them to do this podcast.

      They should talk to Rhett and Link lol. They seem to be such good friends who still hang out outside of the show, after sooo many years. I genuinely don't know how they do it. They always say to not work with friends or family because you'll end up "only" being workmates, but they have made it work so well. I mean, they helped Smosh get back their companies so I'm sure they can be business therapists for anyone. 😂

      As someone who moved to the midwest, there's a lot of good food out here...but it's not Culver's. Every time I eat there, the burgers are burned to the point of being charcoal! He's got the right of it. A year in Cali, and I never had a single charcoal burger from In-N-Out. Culver's, even at different locations, has made no attempt to hire chefs who know how to make a simple burger. xD

    My hopes for Steven:
    1) He himself has a child who loves Halloween so much, it becomes Steven's favorite time of year, so that when he is a Grandpa, he is Mr. Halloween of the neighborhood.
    OR
    2) Upon old age, the miserly Steven is begrudgingly befriended by a young fatherless boy who moves in next door one October of the future, and through a series of grandfatherly shared experiences, Steven realizes the true beauty and magic of the spooky season and the true meaning of friendship.
    Happy Halloween to All and to All a Spoopy Night 😂
