Description:
Welcome! Here's the twenty-ninth episode of our "Drink Talk Learn" streams and we should explain that we have not uploaded the twenty-eighth episode yet because there were a LOT of music parts that we're going to have to edit and upload at a later (very late since it covered Christmas!) date, that said the manic energy that kept that one off YouTube for a bit is present here and while we had six people on camera, we only had THREE PRESENTATIONS THIS ONE! Callie and Kyuu were never set to present, but not being able to see Pleiades presentation was something of a downer and hopefully he'll be able to present after our two-week break. Elsewhere Yuji joined us for the first time and Warren went really random with a journey through his various hairstyles. Manuel talked RPGs and if you're interested in joining in a campaign for any of these, be sure to drop a message or comment. Probably the shortest DTL we've done since the very earliest days, this one is still packed with fun, energy, and randomness. And the second and third presentations were long enough to drag this one past three hours even with the technical difficulties that caused us to end early. Anyway, check it out, Happy Holidays, and we will see everyone back in two weeks in 2021! As always, be sure to let us know what you think about this series, how we can improve it, and what your thoughts on our topics are in general!

Welcome! Here's the twenty-seventh episode of our "Drink Talk Learn" streams and we have a nice return to form here! We went all out with five presentations for the first time in weeks and our topics were all over the place to the point that we changed up our rarely altered presentation order! Lots of karaoke nonsense was cut out from this YouTube version unfortunately but there's still a lot of fun stuff here with Molly's fav YouTube channels, DarkWest's fav 4-player arcade games (with LOTS of memories from all of us!), a look at the Fatal Fury anime movie, and a full telling on the history of A-to-J's "Cult of Reggie" and a look at Mr. Krabs high on ketamine! Some crazy stuff all around if we do say so ourselves! We only have two more DTLs before we take a break for the end/start of the year so be sure to keep watching for all the antics that are sure to take place in coming weeks. Also, hopefully Callie comes back fully and hosts the next episode as well, beyond some random voice-only bits here, she was all but absent. ALSO, look in the comments for links to the channels Molly mentioned!

Description:
Welcome! Here's the twenty-sixth episode of our "Drink Talk Learn" streams and it's a special holiday episode! We were actually talking about skipping this week but with so many other missed November streams we chose to carry on and have it even though it was rather close to Thanksgiving. With that in mind there were a few weird ones here with Molly still missing, another four-person +Kyuu (who still didn't present) leading to another under four hour stream, and Callie's Mom doing a presentation instead of Callie herself. Speaking of the latter, the live version of this DTL was actually very spotty and we've edited this version a bit to make it easier to watch as the stream was very spotty at times. If you soldiered on live, thank you, if not, then you now have a mostly intact version (though still recorded from Callie's sometimes spotty side) where you can watch with no interruptions. Also, watch for Callie vibin and random AC/DC references. Elsewhere there were some randomness during presentations with a very drunk Callie and a pre-drunk Pleiades, so be sure to check it out! Next week should return to something of normality as November has always proven to be a tough month for the consistency of our live shows (probably owing to always having such a steady schedule for October) so keep an eye out for that!

Description:
Welcome! Here's the twenty-fifth episode of our "Drink Talk Learn" streams and this was our long-planned "redux" episode! We planned this out months ago that when we hit a milestone in DTLs that we'd revisit some past presentations. Weirdly though, this one only saw four presentations (the first time we've ever had this low a number) with Kyuu sitting in just for funsies. We had a lot of fun though with Warren revisiting a popular presentation with a new section, Manuel redoing the budaixi presentation with somewhat better presentation and with a bigger audience, Callie continuing her "Becoming A VTuber" presentation (she technically already redid a presentation a few weeks ago), and Pleiades redoing a very recent presentation on Serial Experiments Lain with a longer ending section. Elsewhere, there were a lot of changes to the show as Callie was the one hosting the stream this time around that meant a steadier stream with some interesting changes in layout and presentation here and there. This was a fun that also featured a lot of talk of nipples (including an insert just for YouTube!) and lots more randomness throughout!

Description:
Welcome! Here's the twenty-fourth episode of our "Drink Talk Learn" streams and we changed this one up in a couple ways as we hosted this one on Friday (Friday The 13th no less!) as opposed to Saturday just to add a bit of extra cursed energy! Keen viewers might notice that we also have a logo now and it only took us 24 episodes to get one! Also, we managed to get this one out with pretty tight timing in both the presentations and in -between nonsense! Molly had to skip this weekend but Kyuu jumped in to replace her and Callie returned after sitting out our Halloween episode. Lots of fun presentations here and while Pleiades gave us a bit of trouble making this one get uploaded by its usual release time, they're all great! Elsewhere, Callie achieved her final form as "Casino Comfort Christmas Chaos Callie" and when you first see her, so did the hosts! There might be some slight changes in future DTL streams so be sure to keep an eye out for all the new stuff on the way!

4:23:10 Closing Nonsense

Description:
Welcome! Here's the twenty-third episode of our "Drink Talk Learn" streams and this one took a while to upload for a lot of reasons. First of all, this was recorded on Halloween so there was a lot of spoopy fun all around. We were joined by Geoff and Kyuu in this one and even though Pleiades was on board, we chose to cut out his presentation for the final version. Before we get to that though, we had a lot of fun with this one and we were all dressed up in some fashion since Halloween isn't really a thing this year due to the pandemic. It almost went full circle as Molly did her "Story of Evil Hill" presentation without the pain of the hell noodles, Manuel finally covered ouija boards, and Warren wrapped up his discussion on Hmong culture. Geoff and Kyuu took more personal routes, but their presentations were fun too. That said, we not only cut out Pleiades presentation (and the real ending of the stream) so we decided to film a new one and tacked it onto the end, hence the delay. Don't overthink it too much though, just watch and enjoy and pray that Pleiades and the others come back from being lost in the spoopy woods!

Description:
Welcome! Here's the twenty-second episode of our "Drink Talk Learn" streams and while we didn't mention it live, Manuel has a particular affinity for repetitions of "2" so this one was sure to be special! First to be addressed is the lineup, Kyuu joined us for funsies on this one and didn't actually present, the first time we've ever done that and it was just as random live as it looks. Molly was originally scheduled to be on this one, repeating her presentation from the week before, but she cancelled but still hung out for the middle part of the DTL in voice only form. Host nonsense aside, we had a lot of fun with this one with Warren doing a VERY random set of things he saw online (some of which are censored in this version as they REALLY triggered us), Callie talked VTubers, Manuel talked Anton LaVey & The Church of Satan, Weston did a follow-up to his previous presentation and talked Classic Halloween TV & Film Specials, and Pleiades closed it out by talking Lain, even though we kinda failed getting that site to do things we liked! Check it out as there's a lot of fun here and we even managed to keep this show as tight as other recent ones time-wise! Only one more DTL until the end of October so prepare for things to get even spoopier from here on!

Description:
Welcome! Here's the twenty-first episode of our "Drink Talk Learn" streams and DTL is finally old enough to drink! We decided early on that this was going to be a "chill" and "easy" show since we only had five hosts, we were all regulars, and we had all put together presentations that we felt we could present relatively quickly. This started the idea that we would finish around 10 PM Pacific (making the show about four hours and we actually hit this) but the show became a little cursed as we kept trying to squeeze that time closer to the 9 PM mark. There was very little in-between banter as there was Timer-chan checking in on us there and we're not sure if this is something that we're going to continue from here on. That said we DID move fast through a lot of presentations and were making really good time until we hit Molly's presentation that faced a lot of technical difficulties. Callie also left at this point to catch another live stream and Pleiades moved into a presentation that was quite drawn out probably due to his sobriety. Molly's presentation also hit some snags as she was once again doing the Hell Noodles and couldn't really speak during it. That said, not all weeks are hits but there was fun to be had here and Molly will be re-presenting her presentation this week! So enjoy! We're nearing the end of October so prepare for things to get even spoopier from here on!
