Valley Girl Talk

ft. Richard's low-key pedagogical leanings, Jared's unexpected dramatic chops, and Clippy's much more obnoxious cousin -- If you like listening to my off-topic rambles, you may enjoy my other podcast (co-hosted with my boyfriend), which is unscripted blather about miscellaneous topics in 10-to-15-minute-sized chunks.

See? Told you I'd come up with a better episode title than 'Bachman's Earning's Over-Ride.' (Is it something actually relevant to the episode as opposed to just a bit of self-referential egotism? No. Is it what we'd call 'good'? Also no. But it's not boring!) Oh, also, I looked it up and, uh, Richard did not say 'if we need a pre-cog anally' ... he said 'in a way' ... oops. I misheard.

Is this my rambliest episode ever? Maybe! Hey, did you know that after my previous episode recording I actually threw up (for some not entirely known reason) ... not, like, as a direct consequence of the recording, I'm saying 'after' in a purely chronological sense, not as a causal implication. What I'm trying to say is, since falling headlong into the Silicon Valley fandom, whenever I find myself experiencing idiopathic emesis (AKA throwing up for a not entirely clear reason) I literally think to myself, 'This is some Hendricks shit.' I recommend it, it's made my vomits slightly more amusing. -- Thanks for listening!

Also, this might be the worst episode I've ever recorded? Unless you love listening to my ramblings at their most amorphous and least insightful, in which case, you're in for a treat. In any case, it's a good show episode, so at least you'll enjoy watching that :)) -- Thanks for listening!

In which Pied Piper try to give Jack Barker the (Meinertzhagen's Haver)sack, with results that are totally off the chain. -- Thanks for listening!

OKAY so I don't know for sure what happened but the last few minutes of my post-show commentary were lost. Which is a bit of a pain but it COULD BE WORSE because when I woke up my phone screen to end this recording, I saw that it wasn't recording and for a brief second I thought 'oh my god, did I just somehow talk through a whole EPISODE without it recording???' but no, it recorded properly for the duration of the episode and for a few minutes of my post-show commentary, but it stopped recording partway through that. So there's a very abrupt weird ending, sorry. What I talked about after the point where it cuts off: Jack Barker is a massive tool; I see why fans sometimes characterise Richard and Jared as the parents to Dinesh and Gilfoyle, because Richard and Jared, as founder/main brains and biz dev lead respectively, are at the helm of things, while Dinesh and Gilfoyle are so frequently being frivolously at each others throats OR engaged in frivolous enjoyments, like those watermelon jelly things. Don't worry, y'all didn't miss out on much hahah :') -- Thanks for listening!

In which Pied Piper's last miraculous success is swifly undercut by some patented Hendricks yikes. -- Thanks for listening!

GOD what a fucking amazing finale! This is the third time I've watched it and it still managed to take me on a hell of a ride. I love it so very much. -- Thanks for listening!

In which the season's legal battle arc approaches its climax. Sure, Richard's screwed, but at least he's looking sharp in that suit. Also features amyl nitrate, loyal friends, and Chekhov's egg. -- Thanks for listening!

Ah, the fun that props team would've had setting everything up for that first Intersite scene. And ah, the stupid fun I have continuing to shoe-horn SWOT analysis into the ending segment of this podcast. (Fun fact: I'm writing this description during my lunch break at work, meaning a colleague happened to see "Let's Try Fisting" in big letters on my screen. Oops.) -- Thanks for listening!

In which the legendary SWOT analysis is introduced. And in which I myself incorporate the SWOT analysis into this podcast, for reasons such as 'it was a spur of the moment decision' and 'this is a tiny niche podcast and I'm gonna do what I want regardless of how much I have to shoehorn this segment in!!' xoxoxo -- Thanks for listening!

In which Jared displays some troubling and (hopefully) misplaced concern, Gilfoyle breaks out his server skillzzz, and zoning laws threaten to wipe out Pied Piper before Gavin Belson can.

Mo' money, mo' people, mo' problems. (But hey, at least we have #schwag!)

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

#HelloLaurieBream #Bro #FuckHooli

Aaaand we're up to Season 2! When the premium grade shit hits the industrial-sized fan. Includes a whole ten minutes or so of tipsy/drunk chatting from me. Enjoy!

The grand finale of Silicon Valley Season 1, resplendent in its glory of the world's best dick joke.

If you ship Jared and Richard, boy will this be a good episode of the podcast for you! If you don't, there's still the joys of Code Gay and various other meta ramblings too. Plus: a brief cameo at the end from the person who got me into watching Silicon Valley in the first place. Enjoy!

Carvers gonna carve. (Also: I accidentally said 'Gilfoyle technically didn't even' when I mean to say 'Dinesh' AND accidentally said 'given Richard's [...] personality' when I meant to say 'Jared' AND said 'that boat thing' when I meant 'that car/island thing'. I don't know how I'm doing this. D'oh.) (Oh, and for clarification, when I say 'Richard's wrongdoing' I mean the wrongdoing that was done to him.')

In which Erlich is accidentally racist a lot and in which Jared is, basically, a badass. A gentle badass. (And in which I babble a bunch at the end about possibilities for Season 6.) (Also, sorry, I accidentally said 'Richard's right, this house is chaos' when I meant to say Jared.)

Jared and Richard may not be canon, but they did swap trousers. Thank you, writers, for this gift to the fandom.

You know who else is Canadian? Thomas Middleditch. (And Amanda Crew!)

AKA the first truly #jarrich episode.

Welcome to the first podcast episode I've ever recorded in my life! Please forgive the flaws. Also, at one point I accidentally said 'Gavin's tiny car' when I meant 'Peter's tiny car', oops. And at one point I say something really mumbly that even I can't remember/figure out, so soz.
