“Jake stepped out from behind a dumpster and stopped me before I made it to school, pantsed me, and “advised” me to give him my lunch money. Holden appeared behind him, laughing - he began chanting “keep on wizzin’, never stop bruisin’.” as I pulled my pants up and ran away sobbing and snotting. These dudes are scary.

Total seriousness, thank you guys for changing my life for the better. I missed out on a lot of nerd culture as a kid living in a very disconnected teeny tiny farm town. Since starting the podcast (on total accident, I was looking for anything MattMcMuscles in the search and WizBru was the first result), I’ve revisited a lot of things I passed on as a youth and have fallen back in love with them.
I never imagined that I would be throwing myself at image comics or Calvin and the Hobbes collections. I never thought I would spend the better part of four hours learning about Superman and craving more. I never pictured myself diving headfirst into fighting games and loving the thrill of losing every single match but improving each time.
In a time of my life where I’m experiencing a very /stuck/ feeling, it’s been an immense joy to feel rushes of nostalgia, pining for media and experiences that brought me joy as a kid and young adult. There’s been many moments where I end up rushing home from work to turn on a movie or a game that I /needed/ to share with my wife and kids.
I’ve been working through the pod chronologically (listening to new episodes as they come out), and according to my main podcast app I’ve given these dudes well over 6 days of my time [mainly at work, screw you bossman] - and I can’t get enough. Their patreon is absolutely worth the subscription (even though I’ve chosen to skip any news-like episode Pre-2023) and their interviews are top tier. It feels like sitting on the couch and listening to friends gush about their lives and interests.
I hope for nothing but the best for the boys and their families and am thankful to have the ability to listen along.”
