This week, Trav and Alex talk about guests they'll never realistically have on the show for various reasons! Because reasons. I mean, some of it is legit reasons, but other is because of "reasons" reasons.

This week on DrunkFriend, we talk Metallica with State of Mercury, a fellow who's made a channel that captures the sound and aura of Metallica albums of years past, and applies their unique sounds to different Metallica songs. (For example, what would "My Friend of Misery" sound like if it were on "...And Justice For All?")

On this episode, Alex and Trav highlight a new YouTuber, a NEWtuber?! who is destined for greatness. VeryCoolGuyMike stops by to talk about his video game memes channel that takes weird moments in video games and highlights them in a ridiculous and humorous way

Trav and Alex welcome YouTube creator and personality SomeCallMeJohnny, where you'll learn that some also call him an illustrator, an animator, and a guy with tons of ideas. We talk about early influences, how his channel has grown since 2008 (!!) and what it's like to have an audience for that long.

DrunkFriend goes overseas, as we welcome GameBoyle to the podcast! We talk all things Game Boy - everything from shoot-em-ups, to English-friendly games that never left Japan, to Shantae! We also cover recording footage, editing disasters, games that aren't worth the trouble, and answer a couple listener questions like how viewer/listener feedback can range from constructive and good natured, to dismissive and incoherent. Join us, won't you? Cheers!

Getting back to normal, Trav and Alex join forces from the very beginning of this one. Ya know? Like old times. Alex reads a lovely email from a listener and Pearl provides her insight in response. Thanks to a listener, Trav has broken the Twin Eagle mis-translation mystery wide-open! The guest for this episode is Hungry Goriya, a YouTuber and Twitch streamer growing fast in popularity! They discuss how it all began for HG, how she's always able to keep her cool, and if she really is destined for a future as a PBS narrator. The show wraps with some listener questions about handheld emulators and games that got us through college. 

It's back to guests on this DrunkFriend as Travis and Alex sit down with Pam from the YouTube channel Cannot Be Tamed. What's the evolution of her channel been like? How does dealing with mean commenters affect her? What was being a playtester like? And more! Alex divulges how his week of weirdmess has gone with the releases of comedy inspired videos on Wizard of Oz and Race Drivin'. Trav is louder! 

In the fourth episode of DrunkFriend, Trav (NESfriend) and Alex (SNESdrunk) sit down with long time friend Daria and discuss the inspirations, processes, and struggles involved with keeping her YT channel going. Trav throws down the gauntlet for a hamburger eating challenge with a listener, Alex reads some bizarre comments from his channel, and Daria has some opinions on Breath of Fire!

In this third episode of DrunkFriend, the hosts Trav (NESfriend) and Alex (SNESdrunk) are joined by Dan of Console Wars! Dan talks about how and why he started his YouTube channel and the changes sustained over time like finding a new co-host and keeping the show going. Learn about the pros and cons of a channel centered on being purposefully confrontational in identifying all the quirky differences between Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis games. Patreon questions round out the show with talk of favorite Final Fantasy games, biggest surprises in gaming, and fanboyism!
