[11:23] filmed and included in the video without consent. Um we approached some people. And we're like, "Oh, please, can you film us trying to cycle away on this bike?" They looked trustworthy, and so we gave them Evie's phone, which is what

[11:37] we filmed the entire thing on, and we were like, "I'm sure this will be fine." >> Yeah, it's uh it's all good. Uh how how could I not? How could I not include >> Yeah. >> And then the other one where you're like

[12:56] to do the flight whistle one. Okay. Editing, >> those spinny eyes took so long. Do you remember? It took me literally two days, frame [snorts] by frame, for each eye. And watching it

[13:11] worth it. It wasn't worth [laughter] the effort, was it? It looks terrible. It looks awful. So >> Oh, we're so young. >> Oh my goodness. Okay, it's now time for

[13:24] us to move on to BFA, and this is where like the skits really started taking these. I always think of BFA as being like the golden time of the weekly reset which even if we don't find them very funny, we've included because um they

[30:48] Okay, fine. You're really behind on your long boy progress after all. World of Warcraft, may I introduce to you Warcraft, may I introduce to you our son, Anuiren.

[31:00] >> No, it's fine. It's a big server. We'll just put one of those dashes on the U. Behold, Anuiren. >> Tally. Does the name still work with a double N at the end, do you think?

[31:13] Daddy, Daddy, I collected all of those herbs just like you asked me. >> Great work, XXanier 169XX. You continue to make your parents proud. You continue to make your parents proud. Knowledge is power.

[31:29] >> Hey Tallysandra, can I ask a favor? Sure thing, Evatel. Anything you like. Can we do some island expeditions? >> What? No. Why would you ask that? I thought we were friends. >> It's for Bolvar. Bolvar? You mean

[31:42] >> Ex-Lich King. >> Oh, hi Bolvar. I didn't see you there. You all right, mate? No. Oh. >> Bolvar has been really down ever since he and his entire Scourge army got soloed by Sylvanas at Icecrown.

[31:56] >> Oh, yeah. I heard about that. Sorry, dude. I have failed. All is lost. Right, okay. I feel like he could do with a morale boost, like an easy win, you know? Sure thing. Yeah, you know, let's do some island expeditions, Bolly boy.

[32:11] That's just the thing to get you back to winning ways. Better put it on normal, just in case. Bring your big hammer. Did we just lose an island expedition? I >> understand. Hang on. Bolvar, your eye level is like

[32:28] super low. What's going on, Bolvar? Bolvar, you haven't even GOT A HELM Bolvar, you haven't even GOT A HELM EQUIPPED. Where's your helm, Bolvar? Oh.

[32:46] >> I know, I'm sorry. He was rubbish, though. Knowledge is power. did? Isn't there usually a cinematic? >> Oh, yeah, good point. I guess DBM must

[33:02] about that later cuz Magni he's going to give us a big speech and explain all the story stuff. Since being wounded by the mad titan, Azeroth has been crying out in pain. >> Yeah, that was so sad.

[33:16] >> Yeah, that was so sad. >> At long last, she's free from the grasp of the old gods. Yeah, we totally killed the old gods. I mean, not C'Thun or >> Her song rings clear and strong throughout this

[33:31] chamber. Uh is she not still crying out in pain after being wounded by the mad titan, then? Don't worry, I'm sure he's about to explain that. But you are more than a champion of your people. YOU'RE NOT A CHAMPION OF AZEROTH.

[33:46] NOT A CHAMPION OF AZEROTH. COOL. And the sword? What? The sword. Is causing her great pain? >> What sword are you talking about, champion? The sword. [music] >> The reason we started all of this. The

[33:58] reason you gave us the Heart of Azeroth. >> remember any sword. issue. >> It's just it was quite a big issue at the start, and we haven't really done anything about it. I don't want to, you

[34:12] know, like ignore the massive sword if it's still killing her, like you said it >> That's all. >> Oh, I know what'll make you feel better, >> Oh, great. Bracers. >> I'll be on this, Magni. I'm okay for

[34:26] bracers right now. Champion. Champion. Champion. Champion. Tali, I I we broke >> I'm scared. Knowledge is power. >> Oh, quite the selection there, Evie. said that BFA was like a golden age. >> Yeah, Skits.

[34:39] >> Again, not golden age in terms of like uh sound quality or equalization. No, but that's probably our biggest selection as well, I feel. We left loads and loads and loads out of there as well. Only the

[34:51] of the crop. >> ones jump out of you from those, Evie? Oh, man. I mean Hey, you. I hear you need a website. Not in a someday, maybe kind of way. In a people are asking me questions [music]

[35:05] and I don't have answers way. That is where Squarespace comes in, who are guys. Because instead of building a website the traditional way, confusion, despair, dooming over a thousand unread tabs, you just don't do that. First off,

[35:20] Squarespace has its own site builder. It asks you a few questions, very normal, nothing invasive, and then it just makes a website for you. A real one with pages and structure. It's kind of crazy how fast it happens. Then, to keep things

[35:35] going, there are the email campaigns, which means you can send [music] actual quality emails to your audience directly from Squarespace. I mean, they actually look good. You'll open one yourself and think, oh, I'd click that. And when

[35:50] you're ready to spice things up, there are the member areas. So, if you have paywall, whatever that may be, I will not judge, you can do just that. No weird workarounds, no please don't share this link energy, just a proper system

[36:05] that works. So, now you have a website. It looks [music] good. It functions. money, and you didn't have to become a web developer along the way, which feels wrong, but also kind of right. Ready to make it happen? Just go to

[36:20] [music] where you can get 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain or just use code TaliesinEvitel or just click the link in the description below. That's squarespace.com/taliesinevitel.

[36:35] [music] Apart from the fact that we had a baby. asking me to choose like my favorite one. It's like how can I choose not choose the one that has a Niran in it? Like our little baby. We were watching

[36:48] little eyes. Look at his little face. Look at his little hands." Absolutely amazing. Um but I think one of my favorites is going on a date with Zaladane. Really? I hate that one. I think the camera

[37:02] >> so funny. I just love the bit where I'm >> [laughter] >> It's so hard to film. I think you you see a lot of what's going to be a recurring trend in all of our interest

[37:14] gets here, which is me mouthing along with your lines as you say them. Which is something I literally just can't help doing. And I love that like we went so far as to get Charm to record a song for us. Okay, so I

[37:29] >> I recorded the track on my guitar. I like literally recorded it on my guitar. Sent her like the base track of the guitar. She then sang over it the lyrics that we'd written and then I put all the backing vocals on afterwards. IT'S LIKE

[37:44] IT'S [laughter] LIKE IT'S IT'S I'M SO GLAD WE HAVE IT. I wish I'd deserves it and like yeah. And then Preach and Hazel popping up as well. Not for the last time

[37:57] >> And also speaking of putting way too much effort, the one about Wow mobile games. >> Yeah. Was like I remember spending so much time like making that little night

[38:10] elf city builder, sourcing all the graphics for the Anduin like daddy simulator. It was a different time, but it was like such a joy to >> Uh so of favorite skits that did not make the cut due to your um like

[38:25] ruthless curation uh was the one where uh we're fighting a we're about to fight Ashara and uh she's like, "Aha, you fools, you've charged up your um azerite necklaces for me." And then she tries to like power up the

[38:39] haven't filled it with enough azerite. >> Yeah. Ah! up the portal room and it's like a recreation of the cinematic. Yes, and to include. >> Yeah, I know, you're right. Yeah, that

[38:53] mean, Zappy boy >> had Mr. Yem in it, too. >> And and you know, that came out before Zappy boy ended up in the in the >> Which is wild. It was one of the first, again, like coinings of Zappy boy.

[39:07] one, I don't think. We just like but we were we were on it early, for sure. Definitely. Which one are you going to pick to go through to the final? I think That one. >> Wow. Okay. I I really like that one.

[39:23] That one makes me laugh. I think your delivery is really funny. I think the the balance of like Xal'atath's really saucy lines. when she was just a knife.

[39:36] >> I'm I'm stuck between my two favorite ones, I think, out of all of those uh going to get Thrawl and [laughter] Okay, wait. I think I favorite, actually. >> us being so happy until we realize he's

[39:50] playing enhancement. And then we're >> change my vote? Uh you can if you want, want to choose that one. Oh. Yeah, yeah. Uh that's So, you can have that one if you want. >> Okay, I will have that one. I I will

[40:02] Which one are you choosing then? I can watch all of these and not laugh, you know, cuz I've seen them all before. >> Except the sausage eating competition, which I think might be not just our best skit of all time, but the the

[40:15] thing ever committed to film. Like, there are there there is an outtake of us trying to record that, which goes on for like 10 minutes, and we couldn't do for like 10 minutes, and we couldn't do it. It was too funny. Yeah. Um Yeah.

[40:28] I would say that's that's tied for number one with me. Oh, two excellent sketches. The intro sketch start to get like a little bit more sparse as we go into Shadowlands and uh BFA, but I think there are some genuinely really good

[40:43] like we saved them up for big moments. >> Let's take a look at our Shadowlands >> Let's take a look at our Shadowlands selection. >> Pitiful mortals, your foolish rebellion is at an end. Prepare to meet your

[41:00] is at an end. Prepare to meet your eternal doom as death comes for the soul >> Damn, I knew we shouldn't have tried to take on the Jailer in week one. >> Okay, Zovaal, I'm going to give you one chance to surrender or you'll regret it.

[41:14] >> [laughter] >> Ha ha, foolish champions. I am the lord of the maw, the ruler of Torghast. I command the armies of death. What can you possibly do to hurt me? >> He's got a really good point, Evie. I

[41:27] say we go back to running mythic zeros. >> Okay, fine. You had your chance. Cower before us, Jailer, as we break your pots. What? No, don't do that. Oh, hey. Nice pots,

[41:42] Jailer. Would be a shame if someone were to break them. Stop doing that. Those are my pots. >> How many more pots have you got, Zovaal? >> How many more pots have you got, Zovaal? I could do this all day. Stop it. I

[41:54] really like those pots. Do you give up? >> Yes, fine. I'll do anything you like. I'm sorry, just don't break any more of my pots. See? I told you this was going >> I can't believe you broke his pots. I did what had to be done. I don't know

[42:09] you anymore. >> Knowledge is power. >> Oh, hi Evie. I'm just down because I finished the last of the Covenant

[42:21] campaigns, which means now this patch is basically over. Oh, that is sad. Are you sure there's nothing left to do? >> I'm certain. I finished the raid, I item level. >> Hello Taliesin.

[42:35] upgraded my Covenant Sanctum. >> Taliesin, I need you to do something for me. Got all my transmog and mounts, maxed my reputations, I even finished >> Wow, nice one. >> It was horrible.

[42:50] >> And there's nothing else to do? I'm sure. >> Taliesin, I have lots of quests for you here. I haven't seen you since week two, >> Who was it? >> no idea, probably some sales call.

[43:03] Anyway, [music] I just wish there was more to do to keep me occupied. >> Yeah, it's a shame there isn't any more. Oh, wait, of course there's more. How

[43:15] >> of more to do? >> Of course I did. >> Wow, you're really desperate. >> Knowledge is power.

[43:28] >> Hey Ian, when I got your call I came right away. What's the important mission you need me for? >> Oh, hi Josh. Well, as you know, we're all really excited about 9.1. Oh boy, is 9.1

[43:42] not. >> Oh, oh boy. Do we have a release date? We don't. Okay, well that sucks. >> Yeah, and I need to find out why. So, through this door is the office of the head of 9.1 development who promised

[44:00] that the patch would be finished months ago. So, I need you to go in and ask what the problem is. I mean, you're the game director Ian. Isn't that kind of >> totally. But I'll be honest, I find him kind of scary. I really need your help.

[44:14] >> Okay, fine. Hey, 9.1 guy. I was playing on my shaman the other day and something happened which made me realize that we really [music] When's it going to be done? >> Guy, it'll be done when it's done. I'm

[44:27] working really hard, okay? Do you think it might be done soon? Oh, yeah, yeah, sure, no problem. It'll totally be done by the end of the >> That sentence doesn't [music] make any sense. Well, I got some big creative

[44:41] decisions to make which can't be rushed. As soon as it's done, I'll let you know, >> Okay, you promise? >> Yeah, yeah, sure. >> Yeah, yeah, sure. I think that went

[45:01] >> too late. Yet the night's power wanes. Tyrande, we tried to tell you. Night Warrior is looking at some pretty heavy [music] nerfs in 9.1.

[45:15] >> she's still Night [music] Fae. >> Oh, Tyrande, did you not read the patch >> Oh, the moon, do not forsake me. To be honest, Night Warrior is more of a 9.0 system [music] anyway. Really, you're getting your

[45:30] >> she didn't even upgrade her legendary. >> Did you upgrade your legendary to I bet >> Okay, this is fine. But yeah, you're going to need to go run some Torghast, >> [music] >> Can you hear me? And this

[45:44] >> Can you hear me? And this Knowledge is power. >> Hey, Tally. How's the mage tower going? >> Oh, hi, Evie. Yeah, really well, thanks.

[45:57] >> I guessed you must be having fun because you've been playing it for hours. How many did you beat? Um, well, look, you know what I always say about winning, right? That's just elitist. Sometimes, I like to do content just for the pure,

[46:10] simple, unbridled pleasure of it, you know? Just for the fun. So, honestly, I haven't even been keeping track of all the ones I've beaten. Oh my god, you >> Hey, they're really hard, okay? >> Not even the disc priest one?

[46:25] >> Hey, they buffed the worm, okay? Well, look, it doesn't matter because I've just started a little business venture that might be right up your alley, Mike. >> Oh, hey, Tally. I heard you were a total failure at Mage Tower. Mike Ybarra?

[46:41] That's my name. Since I already defeated all 36 challenges in the first hour they >> Man, he is such a child. >> I know, right? once-in-a-lifetime boosting opportunity courtesy of Evvie

[46:57] Mike Boosting Services. For just 2 million gold, I'll take care of your pesky Mage Tower problem and get you that [music] sweet, sweet transmog. But, don't delay. This is a limited-time offer cuz I've got to go solo a plus 28

[47:10] other side keys at six. >> This is your new business? Isn't it great? Me and Mike are equal partners and get paid the same. and get paid the same. >> Uh, yep. Mhm, the same. Absolutely. Me

[47:22] and Evvie, totally the same pay. Equal in equal. We do get paid the same, >> Oh, hey. Anyone want some milk? >> Knowledge is power.

[47:37] welcome to another episode of the weekly reset in 9.2. There is no one who is not having a good time. And you know me, Internet, I'm to go out on a limb here, and I'm going to say that this, right here, marks a

[47:53] sea change in the way that World of Warcraft is delivered. No more content droughts, no more big waits for announcements. 10.0 is just around the corner and you can quote me on that. It is a good time to be a World of Warcraft

[48:07] player. >> [music] to another episode of the weekly reset.

[48:21] I am predicting the announcement of [music] the new expansion 10.0. I know I've said this before, but this time time I've really got a feeling.

[48:36] Is there anybody there? anybody there? Knowledge is power.

[48:48] >> Oh, hi Evie. I'm just having real difficulty with this treasure chest. tough, hey? >> Yeah, seriously. This one is like particularly annoying. What could it be? Honestly, I'm like so close to giving up

[49:04] Taliesin the word is valor. Oh, no. Ah, I really thought that was going to work. going to work. The word is honor.

[49:19] Uh, probably not, Southbank. No, we already know there's not an O for the second letter. That's kind of obvious. Oh, uh, then it might be tutor? You know what? It is. It's tutor. Hey, two ciphers, nice. Thanks, dads. Tally, who

[49:34] are you talking to? Hm? What? No one. What? Knowledge is power. >> [music] >> Oh, wow. I am so excited for a new dawn

[49:46] play. >> Me, too. >> Oh, right, good one, yeah. We want to make our new Horde allies feel welcome >> Here they come now. I don't know, Evie, they seem a bit rough-looking. Are you

[50:00] sure this is going to work out? >> Only one way to find out. To a dungeon. Hero, hero, please. Hero. >> Lost, lost, LOST, YOU WATCH your mouth

[50:12] around my wife, dude. These Horde guys are very horny, Evitel, which is great, inappropriate. I don't know if this is going to work out. >> If only there was something we could all really bond over. Like something we

[50:24] >> Man, this healer really sucks, right? >> Oh boy, yeah, tell me about it. >> Totally, the absolute worst. >> Hang on, I'm the healer. Oh yeah, he >> You did it, Tally. You brought Horde and Alliance together in friendship and

[50:37] understanding at last. >> Can we kick him? Oh yeah, absolutely. >> I quite enjoyed that. [laughter] I QUITE SHADOWLANDS WASN'T SO BAD, WAS it's funny cuz I don't know if you remember, but some [\h__\h] went down IN

[50:52] >> AND AS I WAS GOING THROUGH THE WEEKLY RESETS, I was like, oh yeah. but >> there were there were more, but um, serious turn, and then there were moments where we were like, well, should

[51:08] we get back to doing some goofy skits? [laughter] [laughter] I am I am so glad, so glad that we were cool. I think like that's one of the that's one of the best best time capsule

[51:21] like examples of the entire thing. The The we're getting paid the same, right? The we're getting paid the same, right? [laughter] Like just What I like about the Shadowlands ones is it's the first time where there's

[51:36] like a consistent camera quality going on, which is quite nice. I quite like that. I That's yeah, big fan of that. Um, you know, there's the one where I Uh you know, again >> gets that reference.

[51:49] of the perfect shot. >> The the [laughter] the Wuzzle one's a bit weird because I KNOW I KNOW BUT IT'S LIKE IT'S LIKE A COMBINATION of little puzzle games. Uh the cinematic the Anduin cinematic

[52:02] that just came out. Um oh, we we cut the uh Anduin being a moody teenager one. I liked that one. That one took me so long to film. You have no idea. Anyway, there's one like literally when the

[52:15] pandemic kicks off and like we you know, we make a joke about like the Blood >> Yeah, I thought you were going to put that one in. did [laughter] it just like

[52:28] okay. >> even wears a little mask in it. >> Your dad is in the Shadowlands one. Which [laughter] Well, my dad just they content was so slow in Shadowlands and we're waiting for stuff for so long. And

[52:41] you know, it just I thought it'd be hilarious to kind of have me just get wonder if anyone's even going to get this joke. How much does my dad look like me? I don't know, but instantly everyone completely got it. Everyone was

[52:53] like, "OH MY GOD, HOW DID THEY MAKE TALLY OLDER? I DON'T GET IT. WHAT AI TALLY OLDER? I DON'T GET IT. WHAT AI TRICKERY WERE THEY USING?" [laughter] like a close-up of my face looking confused?" And I was like, "That's just

[53:06] the internet style, Dad. It's all good. Think of it like Beckett, right? It's a yeah. Decision time. >> Okay, decision time. Uh my favorite from the Shadowlands era uh definitely has to be the cross-faction play one. I think

[53:22] [laughter] as as a whole, like uh for some reason the like the the filming quality is extremely peep show. Like we're kind of >> As opposed to just the performances. >> Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

[53:36] You know, and like very like very much kind of like that. And uh the I mean, the the jokes make me laugh. The animations are great. The like punching the guy and it's just it just makes me laugh every time I see it. Me

[53:50] Which is like, yeah. And uh, and then at the end where we all unite in our kind of disdain for the healer. It's like it just brings it I favorite. How about you? >> I'm going to go for, much as I love the

[54:05] I have to go for [\h__\h] on my gibara. >> Oh, yeah. >> to be. It's got to be in there. >> it's it's kind of like just a seminal are some videos from Shadowlands I'm just generally very proud of about like

[54:18] the whole scandal and things like that. >> was. I wouldn't call it a treat going through those videos, but there is like there is a moment where the tone changes >> [laughter] >> and then we kind of come back and then

[54:32] things feel okay and then they really go to [\h__\h] again. And let's move on to Dragonflight. And we are going to include the announcement of War Within and the live sketch at

[54:46] BlizzCon in the Weekly Reset live. So, be warned guys for that one, the sound quality is not very good. My lavalier mic was underneath my playful pirate and it kind of rustles a bit and peaks a bit, but if you can get through the

[54:58] quite good. But, I think it's worth it as well as a little time capsule. So, into Dragonflight.

[55:10] >> Hey, the drug dealer here. Welcome to Stormwind friends. >> yourselves at home. It is so awesome to have real life dragons be part of the team. Oh, nice to be here. You are all so friendly and welcoming and what is

[55:25] gate. >> What dragon head? >> That's just Onyxia. We had to kill her. But, don't worry, she was a bad dragon. We would never hurt you guys. We love dragons.

[55:38] >> What's that above your head? What? Oh, this? Oh, yeah, that's just my dragon Sorry. It's an old one. Don't worry, they were totally bad dragons. they were totally bad dragons. >> Yeah, really bad. But normally, we love

[55:52] dragons. We're friends with all the dragon aspect. Oh, you were friends with >> Uh, well, no, we had to kill him. >> To be fair, he was trying to destroy the entire world. We're friends with all the other aspects, like, um, oh, who's the

[56:06] blue dragon guy? Malygos. >> We killed him. Yeah, okay, we killed Malygos, but who's the time one? Nozdormu. We are great friends with him. >> No, wait, Nozdormu is still alive. >> Yeah, we killed future him, and we will

[56:19] kill him like, forever or something. >> Okay, yeah, well, time is weird. Ysera. Ysera and me, we're like this. >> We did actually kill Ysera, too. yeah. >> Is there a dragon aspect you haven't

[56:34] killed? Yeah, of course. >> We've never killed Alexstrasza. Isn't that funny, Alexstrasza? You're like, the only original dragon aspect that we've never killed. Funny. Funny. Knowledge is power.

[57:50] >> [music] >> Wow, the new Dragonflight title screen. >> Yeah, it is. Although, I can't help but feel like there's just something missing. >> Oh, I know. It needs a dragon. Like,

[58:03] this is the Dragon Isles expansion. It needs a big ass dragon to swoop down and are absolutely right, Evie. Stay there. I'm going to make this happen. COME ON. UH TALLY, is everything all right? COME

[58:18] ON. OH, HI EVIE. YEAH, IT'S FINE. I was just going to fly this dragon onto the move for some reason. Did you collect all your dragon riding glyphs to level >> Uh yeah, of course I did. Also, what are dragon riding glyphs? Where do I find

[58:32] >> Yeah, that dragon's not moving, Tally. Sorry. >> Don't worry, Evie. I've got an even better idea. Uh are you sure this is a good plan, Tally? Uh yeah, of course. What better

[58:45] way to fly than in a hopeium blimp? Come on up and join me, Evie. The view is on up and join me, Evie. The view is amazing. Uh aren't hopeium blimps kind >> you don't believe all that nonsense, do you? I mean, it's true that hopeium is

[58:58] an incredibly flammable gas, sure. And yes, there have been some truly horrific accidents involving it in the past, but it's perfectly safe collected together long as there are no major disappointments around to get caught on,

[59:12] wrong? >> Tally, look out for them. Oh no. Man, this keeps happening. Knowledge is power.

[59:28] >> Oh, hi Evie. Uh This is really awkward, sorry. But I'm actually kind of already in the middle of a dungeon right now with my buddies. Oh, really? You have >> Yeah, I have buddies. Who are your buddies? My friends from Exile's Reach.

[59:42] >> Don't let them hear you call them that, Evie. That is so rude. You're running a follower dungeon. >> Well, yeah. I'm leading a follower dungeon. The computer-controlled guys

[59:54] kind of looks like they're doing all the work, honestly. Don't be silly. This group is nothing without me. Yeah, keep killing the boss, buds. Great work. What's that? What? Talie, did your follower group just vote to kick you?

[1:00:08] I mean, it actually does look like that's what's happened, yeah. That must be a bug. That can't be right. Hey, Captain Garrick, I think you just passing on all the loot like I told you to. Yeah, Talie, it's not working out,

[1:00:22] >> You might want to go back to the starting zone, get some more experience. report that bug. Do you know another dungeon? I've actually just remembered [music] I'm busy. Knowledge is power. Oh, wow. It feels so amazing to be back

[1:01:31] UM OKAY, TALLY. I'M SORRY, BELL. Uh >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> He loves it. >> I never said it was pirates, Evitel. I said it was privateers. I said it was

[1:03:39] I did say that, didn't I? Oh, and you did predict Void Storage. >> Yeah, that was a very left-field and out-there prediction. Yeah. Very insightful. Come on, Tally. [music] I trust you. We trust you.

[1:04:02] >> DO YOU THINK BELL WILL STILL EAT MY [\h__\h] IN HAIR? Okay, sure, Tally. Let's go. Just get your tie on, okay?

[1:04:19] >> It was a different time, [laughter] wasn't it? There's just such a shift from like the Shadowlands to to the Dragonflight era. And I know what you're weren't many Dragonflight ones, were there?" And that was pretty much all of

[1:04:31] them as well. Yeah. Uh but you got to remember, right? Okay, so during the recordings of Dragonflight, and you can see it happen on those videos, we have a baby. Yeah, another baby. Well done. Um and also move house. So, there's a bit

[1:04:44] where um well, that's the Scar one, for example. Uh your mom was staying in the the office where we usually like record, and you're obviously busy with a baby. in front of the streaming setup and having to get all the different angles

[1:04:58] hottest day of the year, just sweating profusely as the day went on. Um and hear it in the Hoopy and Blimp one. It's the first thing we recorded in this entire room, and it was all still just like plaster and like empty, and you can

[1:05:13] >> There's an amazing thing like watching those videos cuz you do get yeah, this established office in the old house and then suddenly there's just kind of a desk in a room and it's empty and there's like literally bare plaster

[1:05:29] behind you and then like maybe there's some bricks that show up and then like experimenting with cuz we had to like hide the wall and and the sound is insane. So yeah, you get a little glimpse of that. You know, you see that

[1:05:44] well. >> But the question is Evie, which is your favorite? Uh easily this one. My favorite is you and the task car. I love I love like a dialogue free skit.

[1:06:01] dialogue free skit? >> Yeah, yeah, it's it's good it's an it's a nice pallet cleanser. One because it's so like joyful and two because you know, so like joyful and two because you know, all of the humor or lack of humor is in

[1:06:14] just you acting it out. It's just like purely performance based and because of that it makes me giggle. Awesome. >> you? Well, I love the live weekly reset we had doing it and it went so much

[1:06:27] weekly reset that that happened and I thought that was great and the audience I really really went with it. >> Yeah. But But I think I'm going to have >> Oh, I can see it. Even though it's echoey and bad

[1:06:41] indicative of the time, you know, everyone was so hopeful about Dragonflight but they were so cautious after Shadowlands, you know? >> [snorts] >> very cautiously optimistic, you know,

[1:06:55] and I just love the metaphor of like the hopeium blimp. It's like highly combustible, very dangerous, could set in flames at any time and I like that. I yes, I'm going to choose the hopeium blimp. Very nice.

[1:07:07] >> [laughter] >> Okay, so now we move on to much more recent stuff, uh which will need no introduction. War Within.

[1:07:21] >> Oh, yeah. Another new Alpha build. You ready to dive in, Tally? Uh no, Evie. No, I I don't think I'll be doing Alpha this week. You go ahead. Enjoy yourself. Wait, what do you mean? You love Alpha because having it makes you feel

[1:07:34] your favorite emotions. feel like it this week, Evie. And what's really important is that you understand it has nothing to do with all the spiders, okay? Don't write on the

[1:07:47] because of all the spiders cuz it's got nothing to do with them. And actually, I felt like I just didn't want to play Alpha this week before I even saw any Alpha this week before I even saw any spiders. Oh. Okay. Hey, did you know we

[1:07:59] can just get rid of the spiders? No way, really? Yeah, we can use the new >> Oh my goodness, that's amazing. Thank Medson. I can finally play the Alpha again. I mean, it turns out that thing I

[1:08:12] anymore. So, I can play Alpha with you. And I think the first thing we should test for science is the spider filter. Sure. There we go. No more spiders. Wait, it turns them into crabs? Crabs are the only thing in the world I fear

[1:08:28] Really? >> Evie, they're everything scary about spiders except with armor and huge chubby claws. And they walk sideways. LIKE, WHO WALKS SIDEWAYS? THEY'RE JUST ALL TYPES of wrong. No, IF IT'S ALL

[1:08:41] CRABS NOW, I'm done with this game, seriously. Okay, well, I did foresee this eventuality, which is why I pulled some strings and got a special Tally filter put in the game, too. What do you think? I think this is the best

[1:08:55] expansion ever, and it's time to play some Alpha. Knowledge is power. >> Do you like it, Tally? >> I mean, I'm just not sure I understand

[1:09:09] it. I've never been able to get my head round this modern art. Well, what does round this modern art. Well, what does it say to you? I don't know. Like ball? Like ball with cracks in it. Cracked ball. Cracking fireball with

[1:09:25] fire cracks. Fire in its cracks and the balls. I don't know, you're the expert. Yeah, that's pretty much what I get too. Okay, look, I know it's not the most exciting login screen in wow history. >> Or sensical, but I don't want to judge

[1:09:39] until we get the music. You know, the music is going to really make this pop. Oh, what's that? It's an alert from Wowhead. Apparently, they've data mined Do you want to hear it? >> Oh, yeah. Now you're talking.

[1:16:34] >> Oh, man, these are so like I love the the login screen one. That one just IT'S HARD TO REMEMBER NOW, RIGHT? Because obviously the login screen didn't end up like that. But the crushing disappointment from everyone

[1:17:25] >> It's so dumb. And uh you know, then of course I betray you and then like when I first started watching that one, I was like, "Why is my shirt done shirt up so high like that? And then I was like, "Oh, it's so I can undo it."

[1:17:37] >> Just like, "Yeah, yeah, I understand now. Okay." You're going for that one? I >> Okay. I think I'm actually going to go for the driving round with our kids one only because I love your face in it. Oh, thanks.

[1:18:02] >> [laughter] >> It's really evocative. Yeah. It's uh still true to how they are now. >> And I also another little kind of Easter intended but is only with hindsight is where Annie goes, "I want two." And um

[1:18:16] Penny goes, "I want three." Because now she always goes, "Me three." this thing." She goes, "Oh, me three." Instead of me two. It's just her little >> she does. So I like that and so that gets my vote. Are we are we doing any
