The bits in ghost files make this show so amazing. Shane and Ryan saying random shit is the highlight of the show. Don't get rid of the bits

Fr, I would watch 3 hours of “boring” footage of ghost hunts. I really feel like they need to listen to the fans and not be perfectionist!! We want the stuff they see as boring tbh lol. I’d love to see them set up at locations and discuss random stuff, or even talking in between ghost hunting moments

Igy and I love them but it can get a bit chaotic and repetitive if they are always channeling their chaotic energy. Like I love their banter, dont get me wrong, but I am also here for a ghost hunt and would appreciate a better balance. Because like they said, they'd have 10 seconds of silence which isn't enough imo. I love their jokes but sometimes the screaming is a bit much if its constant. This isn't hate, just an opinion based on comparing buzzfeed unsolved and ghost files

​​@@emmawills4112not necessarily Ghost Files specific, but I've thought this since the start of Watcher. Everyone in this company is entertaining enough that they could put out filler content of them just talking about nonsense and it'd still be entertaining and I'd watch every minute.

@@jessw391 I agree. Especially for Mystery Files. I really enjoy when they’re calmer like they were in Unsolved instead of constant ‘bits’ and jokes. Thats why I’ve never watched more than a few minutes of puppet history. It’s too scream-y for me lol. Of course we love when they joke around, but I prefer when they’re more speculative and serious for mystery files. LOVE these boys no matter what though!

Shane having “toddler clothing” ads after receiving an “anonymous letter” in the newest season premiere of Mystery Files of using company funds for puppet accessories/clothes?? Are toddlers comparable in size to puppets? Coincidence??? 👀😂

I do believe Liz is describing retail therapy... totally relatable! I practice having control by shopping online, but only put things into carts. I'll wait 24 hours before purchasing. 9 times out of 10 I never return to the cart, but I know I really want it if I go back.

The best thing about Ghost Files is all the bits, all the other ghost hunting shows take themselves way too seriously! Please keep in the bits!

I feel the podcast becomes Steven’s therapy session and he can discuss his stressors each time

Strawberry blonde Blane is a new era of watcher

My new trick for gift giving is to buy gifts throughout the year and stock up. Set time aside to peruse a store when doing your own shopping, and see if anything pops out at you that reminds you of someone in your life. Buy it and put it in a gift storage area. I have a huge family, with lots of birthdays and a big Christmas. The gifts aren't always perfect but they're personal imo, and let me tell you I am rarely stressed out about gifts anymore 😂

"We're talking pyjamas, shopping and comfort shows" Me, watching this comfort podcast in my pyjamas after ordering my favourite fast food: 👁👄👁

Steven talking about stealing bowls is a nice callback to the last episode (or the one before that) but y'all need to stop announcing your crimes 😂 Also, Lizzie is a dope co-host/guest, hope she comes back Edit: the Alien/Predator talk brings me a lil bit of joy 😌

The pajama convo had me rolling lmaoooo I also go to bed in a full sweatsuit Steven don’t worry also our feet regulate our body temp so when I’m cold I put socks on and when I’m overheating they’re the first to go AND IT WORKS

I used to work as a hostess at Olive Garden and have seen multiple wedding parties walk in. After the pandemic, many locations stopped reservations so yeah those brides were stuck waiting 45 min to an hour to eat our mediocre breadsticks for their wedding.

Shane saying he always likes the toddler clothes. SAME. I buy something from Gap, then seeing ads for Gap and see something I love and when I click it's from GapKids. Damnit, why can't adults like colorful things with animals on them too?! I want a sweater with a smiling sheep on it DANG IT!

Def with Lizzie on this one, Walking Dead is probably a top 5 comfort show for me, especially the first few seasons! Imo it just falls off in the end. But right now there's a spin-off about Rick and Michonne coming out called "The Ones Who Live" and they really stepped it up quality-wise, I'd totally reccommend it to anyone who enjoys a good horror romance haha

Big Lizzie fan!! I love her energy so much, it matches Shane’s energy really well

Shane knowing that lil Panera fact made my Midwest heart proud

Lizzie was such an awesome guest! Bring her on more lol

Crazy amount of Shane energy this show especially with the female version of Shane replacing Ryan for the day

As a female with long legs that also struggles to find pants that are long enough, it's amazingly comforting to know I am not alone in the struggle. I only ever hear about how the pants are too long for people and as horrible as it sounds it's refreshing to hear someone has the same struggle as I do lol.

No I actually get what Steven is saying. 😭 I’m really cold when I go to bed and my room is drafty, so I bundle up and then sometimes take it off when as I get warmer

FYI for Lizzy mentioning that she has unread messages she can’t find on her iPhone. If she has a Mac she can simply right click on her messages app on her Mac and it will display unread messages as options to directly open. She should hopefully be able to finally find and clear them that way

All Watcher content is my comfort viewing 🥰

Sean is the reason I love 50 First dates as well! He is so funny. 😂

BLANE COMEBACK YESSSSS

For all the stress Shane felt about being the middle and feeling the responsibility of hosting or mediating (which, hard relate), he did end up being sort of the bona fide host this episode and did a great job! Also, looove the vibe that Steven and Shane have when it's the two of them, and then add in Lizzie who is a really good conversationalist on a wide variety of topics and also a perfect companion to Shane's bits with them bouncing off of each other's "yes-and's" just makes for a wonderful episode!

The thing about the People's Choice Awards is just that it's now an internet popularity contest. In the 80s and 90s, many celebs did go to and accept People's Choice Awards (search Meryl Streep's acceptance speeches for example, they're sweet), because back then the ballots were sent in the mail. But now the winners are always going to be who the younger generation loves in that given year, so it's understandable that celebrities who have no chance to win don't see a point in going.

Steven you are SEEN. I support your pajama process for I do the same thing!!

For stocking stuffers, I kind of collect little things throughout the year. Stressing out because of time pressure makes my mind go blank (esp in Dec), so it's easier to just grab little things I know they will like/use when I come across it. Sometimes it's larger things (concert tickets) and sometimes it's tiny things (crystalized honey from a local spice shop). Terry's (dark) chocolate orange is a must as well! World Market has fun little trinkets for stockings around the holidays especially. I also am lucky that I live in an area that has a ton of craft fairs and markets, so I often find cute little things there. If the person you are buying for has a Christmas tree, a special ornament is always fun. For general gifts I often go to local bookstores. Even if you don't know their taste in books, they often have nice journals or calendars, plus cute little trinkets. Even a bookstore gift card and a lovely bookmark! I just got a friend a gift card from Away so she can choose her own suitcase, but got her a customized luggage tag as a part of the gift so she had something tangible to open (besides just a gift card). Another thing I will do is get small souvenirs when I travel that can double as gifts later on, such as tea towels, or locally made crafts.

Best idea I've heard lately! Please, make an episode of ghost files in black and white - like a silent movie with dialogue cards.

Shane's rose gold hair

Opening this ep to see Lizzie here WAS SUCH A HUGE DELIGHT!!!! also, the return of Blane!

I LOVE each new thing we learn about Steven. I was laughing so hard at his sweatshirt to bed bit. Why would anyone sleep like that? Delightful.

I'm glad I'm not alone in my hatred of shopping and gift giving. I absolutely loathe having to buy gifts for people so I've decided it's gift cards or nothing from now until I die.

I’m so happy I wasn’t the only one who agrees that the bits need to stay! I was so happy to see Lizzie on but please Lizzie don’t discourage Shane and Ryan’s shenanigans!!

Wearing jeans 5 minutes after I get home from work is utter and complete chaos

On Gifts: I always find the ones I like the best are things that are useful that I just don't think to buy for myself (because I am interested in certain areas and don't devote my resources to other areas). The best present I have received were some rugged shoes - I walk a fair amount and am on my feet at work (a cinema). And the best work secret Santa gift was a cup I use at work every day... I think gifts fall on a want vs need spectrum. And the other factor is price vs importance.

I am a Decent gift giver - just trying to turn the map around and figure out why people generally like my gifts 🤔🧐, also I much prefer giving gifts...I find it hard to accept things from others but always try to appreciate what people gift me (just appreciating the sentiment). Style also plays a big part for me... not that I am stylish, but things need to be within my wheelhouse of what I am comfortable with...so I suppose style / comfort would be another category.

My comfort show is Downton Abbey. I couldn’t tell you why, but I can watch it over and over.

Y’all- there are a million other ghost hunting shows, most of which take themselves very seriously. What makes your show stand out and what built your fan base with Unsolved was the dynamic with Ryan, which is massively built on bits. Unsolved was most certainly part comedy based and that’s what made it unique and engaging.

You guys have no idea how happy this made me 🥲

Blane is BACK BABYYYY

I usually crochet while binging Watcher and got so excited for Lizzie to mention the Woobles! 😭💖 I haven’t tried one of their kits, but I love that more people are learning a craft I care deeply about.

ADD LIZZIE AS A PERMANENT 4TH HOST!!

Lizzie sounds just like Sophia Bush! It was driving me crazy trying to figure out who it reminded me of. She looks like her too. Love her as a host!

Every Monday right before work, I watch this. It’s so chill and really sets the best tone for my day. Thank you all for what you do ❤️ love seeing Lizzie. Shane, your watch was WAAAY too loud 😂 Stephen, you’re such a sweet human.

Me when Steven says, that seems weird to be on TLC: oh you sweet summer child.

Steven makes me feel so seen. I did not expect for him to be my spirit animal

the sopranos is just amazing. the psychology of the show is legit too. ive analyzed things in my own life because of it. i definitely recommend watching the 'talking sopranos' video podcast of it. its so funny watching steve and michael interview the actors from the shows episodes. they all seem like such nice ppl too. its a national tragedy that we lost james gandolfini at such a young age. 😢

I’m a gifter. I love finding the perfect gift for my friends/family. My trick… All year round I keep notes from convos of things that my friends mentioned as things that they’d like and if they haven’t bought by the holidays I get them one. Example: my friend says Id love an air fryer…writes that in my phone notes, come thanksgiving I notice they still don’t have an air fryer I grab one on sale for xmas 😂. Sometimes I’ll stumble upon something that reminds me of a funny story from our childhood and I’ll get those too. Me and my best have a story of a trip we took and “mad moose”, we can’t help but get each other moose things lol.

I dislike shopping too, i have to do a ton of research before I can decide and I really think about whether I actually need it. Oh and I don't do gifts. Giving or receiving, unless it's food.

I'm here to defend Steven wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt to bed. If you are cold, this makes the most sense. What's the problem here? It's easier to sleep in a cold room, maybe Steven keeps his bedroom cold. I'm here for this.

this my favorite comfort channel ❤❤❤

I literally got a woobles ad while watching this

As a brit, I was so confused by the olive garden breadstick hype (i kept hearing about it online. It wasn't until my mid 20s that I find out that american breadsticks are very different to ours!

also steven maybe talk to your doctor about anxiety medication best thing I ever did for myself

I love this podcast!! It's always fabulous.

This is my favorite podcast. You guys are so entertaining and engaging 💜

Love the energy!

I love this podcast so much! Everyone is genuinely kind and funny!

LIZ!!!! We need more of her on every show, love her.

During the pandemic/ lockdown times, I got really into joggers, stretchy cotton pants (trousers) with elastic waistband, a really nice middle ground between "real clothes" and like sweats or pjs

Thank God for you guys today! Didn't had anything to listen while working ❤

pod watcher & the trypod are my comfort podcasts!! love them smmmm

I also start out sleeping in socks, Steven, so I get it. At least in the winter months.

Great episode!

Perfect especially on a rainy Monday afternoon 😌☕️

This episode comes at a time when I’ve been obsessed with watching My lottery dream home

I was literally thinking about blane earlier today omg I am so happy he's back

LOVE FOR LIZZIE, hope we get to see/hear her on this podcast again.

Right there with you Lizzie on Severance and Silo, adore!

Severance is sooooo good omg of course Shane loves it, I love it so much.

uncommon goods as well as bando has good gifts!

I love Shane's hair, I think the color suits him so much!!

I once gave someone what I thought was the perfect small gift, a comb that fit in their purse that also had the right size teeth for their hair texture. My other relatives got them tickets. To. Hamilton.

i love this show ❤

Pod Watcher Sleepover would be amazing though

The bits are what most people are there for! How can you not know that Shane...

my one tip for gift giving is to just do it year round - i get super stressed if i wait until the last couple of weeks and am put on the spot to think of something, but if i see something i think someone will like and just buy it and squirrel it away until the next holiday all the shopping is done already :)
