Worlds Beyond Number: Everything About Elks

LOU WILSON LOOKING BACK WAS THE FUNNIEST FUCKING THING EVER. Sorry 😅 v late sleepy comment

That was SUCH a great interlude and even more magical for the serendipitous ELK! <3

I was going to ask what Johnny Tight Lips was doing over there, but Brennan and Lou beat me to it

Anyone else out here singing "shake that leppiteppi, that leppiteppi"?

I think my favorite part of this whole video is Lou not turning around at all while he makes his tea. 😂

I am hoping you are able to use that space for other podcasts, content, and maybe rent it out for recording, to maximize your return on creating such a great space to work in, I cannot fathom you working in there 40 hours a week, but do recognize how much it frees you up to do more of what you love!

That is absolutely incredible and speaks highly not just of how in sync you guys are about storytelling but how finely textured a world you have grown that what already was lead you both to what should be. Also - Brennan, did you know that the word ‘krimskams’ is actually used in Denmark (and perhaps the rest of Scandinavia), meaning something like knickknacks, doodles, and various thingamabobs? If so, how vast is your insight actually and when will you release the official Mulligan Reader on Folklore, Language and other Esoterics? I’d buy it.

This was delightful! When I saw the title was 'All About Elks' I assumed it would be Erika talking about how big Gallop's ass is. Instead we got this message about serendipity and Johnny Tightlips.

Perfect and stunning

Oh and I don’t see anyone talking about it, but I love Aabria’s shirt!

When Brennan said “I call it Fantasia” I was like “oh, like the singer?” 😂

Absolutely bananas

I'm on Lou's side. I'm always on Lou's side.

I love elks, I used to get to see herds of them regularly. One time, when my husband and I were at a ranger station in the Olympic National Park and he did his impression of an elk call, the rangers all looked toward the sound with shock and then told him that he sounded EXACTLY like an elk, and that he should NOT do that outside. 😂

I'm looking forward to the next fireside chat with special guest Johhny Tightlips

If Brennan had an audible reaction when Erika said "Elk," the great sound design of hooves and snuffling covered it up. In the video Erika says they were surprised that Brennan seemed excited about the elk, but all we hear from him, after Gallop's full description, is a quiet, "Beautiful."

"Hell, gang!" The catchphrase of Wennan Wee Wulligan

Erika: “so when you’re groping through the dark of the night, hoping for a touch of warmth or a spark of creation” Aabria: ✋🫢🙂‍↔️🦀🦀🦀 The visual reactions are fryingggg me today! 😂 love getting a video clip

Aabria: “why are you guys talking about the CHRISTIAN GOD like he’s some mythical thing. The lord touched both of you and said elk!” Erika: 😳🫣😨🤔 The fact that Erika’s primary job is voice actor is so funny to me because they have the MOST EXPRESSIVE face in the biz and it consistently makes me crack up

It's an Alf Gappen's Day Miracle!

I adore it when these folks astonish each other.

Omggg!! This is so great to hear. So— ok is it the SAME ancient primordial elk?? Or does she just have an Elk Magnet? 😂🦌

Hell Gang!

This is wild fun

I was really hoping the answer was pure serendipity and it's even better than I thought because I, the listener, forgot that Erika, the player, didn't even know what Nif's familiar was yet. Really and truly Big Brain Shit up in here.

HELL GANG *dies*

and many Lepi-Tepis to you!

Johnny Tightlips😂😂😂. The synergy of magic that is woven within WBN creativity is amazing.

It’s a shame Lou couldn’t make it to the video but was glad to see Johnny Tyteluips.

Happy holidays to Erika, Aabria, Brennan, Johnny Tight Lips, and the rest of the WBN crew!

So when is johnny tightlips guesting on a fireside chat? Id love to hear what he's got to say

Happy holidays all 🙌🏻 aho ho ho and crackle crackle!

I learned that when Lou is experiencing what is colloquially known as the unique feeling of being “butt hurt” - he makes à the teeeaaa!! J/k all love to Lou and whatever was going on there in their cute realm. — More importantly - F U N K YES!!! How whimsically and chest-lightening-ly (yes I know, grammar!) beautiful to know it was serendipity surrounding the sacred elk.

AH-mazing. Hell yeah.

Ok, sappy comment time! I have always really struggled with Christmas time because bad relationships with my mother, capitalism is hell, and general ba humbugery. But Alf Gappen's Day is a new holiday tradition that I am going to start celebrating💜 it brings me so much joy, especially as a fiber artist that loves giving knit and quilted gifts💜 thank you for such an incredible Alf Gappen's Day gift! I wear it on my hat with love💜💜💜

Genuinely did not even see Lou standing there until the slow turn after calling him “Jonny Tight-lips.” What an icon.

Ellllllllllllllllllk

My favorite part of this video was Lou's incredible commitment to that pot of coffee

So Johnny Tightlips needs to come to the Fireside

Further proof that literal magic exists, nestled in stories 💜

This was so cute it should be illegal

Glad to see that Lou’s good friend, Johnny Tightlips, could step in for him in a visual medium while he’s traversing Panama.

A-hell-hell!

alf gappen bless us, every one (but this must be read in kermit the frog’s voice)

Y’all are adorable. Happy Alf Gappen’s Day!

I love Lou just chilling making tea in the background haha

lou making tea in the back for five straight minutes is killing me

wow!! i totally thought brennan decided on the spot that the child would be Nif when Erika chose an elk

The whole fate of Nif having an elk familiar being just fate overall is too magical. I hope one day she gets to meet the elk spirit again 🥹

I like elks. I wonder what facts I will learn t'day
