For what it's worth, Toys R Us still exists in Canada.

So, no shade to the voice actor, but the pig man is *very* hard to listen to. Starts with slurping/eating into the mic. Then, I'm guessing in an attempt at "edgy humor," just gets vulgar and grotesque. I guess it vaguely establishes "pig guy bad" and Gaby is a magic fairy angel that will cut off his internet, or drag him to hell? if he doesn't get nicer. Something about Nathfield but I forget. Maybe she works at his whim or something.

Since both VAs pronounced it that way, it’s absolutely not a mistake. This leads me to believe Nathen’s name is pronounced “nath-en” and not “nayth-en” which is weird but unsurprising

The trip report was great, but one thing that you really have to listen to it to appreciate is how utterly bizarre it is to hear the actors try to make sense out of Nathen's writing. Some things, like the mangled grammar, are on him, but at other times I assume they only did one take because of how words are mispronounced. Is my hearing going, or at around 5:09 does she pronounce "satan" or "saint-an"?

Anybody familiar enough with Arabic to know how “Nathen” would be pronounced? Maybe that’s the key.

There are also official Toys R Us enclaves in Macy's in the US now, though visiting them is a lot more sad than nostalgic. Hopefully it's a stepping stone to them getting actual stores back at some point.

Pretty sure when he hired the actors and gave them the script, he just rambled his "vision" at them about trolls and boomers, and cleansing this bitch of an Earth, and maybe gave them their character image, and then disappeared, and what he got back had this mispronunciation of Nathfield because he never said it to them, and it was either too late to fix it and he didn't want to pay for another recording, or he just didn't notice bc that's "his editor's job" or something.

I just don't see a part two happening.

What's funny is if Nathen hired them directly you would think they'd make the Nathen/Nathfield connection but I guess it's absurd enough you don't make the connection unless you know Nathen like we do.




Ok so he apparently paid for "handsome sexy guy reactions" on this pic of Nathfield. Mneow!

I don’t think there will be a part 2 either because this was pretty clearly made because he’s mad at some guy on Reddit and wanted to get back at him. I guarantee you Nathen thinks that “podcast” was a massive own.
