SHOW NOTES

Matt is constantly publishing funny stuff, often creating video mash-ups; hilariously dubbing films or recreating famous scenes using stock footage. Check out this thread of WandaVision intros recreated using stock footage.

We first encountered Matt through the Dungeons & Dragons comedy livestream Questing Time, in which he plays an amnesiac halfling called Phillin Blanks. There’s a lot of episodes to catch-up on through YouTube or jump straight in to their weekly shows on Twitch. It’s a real treat.

As Ben mentioned, bananas are technically not a fruit. Well, they are in some ways and they’re a herb in other ways. You can read this PBS article for more info: 8 things you didn’t know about bananas.

Liam couldn’t remember the name for the game, similar to Dungeons & Dragons, which is designed with a greater deal of flexibility. It’s Pathfinder and if you want to take a look here’s the official website.

The Simpsons Mod for Resident Evil 7 is hellish. Much, much worse than the vanilla game. Check out ToastedShoes playing it below.

HOW TO SUPPORT THE SHOW

Our plan is that this show will always be available for free, but super fans are encouraged to support The Conversation Hat via Patreon. We ask listeners to consider how much they pay for services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc, and apply the same logic to our show - do you feel our show is worth $1 a month? $5? $50? Whatever you think is right! We’re giving all our patrons an exclusive extra question from each episode and early access to each show. There’s also stickers and stuff. Check it out over on Patreon.

Alternatively, we’re pleased to announce the Conversation Hat Merch Store on TeePublic! We have shirts, hoodies, mugs and yes, of course, face masks!

If those aren’t your thing, then maybe this is for you: Super Loot want to deliver a box of nerdy merch and geek chic to your doorstep each month, and will do so for £19.99, (you can get your first one for £15!) Take a look, right flippin' now. Please. www.superloot.co.uk/ConversationHat

Or, if you'd like to support the show without spending any money, (which is fine by the way, I suppose), there are a few ways you can do that: feel free to follow us on Twitter and retweet anything you see us post; like us on Facebook and hit as many thumbs-up icons as you possibly can; Follow Odd Creative on YouTube, where you can watch some Conversation Hat videos and leave some nice comments too; leaving us a positive review on whatever listening platform you use is also massively helpful, especially so on iTunes.

For updates and such, you can sign-up to our mailing list right here.
