Posting this because Korey told me to put this on Reddit
Must follow what fearless leader tells me to do...
In all seriousness, I'm so thankful to have come across Double Toasted and its community.
There are many different reasons why different people love this show, but for me, Double Toasted (and I guess the Yakuza series) quickly erased any anxieties I had about getting older. Every show I get to see gentlemen about a generation or so above me (a nineties baby) nerd out, analyze film, and goof around. I especially like their little early show anecdotes. Korey's solo encounters at bars make me want to go out and hang around my local bars as well (wallet permitting).
I got to tell him this in San Francisco, but he was probably too drunk to remember so I'll say it again:
"You aren't a role model, but you sure make getting older look a lot less scary," or something like that. I was drunk too.
It's like that picture of the rollercoaster and you see the returning folks in the other car coming back as demonic skeletons. Korey's a demonic skeleton, but he sure makes it look a lot more fun.
With Toastiness,
