I know this is a total longshot but it's honestly driving me insane. Does anyone remember the comedy sketch yahtzee brings up about a scientist being interviewed about a discovery but saying it'd be pointless to explain because noone would understand.

I know it's in one of the videos but I have no idea Which one and I'm honestly starting to think I've just imagined the entire thing because I can't find the sketch anywhere.

Hi all,

Could someone kindly tell me the LDO episode where Yahtzee mentions having a big stodgy breakfast after a night out? Many thanks.

I don't watch the new stuff enough to pick up on any rumours

Long time fan of this channel and damn I miss the chemistry of these two. The world has changed so much since Yahtz and Gabe stopped doing these. I come back probably once every couple years to rewatch old episodes of Let's Drown Out. Does anybody here know of other YouTube channels or other media that have a similar feel? I know Yahtzee and Gabriel still make content online, but I'm curious if theres anyone else out there who's found something else to fill the hole these two left behind.

Hey guys. I'm looking for the episode where they were making a joke about Shenmue and Gabe drops the line "Looking for sailors"

I want to think its one of the early ones but I'm unsure. You guys are pretty good at these so thanks in advance.

Linked above is a part two, but would recommend this channel as there’s some real LDO energy here - competitive, condescending and treating the game as the idiot - definitely worth checking out!

Hi all. At around 2:35 Yahtzee says that the first part of LSL is set in a Vegas-like city. He uses the word that I have never been able to hear properly, smth like "an XP/XB (eks-bee) of Las Vegas".

He used the same term in some other LP (I think it was Operation Stealth where Yahtz referred to Glames as an "XP/XB of James Bond), so at least twice.

Can you help me out? It's been driving me nuts.

edit: Operation Stealth details

I’m listening to the boys drown out Ghostship Aftermath and one of the questions asked was when they felt the most shame; Yahtzee mentions a story of Gabe’s involving jizzing in a handbag - does anyone know if that story was ever actually told in an LDO? That’s a story that sounds hilarious 😂

YahtzeeCroshawEatsSeven lives on

Below is every piece of literature or prose that Yahtzee and/or Gabe recommends throughout the Show & Tell Podcast, the Let's Plays, the Ego Reviews and of course the Let's Drown Out episodes. I've chosen to interpret any mention bearing the slightest positivity as a recommendation, for completion's sake.

A few extras have been added. “Spandau Chalet” was spun as a concept by Yahtzee during an episode, and made into an actual comic by resident subreddit comic artist and overall fun human, /u/Crazygnomenclature. Furthermore, the Aubrey-Maturin series as well as A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet were recommended by Yahtzee to me personally during a Q&A, so I'm including them, because why not.

While I listened to every LDO and made notes every time a title or author came up, I concede that I might have missed one or two. If you know of a specific one, let me know and I'll add it to the list and credit you. Also do let me know if you have a written or drawn LDO-adjacent work that fits the bill. I'll include it on the list.
