I’m as surprised and delighted as you that @rhettmiller.bsky.social from Old 97s is our guest this week!

Am I accidentally getting good at making video thumbnails?

I also love when this happens!

I love visiting the Magic Tavern, and I'm so happy to be back!!!

If you haven’t seen or don’t know about the great films of Robert Redford, just know that he’s also the star of some of your favorite memes.

Our Somerville live show (“Super Studs”) is this week’s main feed episode!

How you know you’re in a restaurant in Chicago.

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

In just over TWO WEEKS Hello from the Magic Tavern embarks the September leg of our #TavernTour2025 with stops in Charlotte, NC on 9/27 and Richmond, VA on 9/28. Will we see you there? Get your tickets here: hellofromthemagictavern.com/live-shows

Hint: the great @mistersniffen.bsky.social might be in a lot more of this episode than usual.

The Onion News Network truck is currently stationed outside the Broadview ICE Detention facility just outside of Chicago.

dream casting: Steve Martin Martin Campbell (director) Campbell Scott Scott Glenn Glen Campbell (music) Campbell Scott (again in a second role) Scott Frank (screenplay) Frank Grillo and introducing… Grillo Steve (a person I made up)

You’d think it would be difficult to laugh while taking selfie but @asherperlman.bsky.social’s new collection of New Yorker cartoons makes it easy!

Automa-Tawny the Automaton Townie (Tawny Newsome) is a clockwork robot that's a local in every town. She was also the winner of this year's March Magic bracket of powerful magic user despite little to no evidence of magical abilities. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Little known fact: the elderly man in the old Cracker Barrel logo was bisexual.

Enjoying my advance copy of Sean Malin’s “The Podcast Pantheon” (from @chroniclebooks.bsky.social). Honored that @magictavern.bsky.social is included in the “101 Podcasts That Changed How We Listen.” You can preorder here: www.chroniclebooks.com/products/pod...

So fun having @ifycomedy.com back. I love how his character gets weirder and weirder every time he returns to the show.

Lyft driver in a Tesla with an ipad mounted and displaying an AI image of his family, proclaiming “all glory to god” along with his Zelle/venmo deets.

New essay for McSweeney's! 🧝🚨

Glanced at an AARP magazine cover in a waiting room and this Rod Stewart headline feels like something Alan Partridge would write.

Delighted to have @petersagal.bsky.social back on the show. Very funny.

The partial dust jacket might have been a mistake. #filmsky #booksky 📽📚

She made her horse a Usidore costume!

Our NY live show with Steve Waltien is now available on our podcast feed. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

If you missed the #taverntour2025 City Winery NYC show, you can listen to it now! Usidore summons a version of Tomblain Belaroth (Steve Waltien) from before he was a king and before he wanted to kill Arnie. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Did you attend the first two shows of Hello from the Magic Tavern's #taverntour2025? We'd love to see your photos! Here are Arnie's.

ITS A FLOWER EPISODE!!

Returning to Hogsface means crossing the Ashit Bridge and dealing with Clovis the bridge troll (Padraic Connelly). Listen here for the latest episode: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

I would like a Jason Mantzoukas poster for MY room!

I was on @magictavern.bsky.social!! It’s a fun episode where my character, Aggie, runs a questionable animal rescue!

Excited to announce that for our NY show on 7/20 we’ll be joined by one of my funniest friends: Steve Waltien, the voice of Tomblaine Belaroth! Get those tix!

The Superman marketing team missed an opportunity to rename this part of Chicago's Ashland Ave. to Superman Ave. (Since Clark St. turns into it.)

Dan Bongino, like so many “manosphere” influencers, looks like his whole body is rejecting a hair transplant.

Saw this again last week. Still there. Slightly more faded.

NYT #connections making some wild choices lately

The last five minutes of a network news broadcast: “…and now the lighter side of everything being terrible.”

Sometimes the 4th means watching TCM with your parents and you don’t really care that you can’t see anything.

In trying times, remember that there are small ways to make a difference.

This week, enjoy this unlocked bonus episode of Shadow City featuring DM @anthonyburch.bsky.social. Crusher, Punches, and Ma are on prisoners on a chain gang and the only way out? Time travel! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Saw this missing Pokemon sign posted near a playground

But what’s Mamdani’s 10 Best Movies of the 21st Century?!!

Looks like an ad for Cryptkeeper: Origins.
