Listen Later

Jack announces in this segment to Acc and Mike the death of Stephen Wilhite, the creator of the GIF. Being the creator, Mr. Wilhite confirmed that it’s pronounced “jif,” though its pronunciation has been infamously debated. As it was a breeding ground for GIF images, Acc and Jack discuss “chan” boards like 4chan, which they feel has lost its relevancy over the years.

Wrapping up this episode, Jack features for Acc and Mike audio of an old woman singing Rob Zombie’s “Dragula” at a karaoke bar. This sparks a discussion about fun old ladies like Shirley Curry, known as the “Skyrim Grandma.” Listen for her voice in The Elder Scrolls VI, hopefully launching sometime in the next 20 years!
