Watcher. A new network from Steven Lim, Ryan Bergara, and Shane Madej. 7 new series. 1 weekly talk show. Launching January 10th, 2020 on YouTube.

Let's talk about death. With puppets!

Hey everyone, Steven here! So glad you've found our weekly talk show. This'll be a place where we discuss behind-the-scenes, answer your questions about Watcher, and have special guests every now and again. Watcher Weekly episodes will be released every Wednesday, so let us know in the comments if you have any questions for our next episode!

You may know Zach from his nationwide tour, Legends of the Internet, or from his new york times best selling book The Hidden Power of F*cking Up, or more likely, as one of the charming Try Guys who have taken the internet by storm with 6.6 million subscribers in just a year and a half!

What happens when 3 creators with no business experience decide to make their own company? Join us as we take an honest look at the exciting (and horrifying) journey.

Hey Watcher gang! Steven here. Thanks for suggesting the seating change - felt a lot cozier and it was fun to be in the crossfire between Ryan and Shane. As we grow, we'll continue to listen your feedback on things we can do to make the content better! Don't forget - tomorrow we have a brand new series dropping called Weird and/or Wonderful World, and if you haven't already - check out our Patreon & merch store in the description box.

Let's look at some bones and talk to deceased celebrities in fabulous Burbank.

Steven Lim learns how to make the best version of a dish at a restaurant and then sees how that stacks up to a beloved homemade recipe.

How do restaurant dumplings stack up against a beloved homemade recipe? In Steven's brand new food show, Homemade, we take a deeper dive into the stories of classically homemade dishes and the cultural themes that underlie them.

A show where Ryan and Shane compare top 5 lists for topics that seem completely asinine yet somehow garner strong opinions. And then to add credibility to the mix, they compare their lists with that of an expert in the field.

It’s time to crown a fast food king. This week’s expert is Jon Yao, owner/chef of Kato, a Michelin star restaurant and the Los Angeles Times’ 2019 top restaurant in Los Angeles. LET’S LIST.

Where Steven Lim pays for your groceries (in exchange for a signature dish).

On today's episode of Grocery Run, we have the lovely PHILIP WANG. I've been a fan of Wong Fu Productions for many years now, so it was surreal to come full circle and have him as a guest on my show. Philip is one of the pioneers of YouTube and has always taken every opportunity to unite the Asian American community. In this episode, we talk about how YouTube has changed over the years, what Asian representation means to him, and choosing love over career. Thank you so much for coming on the show, Phil!

What’s the best way to explore a city? Tourist Attractions or Hidden Gems? Join Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej as they present the argument for the former and latter respectively, to determine which experience is KING.

Is this history's greatest grift? YOU DECIDE.

Today’s guest is world renowned DJ and music producer SAYMYNAME. You may know him from his collaborations with EDM superstars such as the Chainsmokers and AfroJack or from his residency at the Wynn in Las Vegas, or from lighting up main stages in the biggest music festivals across the world, all the while showcasing his signature sound known as Hardtrap, a kinetic fusion of hip-hop and EDM.

We have made a delicious mistake.

How do a professional chef's tamales stack up against a beloved homemade recipe? In Steven's brand new food show, Homemade, we take a deeper dive into the stories of classically homemade dishes and the cultural themes that underlie them.

Welcome to Hidden Narratives of the Coronavirus, a new podcast where Steven Lim speaks with Asian American leaders across industries about how the coronavirus has impacted our community. In this first episode, Steven Lim chats with Deuki Hong, the Korean-American chef and owner of Sunday Hospitality Group in San Francisco, California. On March 21, 2020, all three of his restaurants came to a screeching halt in response to the shelter-in-place mandate by Mayor London Breed of San Francisco. On the night of closing his last restaurant, Deuki recounts his last week of service and what it means to shut down his restaurants indefinitely due to the coronavirus.

One chip to rule them all, and 3 boys to find them. This week’s expert is Steven Lim, host of Worth It, and self-proclaimed food expert. LET’S LIST.

We may be socially distant but that doesn’t mean we can’t roll some D20s and lop the heads off trolls. Chapter 1: We meet our intrepid travelers at a mysterious tavern. Unbeknownst to them, an incident will occur that will link them for the unforeseen future...

On today's episode of Grocery Run, we have the ultra-talented MEGAN LEE. Megan is one of my closest friends in the entertainment industry and has a resume longer than a CVS receipt (at the age of only 24). Hope you enjoy and gain a bit of insight into the wild world of Hollywood through one of LA's finest people. Thank you so much for coming on the show!

Our travelers, Stephanos, Steve, and Quezza debate over venturing into a magic portal. Before they know it, a deathly troll and its stirges emerge from the portal and threatens the travelers' life....

Surviving that fateful disaster was only the beginning...

Chapter 3: Hitting the city streets of Waterdeep in their search for a missing man, the gang encounters a grisly crime scene and a gnome who puts Ryan's bard talents to the test.

Today’s guest is one of Watcher’s very own, and Ryan's ghoulfriend on BuzzFeed Unsolved, Mr. Shane Madej. You may know Shane as the resident skeptic on BuzzFeed Unsolved or as the charming Professor on Puppet History, or as the wizard of whimsical on Weird Wonderful World. But also you may know Shane if you know me, seriously at this point, I’d be surprised if that wasn’t true.

Chapter 4: Entering a seedy tavern, the gang attempts to win over an unwelcoming crowd with the gift of song, then find themselves in combat with horrifying creatures at a local warehouse...

Apologies to the bard.

Chapter 5: The gang finds a dreamy friend in a warehouse, then straight-up drop into a river of feces in the sewers of Waterdeep, where a menace awaits.

On today's episode of Grocery Run, we have the most incredible humans in the world, Maia & Alex Shibutani. Aside from their long list of accomplishments which you can easily track down on Wikipedia, I've had the pleasure of getting to know them as friends over the years. The one thing that impresses me the most is how much love and care they put into everything that they do from ice skating to their philanthropic work to their individual friendships.

Chapter 6: In today's adventure: murder.

This is harder than you think. This week’s expert is Hoai-Tran Bui (@htranbui), writer at /Film, and host of the Millennial Falcon podcast. LET’S LIST

Chapter 7: Steve is out of luck, Qezza's bloodlust knows no quenching, and Stephanos has a few withering words to impart.
