#The Foxhole Cast

[thefoxholecast]

just listened to the new episode and i’ve become so fully convinced that andrew is actually on court-mandated cocaine. like this is some alternate universe where people play edgy lacrosse sponsored by the yakuza and get prescribed cocaine for depression.

😂 I sent this to Nate and he said:

Omg you figured it out. The TFC universe, despite being modern in all other respects, still has a fucked up early 1900s era medical system! Coach Wymack just has an infinite prescription of opium or something. And Kevin has liquor to steady his nerves. And Neil has therapeutic bloodletting many times throughout the series.

My foxhole court sketches from 10 years ago are getting attention again, and I just… can you folks like my newer stuff? Please? /jk keep it up thank you!

“Two, five, ten years from now, if Neil was even still alive, he’d still be alone. He could be anyone, anywhere in the world, but he’d be alone.”

Neil and his ticking clock. For a majority of the books, it was Neil and the upending weight of having to give up the Foxes for the inevitable ending his father wrote for him. He spent the first two books with a noose hanging around his neck…but then came Andrew. Then came the boy who promised people the impossible and didn’t ask for anything back. In the end, Neil Josten wouldn’t die a lie and he wouldn’t die alone.

My main observation is how Neil and Kevin sort of switched endings. Ever since Kevin would remember, he always had a partner by his side — whether that was Riko or unofficially Jean and then Andrew. Kevin always lingered around the orbit system of someone else; there was always a presence he could count on to help him. Then Neil went missing and Andrew wanted to tear the entire stadium down bolt by bolt until he found him. Then Kevin realized that Andrew’s love for Neil would surpass that promise that Andrew gave him. Those hands around his neck, those red indents, are a reminder that now he is not Andrew’s priority and for a man who spend his entire life with a rope tied around his waist to someone else that must have been terrifying. But, he had made Andrew the promise that Kevin will give him something to build his life around — a reason to keep going until that reason blurred into so many others: Neil.

So, in the end, Neil wouldn’t die alone or a lie but Kevin lost the only constant element in his life: a partner.

Finally reading here foxhole court and boy. Is this series ruining me I've devoured the first book in one day

Genuinely came to it from TikTok recs and couldn't remember what was said about the book because the names were meaningless. And so much of Neils life is focused on Kevin in the first book bc duh. I genuinely thought I was supposed to ship them, but at the end of foxhole court I was like... There's no chemistry?? Kevin is baby but not Neil's baby ya know???

And then in book two Neil looks at Andrew. And really sees him. And I said "oh"

Can't believe it took until Neil started to realize something was there before I did but hey TikTok sent me in with prejudices okokokok

[blue-arson]

Please give me more because I want to start another one

If you are obsessed with AFTG, y’all should listen to The Foxhole Cast! It’s a podcast that rereads and talks about All For The Game! I’ve been obsessed with it and NEED people to listen to it!

They have a tumblr too! @thefoxholecast

i was quite surprised to discover that the most popular parts are 1) first batch of Trojans tweets and *thunder roll* 2) PSU PETS !!! that is simply amazing. a round of applause for Joselito, Splenda, Renesmee and Dot <3<3<3<3 (honorable mention to Andrew's goat and Neil's toaster)

→ special lore/easter egg (adler thinks she is the MCU)

on Cat's profile is the Totally Spies! as her header, because: Laila = Sam (redhead) / Cat = Alex (black hair) / Jeremy = Clover (blonde) it's an inside joke/running gag between them, and for a very short while they call Jean "Mandy" to include him <3

very sad no one picked up on this :((( bad gays, all of you! Aaron knowing and using a Drag Race/Alyssa Edwards implies that AARON WATCHES RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE Y'ALL--think about the consequences guys!!! anyhoo. boo. also a very underrated joke imo.

But also... Andreil on the great British bake off (they have celebrity seasons)

Look, I'm gonna be honest.

It's a disaster in two parts.

Neil is there EXPLICITLY because Stuart found out that he had been asked to go do it because he is technically British. Stuart has asked him to be the bane of Paul Hollywood's existence and is willing to do quite a bit to make the man's life hell.

"He knows what he did." is all Stuart will say on the matter.

Neil agrees to come be a Baker on the stipulation that Andrew also gets to come. Andrew has no interest in baking other than what it can produce for him to eat, he has no desire to do the laborious task of baking himself.

Stuart offers him an Aston.

Andrew agrees.

Neil is a nightmare in the tent. He hates desserts. He hates measuring. He has never done a single prep bake. He has no idea what the desserts are during the technical challenge. He just goes with his gut (his iron gut). He produces three straight desserts that Paul will not let Prue eat for fear that she will just straight up die if she eats it. He is a pile of misery upon consuming all three.

When Neil is kicked off in round one no one is surprised. Paul pats Neil on the back as he leaves the tent and Neil just leans in, "Stuart Hatford sends his regards." he says now that the mic has been removed. Paul Hollywood's tan fades but Neil doesn't look back.

Andrew is a nightmare for a completely different reason and that reason is that he very visibly and honestly does not give a single flying fuck about what he's doing but he's doing quite well. He is the most boring man on camera, zero quips, won't interact with Noel and whoever the fuck is the other presenter by this point, just him doing exactly what the recipe requires and then he always makes a point of grabbing whatever Paul and Prue have judged and taking it all back to his station so that he can eat it. He stares straight into the camera as he eats an entire three tier cake. He dedicates every week he is Star Baker to his inspiration: Kevin Day.

Andrew makes it all the way to the Finals with impressive bakes that he basically just decided on 100% by how much he thinks it would upset Kevin to watch him eat it knowing that he SHOULD be doing weight training for the olympics. ("Weight TRAINING not Weight GAINING Andrew! Do you have to hold up two fingers as you eat the entire thing? Can you at least PRETEND it's not to SPITE me?" Kevin wails as Andrew calls him for the post-credit scene where the star bakers call their families usually but Andrew just uses it so everyone can hear Kevin Day lose his mind on Public Access.)

Andrew gets to the finals and his show stopper....it's immaculate. It's gorgeous. It's a work of art. Paul Hollywood is looking at this feat of modern baking engineering in wonder.

He shakes Andrew's hand before he even tastes it and-

"Stuart Hatford sends his regards."

Paul Hollywood is now nervous to eat this cake. Does he look out at the gathered friends and family of the contestants and see Stuart Hatford? Does he remember what he did?

He eats the cake because show obligations and it tastes as good as it looks but he is oddly silent as Prue talks about it.

Andrew Wins and Paul Hollywood stays exactly one entire party's width away from Neil, Stuart, and Andrew during the entire victory picnic.

Andrew gives his post bake-off speech and flat out says it was kind of boring and he wants to go home to America. The next scene is him driving off with Neil in an Aston Martin.

Edit: Thanks @the-inner-musings-of-a-worm for the idea once again!

[tara-the-star]

i personally think everyone who is shipped with kevin should be put in a little box and fight to the death

[andrew-minyard-stan]

ok you may hate this question but i have to ask it

who is your favorite fan cast for Andrew and Kevin. I can imagine how Neil looks like but when it comes to Kevin and Andrew i literally can't imagine their faces idk why lol their faces look blurry in my head

it’s okay, thank you for asking it lol. I don’t want an Aftg show bc I think it will be terrible, but fancasting for Andrew (Aaron too) and Kevin, are pretty accurate I think. Andrew and Aaron we have Freddie Fox and I think lots of people do but you should look him up. And Kevin, this model named Dani Garcia. He looks pretty much like Kevin and I think it’s a good choice. THANKS FOR ASKING

[thefoxholecast]

Hey Nate and Oona, I listened to the first two episodes and loved them, I don’t know if you’ve covered this yet:

I would love to hear your thoughts on Wymack’s and Kayleigh’s age difference. With the second side story on the Rainbow Crate special editions we learn that Wymack was willing to marry her and disappointed that Kevin wasn’t his. We know that Kevin is 20 in 2006, and that Exy is 30 years old, also that Kayleigh and Tetsuji created it as a college project back in Japan when they were around 19. We also know that Wymack is at the most 42. So he would’ve been around 22-23 when Kevin was born.

We also know that Wymack and Kayleigh met when she ALREADY was teaching it. Exy is around 10 years older than Kevin, which means that Kayleigh was almost 30 when she had him. So that age difference, and Kayleigh refusing to tell Wymack that Kev was his makes me wonder what are your thoughts on her actions? To me, she was way to grown to be acting that messy.

First of all, thank you for listening to the pod and for sending in this ask!

Second of all, we have NOT yet talked about Wymack and Kayleigh's age difference! We didn't even realize there was one! We had just assumed they were around the same age.

Unfortunately, after I (Oona) sent a screenshot of this ask to Nate, we did not have what you'd call an "intelligent" "discussion" about the Wymackayleigh (Daviday?) age gap lmao

[capcavan]

I think Jean’s injuries should be career ending, in a way setting him free

[redraspberryleaf]

Was trying to find examples of 5 foot tall male athletes to understand the proportions of and visualize the minyards and I couldn't so instead I tried to find actors and struggled but finally found solid examples.

Anyway, I propose in a film adaptation of AFTG the twins be played by Elliot Page and Danny Devito.

To make sure they read as identical twins, they just keep trading roles and use the arm bands to differentiate.

[adnrewminyard]

fancasting myself as allison bc just like her i’m sexy and in love with renee walker
