Hello, and welcome to episode one seventy five of Because Fuck You That's
0:43
Why. B F y t W does one hundred and seventy five episodes,
0:49
and you know, because it's such a special number, we're gonna go out
0:53
of our way to do a completely unspecial episode, just gonna do at the
1:00
last episode, perhaps like one second about nothing's listen. That is how we
1:04
roll. Like we reached these milestones and we just go, eh and you
1:08
know, trip over them. Basically. Yeah, actually, just forget.
1:11
We have totally didn't forget that coming out Regular Show. It was coming up
1:18
and we're like, screw it, Regular Show. Yeah. Uh So with
1:22
that in mind, let's meet our usual players and heroes of nonsense. We'll
1:30
start with he's a gamer and a storyteller and he used to be my youngest
1:34
friend. It's Augie. He's a game when he so I forgot, I
2:00
forgot again. We can't even play it? Wow, how I mean it's
2:14
accurate? At least you're so baked you can't remember to replace your own theme
2:16
song place. Yeah, write it down. So this question might be appropriate
2:28
to you, Um, did I forget this week? Uh? Is there
2:32
a recent occasion you can think of where you bounced back from failure? Well,
2:39
I was hoping it was going to happen this week, But I guess
2:42
not bounce back from failure. I guess what would you consider a failure?
2:52
I mean, I mean everybody's failures different. Yeah, I guess mostly feeled
2:57
a shame. I'm like kind of getting back into being more like an adult.
3:02
I guess I don't know if that would consider it a failure or success
3:08
or any of that such. But like, I've been getting like stuff for
3:13
myself. I've got a job, I got a kind of vehicle. I
3:17
got a really kick ass electric bike that goes like three miles an hour.
3:23
Is awesome, so I can get to work in like ten minutes on my
3:27
own, so I no longer have to rely on others to accomplish what I
3:30
need to do. So well, that's very good. I mean I will
3:39
accept that. That's a reasonable answer to the question for once from Augie.
3:44
Wow, are you feeling all right? It's I guess this is not your
3:52
normal non answer. Maybe I'm not hitting the very part enough today. I
3:55
definitely am saying I forgot that I was shorten the ha, so I guess
4:00
you take the bad. Yeah, no, that's fair. It just opens
4:04
up more failures, little column, you fucked up again. Apologies to Mexican
4:11
who sent us a short version. I will get it on there weeks ago.
4:15
I swear it'll be the very first thing. At this point, it's
4:20
almost funny if you just don't, if he just leave, that's always breaking
4:26
a little long version. You always go, oh, I forgot again,
4:30
But no, I will make sure it's all right. And speaking of failure,
4:40
yeah, we're going to introduce me now. No, he's a podcaster
4:47
and a veteran, and he's a veteran podcaster. It's Stevie. It's stuck.
4:58
I love that shit. It just I started to make that joke and
5:00
instantly felt bad about it because really, there's not a lot of failure around
5:04
Stevie as far as I'm concerned. I mean, people like but yeah,
5:14
really, when he sets out to do something, he doesn't fail. So
5:17
uh, I'm doing it. That's that's what it comes down to. Fair,
5:23
that's fair. But I'm going to ask you the question, anyway,
5:26
is there like a recent time you can think of where you bounced back from
5:30
failure. That that's difficult. I do feel a lot throughout the day,
5:34
more than most notice. Um, I I don't have good balance anymore.
5:39
I don't know what's happened to my equilibrium. Um, but that's a word.
5:44
Yeah, I know. I'm the vocabulary is getting up in there too.
5:46
I'm I'm evolving as an English no. Um uh. Rest Ferry got
5:53
me one of these magnetic bracelet things that help with balance and stuff like that.
5:58
And so far I've I'm not saying that the a I don't walk into
6:01
stuff or almost fall over, but I have noticed that it's decreased a lot.
6:05
So my clumsiness and my all around clumsiness I think has decreased in the
6:11
last couple of weeks. Because what was it like a few months ago,
6:14
My hands were shaking, I was spilling stuff all over everything myself like it
6:17
was horrible but making a mess. Oh, it's it's it was every night,
6:25
everywhere. It's all. God, it was horrible. Steve step holding
6:28
the box, you know you're not your hands are shaking while you're picking up
6:30
another box. Why are you doing that? Or it's like here, hold
6:32
this chuckolate milk in this coke in here for a minute and then I just
6:35
shake it up for him. Um. But it's been nice, Like I
6:40
think the less stress that's been of late, being able to get outside actually
6:44
do stuff outside, and I've been exercising regularly, and I think all that's
6:48
actually been helping a lot, and then especially my mood, and it's been
6:51
nice. I just don't feel like I'm such a burden anymore. Oh a
6:58
brother, thank you. Um, but yeah, no, I completely get
7:02
it. Um. And uh, finally I am your host, panceless Aaron.
7:08
And here comes my theme tune for a later two. So, uh,
7:28
there's a very good reason why I picked this question. Uh. So
7:31
for those who are not in the know, Um, So, I have
7:38
been trying to get my book published for a while, it feels like almost
7:43
a year at this point. Um. And I actually did manage to get
7:46
a publishing company to enter into a contract with me to published said book.
7:51
And I've been really excited. And I've been working with this company for months,
7:55
you know, on editing and type setting and all that stuff hopefully to
8:01
get it to uh you know, stories and in people's hands this summer.
8:05
Well, on on Monday this week, I got a really upsetting email informing
8:16
me and every other author working with this publishing company that they were bankrupt and
8:20
that they were going to be closing their doors, which meant basically everything was
8:28
out the window. Uh and uh, and I have have been somewhat a
8:35
drift, I guess, I would say, Um, I have. I've
8:39
sent back a couple of emails looking for some kind of response. They said
8:45
at some point it was possible the company was going to get bought up by
8:48
another company and all of their books would come under the new company's umbrella or
8:54
whatever that meant. Um, But I haven't heard from them, and I
9:00
haven't heard from my original publishers at all this week, as I've just been
9:05
trying to reach out and find out what the hell's going on, and I'm
9:09
trying to figure out whether I need to enter legal proceedings to get some kind
9:13
of response. Um. They did initially say that if we wanted, we
9:18
could have our our contracts avoided, and as of Friday, as of not
9:22
getting at a response all week long, I sent them an email saying,
9:26
yes, please avoid my contract, but I haven't heard back from that either.
9:31
So in any event, the contract does have an out, whereas if
9:39
I'm not happy with their you know, with their proceedings, I just have
9:43
to notify them and then they have a two month time period to get things
9:46
right, and if they don't, the contract is null and void. So
9:50
I can null the contract myself. I'm just gonna have to wait another two
9:54
months to do it, which blows. So unless they agree to release me
10:01
from the contract, in which case it's immediate. But I'm still waiting to
10:05
hear back. So UM, I have chosen not to look at this as
10:11
a you know, like a defeat. Um. If anything, it's a
10:16
setback, but it's not going to stop me from publishing. Um, I've
10:20
decided that I'm probably going to self publish at this point. My trust of
10:26
traditional publishing companies has eroded somewhat. Yeah, so I am looking into self
10:35
publishing and publishing as wide as I possibly can. So I I I am
10:41
not going to be entering into like any like. UM, I don't know
10:46
what you would call like exclusive deals with Amazon or whatnot. Like I know
10:50
a lot of authors do, especially first time ones, but I don't like
10:56
Amazon. So no, I'm not doing why would you track your self?
11:00
Yeah, No, I'm not. I'm not trapping myself. I'm not linking
11:03
myself to a single company. Again, let's just put it that way.
11:05
I refuse to be under one company's auspices. So as a self publisher,
11:11
I will keep all the rights to everything. UM. I already have a
11:16
signed contract with the cover artists, so that's covered. So I basically just
11:20
need to UM. I need to like um do the editing and type setting
11:26
myself, and then I'm going to put it out at some point. Now,
11:31
whether I get to put it out in a couple of weeks or a
11:33
couple of months depends on whether the old company gets back to me and avoids
11:37
my contract. But long story short, I am. I am bouncing back
11:43
myself. Good. That's awesome, dude. No, I'm glad. I'm
11:48
glad to hear that because, like, no joking, you said the failure
11:50
thing. At first, I was and say, well, you know that
11:52
website I'm working on for you, I had the scrip and start over again.
11:56
Yeah, No, that's fair. Yeah, message message ship about it.
12:01
I'm like, well, you know, the good news is you might
12:03
have more time than you expected to get that up, and that'll be nice
12:07
in any event. So anyway, moving on and having a little bit more
12:13
fun, We're going to do our regular show. We're gonna play three games
12:15
worth varying amount of points, and whichever player of the two of these bright
12:20
shining faces in front of me successfully manages to get the most points at the
12:26
end of the show wins. Our first game is going to be an old
12:28
favorite. It's going to be like share block. I've got three news stories
12:31
here of varying degrees of weirdness and goodness or badness however you want to put
12:37
it. And I have a signed a combination of like share end block to
12:43
each one of these stories in terms of which I would like share or block
12:46
on social media, and there is only one correct combination, and JEB player
12:50
gets that combination or gets closest to it, will win the game and earn
12:56
a one point. So our first story. These are all fun stories,
13:01
by the way, the first one, the first one is something special.
13:03
Serial New York City litterer caught after four years, turns out to be an
13:09
NYPD cop, faces little punishment, big surprise. Wow, So this is
13:20
shucker. This has happened nearly every Sunday morning for four years. What the
13:28
fuck? Residence of a quiet block in green Point, Brooklyn woke up to
13:33
reams of paper just dumped on their street. And this serial litterer wasn't just
13:41
like tearing pages out. They were precisely cutting and slicing pages from readers,
13:48
digests from bibles, junk mail, and cornmags from the nineteen seventies before just
13:54
completely dumping them on this little neighborhood block in Greenpoint. Uh and always did
14:03
it before sunrise. Um. And people have been trying to catch this guy
14:09
for years, literal years, uh and has dumped hundreds, maybe thousands of
14:16
pages across the street in that time. He's prepousually doing that like go to
14:26
dickhead. He was finally caught when one of the neighbors in the area put
14:31
up a surveillance camera and successfully caught the make and model of the car that
14:37
was doing the dumping. Um. And then a steakout was arranged between some
14:46
neighbors had put together a fund to hire a private detective who waited until the
14:52
car came along and successfully got the license plate and it was tracked to New
14:56
York Police Department Sergeant John trisan Keith, who had grown up on that block
15:03
in a family home that was sold in twenty sixteen. Um, So the
15:09
slap on the wrist that he got, which is basically he's been like moved
15:13
to a different department. Now he's doing like car impounds or something to that
15:16
effect. That's literally the only thing that happened. Like, okay, but
15:20
if any civilian did that, they would have gotten find out the ass right.
15:24
Oh yeah, he was not fined at all. And they they they
15:30
found they found loopholes to make sure that he wouldn't get fined or anything.
15:35
Um, despite the sheer volume of papers he you know, threw out down
15:41
the street for years. Um, you need to be caught by an actual
15:48
an actual member of the sanitation department in order to be issued to find and
15:54
he wasn't caught by a member of the sanitation department. Um also to get
15:58
to get uh like I don't know if it's right. There was, but
16:06
apparently it doesn't count because dont the investigation wasn't done by the sanitation Hey this
16:14
guy do this? Yeah okay, yeah, justously donated I know that.
16:19
Yeah. So, Um, it also didn't qualify as illegal dumping, which
16:26
carries a fine from four to eighteen thousand dollars because the offense requires one cubic
16:32
yard or two hundred and two liquid calends of illegally discarded refuse. And he
16:38
only discarded like a several pages at a time as he drove down the street.
16:45
Oh my god. Yeah, yeah, like this motherfucker do what he
16:48
was doing? Right or they there is his it's his union probably never mind.
16:53
Well, um, the the uh, the attorneys for the police and
17:00
the sergeant's benevolent Association haven't commented on the case. Um, but the the
17:07
feeling of the the residents who live there think that he was like trying to
17:11
work through something like this. This was some sort of mental issue he was
17:17
having because he used to live there. Um but uh. And and the
17:22
ones who did know him are confused because he would describe himself. He they
17:29
described him as being an environmentalist, like he was the kind of guy who
17:34
would pick up trash off the street instead of leaving it there there. Yeah
17:41
yeah right. The weirdest thing for me is the fact that each page had
17:45
to be individually sliced like like d precise. Yeah, it's very odd.
17:53
And then that also to me says this is some kind of mental issue because
17:59
he's going to such extremes to be going back to the same place every time,
18:03
consistently doing the same exactly. He shouldn't carry you good. Yeah,
18:07
I think he should see a doctor at the very least. Yeah, because
18:15
there is something going on there in any event. That's story number one.
18:21
Let's move on to story number two. And like I said, these are
18:23
all fun. Doctors. Doctors reattached twelve year old boys severed head. That's
18:30
good, It is good. So a twelve year old alive, right?
18:37
Yeah, Suleiman who was hit by a car while riding his bicycle. Uh,
18:41
he went under an extremely rare operation after the ligaments attaching the base of
18:48
his skull severed from the spines top vertebrae. Like it was, it was
18:56
entirely internally decapitated. His brain and his spine were no longer able to communicate.
19:04
Wow. So the injury is extremely rare in adults and even more rare
19:12
in children. And the surgery took place in Israel, I believe the the
19:21
the places called Hatasa Medical Center. They spent several hours reattaching these ligaments and
19:30
other parts of his his head to his spine to make sure everything worked all
19:38
right, and Apparently everything worked even though it was a long procedure. Um,
19:45
the doctors had actually practiced this surgery in like medical school. Oh shit,
19:53
So they just happened to have the knowledge required and they they stepped up
19:57
and they did it. Um. Wow, that's cool. It's just kind
20:03
of it's just kind of brilliant that the right people were there at the right
20:07
time because this is not an easy or common surgery at all, But they
20:12
just happened to have two of them who had practiced it before, so it
20:18
all worked out. They saved the boy's life. He appears to have no
20:21
neurological deficits, deficits or sensory or a motor dysfunction of any kind after the
20:27
surgery. It's easing. He is functioning completely normally and walking without any aids
20:33
after this long surgery. Is kind of a miracle. Damn. Yeah it
20:37
is. Wow. Like, good on him, good on science, Good
20:41
on you doctors. I'm liking this story. So this one's winning. Yeah,
20:48
winning. It's not all this works. Let's go on to the story
20:52
number three. We're pretty high on my list. Yeah, story number three.
20:56
Like I said, these are all fun, but this one is no
21:00
exception. Uh, Texas man found alive after going missing for eight years,
21:06
except he was never missing. So you may have seen this story in the
21:11
news. I know I did um a gentleman by the name of Rudolph,
21:18
Rudy farious words. Sorry, uh sorry, sorry, excuse me. I
21:25
didn't mean to laugh at the name, but it just sounded funny to me.
21:29
Okay, something funny about Rudolph. That was school Rudolph the red nosed
21:37
reindeer. Huh, who do that? You shouldn't make fun of somebody because
21:45
their name they likely didn't get to choose it. So this gentleman was out
21:52
walking the family dogs, and the dogs came back, but he didn't um,
21:57
and he was reported missing. In twenty fifteen, when he was seventeen
22:03
years old. His mother reported him missing. He said that he never returned
22:06
back from a walk with the dogs, and cops and fire department and the
22:11
Texas Center for the Missing, We're all on the case, looking everywhere,
22:15
could not find him for the past eight years, and he was found oddly
22:21
enough, passed out outside of a church nearby I think it was in the
22:26
same city eight years later. He had an item on him with a family
22:33
member's identification and the police contacted the mother and informed her that her son had
22:41
been found. Now this is where it gets weird. Several neighbors in the
22:48
area of this family home, the Faurious family home, say Rudy has been
22:53
there the entire time, and that none of them knew that he was supposed
23:00
missing. They would see him, he would actually go out and hang out
23:03
with some of them, and nobody in the neighborhood had any idea that this
23:10
guy was supposedly gone. Like the mother never went to like his friends and
23:15
like, hey, have you seen him? Now they'll figure that is genuinely
23:22
what I think happened, just because the coups will figure it out, and
23:25
just stayed at home. He went missing, like but maybe only for three
23:29
days or so, and then he came back or something like that. And
23:34
the mother just didn't tell anybody. Oh, just never reported it. Just
23:38
never reported it that he had been found. It's the only thing that I
23:41
can think of. But I don't know if it makes sense. I don't.
23:45
I genuinely don't know. He's been hiding out people's porches, neighbor's porches
23:51
and shit, like him and his had a fight like the night before about
23:55
loud music or some bullshit or not get his homework done, and he just
23:57
said fuck you and left. So you're telling me, for like the last
24:00
eight years, like people are like looking at him, like looking at like
24:04
a milk curtain, looking at is that is that the guy that was missing?
24:10
Like for the last eight years, no one said anything. Yeah.
24:15
Um, there's a few more twists to this tale. Um. The mother
24:21
of the family who initially reported and missing uh didn't go on camera, but
24:26
claimed that the person her neighbors were talking about was not Rudy but was her
24:32
nephew instead. Um So, I don't know how legitimate that could be.
24:37
It's possible that they were mistaken. Just someone who looked a lot like him
24:41
was around. That's possible, I guess. But yeah, And she shared
24:48
a picture of this individual, the nephew, but neighbors took a look at
24:52
it and said that's not the person they saw. Oh shit, they they
24:56
saw Rudy, the actual guy. Um so, I think they had a
25:02
fight. It's all very weird. Um. His mother told officials when he
25:07
first went missing that he suffered from depression and PTSD since his brother died in
25:11
a motorcycle accident. In twenty eleven. Um and neighbors back up that story.
25:18
They say he talked about that a lot. But it's still not sure
25:23
what exactly happened here. But unfortunately, that's all the details I have at
25:30
the moment. This is difficult, it's weird. I wonder. I have
25:36
to wonder if she got anything out of this, or either of them got
25:38
anything. She put a life insurance policy on her seventeen year old well,
25:44
because well, you never know, up people will be like whatever. That's
25:48
why she never asked any of the friends. I don't know. I could
25:52
not tell you in any event. That's all three stories. That's just I
25:56
don't just briefly remind you. Story number one, serial New City literer turns
26:00
out to be New York PD cop faces little punishment. Story number two doctors
26:06
reattached twelve year old boys, severed head after several hours. Uh. And
26:11
story number three Texas man found alive after going missing for eight years, except
26:15
he was never missing. Um. So let's see, I cannot remember for
26:21
the life of me, who between two of you one the game. I
26:23
don't think winning and either of us come to mind in the same sentence anymore.
26:27
No, no, no, no, I mean it helps when we
26:30
do a bunch of these in a row. Used to, but so far
26:33
we've been having a lot of guests and doing a lot of special shows.
26:36
Been a while, yea, Um, it's been awesome. It has been,
26:38
and we need to do more. But in any event, so I'm
26:41
just gonna I'm gonna flip a coin here, or I'm gonna, hey,
26:47
Google flip cooin for me. Aggie pick heads your tails? Will you tails?
26:55
It is heads? So Stevie, Yeah, you get to choose first,
27:00
damn it. This is I was hoping to all you would go first.
27:03
All right, so exactly, I really am torn. I have no
27:07
idea which way you went on this because it's so wishy washing on a bunch
27:11
of them. It's like, dude, I don't know if you want to
27:14
share that, but you'd want to share this, but you don't. I
27:15
don't know. It's difficult. Um I'm gonna go with we were going to
27:19
like that the kids had popped off, but they put it back on.
27:23
Um Ah, let's share the cop literer story because we need to fucking get
27:33
real justice and hold those fuckers accountable for shit, and we will block the
27:37
missing person's story because it's just a conspiracy theory. Aaron, it's not real.
27:44
Don't worry about it. I don't think, I don't think about it's
27:48
block happened, okay, so um Stevie says, share story number one like
27:53
story number two, and block story number three. Aggie, you may keep
27:59
one of his, but you swap the other two, or you can go
28:00
entirely your own way. Yeah. I think we both had the same for
28:03
the severed head boy. Yeah, both like it just because it was a
28:07
successful operation and there was a good ending to it. Um, I said,
28:14
block the Cereal trash cop because fuck that guy, yea um, and
28:19
then share the crypto Texas man who went missing for eight years supposedly kind of
28:26
like like is it Goldstein Bears or the eight was really a three? Just
28:37
jelly fell on the print before it printed out. No one knows. With
28:48
both of your answers in, I can tell you you got it exactly right
28:52
now, dude. Definitely my second one. I wasn't sure I blocked the
28:56
cop litterer um because it's it's just the thin blue line backing up their boy
29:03
again and I'm so sick and tired of it. Yeah, nobody ever gets
29:07
punished when they're a cop for doing anything wrong, ever, for anything.
29:11
Um I mean, after after several, many, many, many cops have
29:17
completely blatantly gotten away with murder and stealing from people or even raping, Like
29:22
them getting away with this seems just you know, whatever business is usual.
29:26
Um So, but I don't want to hear about it, so I block
29:29
it. I of course like the doctors reattaching, tol your boice evered head,
29:33
because that's awesome, but it it just doesn't feel like the kind of
29:37
thing that I would, you know, go and share and like, hey,
29:41
look at this good news. And I think maybe that's part of the
29:42
problem with me, is that I don't, like, immediately want to share
29:47
good news, and instead I would rather share the bizarre thing that makes my
29:52
head spend about the guy who went missing, except he didn't go missing because
29:57
what the fuck I say they saw the mother says he was never there.
30:03
Oh my god, I just enjoy sharing what the fuckory? So you know
30:08
that does my head in, So I'm going to share that. So Aggie
30:11
gets it right. He has won the first game and has one episode points
30:15
nice, Okay, when we come back Stevie's gonna have a chance to strike
30:22
back when we play Game two, which is going to be worth two points,
30:25
and it's coming up right after this. Hi. I'm Tina how Tomo
30:37
and I'm Hillary Dougherty and we host The Muck Podcast, where we discussed the
30:41
dark and sometimes weird true stories in American politics. E. Tina, did
30:45
you know that Elvis crashed the Nixon White House for the sole purpose of getting
30:48
a DA badge and it worked? Or how a gun control advocate senator out
30:56
of California engaged in gun trafficking with Detoria's gang leader shrimp Boy. That boy
31:00
I remember him? Okay, So you know. We cover all of that
31:03
and more from Maladi's madness, mischief and murder in US politics, and we
31:08
also host a bi weekly interview segment called Little Muck. We interview politicians,
31:14
journalists, activists, and others who share their experiences in politics. Find The
31:18
Muck Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts, and check us out on social media
31:22
at the Muck Podcast. Amen, welcome Mac. It's time for Game Too.
31:37
But before we get into Game Too, I hear wonder of wonders.
31:42
Do we have a voicemail? Oh? Yes we do. I'm sure we
31:47
yelled about it enough so it was a voicemail. Yeah, I complained in
31:52
bitch loud enough, so I'm genuinely excited to hear what we got back.
31:56
Oh yeah, this is gonna be interesting. Okay, so let's hear it.
32:04
Yeah, Hi, guys, Kristen here calling in because a Cordy Talk
32:10
I saw you weren't feeling enough love for your listeners and needed some calls as
32:15
such. I just wanted to call him and let you guys know that the
32:17
fy tw is one of the highlights of my week and I enjoy seeing what
32:22
Yeah come up with. I absolutely loved the whole position game, and I
32:25
really hope we get more of that soon. Anyhow, I just wanted to
32:30
send you all my love and I hope you have a great week. Yeah,
32:34
that's awesome, so thank you. We definitely position. I know Rus
32:39
said he would never come back out again because it's a stress, but well,
32:45
here's the thing, right, Like I knew that that Lauren was a
32:49
big Game Show fan, I did not take into account that Russ might not
32:53
enjoy the same thing. She took was so perfect though. It was awesome,
32:59
but down to do an, although next time we have Russ on it
33:05
will definitely be something more chill, more laid back and not not even stressful
33:08
like a normal show. Yeah, so sorry, russ Um, but it
33:16
was a good time and I really did enjoy it, and I thought it
33:19
was it was it was a lot of fun, and I was I was
33:22
upset that nobody won, Like, come on, man, you know,
33:25
I really thought like, we genuinely have to play again so that we get
33:30
someone to win. But maybe maybe we ask other people, or maybe we
33:34
ask Lauren and John from the Weird Out podcast. Maybe he'd enjoy it a
33:38
little bit more than Russ. I don't know. I want to get tons
33:43
of people on. I'm in, yeah, yeah we can. We can
33:45
have anybody play it. This is anybody's sort of games. So anyway,
33:49
thank you so much. Kristen has really appreciated. Thank you for giving us
33:52
called you didn't have to. We're just kind of guilty. I know,
33:58
we begged and we bitch, we fished about it for like the whole episode
34:02
and then they're like, no, you didn't have to do that. Thank
34:07
you for doing It's so appreciated. Oh my god, I didn't have to
34:13
do that. Yeah, that was so above and beyond. Wow. Wow,
34:19
I should have gotten so pochastic. She should have like you guys calling
34:25
you again assholes. Yeah, we gotta tell us all right, Um,
34:34
but I hear that's not all. We also got some comments, d Yeah,
34:37

34:43

34:49
rejoicing. Yeah, and then we David McGinn also commented on there you ever
34:54
feel like you're two dongle short of a dingle dork all the time, David,
35:01
Which is awesome. And if you guys didn't know, against my better
35:07
judgment, bfy tw now has a Facebook. Yeah, this is true.
35:14
You can find by on Facebook at by tw pod not all one word,
35:19
it's b fy tw space pod. Correct. Um. Yeah, we've been
35:23
I just created long acause I know apparently people use it. Um. I
35:28
was unsure where Twitter was going and I just don't like use it personally,
35:30
but yet for the show would be cool and we are gone there if you're
35:35
interested. Yeah. Yeah, So Twitter has gone so far downhill that Facebook
35:38
is actually looking like the lesser of two evils lovely enough, which is scary.
35:43
Yeah anyway, but we're on there. If anybody would like to follow
35:45
us on there. We got that just started up. We could use the
35:49
little boosted followers on there if we continue to do this. Uh yeah yeah.
35:52
But we hooked up with Luck for Energy House, went in there,
35:55
spoke with them again. They gave us a cool little screenshot of one of
36:00
their drinks, their Rainbow drink, along with their logo in the back,
36:04
and then they grabbed a bunch of our stickers in our cards to pass out.
36:07
So I just wanted to give them a shout out and say thank you.
36:09
Hell yeah, hell yeah. Oh is there more business? There is
36:13
one more um kyla message us on Facebook as well, oh said vfy tw
36:20
pod. If you need a guest, I know a goofy person named me,
36:24
So heck yeah, I can't wait to meet this. I know,
36:28
like so exciting. I want to thank everybody who came and left the messages,
36:34
either on our Facebook or on our Patreon. It is so awesome that
36:37
you are supporting us in this way, even if all it does is,
36:42
like you know, rank us off a little bit higher in the algorithm that
36:45
runs our Internet lives it helps right in any event, it's time for game
36:52
two. Pitch me baby one more time. I'm going to give our players
36:55
an assignment of some kind, usually involving a massive media property of some kind,
37:02
and give it a little twist, and whichever player gives me the best
37:07
pitch based on that assignment will win the game and earn two points. So
37:13
July fifteenth was the twentieth anniversary of one of my favorite RPGs ever, Star
37:19
Wars Knights the Old Republic. That game took one of the most beloved franchises
37:23
of all time, primarily known for being about high speed action and adventure,
37:30
and turned it into a slower, turn based role playing game. But incredibly,
37:37
the mashup worked like Gangbusters, and the series has seen a sequel and
37:42
an MMO RPG that is still around and playable today. What I want you
37:46
two to do is to catch that lightning in a bottle one more time by
37:51
pitching me another massively popular franchise made into a video game where the genre of
37:59
that game plays against what the franchise is known for, a genre you wouldn't
38:06
expect from that franchise. And then I want you to tell me why that
38:09
game will be amazing. The best pitch wins. And Stevie, you lost
38:15
the last game, so you have the choice which of the two of you
38:19
would you like to go first. Since I did lose the last game and
38:22
I need to redeem myself hard, I'm actually gonna go first, hopefully blowing
38:25
your mind in a good way so that Augis doesn't even stand a chance.
38:30
Listen, you can blow me anyway you want. Thank you God, I've
38:32
been waiting to hear you say that. You're welcome. All right, Jess,
38:37
gentlemen, I permit, I permit. Wow, let's start that over
38:42
English Is. Family took a little I haven't gotten the title, gentlemen,
38:50
I present to you Gee Man Smurf Game. Okay, man, yeah,
38:59
no, I mean Man Surf game. Yeah. There's a reason smurf surf
39:04
Smurf not surf. So we're bringing the Smurf franchise back. I mean they
39:10
started doing the Fraggles, they rebooted that. I say, we get on
39:14
this now. Let's do Smurfs and get this go on. Well, let's
39:16
get this going for the now crowd. All right, So, g Man
39:21
Smurf Game, you get to choose your Smurf or customize your own with a
39:24
variety of clothing options along with unlockable accessories you know, etc. Clothes hair.
39:30
After selecting your Smurf, you are introduced to an overview of Smurf Village,
39:35
which is being attacked by Gargamel and his cat Asriel. Most of the
39:38
village is consumed by fire and they are panic Smurfs running all their running for
39:44
their smurfing lives. Sadly, Gargamel was was able to capture the majority of
39:49
the Smurfs, including Clumsy Smurf of course, Krauchy Smurf, and Brainy Smurf.
39:54
Chef Smurf was the first to go as Azrael devoured him a la carte,
39:59
and in the chaos, Papa Smurf was able to escape. Unfortunately,
40:04
g Man Gargamel had a spell ready that could transport him and his possessions to
40:07
another layer. After Gargamel attempted to cook and prepare the Smurfs for his main
40:13
recipes, he realized that they taste completely disgusting. Since he wasted his entire
40:19
smurfing life trying to capture them, he couldn't break it to himself to let
40:22
them go. He had to make catching them worth the decades he lost chasing
40:27
them all, he created the g Man Smurf Game. You and ninety nine
40:31
others smurfs are located in a holding area, all with basic white tops and
40:37
bottoms. The only difference is an alpha numeric symbol on their chest. You
40:40
go around and have dialogue with other scared Smurfs, or you can go right
40:45
into the first area, which is a doorway labeled Smurf Game. Once through
40:49
the doorway, there's a randomizer board kind of kin to like Mario Party,
40:54
in which the participants will play in Some can be hidden or unlocked later just
41:00
by playing the games. But you play the first game against the first ninety
41:02
nine other smurfs, allowing only for seventy five Smurfs to make it to the
41:07
next round. Each gameplay is made up of at least five rounds, decreasing
41:10
the amounts of participants that can move on to the next game. The final
41:15
round will allow the top three to escape. G Man Smurf Game. Papa
41:19
Smurf Contact. Okay, here's where there's work. It can split off depending
41:22
on how the game goes. There's two different endings to this. Papa Smurf
41:24
contacts you throughout through the game with messages passed through the Secret Message Urgency Retrieval
41:31
Front also known as Smurf Run by a few Smurfs that got away during the
41:36
initial attack, or you come to find out that Papa Smurf actually sold out
41:40
the rest of the Smurfs two Gman Gargamel so that he could get away from
41:45
the village. He was always forced to take care of his entire life.
41:51
So I think it's going to hit the crowd now because of all the different
41:54
types of killing type game shows, games and stories going out, there's a
41:59
ton of them, and I think that this would hit with that. Plus
42:02
it brings the Smurfs into this Holy fuck, dude, Smurf game. This
42:06
is insane. You can see Smurfska getting fucking destimated and shit, I think
42:10
it's a home run and it wouldn't cost that much because it's handimated. I
42:21
uh so, what are you pitching me? Are you pitching me not a
42:23
video game? But like, no, no, it's a game. Okay,
42:27
it's a game. Yeah, it's a game. You're actually playing like
42:29
kind of like you're playing mini games. So every time you started up,
42:31
you get another set of mini games you can play. It's randomized, so
42:36
then you can unlock new games too as you play forward, like kind of
42:38
like the Mario Party games and stuff, Sumarrio Party game, Sumario Party.
42:44
But you're killing twenty five Smurfs at a time, so it's like it's like
42:47
squid game. Yeah, so it's It's also got choices you make in it,
42:52
so it can change the type of game, like the endings and stuff.
42:58
So it's like saw. Yeah, uh smurf Saw is indeed something in
43:06
a direction I would not expect to be taken. So I had the requirements
43:09
at least, right, that's what I want to know. Yeah, yeah,
43:12
no, no, you you passed the requirements. That's all I needed.
43:15
Cool. Uh, well I don't know about that. Let's see if
43:21
Aggie can give me a slightly better pitch here, Aggie, what do you
43:23
got? Well, unlike my friend here, I only have five words for
43:27
you. John Wick full motion video. Oh yeah, John Wick full motion
43:38
video? Cause you do you remember like dragons Layer? Of course I'm talking
43:45
like that, but John Wick, and and that's it. That's your whole
43:52
pitch. What more like, if you know what dragons Layer is, which
43:54
is basically just like oh I do. Yeah, like you're playing essentially a
43:59
video and yeah, yeah, there's you have to press the right direction the
44:04
right time. But yeah, although I guess in your game it would be
44:07
the gun button. Yeah exactly, be like a trigger or that, but
44:09
still like the and all that stuff like that same thing. Yeah, but
44:14
like okay, but in the style of John Wick. So yeah, like
44:16
just the really cool when they do like the non stop uncut scene. Well
44:22
it's cut but cut scene right and all that is so like the whole way
44:25
through, except you're playing it and then it collectibles just like in Dragon's Layer.
44:31
Yeah, so yeah, way you could beat the final Boss because that's
44:35
the only way I think you can beat the Final Boss and Dragons Layers.
44:37
You collect everything. You have to get everything, yeah, everything, Okaya,
44:44
go through Alison wander Lane and shit, just like so, um,
44:50
this is gonna it's actually gonna be really tough. Because Aggie gave me a
44:55
nine out of ten concept and then a one out of ten pitch. Yeah,
45:01
and then Stevie gave me a five out of ten concept and a five
45:05
out of ten pitch. I'll take that genuinely, like like I mean,
45:13
no, there's no butts about it. I can't stand Dragon dragons Layer is
45:19
a game. I think it's a terrible game. It's a terrible FMB game.
45:22
It's basically it's basically quick time event. The video game is what it
45:25
is, literally what it is. I hate and quick time events are like
45:30
one of the worst things that's ever happened to video games ever. So and
45:36
I wish they would all just burn into a fire and die, uh and
45:39
go away forever, but they keep coming back for some reason. Um in
45:45
any event, Now, when you when you said John Wick the FMB game,
45:49
I was like, oh, because I immediately envisioned like like an FPS,
45:57
an FPS that combined first person shooting and Candora directive style uh oh,
46:06
exploration and discovery, and you would just interact with other characters, or there
46:12
would be cut scenes with full motion video like the text Murphy Games worked out.
46:16
That would have been like an instant win. Like I would have been
46:20
all about that, especially if you interspersed the two, like there would be
46:24
a shooting level and then there'd be you know, interrogation or investigation find out
46:30
who set up the hit or what have you by going through somebody's office or
46:34
you know what the hell ever, um, and then back to another shooting
46:37
level. You know, I would be all about that. That would be
46:39
so would be so cool. Um. But I think in the end I
46:45
have to I have to give it to Stevie on this one because I think
46:51
it would be a more more more likely to I don't know if it's more
46:55
likely to sell, but it's a better game, I think in the end
47:00
than Dragon's Layers. So, uh, that's gonna be two points to Stevie.
47:05
Thank you, thank you for g Man Smurf game. Why do you
47:08
call him g Man because his name it just why not Gargamel's Smurf Game?
47:15
Mm hmm, yeah, it's not. It's not. It's not called s
47:20
game. It's called sweet. I was like, I wanted to put his
47:25
name in it without you know what it was his name until part way through.
47:29
It's not eight games. It's Hunger supposed to be a surprise thing.
47:34
That's why. All right, So is two points for Stevie, one point
47:38
for we will not have a tie. Somebody is going to win this game
47:43
when we come back at home right after this. Hey, this is Russ,

48:44
Oh I'm messing with Doggy again. Well, it's time to determine a
48:52
winner, and to do that, we're going to play game three. Game
48:55
three is the rules of the game? You guys, You guys know how
49:00
to play right. No, no, And that is the whole point.
49:06
They are about to just start playing a game. They have absolutely no idea
49:09
what the rules are. Um, there are two ways to win. You
49:12
can either have the most points at the end of the game, or if
49:15
you can successfully guess what the rules of the game are. At some point
49:21
along the way. You only get one guess, and I need to warn
49:24
you both right now. There are two important parts to the rules of the
49:30
game, and I need both parts for you to be correct. Okay,
49:34
that's fair, all right, thank you for that. So if you if
49:39
you're about to guess, but you really only have one idea, maybe hold
49:44
off. In any event, so we're just gonna keep playing until either they
49:50
get through all the possible options, or if one of them guess is correctly,
49:54
which will end the game right then and there and they will win and
49:57
earn three points. Otherwise we play. If neither of them get it,
50:00
we play until the end, and whoever has the most points at the end
50:02
will win the game. So, Aggie, you lost the last game,
50:08
so you have the choice you want to go first or second. I'll go
50:10
first this time. Okay, in that case, Aggie, go ahead?

1:13:44
think you might have this. Grave is correct and earns you nine points.
1:13:50
Stevie has forty points. Augie's twenty three. Uh, and I will give
1:13:57
you one last hint as we're at the final minute. Uh. The scoring
1:14:01
is due to a very popular game. Mm hmm. I know the rules
1:14:08
of the game age, I really don't. Uh fcs FCS is incorrect because
1:14:25
it has a repeating letter and it has an effinite as well. And Stevie,
1:14:30
you want to put a nail in the coffin, I don't have to
1:14:34
put points in. I can just say the name. Or should I put
1:14:36
points first? It's up to you. Well, I want to guess it
1:14:41
to see if I'm right. But yeah, I guess fuck it. Uh,
1:14:44
it's I T S I S H. That is going to be a
1:14:50
correct answer, and it is worth three points. I'd like to make I
1:14:54
guess the rules of the game, all right, Uh, see me,
1:14:58
go ahead, tell me what are the two parts of the rules of this
1:15:01
game? The two parts of this game? The rules are Yeah, that's
1:15:05
good. That's the part I was focusing on for so hard. Um,
1:15:10
the letters that are chosen are from the three of our names, and the
1:15:15
second rule is the points for the letters are from scrabble. That's exactly right.
1:15:21
Yes, that is exactly right. I took all the letters from our
1:15:27
first names uh, A, E, G, I, N, O,
1:15:30
R STUV and got a huge list of the scrabble words you could make
1:15:35
from those letters without duplicating any of them. Uh, and you get an
1:15:41
amount of points equal to how many they be worth in scrabble. Um.
1:15:45
Just for fun zies, the longest possible word you can make out of our
1:15:49
first names is out serving does. It's ten letter word and it's worth fourteen
1:15:55
points. And also for fun um, one of the words you can make
1:16:00
using our names is anus. Yes, yes, you mashed the three of
1:16:05
us together. What do you get a big age? Even if I got
1:16:11
the first part right, I've never fucking played scrabble, so I would never
1:16:15
got that. That was the only part that was screwing me up was the
1:16:18
point. I was trying to figure out how much each of the letters were
1:16:20
worked, And I'm like, I got the letters, Its parts easy.
1:16:24
What the fuck is the point value of these fuck are volumes vowels worth one
1:16:28
And then towards the end when you said that last, I was like,
1:16:30
motherfucker, I'm an eighty eight scrabble. Yeah, so we basically just played
1:16:35
scrabble with our own names. So yeah, I hope you enjoyed that.
1:16:41
I know it drove Aggie crazy, and I apologize it. Never played scrabble,
1:16:45
never gonna now, but it does mean that our winner getting three points
1:16:54
from this game and having two points in the previous at five points to one,
1:16:57
it's Stevie. Yes, back, baby up back limited time only come
1:17:01
here click wow. Uh yeah, it's it's it's a rare thing. I
1:17:08
feel that Stevie figures out the puzzle before Augie does. Yeah, very joy
1:17:14
that well. I think he even got that he was using the three of
1:17:23
our names before Augie did. Yeah. I think because you started giving me
1:17:27
a string of correct numbers. I'm like, oh, yeah, he's he's
1:17:30
on it now. Because I wasn't sure at first though, because I was
1:17:32
like, I don't know, let me throw this out there first. It's
1:17:35
I know Augie doesn't know. We're okay. Yeah, as soon as you
1:17:40
said grave I'm like, oh, yeah, he's got it. He's got
1:17:43
it. He's got it, because that's that's a high scoring words. I
1:17:49
was like, yeah, anyway, so yeah, that's gonna be it from
1:17:55
us. I hope you enjoyed listening and playing along. I hope you got
1:17:59
