25 APR 2024 · This week the BFYTW studio is graced with the pressence of two professional voice actors. Aaron hosts three games based around voice acting and his novel Thane between two teams. VO Artist David Autovino paired with Stevie, and Voice Actor Caroline Orejuela partnered with Augie. Game 1 - Ask the Author  In what I can only describe as a PROFOUND and unnecessary ego trip, I want our players to take turns asking me any question they want about Thane. I'll answer every question as honestly as I can, my favorite question after two or three go-arounds (depending on time) will earn their team one episode point. Game 2 - Voice Acting Challenge I have a few short passages of the worst dialogue you've ever seen, and I'm going to have our non-voice actors, Stevie and Augie, give their best vocal performance in a style of my choosing. Their partner will have to coach them to improve their performance, and they'll perform a second time. I'll give their second performance a score of 1-5 points, and the team with the most points after two readings each will win the challenge and earn two episode points. Game 3 - Thane, Zero Escape, or Something Else? Thane takes a lot of inspiration from the visual novel/escape room simulator game series Zero Escape, but can you tell the difference? I've got ten lines here, and all you have to do is tell me whether they come from Thane, Zero Escape, or something else entirely. To confuse matters further, I wanted to have Seth MacFarlane read all of the lines as Peter Griffin from Family Guy, but Mr. MacFarlane is very busy, and also we couldn't afford him. So instead I've asked Casey P. from Fiverr to do his best Peter Griffin impression as he reads the lines. The team who gets the most correct after all ten lines wins the game and gets three episode points. https://www.instagram.com/caroline_orjuela/ https://davidautovino.wixsite.com/actor https://www.fiverr.com/caseyp98 Promos @BeerdAlPodcast and @fromthemidpod Shoutouts to our Patrons; Mexi, Justin B, Kristin F ,Jeramey F ,Flaose, Todd, Jim, Flaos, Bridget F., David M., Dave A, Erin S, Donna/Colin Maggs,The GateLeapers, Kacey S., William M.

18 APR 2024 · On this week's episode of BFYTW, we are joined by fellow OddPods podcasters Lauren and Russ from Beer'd Al and The Infectious Groove shows. Game 1 - Get to the Kareoke Bar! When I think of 80's music, I think of icons, and one of the biggest icons of the eighties has to be its greatest action star, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Sadly, he's too busy to appear on the show, and we couldn't afford him anyway. So instead we're going to have a fake text-to-speech Arnold Schwarzenegger program (and I need to be absolutely clear here for legal reasons, this is 100% NOT ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, it's a fake) read out lyrics to ten songs. Guess the song, and earn a point, but get it wrong, and the other team will have a chance to steal the point. The team with the most points after all ten songs wins the game and earns one episode point. Game 2 - Pitch Me Baby One More Time I got to thinking the other day that a lot of great 80's music didn't get a great music video to go with it. Videos were only just becoming all the rage, but some songs got left out. And as I have lots of money, and very little common sense, I'd like to buy the rights to these songs and release new videos for them. I want each of you to pitch me a classic 80's song that does not have an iconic music video, and describe to me the music video that it deserves to have. Best pitch wins the game and earns two episode points for their team. Game 3 - The Rules of the Game (80's Music Edition) Our players are going to play a game that they don't know the rules to. As they play they'll earn points, but if any player can guess the rules of the game before the game ends, they'll earn a bonus ten points, and continue playing. At the end of the game, the team with the most points wins and earns three episode points.

11 APR 2024 · This week we are joined by Radio personallities Jon and Gina of The Fink Show. Patreon.com/TheFinkShow Game 1 - Being Aaroned I've got five pairs of things, all our players have to do is tell me which one of the two is real, and if they're correct, they'll get a point - BUT - at least once during the game, BOTH items will be real, this is called being Aaroned. If a team can successfully guess when they're being Aaroned, they will earn TWO points. The team with the most points after all five pairs will win the game and earn one episode point. Game 2 - Finish the Story  I've got five stories of real things that happened during radio shows, but I'm going to leave the story incomplete - each player will have to finish the story themselves, and the funniest answer gets a point, but you can also get a point by finishing the story correctly. The team with the most points after five stories wins and earns two episode points. Game 3 - Lightning Round With full and original credit to The Gateleapers, this round is a rapid-fire trivia test about wider pop-culture knowledge that is adjacent to morning radio - we'll be testing a new buzzer system, so please have your phones ready to play!

21 MAR 2024 · This week we are joined by Proper Rumpus Alumni CJ (DJ Xanthus) and Jabbo (TJ) to play some games around Streaming. Game 1: Being Aaroned I'm going to give both teams five sets of two items, and the teams will have to decide which of the two is true, and if they're correct, they'll get a point - HOWEVER - at least once during the game, BOTH items will be true, this is called being Aaroned - if a team correctly identifies that they've been Aaroned, they'll get TWO points. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins and gets one episode point. Game 2: Pitch Me Baby One More Time  It has become very clear to me that having a bizarre gimmick and working it well can be very lucrative in streaming, and as an investor, I'm looking for the next big thing. So I want each contestant on both teams to pitch me a batshit insane streaming gimmick that you think is going to get attention in an internet where everybody is fighting to get attention. Best pitch wins the game for their team and earns two episode points. Game 3: Streamer Pyramid Borrowing a game from the Gateleapers PC Gaming episode, I'm going to give each player seven video game titles - they then have two minutes to get their partner to guess as many video games from that list as they can by describing them, but there's a twist - the cluegiver must be pretending they are streaming the game and just talking to their audience the whole time. If the cluegiver says any part of the title (excluding a, an, the) or fails to convince me they are pretending to stream, that clue is disqualified, and you'll have to move onto the next. After all four players have done their list, the team with the most points wins the game and earns three episode points.  Promos @Grabthebrisket @fromthemidpod Shoutouts to our Patrons; Mexi, Justin B, Kristin F ,Jeramey F ,Flaose, Todd, Jim, Flaos, Bridget F., David M., Dave A, Erin S, Donna/Colin Maggs,The GateLeapers, Kacey S., William M.

7 MAR 2024 · Episode 207 - Game Shows with the Gateleapers As a huge fan of Gateleapers, I want to showcase what an episode of Gateleapers is like for our listeners, so we're going to play three games that are very similar to Gateleapers games, because what's more American than taking British ideas and making them worse? I hope the end result is much like a shorter, quicker episode of Gateleapers with the added benefit of giving Matt a taste of his own medicine. Game 1 - The Big Board This is a trivia game with a board of 12 questions segmented into tiers of difficulty, there are four $1,000-Tier questions, these are the easiest and worth 1 point each. There are four $32,000-Tier questions, these are medium difficulty and 2 points each. And finally, four Million-Dollar-Tier questions, these are hard difficulty and 3 points each. Teams will take turns choosing and answering questions until we've done all twelve. Game 2 - Play Your Cards Right This is a trivia/intuition game. The team in 2nd place will choose from one of two categories, and we'll start by asking them to bid on the first item. If they're within a certain range, they'll earn a point. Every item after that, they'll need to say whether the value is higher or lower than the previous item, and they'll earn a point for each correct guess, and a bonus point if they can get the value exactly right. The game ends after both teams have tackled a list of seven items. Game 3 - Quickfire Round This is a trivia game where the clues will come fast and furious, and players will have to buzz in by shouting their team name. (The internet lag for the Gateleapers should be offset by how stoned Stevie and Augie are) There's a point for each correct answer, and the team with the most points when the buzzer sounds is our winner.

For each correct guess, you'll earn a point, but if you successfully guess that you're being Aaroned, you'll earn two points. Most points at the end of the game wins and earns two episode points. Game 3 - Make it Worse I've got five things, and I'll tell our players to make these things worse, one increment at a time, and players must escalate the worsening and avoid repetition or iteration every time to stay in the game. First player to fail loses that item to their opponent, first player to three items wins and gets three points.

22 FEB 2024 · Video Version EPISODE 205 - Spicy and Crunchy Game 1 - Broken Headlines I'll give our players three headlines with the important words redacted, they'll fill in the blanks themselves, and can earn a point by getting close enough to the right headline OR by making me laugh. Unlike other episodes, these points are full episode points. Game 2 - Being Stevie'd Stevie will take over hosting and I'll take Stevie's place as contestant as he tries to fake us out. Are the items he's listing real? Or are you being Stevied? Again, points contribute to your total score. Game 3 - Make It Worse Aaron resumes hosting and will make our players take an object, person, or idea and make it worse. There are three rules. First, worsenings must escalate - your worsening must be worse than the worsening before yours. If I judge your worsening isn't worse than the one before you, you're eliminated. Second, no iterations - your worsening must be a different KIND of worsening than all those done to that point, for example, if Stevie makes Orgasms worse by saying instead of sperm, you ejaculate dust, if Augie then says instead of sperm, you ejaculate spikes, Augie is eliminated for iterating on Stevie's worsening. Third and finally, every successful worsening adds a point to the total value of the item being worsened - after two players have been eliminated, the surviving player gets all points accumulated for that item. After five items, whichever player has accrued the most points over the course of the show wins the episode.
