This week on the Dogg Zzone 9000, our guest is fantasy author, podcaster, and licensed barbarian Brian McClellan! Brian is the author of the acclaimed Powder Mage series and host of the Page Break podcast, where he interviews authors, artists, and unassociated maniacs alike.

Now, Brockway was intrigued by Brian’s Class B License to Barbarian, so he put together a challenge for him and unlicensed barbarian Seanbaby – what if the 1987 sword and sorcery movie The Barbarians, starring The Barbarian Brothers, but you roleplay it?

No, this is not a podcast about an RPG adaptation of that movie. No, Brockway didn’t turn the movie into the setting for a roleplaying game. It’s just the movie, but you play it. It’s… listen, it’s just easier to show you.

Lift us wherever you get your podcasts, and make a fine Walrus Noise to let others know you approve of our work.

The 1900HOTDOG store has moved homes! You can now find it at PoxCoStore.com, with new designs, new products, and the same old wiener smell you associate with fine Hot Dog goods. Remember, all of our wares should not be, so be prepared at all times for them to not.

What a fantastic year 2021 was! We spent the whole year head down in Hot Dog magic – fighting dicks and fleeing Beezbos, catching murderers and watching cowboys get CTE.** It’s been plainly wonderful in every single way. And now, to poke our heads out and check how the year went for literally everything not Hot Dog…

Haha wow, okay. You guys really fucked that all up, huh?

Well, there’s a good new rule: Never check on anything.

Let’s break it right away with our very last podcast of the year, which is all about following up on huge 1900🌭 moments. It features rakish author and substack roustabout Jason Pargin!

1900🌭’s mission statement is to find and mock ridiculous things, and our work ends there. But if we were real journalists, we would have looked a little harder and told you about the insane stories behind a few of this year’s biggest Hot Dog finds. So we did that! That’s what this podcast is!

This is your absolute last chance to subscribe in 2021, and if you don’t get busy right now you’ll never be able to say you reviewed the Dogg Zzone 9000 this year.

…

*Fun Fact: The ‘C’ stands for CONK!

**Less Fun Fact: The ‘T’ and ‘E’ still stand for traumatic encephelopathy.

Please give a rewarmed Hot Dog welcome to comedian, filmmaker, and former professional online hookup broker, Teresa Lee! She’s joining us on the podcast this week, where Seanbaby shows his affection the only way he knows how: By attacking her psyche with a cursed book from his library of things that should never be. It’s actually a pretty good system – if she flees, that’s totally understandable. But if she stays, we’re automatic best friends because it’s like going through war together.

This time we’re discussing How to Pick Up Girls at a Con by the Night Kid$, a group of Instagram-cute nerd boys trying to be pickup artists but finding out mid-book that they don’t have the pickup part, or the artist part. It’s full of advice that is, best case, insultingly obvious, and most case, painfully problematic. Every page of it is thick with insufferable anime puns. It exclusively refers to women as waifus.

We’re probably not getting a new best friend out of this one.

By default, Amazon’s “Sample This Book” function pulls 10% of your total book for a sample. Here is the sample for How to Pick Up Girls at a Con. This is 10% of the entire book.

There’s 10% of everything the Night Kid$ know about women. Anyway, remember to wash your ass before you subscribe to the podcast here, and then there is no second thing before you leave us a review here.

Podcasting Day: The Hulk Text Adventure Game, with Ali Fisher and Carly Monardo! 🌭

You’re in for a treat, fans of comedy and high adventure! This week we’re joined by Ali Fisher and Carly Monardo from Rude Tales of Magic and Oh These, Those Stars of Space. You’re in for a savage disappointment, fans of logic and coherence! We’re playing Marvel Questprobe’s The Hulk.

In 1984, Marvel Comics launched an ambitious series of 12 text-adventure games complete with tie-in comic book lines starring their flagship characters. It was a huge release not to be taken lightly, so they teamed up with a company called Adventure Interactive run by Scott Adams, total lunatic.

For the very first installment in this massive crossover event, he chose to build a text-based puzzle adventure game starring… The Hulk. You know, the character who solves all puzzles with smashing, and can barely speak? Scott Adams then designed a tiny looping meta-prison and set him off on a psychedelic non-adventure about gem collecting and digging holes. It never went anywhere near sense, and it gassed you every time you tried to use your Hulk powers.

That was the best way Scott Adams’ broken brain knew to communicate his plight to the outside world. This was not a game, it was a plea for help filtered through the corrupted logic centers of a man who’d almost certainly been poisoned by the dangerous metals inside early home computers. Here are all the images you’ll need to decipher the visual code he uses to beg for death.

Don’t forget to dig us a hole (that’s mercury poisoning for subscribe) and then ants attack eyes (cadmium poisoning for review).

Podcasting Day: The Sincere Episode, with Jason Pargin! 🌭

Welcome to a Very Special Podcasting Day. Today we’re doing something crazy, something experimental, something strange and impossible that you never expected from us, and may never hear from us again:

Unbridled positivity!

This week we’re joined by relentless optimist Jason Pargin for an all-positive podcast with no twist. See, I just mentioned there’s no twist and already you’re on guard for traps and betrayals. I’ve trained you for that, that’s understandable, those instincts will save you in The Hot Dog Labyrinth, but there’s seriously no twist to this premise: Awesome shows we genuinely like that are buried on streaming platforms.

That’s it! It’s nothing revolutionary, there are surely countless podcasts with this exact premise, but it’s a nearly impossible task for us. You’ll be on the edge of your seat as we repeatedly dip into our natural state, mockery, then struggle to emotionally wrestle ourselves out of it. We’ll start getting goofy, we’ll start doing our jobs and being funny, and no! We’ll drag ourselves from the brink and remember: This is awesome. This is an episode about genuinely good things and the broken people who struggle to enjoy them.

I won’t tell you which shows we’re talking about, but I will tell you what their porn parodies would be.

That’s it! That was the joke. The better ones are in the podcast, which you can subscribe to here, or wherever they do that thing. Prove you’re a better person than us — one capable of sincerely enjoying things — by leaving us a review. That’ll show us!
