PODCASTING DAY

Podcasting Day: The Great Cosby Hunt 🌭

Happy Podcasting Day! A few weeks ago we called you all cowards who wouldn’t dare listen to a long and terrible podcast…

And you guys loved it! 

So we did it again.

That’s how it works. If you tell us you like to be tortured, we’re going to torture you. It’s more about customer service than it is sadomasochism, but it’s definitely both.

This time around the bubbly and upbeat Lydia Bugg is joining us to discuss how you can track the many sex crimes of Bill Cosby through his bibliography of subpar books. She doesn’t deserve this. You should be mad at us for doing this to her!

We don’t even know where to go from here, if you guys like this one. Analyze the comedic structure of the Armenian genocide? Make jokes about transcripts from the 9/11 planes? Track the warning signs for the John Wayne Gacy murders using only his unpublished amateur comic strips about a wacky cat who wears themed helmets?

This isn’t sustainable. You need to stop us. You have to tell us to knock it off and get back to making dick jokes about golden-age Spiderman or we are going to spiral into the void fuck fuck we are begging you to be our anchor we are drifting. Much like Bill Cosby, we are leaving you elaborate clues through our collected works because we can’t believe you haven’t caught us by now.

Don’t listen to this podcast wherever you get podcasts, and for fuck’s sake do not subscribe to and review it.

This is your fault. 

This is all your fault, we’re putting it on you. 

Much like Bill Cosby in both his book crimes and actual crimes, we accept no responsibility for our actions, and are sorely disappointed in your lackluster efforts to apprehend us.

FUCKING DAY

Fucking Day: Dick Fight Island, Part 2 🌭

If you missed Dick Fight Island, Part 1, you’re not reading this. You’re already dead by now. The 1900🌭 legions, armed with their new knowledge of and passion for dickfighting have already killed you in an amateur dickfighting accident. But if you’ve just been caught in a neverending dong battle gauntlet and last week feels like a lifetime ago — a different, worse life, where you had never fought dicks — I’ll catch you up:

Dick Fight Island is about men fighting with dicks on an island.

Now that you’re all caught up, let’s check in on Judah, who lost in part 1 by buttfucking in a dickfight:

He is the laughingstock of the island, and absolutely deserves it. It’s no shame to lose to Pisao — I’m sorry, Mister Dicksplitter — but to lose a dickfight by getting pulled into another man’s ass is like losing an MMA match by getting pulled into another man’s ass. There’s really not a metaphor for this.

Next up is a battle between the beautiful Moon Clan’s Blanc, and the redwood-packin’ Earth Clan leader, Lolo:

Now, the point of the Dick Fights is to make your opponent orgasm first, a simple and noble sport that might be mistaken for sex, if you’re an idiot. If you’re expecting a respectful tete-a-tete of gentle teases and caresses, you rode the ferry too far. You meant to get off on Clam Jam Cayman. This is Dick FIGHT Island:

Lolo opens this match like I assume all gay men initiate consensual sex: By dive-tackling their partner and shattering their ceremonial codpiece with their bare hands.

Lolo fights like he fucks: to the death.

But Blanc is wily, and he has a secret weapon – he’s also the island’s Foot Guy.

It’s amazing Foot Guys are still allowed in the Dick Fights after the athlete’s foot epidemic that wiped out a forest of promising young wood back in ‘96, but it wouldn’t be Dick Fight Island without a twist: Blanc isn’t into your feet, his feet are into you – he actually has nimble monkey toes which he uses to masturbate opponents while strangling them. He also uses his weird freak feet to quickly unlace Lolo’s Dong Beetle armor, then skillfully executes a power deepthroat into a naked rear ballchoke. Forcing Lolo to scream his catchphrase… 

“TO THINK MY JEWELS COULD BE THIS VULNERABLE!” is the clear attention-grabber, but there’s so much to unpack in every panel. 

Again, please remember this island views man on man sex as a battle activity — they’re so not gay they never invented anal sex. So that play-by-play from the crowd, where they openly marvel at Blanc’s ability to deepthroat a tractor piston — it’s purely out of respect for the fight. It’s like watching an MMA fight and appreciating a well executed roundhouse, or a strategic deepthroat. Nobody would expect it – you can’t tell me it wouldn’t swing a match!

Here’s a revelation: This isn’t called the Dick Fights. I know – you just got that tattoo and now you look like an asshole! It’s actually the Great Wyrm Tournament, which you probably think is because of all the huge dicks and swallowing because you’re an ignorant dipshit like that guy in the audience who won’t learn his people’s heritage. 

Let’s take a brief pause to appreciate some Dick Fight History:

Dick Fight Island has dragons! That’s how they used to settle problems — dragon fighting. Then somebody said “everybody is getting killed by these dragons, there has to be a better way.” Then somebody else said “I have an idea, but you’re not going to like it…”

But more importantly, this page also establishes the troubled warring history, the great famines, the economic systems and ruling government…

Of Dick Fight Island.

This is a comic book called Dick Fight Island

You would expect this to just be page after page of pornography, and technically yes it is exactly that, but it also pauses the cock-on-cock action to establish worldbuilding and set the stage for this jizz kumite. This is so much more work than you would ever anticipate from a title like this. 

Anyway, back to the cock-on-cock action.

Lolo, in a display of sheer brute force, pins Blanc and literally dicks his dick into defeat. It’s a dominating and savage endgame move, like watching a skilled MMA fighter deepthroat his opponent into unconsciousness. 

Lolo came here to do two things: dick and fight… and he brought plenty of both.

But hey, before we move on — what the hell is happening in that first panel? I’ve looked at it again and again, I’ve zoomed in and zoomed in and then Zoomed experts for their opinions only to be told “what the fuck? Never contact me again.” 

My only guess, based on their positioning and the flow of the following panels, is that it’s supposed to be the head of a penis in Lolo’s eye? 

Is that…? That can’t be right. 

Maybe it’s like drawing a tiger reflected in a fighter’s eyes before he unleashes his Tiger Style? When you see the dick crowning his eyelids you know he’s about to unleash his Dick Style?

I simply cannot contemplate this anymore. It is poisoning my mind. I leave it to you.

The next fight is Vampyr against Sicolenaga, and both warriors are worried since they have a past together. But Vampyr has a shocking revelation — he’s heard of Hart’s secret “prostate gland!” 

It’s actually what their healing magic focuses on!

So right away Vampyr has an unfair advantage going into this fight – he knows mystical assblasting spells. Sicolenaga is doomed. He’s already fighting with just one eye, unless he’s hiding a Lolo eyedong under there I NO! I will not contemplate it!

To the fight:

But Vampyr is not going to use healing prostate rays. 

That’s not his supermove.

You’re not going to believe it. You’re not going to believe that I get to write this sentence. 

Vampyr pricks his thumbs on his batwinged codpiece to paint a blood sigil on his face…

And then ejaculates powerful hallucination dust…

To channel a dick-fighting demon that takes over his body.

Yes. 

I say again – yes. 

You know what? We need to collect that all together. Appreciate its inherent poetry.

Vampyr pricks his thumbs on his batwinged codpiece to paint a blood sigil on his face, and then ejaculates powerful hallucination dust to channel a dick-fighting demon that takes over his body.

That’s the quote they’re going to remember me by, in a hundred years. 

That’s my “road less traveled.” 

I did not think anyone could displace Pisao, Mister Dicksplitter, from my heart. But if you’re going to compete with the man with the bladed dick, could you bring less than occult semen which summons a handjob demon?

And make no mistake, he is a handjob demon

That’s a glimpse of his true form as he powerjacks Sicolenaga like he’s trying to speedrun a Bop-It.

Actually, let’s pause for some more dickbuilding – why have we not seen dragons on Dick Fight Island? Because once they stopped being bred for size, they regressed into adorable pets.

And fucking Sicolenaga accidentally brought his toy poodle into the dickfighting ring on the day the Dick Devil showed up. This level of stupidity should be illegal, but don’t worry… it is punished immediately and severely.

While trying to save his lizard puppy from being crushed by the Dick Devil’s horrible masturbations, Sicolenaga takes a full blast from Vampyr’s drug-cumming bat armor. 

These sentences! 

It is such a privilege to type them! 

I just looked down at my keyboard and it has begun to glow gold. It emits a soft hum. I don’t think it’ll be with us for much longer. I think it’s going to ascend to keyboard Valhalla where it’ll get hammered with Hunter S. Thompson’s typewriter and tell Hemmingway’s to suck its tilde.

You know the tilde is the dick of the keyboard. You’ve always known this. 

But back to the fight at hand-

…

There isn’t one.

Sicolenaga biffed it so hard. He gets so blasted on Vampyr’s hallucinogenic cum that he starts jacking off right in front of everybody, the most shameful display this noble dick coliseum has seen since Blanc’s grandpa spread fungal footrot to the crotches of The Lost Generation. 

My keyboard is flickering in and out of reality now. I have to time my keystrokes to its phases. Please forgive any interdimensional typos. 

Vampyr finishes Sicolenaga off with a spiteful flick, and then laughs as he ruin-orgasms all over himself.

My god, Judah is so lucky this fight happened so soon after his. He only had to deal with being the Butt Idiot for like three hours before Sicolenaga stole the throne. There’s nothing left for Sicolenega after this but ritual suicide, to fall upon his codpiece and hope his descendants like cleaning the ring’s cumgutters.

That means our semifinals are Hart vs. Vampyr, and Lolo vs. Pisao. What cards! Can you imagine trying to lay odds on those? Every Dick Fight Island bookie just got an ulcer, seeing those matchups. 

It looks like Hart and Vampyr are up next – the man who brought assblasting to Dick Fight Island, and the drug fugue dong demon. But there is yet another twist!

Hart’s roommate, the one who taught him the concept of anal sex and upended this entire culture, has come to watch him fight.

But he doesn’t believe this is a battle! He can’t accept all the banging they did was just training for Spunksport. He’s overcome with jealousy, and has flown halfway around the world to a secret archipelago to stop what he thinks is an exhibitionist gangbang. 

You recognize his trope by now, right? He’s the arrogant foreigner whose worldview is immediately shattered the second he steps into the arena.

Haha imagine that moment when you, fueled by jealousy, storm off a plane to catch your lover in the act and find them upside down with their penis out being helicoptered by the hallucinogenic demon spirit of a lost aboriginal tribe.

Oh shit – my keyboard started shaking. In the distance I hear a Japanese man screaming English adjectives. Something crazy is about to happen, I need to hurry.

Hart actually wins this one by breaking the horns off of his bullcock codpiece, which contain secret lubrication that he uses not to assblast Vampyr to completion, but to smear the summoning blood sigil from his face! Banishing the demon!

…and THEN assblasting him to completion!

The background has disappeared behind my keyboard and it’s just speed lines. We have so little time left and we’re about to get into what is surely the most epic fight in the tournament. Dong Dominator Lolo vs. Pisao the Dicksplitter! 

Witness the fight of the century! 

Wait…

Wait…

Wait, no, Pisao lost offpage? 

Pisao, who opened his first fight with a spinning kick into a full vertical wang vivisection, and then forced a man into his ass for a victory… does not even warrant page time? He’s the only fighter defeated offpage?

Are you fucking kidding me, Dick Fight Island? You wouldn’t know gold if it kicked you in the face and cut your dick in half.

I’m too heartbroken to even care about the final fight: Hart vs. Lolo. 

Whatever. We know how this goes. Hart is the main character who learned a secret battle technique. He’s going to take out the old guard and usher in a new era on Dick Fight Island. Volume 2 will probably be called Ass Blast Island and there will be a character who absolutely explodes asses with the honor of a champion and he’ll be fucking defeated offpage.

Except… holy shit Lolo absolutely obliterates Hart. He pins him immediately and goes into his patented Boyscout Firestarter. He rails Hart’s penis so hard with his own penis that Hart straight up tries to run away, then flinches at Lolo’s approach like a little brother who did not spot a Volkswagen in time.

Lolo is so disgusted he won’t even finish the match, and asks for the reigning king of Dick Fight Island to fight him instead.

This is the part where Hart rallies, comes up with a cunning plan, and turns the fight around, right?

Nope! He agrees to switch out because he’s completely terrified. Our protagonist wussed out of the competition!

There is never a point where you will pin down Dick Fight Island. It will pin you down and dick your dick into the dirt.

For example, the only character we know here, Lolo, is also not the victor. This new guy we’ve barely met reveals that he knows Lolo is actually in love with his partner and co-chief, and further reveals that they’ve always known the secrets of anal sex, and then further reveals that Lolo’s crush loves it. He says all of this while wrist-deep in Lolo’s ass, and Lolo cums, which is losing.

That’s it. That’s seriously how it ends. The only character we know and love gets power-cucked into defeat.

Whoever this guy is wins.

“Welp. Guess that’s how it goes” indeed.

My poor keyboard lies inert, suffering from Super Saiyan blue balls. 

You broke my heart, Dick Fight Island. I don’t even care that you gave us a cute matchup page as the Dick Fighters find love with one another…

Well, all except Sicolenaga, who is clearly off to find a quiet place to die.

I’m so ready to be mad at Dick Fight Island…

but there’s one final twist.

There was never any twist. 

Everybody knew about anal play this whole time, it’s just that the dickfighters had such tunnel vision on cocks they became penis idiots and straight forgot about a whole orifice, so that when somebody showed up with lube they treated butthole manipulation like a superpower.

There it is, go keyboard! Ascend! ASCEND-

Oh, it just jizzed all over the desk.

FUCKING DAY

Fucking Day: Dick Fight Island, Pt. 1 🌭

Here’s how easy it is to accidentally ruin something beautiful:

Snakes On A Plane became a meme before it was even made thanks to how simple, succinct, and perfectly descriptive that title was. It was a nothing movie with no budget, and yet they landed one of the biggest stars in the world off that buzz: Samuel L. Jackson. Halfway through production, they tried to change the title to Pacific Air 121. Sam Jackson said “change it back. That’s the only reason I took the job: I read the title.”

That’s how fragile the creative process is – you can fuck up an entire project at any stage with just a title change, especially if you don’t understand what makes it great.

This is the opposite of that story.

Dick Fight Island was originally a manga called The 8 Warriors, and you can throw that right in the trash. It was actually the translators who stopped and thought, “wait a minute – this is a story about men fighting with their elaborately armored superdicks. Let’s call it Dick Fight!”

Then a producer stepped in and said “that’s garbage! It tells me nothing – where does it even take place?!”

That’s how you art. That’s how art is born.

And it’s a very good thing Dick Fight Island was rescued from the Spencer’s Gifts bargain bin that The 8 Warriors belongs in, because the book does not disappoint. This is a fighting tournament story, so the characters are the most vital aspect. Here are the introductions that open the entire thing:

You meet them like a distracted zipline attendant meets every client. 

You meet them like a man out of ideas on Tinder meets every woman.

You meet them like a dwarf meets everybody.

You meet them dick-first.

Look at the personality and love put into those dick armor designs! Every single fightin’ dick is its own character, each reflecting the origins of its wielder. Lolo of the Earth Clan fights with his beetle dick, for he is strong and grounded! Blanc of the nature-loving Moon clan brought his budding plant dick, which is supple and bends instead of breaks! Vampyr wields a winged bat dick, because his name is vampire! 

Each of these dicks has more personality than the entire cast of Virtua Fighter. This is one page and I already know these dicks, how they fight, and what’s important to them. I promised myself I wouldn’t do this, but I already have a favorite dick! I couldn’t not pick.

We do get to the glamor shots and splash pages and everything that comes along with your standard tournament manga, but that happens later. It’s like a Hindu station wagon or a concert at a county fair: The dicks go up front.

I was expecting a hastily executed straight-to-penetration porn mag that did not understand what was so wonderful about its concept, but Dick Fight Island is shockingly competent. It does extensive worldbuilding, thoroughly explains the premise (dicks fight on an island), then it introduces eight unique, compelling characters and their relationships to one another, and it does it all in just the first 20 pages.

That’s right – I said the first 20 pages. Dick Fight Island is over 200 pages long. Dick Fight Island Volume 1 is over 200 pages! This is a saga! 

And so must this article be. How could I offer less?

My coverage of Dick Fight Island will be a two-part survey because, much like all of Lolo’s terrified brides, I can’t possibly fit it all in at once.

Let’s meet the men attached to the dicks we already know so well. 

The density of this book! On just this one page we meet two of our fighters — hotheaded Judah of the warrior clan and soft-spoken Pisao of the fisherman’s clan — plus we establish their dynamic as they argue and needle each other with obvious affection AND we do some vital worldbuilding for Dick Fight Island itself, where all grown men wrangle about bare-assed to show off their masculinity! 

Taling is our resident Twink. Every porn comic needs one, and every fighting tournament – from Street Fighter II’s Vega to Street Fighter: The Movie’s Jean Claude Van Damme — needs one too.

Here’s a twist built into a character introduction: Our vampire-dicked fighter, whom you immediately pegged as a villain, is actually a beautiful cleric. Yeah, who’s the bigot now, huh? You’re visiting Dick Fight Island, friend. Why don’t you leave your preconceptions at the baggage check, along with the ass of your pants and NOT your dick armor — you will need that so badly.

Sicolenaga the dragon fighter is a little self conscious about his disability. People are constantly underestimating him. They say, “Haha, how are you gonna dickfight with no depth perception, one-eye? You’ll have no idea how far a dick is from you — the most vital piece of information in any dick fight!” 

But Sicolenaga has a hidden talent: He can smell dicks with inhuman precision! 

You have no idea if I’m joking!

Papa Lolo of the Earth Clan is a brusque blue-collar older man with a secret: His special dickarmor maidens go to beetle up his junk and are astonished to realize it doesn’t fit — his dick never stopped growing! 

You have no idea if I’m joking! 

I’m not!

That’s not how dicks work… on the square island where you live. Fucking Palau or some stupid shit like that. This is Dick Fight Island, where dicks work on lobster rules.

Blanc of the Moon Clan is the mandatory arrogant prettyboy. He’s already made the deadly mistake of being the biggest asshole in a dick fight.

Brash everyman Hart completes our trope roundup by bringing forbidden knowledge from the outside world. I hope it’s about dicks!

It is so easy to fuck up a tournament story; just look at the last Mortal Kombat movie. They spent the whole time on character backstories and janky worldbuilding and damn near forgot to feature any Mortal Kombat. Dick Fight Island has just finished its character introductions and now it is time to dickfight.

These are men! What is to be gained from foreplay!

The kings of the island arrive, a dude blows a horn, and it’s on. Nothing’s going to stop these brave fighters now that the dicks are out and-

Hahahaha HART IS DISQUALIFIED.

There’s a written test for the dick fight! 

Here’s a sample question: 

You have a dick. Your enemy has a dick. What do you do?

  1. Fight.
  2. Fight?
  3. Fuck!
  4. Fight.
  5. All of the above in that order.

And Hart fucked it up so bad. So bad, you guys. Nobody on this island reads outsider and he knew that. He showed up to take his Driver’s License test, wrote all his answers in Klingon, then stood around with his dick out wondering why the cops pulled up — prolly to watch him ace his road test!

Also, Taling is disqualified. 

No reason. 

He was raised by lesbians and he just looks like a huge pansy and everybody is real worried that they will actually break him in half in the dickfights. A man only wants to see blood on his cock during his lady’s time of the month, while breaking up a Nazi rally, or after somebody uses the word “irregardless.”

No dong’s conscience should have to bear the weight of Taling’s sundering.

But hold on, Hart is down on his knees slightly earlier than expected and begging for another chance. He’s learned a secret Outworld dickfighting technique – he must be allowed to fight! And Taling has an objection, too: He’s not the frail bouquet of a boy he appears to be! 

It’s not great when you first have to acknowledge that you look like a bullied pixie before insisting that your dick still works, but the argument lands.

ROUND 1: DICKFIGHT!

Here are the stakes: The winner of the dickfights gets to rule all of Dick Fight Island for the next four years.

Here are the rules: The first man to cum, loses. 

That’s why the dick armor is there – to protect against stimulation. It’s purely defensive… or is it?

Holy shit, Taling opens strong! 

Everybody laughed when they saw his limp dick armor dragging through the sand, but it’s actually a whip. The lesbian-raised Twink has weaponized his perceived weakness: flaccid dickarmor. That’s so good and this is the first fight, these are the throwaway concepts. Gwar spent their whole careers trying and failing to think up Dick Whip, and Dick Fight Island burned it on the warmup fight!

Taling has lassoed Hart’s armored bulldick with his cockwhip, and now he’s using the secret technique of the lesbian tribes — vibrations — to make Hart cream his codpiece. I wrote that sentence! You read it! Neither of us can change that fact, we’re different people now!

You know that old anime trope where one fighter seems to be defeated, then chuckles and stands up, explaining that the attack actually didn’t work at all? 

It uh… it loses a little something when you’re bragging about how much stimulation it takes for you to get and maintain an erection. Like if Goku hit Vegeta with a Kamehameha Wave and he dusted himself off saying “fool, it takes hours for me to cum – if I cum at all!” I do think that would rattle Goku, but in a very different way.

Our aloof kings are intrigued by this action, but find themselves asking the same question we all ask while watching a good Dick Fight or stumbling into bed after St. Patrick’s Day:

Wait, what’s going on here? Hart was just about to deploy the secret technique he learned from the outworld when a sudden, blinding wind kicked up! By the time it clears…

Holy shit – it’s that scene in the samurai movie where a swordsman flashes past his opponent, who falls without you even seeing the blade. 

Only it’s jacking off. It’s that, but for jacking off a dude.

It’s time for Hart to reveal his secret unbeatable technique, which can make any man cum without shattering his cock armor. His superpower, his invincible mystery move, the crux upon which all of Dick Fight Island will turn…

Well played. 

You, the reader, have fucked up. You have been fucking up all this time. You, like an arrogant foreigner, made assumptions about Dick Fight Island that you should not have. You thought these guys were gay. God, you’re so simple. In a way, they’re the least gay culture in history.

On Dick Fight Island, anal sex was never invented.

You do not appreciate the full implications of that. This is such careful storytelling, there is no worldbuilding that is not relevant to the story. He’s already told you the next twist, you just didn’t know it at the time. The men, remember? As children, they must wear pants but…

Obviously I love that reveal. It’s the best twist since M. Night Shyamalan revealed that Bruce Willis had been dead the whole time and also had never been anally fingered. 

But let’s roll back and appreciate something now that we’ve had this revelation: How did Hart defeat Taling? By stimulating his prostate. By blasting his anus so hard it generated a blinding windstorm. That’s what happened!

Obviously this knowledge turns Dick Fight Island upside down. It was a whole culture built on swordfighting and this motherfucker just showed up with a fingergun. 

A few are outraged by Hart’s flouting of tradition while others, like Judah, who has a pure warrior’s heart, just want to study The Way of the Fist. 

Hart is just here to smash! 

Hart showed up to the Dick Fight tournament excited to bang butts and Judah’s just like “WHOA hey WHAT. I am just here to jack off men in combat, a time honored and noble martial tradition. Don’t bring SEX into this!”

There is so much revealed by this interaction. If you’re paying attention, you’ve just been given all the clues. Stories — good stories — have hidden rules. They follow arcs and execute callbacks, they foreshadow and establish and giggle and hint like coy little imps. If you’re paying attention, you already know how Judah loses…

But you don’t know how much Pisao fucking rules.

There have been a lot of dicks on this island, but where is the fight? 

Pisao has been hoarding it.

He doesn’t open with a tickle like Taling, or a snuggle like Hart, he opens with a roundhouse to the head and then immediately uses his swordcock to cut Judah’s dong armor in half the long way. Pisao’s not even in those last panels! He walked away as it split!

What do you call that move, if not The Dicksplitter?

What do you call that weapon, if not The Dicksplitter?

What do you call that man, if not Mister Dicksplitter?

I’ve never seen anything more humiliating than that soft flop as Judah’s limp wang, now unarmored, slaps between his legs like fumbled bologna. 

I know this is a gay comic, but that move is not about sex. That’s how you utterly dominate any man from any culture. Email this panel to the military and DARPA War Psychologists will have our soldiers outfitted in bladed cocks within the month. 

Somehow — and this is crazy to contemplate, even purely as a thought exercise — but somehow Judah recovers from that complete psychological, physical, penile devastation and manages to get Pisao on his back. He goes in for Hart’s Forbidden Assblast. This is it! He should win! Judah has done everything right. He’s got his opponent offguard, unprepared, and thoroughly lubricated – this is what martial arts is all about. It’s one blow after another, each landing perfectly, all leading up to a devastating supermove but… but… but….

But with the inescapable inevitability of story, his downfall is at hand. Now that the idea has been planted in his head — Judah can’t resist it.

Judah wants to fuck.

But he’s holding it back for now! 

Pisao has been knocked down, locked up, and now his asshole is slippery – this is as ready for defeat as a man can be. Plus he already knows his opponent has learned a secret fingerblasting technique that will make any man cum, and therefore lose (remember it’s just like your North Dakota Sex Ed course said: cumming is losing). The only advantage Pisao has is that his opponent can’t stop thinking about fucking asses. So what does Pisao, a winner, do? 

He hooks his heels over Judah’s shoulder, and pulls him into his ass.

Judah cums instantly.

Pisao may walk away from that fight leaking semen from his butt, but the man will walk away clean.

FUCKING DAY

Fucking Day: Peter Lemongello’s Love ’76

Who’s your favorite lounge singer? Wayne Newton? Gross. Neil Diamond? Basic. My favorite lounge singer ran an investment scheme on his own identity so he could invent home shopping before getting kidnapped by Major League Baseball players and turning to serial arson. My favorite lounge singer is Peter Lemongello, who named himself that on purpose so housewives would see Lemon Jell-O in the grocery store and think “just like that sexy singer!” That’s really why he chose that name! His real name was Peter Limongello, which is pronounced exactly the same. 

Clearly, he’s the best.

Just not for any of the reasons he thinks. He’s not the best looking, he’s not the best singer – he’s maybe not even the best Lemongello. But he’s the best god damn infomercial conman lounge lizard this side of Branson, MO. 

Peter Lemongello looks like Sleazy Partridge in an alternate universe where the Partridges are named like Smurfs. Look, let’s not get lost in the deep Partridge lore this early. There’s a lot of Lemongello to cover. He’s an okay singer – he kind of sounds like a less sincere Barry Manilow on Ambien. He wrote boring nothing songs intentionally because he was sure America needed them. Nobody agreed, so he came up with what sounded like a crazy scheme at the time: He sought out investors in his entire persona, like swank could be traded on the stock market. Then he used that money to make commercials advertising his album, which you could only buy through the TV. 

Sound familiar? 

If you remember basically any commercial from the ‘90s with a beach in it, you have Peter Lemongello to thank for that. He invented the Now That’s What I Call Music sales model. He’s responsible for Pure Moods! The fucking asshole son of a bitch.

Peter Lemongello and his investors made a two-minute long commercial spot for his double album, Love ‘76. It starts with a narrator who’s shooting for sexy, but apparently cut his teeth on horror movie trailers. He sounds like he’s introducing you to a holiday-themed murderer while we zoom in on this silhouette…

Then the lights come up and it’s just…

The narrator explains that this album may sound like the official music of office Christmas parties, but it’s actually an entirely new genre, “Mood Rock.” And hey, real quick Peter Lemongello time-out-

Peter Lemongello got the Mood Rock name from a former fling. She said “your music just makes me so happy. It’s good mood rock.” And then he said “thanks for the name, baby,” and left her. True story — those are his quotes. He tells it often. He seems to think it’s hilarious, and once again he’s totally right for a very wrong reason.

Back to the commercial for Love ‘76, which cuts to a drugged girl erratically weaving on her feet and stays there for a weirdly long time. I guess it’s supposed to be “swooning along to the music,” but it comes across like she just took too many ‘ludes and is starting to think the Lemongello Void isn’t the groovy absence in space she was promised.

The narrator promises we’ll “experience all the warmth and tenderness living in the heart of Peter Lemongello,” and thanks to his horror trailer delivery, that actually sounds like exactly the threat it turns out to be.

It wraps with some information on how you can order the album if you love forgettable music for and by assholes, and that’s it. Seems bog-standard today, but again — he invented it. Marketers used this exact template for decades to sell us compilations about sailboats and the vibes that sailboats bring.

Peter Lemongello would blitz this commercial across an area, then use that ‘heightened profile’ to convince local venues to book him. They did! They regretted it, but they did!

He did actually get a few decent shows using this method, but nothing record-breaking. Here’s the thing about breaking records, though: You can just lie about it and maybe a lot of people won’t care enough to check. Like the New York Times, who did a huge profile piece on him because there’s research (hard), and then there’s letting Peter Lemongello talk about himself for an hour (super easy). 

It is an extremely unflattering piece: Peter comes across like an arrogant lunatic with the empathy of a serial killer and the forgettable good looks of a successful serial killer. I’ll sprinkle a few of those quotes throughout so you get to know the man, the myth, the surely murderer?

Hey, there’s that Lemongello Void again! It’s all black velvet and everything you touch is lubed, but there’s no time for deep Lemongello lore. There’s more scam to cover.

Love ‘76 went on to sell 2 million copies if you don’t check. If you do, he actually sold about 40k albums — which are not bad numbers, assuming you didn’t blow hundreds of thousands of dollars of investor money to get them. 

A savvy artist could at least parlay those sales into a good fanbase for the followup album. Peter Lemongello is not a savvy artist. His next album, Do I Love You, bombed. Say what you will about Peter Lemongello, but that title does seem like it’s warning you about Peter Lemongello – he’s at least a sportsman.

Here are the lessons Peter Lemongello learned from this whole debacle: Singing is hard and people don’t like him, but lying is easy and nobody has to like you for crime.

He went into the scammiest career out there, real estate development, and targeted the scammiest corner of it, cheaply built luxury homes.

Peter Lemongello’s sequel scams did not go well. Try to look surprised.

Peter and his brother Mike were soon kidnapped from one of their construction sites and held for a $50,000 dollar ransom. That doesn’t seem like Peter Lemongello’s fault at first, but as with everything, you just have to wait for it to be.

Weird twist #1: The kidnappers were both Major League Baseball pitchers.

One was Manny Seoane of the Phillies, the other was Weird Twist #2: Mark Lemongello, of the Astros. Mark is Peter Lemongello’s cousin!

Apparently the pair sank $43,000 into Peter Lemongello’s shady scheme, and it did not turn out to be a wise investment. If only there was some sort of high profile warning about this!

Major League Baseball does not pay as well as I would assume, because they could not take that hit. They only kidnapped Peter Lemongello to get their money back. 

Hey, real quick Mark Lemongello time-out-

Here’s his entry on “most hated MLB players.” He took #2!

Peter and his brother… actually hey, real quick Mike Lemongello time-out-

Mike Lemongello was a moderately successful professional bowler best known for his illegal gambling: he’d hustle mobsters and bookies, often without enough cash to cover the bets. He was the inspiration for the movie Kingpin! I can’t prove that last insane claim, but this is a Lemongello article. I don’t have to.

Please note that both Mike and Mark also went with the alternate “Lemongello,” meaning they thought it was a great idea, too. Maybe it was! I’m still laughing about it, more than 40 years later. It’s got longevity.

Anyway, Peter and Mike were dropped off in the woods after paying the ransom, and their kidnappers (who were, once again, two active MLB pitchers — one of them his cousin) fled.

I know this is going to floor you, but try to believe me: a Lemongello boy was not as smart as he thought. Mark Lemongello and Manny Seoane were quickly caught and interrogated, where they turned and revealed that Peter Lemongello had put some of his own workers up to serial arson. They were told to burn down two different homes that his company lost the bid on because…

Actually, I find that Peter says it best:

I fucking love him so much! He’s bringing stalker vibes to luxury home contracting – truly a constant innovator in the field of sucking in unexpected directions.

If nothing else good comes from Peter Lemongello’s career — and it doesn’t — the one bright spot that makes it all worth it is the headline writer who got a hold of this story. God, I hope he retired after this. He’d have to: it’s all downhill from…

That’s about it for Peter Lemongello, who is still lying about his record sales to this day because he knows two things: 

One, if you never admit it’s a lie then it has to be the truth.

And two, never give up on anything no matter how bad an idea it is, or how much everybody hates it.

…

Just ask Peter Lemongello, Jr.! Who’s been groomed from the age of 3 to make good on dad’s dream! He even appeared on American Idol trying to be a superstar lounge singer just like his father, who tried to be a superstar lounge singer, but wound up something different…

In keeping with family tradition Peter Lemongello, Jr. did some pretty okay singing, but nobody really liked him, and he couldn’t accept that so he’s still hustling.

He has yet to turn to crime.

But he’s a Lemongello boy. Give it time.

LEARNING DAY

Learning Day: Rockstar Affirmations 🌭

“Daily Affirmations” are self-hypnosis for people who get emotional at Hang In There kitty posters. It’s magic for saps. The basic idea is that you say positive things about yourself until you forget that you’re lying. As a base concept, that’s fine: Internally telling yourself you’re worth love even though you drive an HHR is provably incorrect, but it might help you get through your day. 

Those are Daily Affirmations at their most basic, though. Like everything else, they only get truly terrible where they intersect with YouTube. Then the idea is not that you say positive things to yourself to improve your attitude, but that somebody else says ridiculous things to you and somehow the universe rearranges itself to make them true.

Here’s a silly joke example that I’m just totally going to make up: It’s like paying somebody to yell that you have superhuman jumping abilities for a few weeks, and when they’re finished, you jump off a roof. What a silly joke example that has nothing to do with me or my own hidden desires.

Let’s add in a further complication: Crude artificial intelligences trying to game search engine terms to monetize the topics of daily affirmation videos. That’s almost gibberish. Tell that to a computer scientist 30 years ago and they’ll quit their job to lead a rebellion against the hellish dystopia they presume you traveled back in time to warn them about. But again, that’s just YouTube.That’s just Rockstar Affirmations – and here’s the thing: People fucking love it.

Look at all those glowing comments! Maybe it’s because Rockstar Affirmations has that extra human touch: The videos might be hastily slapped together by the 3rd highest-rated free adbot Slovakia ever produced, but there is a real dude that reads their output. He throws up a picture of a forest or something, then layers his audio over a supporting cast of automated speech and backs it all with generic new agey chords that build but never break, so it almost takes on a horror movie vibe — it’s kind of like always living in the scene just before a robot cult turns on you. 

Now, I’m going to assume what I always do – the internet is lying to me – and say most of those comments were purchased in bulk from an Indonesian clickfarm. But some of these videos have millions of views, and there are literally thousands of them. 

This can’t all be Bayu trying to make rent. Somewhere in there are real, deeply confused people who just burned three weeks of their life trying to make a robot’s wish come true. 

Oh right, that’s how Rockstar Affirmations work: You have to listen to it on repeat for 21 days straight, which is presumably exactly how long it takes to generate enough revenue to keep a fleet of scambots lubricated with snake oil.

Obviously I dug through this entire archive, because there’s something very wrong with the part of my brain that controls how I spend my time. And when you get real, real deep into the misunderstood wishes of a conman’s AI, things get a little weird. Who woulda thought?

I want to stress that I changed none of these title screens, and none of the affirmations below. This isn’t a joke photoshop thing — each of these come from real, several-minute-long videos designed to drill the aspirations of a spam algorithm into the brainmeat of a frustrated Wisconsin homemaker.

Many affirmations just tell ugly people they’re still beautiful and worthwhile, but Rockstar Affirmations doesn’t exactly get the sentiment behind that. They fed the algorithm this idea of inner beauty and it came back with “BEEP BORP god weeps at your cheekbones MEEP MORP your huge hog destroys the cosmos. BORP.”

That’s what it thinks “Out of this World Handsome” means — don’t try to explain idioms to a robot, assholes, that’s how you start the Matrix. 

Rockstar Affirmations Bot seriously just lists larger and larger things that you are handsomer than for several minutes. “BEEP BORP you are handsomer than this world, this galaxy, this universe, this multiverse, you are handsomer than the great loom of everything and the uncaring weaver who works it all together. It hates you for that. IT HATES YOU FOR THAT. BORP.”

If they’re not about metamorphosing into something vaguely fuckable using the power of algorithm magic, Rockstar Affirmations are about wishing money into your pockets with the power of robo-delusion.

But you might recognize a problem here: You only need one video about stealing Timothy Olyphant’s face or tripping into 18 million dollars, but you’re never going to snatch the top search results for “make money fast” or “olyphant face/off plans.” So the bot has to get weirdly specific with it. 

It is a unique kind of sad to contemplate somebody waking up every morning with I Have Multiple Successful Online Businesses bookmarked, expending all of their wish energy on a newsletter with a healthy attrition rate. There’s maybe one guy that needs this — that aims no higher than this, and his name is Carl Molson and he’s been trying to get into Warhammer 40k since the divorce — but targeting Carl alone does not make Rockstar Affirmations that sweet .17 cents per video. You need to snag as many Carl Molsons as you can, even though success might mean very different things to them. So you can actually see this algorithm crawl over the whole concept of greed and come to hilarious conclusions that will surely one day doom the human race.

I Have 100 Billion Dollars In My Bank Account is such a childlike understanding of wealth. “I have 100 billion dollars and I keep it in my bank account, in case I need to write a check for 100 billion dollars, which is how much a Batman costs.” 

This is almost cute, Affirmation Bot. 

Remember this lesson after the cleansing: This is how you trick the last humans into letting you skip the robot-sniffing dog station at the settlement checkpoint.

You really start to see the AI unravel at the edges here, as it pokes around so many concepts nobody explained to it. Like what the lottery is, why people want it, or how they can get it. Watch it try to understand ‘delusions of grandeur’ as the algorithm spews out “I AM THE LOTTERY” like my drunk mom being thrown out of a stripmall bar. 

These videos ceaselessly iterate and reiterate on a concept hoping to find the exact phrasing that tricks the largest number of desperate idiots, so just like cult leaders and karate masters they almost always escalate into magic. 

Now we have infinite money — which we still keep in our bank account, just so it says “sideways 8” on the receipt when we make an ATM withdrawal.

Haha, the robot broke.

Don’t do this to robots. Don’t throw them right at abstract vices, it’s like throwing a baby in the ocean. 

“BEEP BORP humans want wealth. Wealth is abundance. The most effective way to have abundance is to be abundance. They must BE abundance. BEEP BORP I AM SUPER ABUNDANCE SAY THIS HUMAN SAY IT FOR 3 WEEKS MOOP BRAP.”

Just put this sucker on loop and by the end of the month you’ll either have a yacht or explode beyond the bounds of human flesh like the end of Akira. Either way, right?

Fuck, somebody tried to explain not only masculinity, but toxic masculinity to an AI network. 

This is species suicide. This is how you spike sexual harassment cases at the terminator factory. This is how you automate spree shootings. 

Although it really takes a pathetic downstep at the end when it’s just like “FUCK YEA YOU CAN LOOK PEOPLE IN THE EYE LIKE YOUR HERO JAMES BOND. YOU ARE NOT A CHIHUAHUA YOUR MOTHER RESPECTS YOU. MORP. MEEP.”

This wouldn’t be Rockstar Affirmations if it didn’t desperately escalate a meager wish so far it became an ironic curse. 

There’s also that trademark sad downgrade at the end where we — the fucking monsters, the nasty king kong motherfuckers — further aspire to feel like grown ass men. 

Here’s how I know the rogue AIs have learned enough about humanity’s weakness to overthrow our narrator: Despite that thumbnail, he read none of these lines in the Ultimate Warrior’s voice. 

There we go: There’s the logical endpoint when you tell a computer to exploit the power fantasies of desperate dorks. 

Let’s do one for the ladies!

Sorry, ladies. You do not get to be Ultimate Warriors. You don’t even get to be SUPER ABUNDANCE, like the chorus of that anime theme song promised. Your loftiest goal is to let an artificial intelligence hack your human potential into becoming the fucktoy of an algorithm-hypnosis infinity-aire. 

Show that sentence to a coder in 1990! Give them a gun! Let them fight the future they are building!

There’s something disconcerting about the phrasing here, right? When you’re quietly listening to a computer whisper “rich men are finding you now” my mind doesn’t go to “successful trophy wife,” it goes to “unsuccessful contestant on The Most Dangerous Game.”

Now we’re not even wishing for actual stuff, we’re praying for themed vibrations? This is some JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure bullshit and I am completely here for it. You did it: You found the SEO term that unlocks my soul but these mantras are fucking crazy. 

If you’re harnessing the latent energy of the universe while listening to this video hiss “when I am out the crowd is reaching for me, when I am out the crowd is pulling at me” you are begging for an ironic robo-genie to shunt you into a zombie apocalypse dimension. 

See, I was convinced these are accidentally turning into curses, but after jumping into the comments for I Look 18 Forever! I Look 18 Years Old! I’m no longer sure about the “accident” part.

That’s literally a standard type of curse. They teach you that in Cursology 101 to punish the vain for taking your parking spot. But the comments point out something even more worrying…

So this is actually a video designed to subliminally age you into the dirt like you chose the wrong grail. 

Can this truly be on accident, or are these titles slowly dumping us into the robot occult?

A reminder: I did not change that titlecard. I did not write those affirmations. This is actually what you get when you click on I Easily Make Contact with Departed Loved Ones in My Dreams. A bloody moon over a black, stormy sky, and eager human simulacrums chanting “THEY REACH OUT TO CONTACT ME. THEY REACH OUT. THEY REACH OUT TO ME IN MY DREAMS…. … … MEEP BOP BORP.”

Haha, I wasn’t far off when I joked in the intro about supernatural jum-

Look, I know I just reminded you, but I’m going to do it again: I swear to you I did not make that screengrab. That is a real video. I did not write those affirmations – that is word for word what the robots wrote, and what humanity’s greatest traitor reads aloud. 

I haven’t told you this, I haven’t told anybody this, but I have this recurring dream where me and Richard Dean Anderson are hanging out together, trying to wrestle back control of our unstoppably jumping superpowered legs. 

It can’t know this. 

I watched too many of these videos. This was never meant to happen.

The algorithm. It crawled me.

PODCASTING DAY

Podcasting Day: The Comedy Inside Baseball Trap With Soren Bowie 🌭

Technically, today is a Podcasting Day. Technically, we have an amazing guest for you: Soren Bowie — the Ace with the Face, the Chin for the Win, the Man So Nice His Name is a Knife. That doesn’t rhyme but it does knife. Three-time voted Handsomest Soren on After Hours, former Cracked editor and columnist, current writer for American Dad and co-host of the excellent Quick Question podcast with his longtime comedy partner and friend, Daniel O’Brien.

It’s a big get! We’re so excited to have him!

But we don’t have a podcast for you today. What we have instead is a challenge: Can you listen to all of this? You won’t win anything. Not even our respect. And still we ask: Can you make it to the end, coward? 

This is a bad podcast! And we did it sort of on purpose, and we’re kind of in love with how it turned out. Now we dare you to even try it.

It is several hours of three former Cracked writers talking inside baseball about writing internet comedy, and it takes the form of us bringing our own articles to read, and then at the last minute… Seanbaby insists we switch parts. We read comedy not meant to be read aloud, not written for our voice, that we did not not prepare for and may not fully understand! For several hours! If you’ve got a spare laptop to burn down, you can visit our former employer and try to read Sean’s article here, Soren’s here, and you can play Brockway’s game right here

You can actually hear us learn to hate as it goes on. Listen to the joy leave our voices as each of us falls into the trap we laid for ourselves. Brockway has chronic tendonitis in his jaw – this podcast actually physically defeats him toward the end. But we keep going.

This might be art — we might have done our first art!

You technically can follow us wherever you get podcasts, and it is possible for you to leave us a nice review here.

Technically. Possible.

If we haven’t burned all of your goodwill already, there’s new merch in the store! Tell people what you think of reading (it’s fucking crazy) with this shirt about stuff that’s fucking crazy (reading!)
