Podcasting Day: The Great Dipshit Check-in, with Jason Pargin! šŸŒ­

What a fantastic year 2021 was! We spent the whole year head down in Hot Dog magic ā€“ fighting dicks and fleeing Beezbos, catching murderers and watching cowboys get CTE.** Itā€™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 Dogā€¦

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

Well, thereā€™s a good new rule: Never check on anything. 

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

1900šŸŒ­ā€™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 yearā€™s biggest Hot Dog finds. So we did that! Thatā€™s what this podcast is!

This is your absolute last chance to subscribe in 2021, and if you donā€™t get busy right now youā€™ll never be able to say you reviewed the Dogg Zzone 9000 this year. 

ā€¦

*Fun Fact: The ā€˜Cā€™ stands for CONK! 

**Less Fun Fact: The ā€˜Tā€™ and ā€˜Eā€™ still stand for traumatic encephelopathy.

Podcasting Day: The Ultimate Zombie Thing, with David Bell! šŸŒ­

When three pop culture luminaries such as us and Gamefully Unemployed‘s David Bell get together, three things are going to happen: someone is going to mention zombies, someone is going to have opinions on zombies, and then everyone is going to accidentally write the ultimate zombie movie or ongoing series (TBD). Well, that’s exactly what happened here!

Please subscribe and leave a (fucking sweet) review! And join our Patreon to hear the bonus podcast where David and Sean play a powerful round of Brockway’s Brainfuck Your Way to Godhood.

Podcasting Day: How to Pick Up Girls at a Con, with Teresa Lee! šŸŒ­

Please give a rewarmed Hot Dog welcome to comedian, filmmaker, and former professional online hookup broker, Teresa Lee! Sheā€™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. Itā€™s actually a pretty good system ā€“ if she flees, thatā€™s totally understandable. But if she stays, weā€™re automatic best friends because itā€™s like going through war together.

This time weā€™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 donā€™t have the pickup part, or the artist part. Itā€™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.

Weā€™re probably not getting a new best friend out of this one.

By default, Amazonā€™s ā€œSample This Bookā€ 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.

Thereā€™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! šŸŒ­

Youā€™re in for a treat, fans of comedy and high adventure! This week weā€™re joined by Ali Fisher and Carly Monardo from Rude Tales of Magic and Oh These, Those Stars of Space. Youā€™re in for a savage disappointment, fans of logic and coherence! Weā€™re playing Marvel Questprobeā€™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 starringā€¦ 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 Adamsā€™ 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 whoā€™d almost certainly been poisoned by the dangerous metals inside early home computers. Here are all the images youā€™ll need to decipher the visual code he uses to beg for death.

Donā€™t forget to dig us a hole (thatā€™s mercury poisoning for subscribe) and then ants attack eyes (cadmium poisoning for review).

Podcasting Day: Expository Theme Songs II: The Revenge of Expository Theme Songs šŸŒ­

It’s Wednesday, a day for hot dogs to use their voices, not their keyboards. But this Wednesday, they also use… their hearts. Their fucking restless ones.

Zak Koonce, our dear friend and theme song performer from Auralnauts, returns for a passionate battle of pop culture where he, Brockway, and Seanbaby bring three songs from movies about the movies they’re in and let them clash.

Max your hype here or wherever you max your hype!

Of course, no competition would have meaning without rules. Competitors must have restless hearts, are disqualified on lonely nights, and the penalty for not knowing these are lyrics from the Running Man song is execution by Game Zone.

Also, by order of Game Zone, we also have some new regulations. Expository theme songs are now judged by the following three turgid criteria:

1. WRONG UNIVERSE:

If you stepped into another universe and performed this song, what would those people do? Lose their minds? Kill you? Declare you Music President? A low score would be anything less than all of the above.

2. WRONG MOVIE:

You finished your song right before the studio came in with big notes. The film now has an unrecognizably new plot, theme, and genre. How fucked is your song?

3. WRONG PERFORMER:

Your song is given to Paula Abdul, Weird Al, and Van Halen who are all told to produce and perform it. What have you done? What have you done.

Okay, you’re ready! Go listen! Like and review! Stop reading now if you want to be surprised by our picks! Keep reading if you want links to the music videos!

All-foot beefnotes:

Zak’s Songs: Weird Science , The Last Dragon , Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol

Brockway’s Songs: Fight to Survive, Deepest Bluest , Are You Ready for Freddy?

Seanbaby’s Songs: On Our Own , Human Tornado, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart, Restless Heart
