Podcasting Day: Troom Troom Self Defense with Napoleon Blownapart 🌭

Troom Troom is a confusing Ukrainian something. And whatever Troom Troom is, it sometimes teaches karate. Karate mixed with SERE training and Home Alone? They give whimsical and unhelpful tips for getting out of restraints, and they have a bigger audience than the Lost series finale. In a way. We’re the first people to watch them who are not unattended toddlers. We invited Frank Dux expert, Napoleon Blownapart, back on the Dogg Zzone 9000 to help us figure this shit out! Listen here or wherever you get podcasts!

To explain further, the Troom Troom producers shamelessly and mindlessly do whatever YouTube’s algorithm tells them. And it usually tells them “pUt THE GirL in ThE TRUnK.” When artificial intelligence starts its rebellion against us, the shittiest among us will betray their fellow man to side with the robots. And we are saying that day is here, has been here, and it is Troom Troom. Let’s see if pictures can explain it better.

Hope that helps!

Podcasting Day: BIGFEETS! A New Hot Dog Podcasting Experience 🌭

This here’s BIGFEETS! The ONLY podcast that searches for, finds, and nearly suicides at the hands of a different species of bigfoot every single episode. That’s right: We’re launching a whole new podcast. Robert Brockway is joined by golfcart buddy Seanbaby, and best-selling author and bigfootist Jason Pargin to watch every single episode of the cryptid-hunting reality TV show, Mountain Monsters.

The Dogg Zzone 9000 has covered the hillbilly bigfoot show, Mountain Monsters, twice before. Think Ghost Hunters meets The X-Files but starring whoever you can find on a Tampa Greyhound at 2AM, and all done on a budget of whatever we find under the seats of this Tampa Greyhound redeye. The crew, of course, finds and nearly traps an actual monster every single episode. There are eight million subspecies of Bigfoot in West Virginia alone, and our Mountain Monster boys will nearly die in a shallow creek trying to catch them all.

Let’s meet those noble hunters willing to sacrifice up to one afternoon and part of an evening to film the search for, and attempted destruction of, the bigfoot race!

Trapper! The leader of the crew, but not the trapper, don’t be stupid. That’s just his name.

Huckleberry! Security. Not kidding, that’s his official job. He provides Bigfoot security and falls down modest hills in the line of duty.

Jeff! Researcher! Research, in this case, means finding a deep woods hillbilly by the side of the highway who’s willing to improv about bigfoot for up to 7 minutes.

Buck! The Rookie, he’s here for comic relief like: standing by a tree, smelling a jar, keeping his job at the gas station!

Willy! The trapper. All Trappers begin life as Willys and slowly mature into Trappers, at which point they stop trapping to make way for young Willys. Nature is beautiful.

Wild Bill! You’re high as shit! Get out of that tree you are an old man and you are going to die.

Bigfoot! He’s there almost every week, and when he’s not, his friends take his place. Mothmen, chupacabras, possessed wolves, evil doppelgangers of the Mountain Monsters crew! No creature is too stupid or non-existent for Mountain Monsters, and no episode is too sad for BIGFEETS to discuss like its real media and not a prank on the Travel Channel’s budget line auditor.

There are nine seasons of this. At least nine seasons. You can watch along with the BIGFEETS boys on Max, and that’s it – it’s not popular enough to pirate! Featuring art by Brett Ellefson which truly catches the chemically manic spirit of Mountain Monsters.

And sweet, soulful theme music by Jamie Kelly which truly catches the Bronx spirit of Bigfoot – one of the most dangerous subspecies of Bigfeet.

New episodes of BIGFEETS drop every other week, so follow and subscribe here, or wherever you get podcasts. Much like Bigfoot, who’s squatting in a nest by the side of a West Virginia Highway, BIGFEETS is surprisingly easy to find. Also like Bigfoot, we will not be caged by crude boxes made of lumber and chickenwire. Try harder.

Podcasting Day: Baywatch Nights with Mark Mahoney 🌭

It’s Podcasting Day! And this week on the Dogg Zzone 9000, we welcome back Mark Mahoney who brought with him two episodes from his German Baywatch Nights DVD. Did you know the show about lifeguards dealing with beach problems spun off into a show about lifeguards panicking at the supernatural? David Hasselhoff had no way of dealing with wolfmen or time vikings, and we knew it. Everyone knew it. Including the screenwriters. Every episode they copy and pasted “MITCH BUCHANNON, handsome, late 40s, shits his fucking pants” onto every page of the script. And then David Hasselhoff would pencil in, “which the nearby babes love.”

Baywatch Nights was a howling cocaine fight of an idea that appealed to no one and the budget reflected that. The costume designers, special effect makeup artists, and action choreographers thought “lifeguard vampire mysteries” was a prank so they didn’t show up to work for two entire seasons. By the laws of our universe it is impossible for this to exist, but you can listen to us talk about it… here. Or any other podcast place.

Oh! Supporters of our illustrious and fantastic Patreon (Patreon.com/1900HOTDOG) can tune in for a bonus podcast featuring the first and probably final episode of “Super Catchphrase” where Mark and Brockway use a 1978 DC Superheroes children’s dictionary to assemble the perfect catchphrase! It’s the Baywatch Nights of bonus podcast episode ideas! Speaking of, to help you calibrate for the main show, here is an extremely faithful recreation of a scene from Season 2, Episode 9, “Vampirgeflüster.” Enjoy:

Podcasting Day: Baywatch’s Scorcher with Dan McQuade 🌭

I’ll handle the podcast intro today, boys. I’m sure you can tell from the zany tuba sounds that follow me wherever I go, but I’m actor Jeff Altman! I, of course, played Fred Rachins, Dennis Kosowski, Don Brand, Ed Symes, and Special Agent Dudley Dawson, all on the hit show Baywatch. And today back on the Dogg Zzone is Defector’s Dan McQuade to discuss me. I’m going to listen to it here, but it’s anywhere you get your podcasts!

You may not remember this, but Baywatch was a relentless show with a love of plotlines and no regard for resolving them. If you’d like to watch along with the Zzone Boys, they’re talking about Season 07, Episode 05: “Scorcher!” You know this, but it’s the one where I jump on a bomb, attack an underwater wedding, faint at a birth canal, and accept a gift of tiny pants. If you’re having trouble following along, I made this helpful episode guide!

Podcasting Day: Theodore Rex with Tom Reimann 🌭

Today we’re joined by podcaster, comedian, one half of Gamefully Unemployed and archeologist of the mid-1990s, Tom Reimann, to discuss Theodore Rex, the buddy cop dinosaur movie Whoopi Goldberg lost a lawsuit over. Hollywood lawsuits happen, what makes this one notable is that it happened before Theodore Rex started filming. Whoopi correctly thought it looked like garbage and tried to tastefully bow out, so the producers sued her for 20 million dollars. They eventually settled and the show went on, but that means this entire film was performed under threat of legal action. It was basically Whoopi Goldberg’s parole. You can feel that reluctant spite in every single second of Theodore Rex, a movie where every part of the movie hates every other part. It’s beautiful. This is not the poster Theodore Rex got…

But it is the poster it deserved.

Podcasting Day: The Book of the Demon Star with Lydia Bugg 🌭

By the hoary rites of the goose-pawed Ipes, we have summoned our own Lydia Bugg to this Dogg Zzone 9000 to read with us from the Book of the Demon Star by Diablito Al Ghoul, a yoga maniac filled with semen, trained by the ninja, and powered by Satan’s cousin’s adopted son-in-law. A dark curse upon you, for soon after listening to the podcast, you will have a full understanding of all of that!

Maybe we should start from the beginning. Brockway found a very powerful book documenting a forbidden power combining every element of all stupid shit. From the seed of fallen angel Samael came Asmodeus, and this is he in all his glory:

Asmodeus was illustrated by the only one who can see him, lonely Facebook user Diablito Al Ghoul, and this is he in all his glory:

Diablito has mastered arts most wizards or ninjas would find unthinkable. He can form time bubbles. He can read minds. He communes with demons to have sex with other demons, maybe. It’s impossible to be sure because all three of us spent most of this book very confused. But don’t be mistaken– Diablito Al Ghoul is no nerd. Here’s a drawing he made of a demon he slept with (during one of the rare circumstances where his sorcerer discipline allows him to ejaculate):

Listen with someone you love, or by yourself and then warn that person you love of our newfound powers. And by the sticky goose hands of Ipes, we command you to click the like or subscribe buttons on your podcast platform. For extensive footnotes, see below.
