We review our best (and worst) ideas of the first year of the podcast and try to figure out if any of them have a future--either on the show or off. Obviously we're very into our ideas for Chaonica and Pokemon Legacy and will be building off of them in future episodes...but what about our other ideas? Who knows?!…

Coronavirus is here to stay for a while and we've decided to make the best of it by inventing a sport that is inherently safe for the times we live in. We may not be the most sporty of spices, but we cooked up a pretty spicy sport here. Between recording and releasing this episode, we actually almost went out to play it. Almost.…

So...Jake has a big ol' tree in his backyard and he claims he's going to build a treehouse in it, despite not knowing how to build stuff. So we turn to our old friend Minecraft to help us plan it out and bring it to life. Houston doesn't help because he's sick and also doesn't play Minecraft like the cool kids. Also, we take a trip North to Shelley…

Editor's Note: We went through several difficult technical issues when trying to record this episode and the final product had some weird audio issue. We salvaged as much as we could, but the audio is still a bit messy. Editor's Note #2: I, Houston Bodily, solemly declare the wrong winner of this episode was selected and will continue to argue this…

Wait what's this!? Another homemade Quibi style remake of an untouchable classic film? That's right we giving the Homemade treatment recently given to Princess Bride and now turn it to the Bill Murray 1993 hit movie Groundhog's Day. Join as we discover how to over work Bill Murray and find out he has a 1-800 number as an agent.…

We're sell outs everyone. We just want to get rich with this podcast. So we decided to focus making the next hot App. Fortunately, if the Yot Club (TM TM TM) app doesn't work out, we basically found a new way to view "Malls" and maybe we can trick people into thinking it was our own idea.

This is part 2 of the Pokemon Legacy Bonus Series. The gang fends off a group of Grookeys, adds a new beat to their group, and finds the Team Rocket knock offs of Swatu. The first sign of trouble from the Conquista comes at the expense of finding a destroyed fire temple with yet more mysteries to resolve.…

This is the next chapter in building the world of the The Practicians (Practioners? It's very unclear). Join us as we move on to the next step of this universe and design the Magic System. Although it's not required to listen, it may be insightful to listen to Ep. 15A - The Practicians and Ep. 15B The Prakticians (Character Design).…

In a move that SEO experts call "the opposite of optimization", we decided to do an episode about made-up words. Bryan has had this made-up phrase in his head since he was little and he's never known why or what it could possibly mean, so we trawl the internet looking for meaning and eventually settle on an extremely boring, practical solution. But…

This episode is so dumb and the timing of releasing this type of dumb content is terrible because there are much more important conversations happening, but we felt like maybe people may need a break and need to listen to some silliness. But we hope you also consider learning about and donating to these organizations that could use your help right …

The Perfect Brainstorm Crew dream up the perfect island headquarters. Then Houston carries out a heist and steals the episode.

And so we begin our side project of creating and playing a Pokemon 5e variation RPG based off the world we created in the 2nd episode of Perfect Brainstorm. Our heroes gather together to determine a plan necessary to fend off the invading Alien Race, the Quista. The Professor and his Golett travel back in time to bring the party together so that th…

This is a relaunch of a previous set up episode for our Pokemon Legacy RPG Campaign. We figured it would be worth relaunching in case anyone needed a refresher. After trying and failing to turn our ideas for a Pokemon region into a video game, we decide to play D&D with some Pokemon rules so we can tell our story without having to know how to make …

Have you ever heard of a Dulcimer before? If you have, you're probably a nerd. However, you don't have to be one in order to enjoy the fun music and entertainment of this episode. Houston got a Dulcimer for his birthday and wants to compile a list of songs that can be turned into a sweet Dulcimer Cover Album. This album has everything from Country …

Are you dying of boredom during the quarantine of Covid-19? We are here to help. This episode provides 13 useful ways to negate boredom.... or more realistically, see how crazy we have already become.

WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH MISSING PODCAST EPISODES?! Okay, so it’s been a few weeks since we’ve released an episode. Can we just blame Covid-19 and move on? On this episode, we bring on stand-up comedy veteran Matt Hamblin to help Bryan write a set to try out at an open mic night. After Bryan takes a vulnerable look at a previous romantic relationship, …

Happy New Year, everyone! Including Houston because he doesn’t know about this episode! When Houston went to Germany and forgot to send us some of his audio files, we decided to record an episode about us making a lo-fi chillhop song. We discovered on the Jack Johnson episode that Houston doesn’t like it, so we figured it was a good chance for us t…

Remember that one kid at recess who was too busy reading fantasy books to do anything else? It's going to be really hard to believe Bryan wasn't that kid after listening to this episode. (I swear I wasn't! I'm not even that into fantasy!)

In honor of Thanksgiving, the ultimate made-up holiday, we decided to make up our own holiday. It's time we finally made some social impact so we're introducing St. Vitus Week. A week about raising awareness for mental health and dancing non-stop . . . possibly until you die.

So we set out to expand our listener demographic by specifically appealing to a fandom to which we do not belong. About half of the episode is us trying to figure out which fandom we can fake our way through. The second half is us creating a surprisingly good name generator that any animatronic animal would be proud of...hopefully. If you're readin…

Have you ever wanted to see a DC Universe themed reality show? Well you are in luck with this episode. We put our creative minds to the test as we draft a pitch that we submit to the DC You Pitch contest in hopes of winning a little glory and the chance to produce our own show. We post-poned our Batman Board Game episode since this was related to a…

Disney is about to debut its new streaming platform and we're beating them to the punch. This week we develop the inevitable family-friendly sitcom set in the Star Wars universe. It's got lore, it's got humor, it's got Sam Rockwell operating a boom mic for a duck on the planet of Naboo. Enjoy.

While Jake is sick, Ludo superfans Bryan and Joseph drag Houston along for the ride as they cast and plan a movie based on a song by the St. Louis rock legends. This one, honestly...got away from us a bit. I have no idea what's going on by the end of the episode. But it's a great movie starring Penn Badgley, Tom Holland, and Julian Dennison...and s…

Houston has always dreamed of playing an RPG where he gets to be a classic monster like Frankenstein or a Mummy. We enlisted the help of Andrew J. Young (@ThatOneGM) to give us some pointers on how to make a microRPG…and then we took his advice and probably messed it all up and ended up with “Aaahh!!! Real Neighborhoods” It’s really dumb, but we ha…

In this episode, we workshop the single greatest kid's television program that solves every problem facing today's youth and prepares the world for a brighter tomorrow.

We’ve talked a big game and now it’s time for us to actually do something about it. This is our record-breaking episode. It doesn’t break any records itself but just wait until you hear what record we’re actually going to break in real life. Also, did you know Ariana Grande has a Pokemon tattoo?

Are you ready for some Football?!?! Don't worry whether you love America's Greatest Past Time or like to make fun of it, we've got something for you. Join us as Nintendo, Star Wars, and Pokemon collide to create an Actual "Fantasy" Football team.

Well, this week we had a spot of bad luck and are working through some technical difficulties on our Actual Fantasy Football episode we promised. In its place, we're throwing back to when Bryan and Jake were first toying with the idea of a podcast where we explore cool and ridiculous ideas. In this episode, we attempt to reinvent the plain old offi…

Have you noticed a gaping void in your life? Do you often boot up your PC or console only to stare blankly at the glittering pixels as a deep sense of hopelessness settles into the deepest confines of your soul? Yeah, us too. And we realized it's because there are no good Harry Potter videogames. In this episode we took it upon ourselves to talk th…

Join us as we not only create a supergroup to perform at Area 51 like we originally planned, but also create a bunch of specifically-defined supergroups, and also talk a lot about Tom DeLonge from Blink 182 for non-musical reasons!

Hey, you know how you really want to play laser tag right now? How did I know? Because everyone wants to play laser tag; it's a phenomonal sport!

We dive into our love of laser tag, why it's so great, and how we can popularize to m…

Catch 'em all in our first (and, let's be honest, probably not last) Pokemon-themed creativity challenge! After some disagreements and compromises, we come up with what we think is the perfect Pokemon generation. And it's pretty weird.

It's the first episode of the brand new revamped podcast, Perfect Brainstorm!

Men in Black gets the redemption treatment as we cast the most unlikely duo to suit up travel out to Jupiter to save the day. Also can we just recommend every…

We are officially onboard the Pixar Hype Train. After they listened to our advice of not making Toy Story 4 a bad movie, we decided to reward them with giving them a brand new story idea to add to their pantheon of movies. With a little help from a movie title generating AI, we explore the myth of counting sheep to fall asleep, and give Billy Cryst…

We stumbled our way through potentially making such titles as Singin' with the Sharks, The Silence of the Sharks, and A Clockwork Dopey to give you what may deserve to be considered the most exploratory Toy Story ever made. Just when you thought the mysteries of the Toy Story universe couldn't get more complex, we decided to throw you right into th…

This might be Houston's least favorite episode title of all time. Disney just released Mega Budget Movie 78 and we want to celebrate. Disney is getting ready to launch its streaming service and we wanted to kick it off by making up a TV series with intro movie for one of the new properties that Disney acquired from Fox. Just ignore that we spent th…

Well folks, we tried to redeem a movie that had the potential for greatness and ultimately fell short, and hopefully ACTUALLY Redeem the Silverscreen; Instead we gave up and talked about what every other movie podcast is currently doing, and tried to give our own thoughts on the Disney purchase of Fox. Granted, our way of talking about it is making…
