Title: EC1: Christmas In July
Post by: STOG on July 30, 2016, 12:01:29 am
This is like an episode of The F Plus, but with fans!

How this all started:

I asked if people were interested in participating in a project. The project was to replace audio for one of the grossest F Plus episodes of all time (#221: Specialty Wankers (https://thefpl.us/episode/221)). The plan didn't go through (Djeser's masterful editing saved the day in the end), but people were interested in participating nonetheless. People wanted this. People wanted to participate in the act of reading gross shit from the Internet, like a David Cronenberg movie, but with much less stakes and visual oddities. So we all threw random ingredients into a pot, let it cook, and then we made each other taste it. The good news is, no one died!

So I helped Amelia Blank put this together. She did most of the work, I told people how to record. I also edited the episode. Basically I kicked the back of Ms. Blank's seat while she drove.

Thanks STOG, Ms. Blank, and everyone else who made this amazing episode!
I couldn't make it to the recording unfortunately, but I was 'lucky' enough to provide the content for "Making Your Alpha Male Life", and hearing it read by the fine people in this episode made me laugh my guts off despite knowing the content already - so kudos!

I'd be remiss though if I didn't share my favorite part of the doc that never made it to air: It's titled "Alpha Males can’t marry" and it's a really long and dumb manifesto (and that's after I edited out the info dumps) about how women control the justice system and will take away your children and your freedom by claiming you beat them just to take all your money or something, and it ends with this gem:

But in the situation of marriage your wife has the legal power of the divorce court and the police that isn’t a 357 magnum…that is a nuclear bomb!

Safety because someone choices to let you live isn’t safety!

The Swiss knew this. Switzerland has been neutral since 1815. However in 1942 The Swiss were watching Hitler with concern. If he invaded Switzerland, he could move his troops through Europe more effectively.

Did Switzerland just hope Hitler wouldn’t ever invade?

No, even though Switzerland is neutral they built a complex series of bunkers in the Alps (some were entire underground cities!) Two of the biggest forts were directly above 2 sets of train tracks that the Nazis had use of and needed desperately.

The Swiss made it very clear.

“One German soldier sets foot in Switzerland and we blow up the railroads and defend them to the last man!”

Hitler never invaded.

STOG, you messed up! You could have used FFS 'Collaborations Don't Work' as the opening music!

Also, fun podcast, this was fun!

The furry who just couldn't admit they're into dudes annoys me so much, it's not like being bi changes your tax bracket or anything, sexuality is flexible, you can be mostly into ladies and also a bit into dudes, there's nothing wrong with admitting that! As with whatever you call yourself? what the fuck does it matter anyways, one man's heterosexuality is different from an others'.

I absolutely loved the reading of the Garfield story at the end. I mean, the rest of the episode was really great, but the fanfic reading had me in stitches.

Everyone involved with this is wonderful.

This is a very good first episode. Also, if you are in need of a Genuine British Accent (mostly so I can get my comeuppance on you guys with a terrible american accent) then I can be of service, just as long as it isn't at a dumb time!

Genuinely good podcast, will continue to listen. As others have said, that Garfield reading was fantastic, and the doc was real good overall.

Great first episode, and I'm excited to see more.

There were a couple of moments where I felt like you were all about to springboard off from just riffing into flights of fantasy, like how MBMBAM can turn a simple question into 10+ minutes of rolling improv. Slightly different feel to regular F-Plus but still great.
