February 07Ep. 350. Struggle Down Under: Week Seven with Dani and Bill!
We haven’t seen Bill and Dani from Escape This Podcast, Solve This Murder and more in like a minute! Good thing they’re back! Will we finally finish this dang book? Or will the struggle grind on?
Also, the group checks in on their resolutions from last year (50% crushed, not bad), the Yule bros discover their likely Australian linguistic lineage, and let’s have a cheer for the Mechanized Scarecrows (Potato Gatherers): Moving Along the Sidefall of the Hill [Whose Spirit is Like a Wet Sack Flapping About the Knees of Time]!

NEW YEAR RESOLUTION TABLE 2026
I RESOLVE TO:
Roll d10 #1:
dance
email
exercise
journal
meditate
podcast
vacation
sleep
cook
work
Roll d10 #2:
non-stop
once a day
absolutely never
exactly one time
under hypnosis
in your face
trimonthly
every time a child laughs
at the witching hour
while screaming
Roll d10 #3:
for money
for my mental health
for a shot at the big time
for bragging rights
for the honor of my ancestors
for the children
for charity
for pocket change
for my fans
for the love of the game
Roll d10 #4:
no matter what my family says
even if my body breaks and my mind shatters
whether or not Santa likes it
only if it gets me likes on x.com
providing my imaginary friend agrees to keep their mouth shut about you-know-what
finally proving that the 2020 US presidential election was stolen!
despite my debilitating fear of success
even if it means angering Crom upon his mountaintop
only if it requires agreeing to an extremely restrictive nondisclosure agreement
but I won’t do “that”

January 17Ep. 347. Skateboard Champion: Week 6 Grind Until You Stop
This week, Matt gets an ending he hates until he sprinkles on the sarcasm, Chris takes it straight to THE man, and a new podcast feature has been permanently unlocked!
https://archive.org/download/347-final/347%20final.mp3
Also, Matt challenges Chris to a round of the Character from this Book or One of NASCAR’s Top 50 Race Car Drivers Quiz, Chris reveals a Wild Card that adds a new twist to the podcast in the form of Power Ups (thanks, Glitchparticle!), and WEE-OO WEE-OO CRIME CAR.
Let’s talk Power Ups! When we finish a book, the winner currently receives a Get-Out-of-Sad-Pizza-Party-Free card as a reward. Thanks to a killer new Wild Card, there will now be 4 more possible Power Ups! The winner will randomly generate a number 1-5, and that will determine the power up for the next episode.
Below are the options we came up with in the episode. Feel free to jump in the discord and throw out some more ideas!
Power Ups!
1 is set = Get-Out-of-Sad-Pizza-Party-Free card
More options!
A trophy we pass back and forth
The loser can only do live reads of the next book
The loser must do the Wild Cards for the next book
Naptime! The winner gets to sit back and relax for a single episode. The loser must do the segment, quiz, wild card and both reads
Book Override! The winner can choose to ignore any poll or standing decision about which book will be read next, and pick whatever they want to read
The winner is taken out to dinner by the loser
The winner gets to play video games through a single episode recording
The loser must sing a jangle about the winner at the end of each episode
