And now, for something completely different. 

Welcome to Pilot Light, where we show podcast pilots that we’ve come up with while doing OtaP and other things.  It’s something that’s off the beaten OtaP path, but don’t worry, regularly scheduled broadcasting will return shortly.

Tonight, tune into: “The Good, The Bad, and the Purely Hypothetical,” where our panel of mad geniuses will discuss strange hypothetical questions, use obscure science facts, and try to take over the world!  …or something along those lines.  Sit back, relax, and remember, it’s all purely hypothetical.

Highlights: Birds aren’t real {Hallucinogenic poop scheme},  How to Deal with the Moon {Ozone Holes, Destroying the Moon, Atlantis 2.0, Making Mermaids, Is Starbucks Real in this Universe?} Making Bugs a Popular Food Item {Bug Bartering, Time Machines}, The Immortal Snail {Enter the Immortal Lobster}

Ah, scenic Ghost Beach, a lovely locale devoid of the sun, but full of raccoon skeletons, aurora borealis, and people with the last name of Sadler.  And ghosts, can’t forget the ghosts.  That’s right, podcast heads, it's another episode of Ahhtap!

What discoveries lurk beneath the sand in the surf in ghost beach?  Quite a lot actually.  Like a surprising amount of connections to The Barking Ghost and a finely tuned Goosebumps tier list.  But that’s not all!  Listen in as Isaac discovers Steamed Hams, Thatcher discovers what an .avif file is, and Ian discovers he has a cool seal of approval.

Ahhtap!  Spook up your Podcast!

Highlights: The logistics of a beach cemetery, Ian’s Coolcheck, Horse Girl minus Horse, Ghosts and Dogs and Ghostdogs, Steamed Ghost Beach

Listener Bewock, y’all’re in for a shock!   In this week’s episode of Ahhtap, the spooky boys take a trip down to SHOCK STREET, a goosebumps episode with a disappointing lack of giant insects but an adequate amount of surprises, shocks, and practical effects.

But that’s not all!  Listen to great amusement park ride related talk words and references to Beakman’s World!  Also in this episode is a surprising bonus bit, where the boys try to figure out which strange old sci-fi movies are hot and which are The Tingler.  Tune in to hear about Thatcher’s DVD collection, Isaac’s exciting new censor noise, and Ian's never-ending supply of jingles.

Ahhtap!  Spook up your Podcast!

Highlights: Isaac VonIsaacstein, Geusebumps, Get Out and Push, Schwarzenegger on Shock Street, The Tingle of ‘87, Squash

What’s scarier than another episode of Ahh, that’s a podcast?  This frighteningly bad episode of Goosebumps!  We’re serious, The Barking Ghost is a real stinker, but the OtaP boys make some spooky lemonade, delivering you a wonderful episode full of laughs, scares, and rants!

Much is covered in this episode!  Amid our promises for odd ASMR performances and non-existent stretch goals, practice your Ahhs and Hahas as you listen to Ian’s myriads of rants, Isaac’s carefully crafted theories, and Thatcher’s very bad R.L. Stine impression.  And also ghost pirate dogs.  Because why the heck not.  Ahhtap!  Spook up your podcast!

Highlights:  The Facebook Matrix, Couple Costumes, Dogloose, Cornefolk Dogs, the wonderful pirate voices, Isaac’s very academic rant, More ASMR designed to give you goosebumps, Rorge Lucas Stine

We asked, you answered!  Then we looked at your answers and made the startling realization that there was an alarming number of ties, so we rolled a die.  Then we recorded a podcast episode.  Then we ate some shrimp and went to bed... then we did some other stuff, then we edited the episode, and now, you are listening to the episode.

All of this is to say:  Welcome to the 2024 Big Funny Awards!  Listen in awe as we recap the best bits of season two and make some preparations for season 3!  Tune in to hear from all your favorite characters!  Also in this episode: we take a look at the highs and lows of an eccentric movie star (Nicholas Cage), try and spot the fake awards, and take a look at contenders for the Game of a Year.

If “podcast award show” is a dish best served cold, then put on your Sunday best, ‘cause we’re having a feast!  It’s OtaP!
