    About this Episode

    Episode 184 - BFYTW Gets Political

    Game 1 - The Cost is Correct Our players will take turns bidding on political memorabilia, trying to get as close to either the actual listed price or the winning bid in a previous auction without going over, whoever's closest wins the listing for their team, and the team who wins the most listings wins the game and earns one episode point.

    Game 2 - Tinfoil Hat It seems a waste to invite podcasters who are well versed in conspiracies and scandals and NOT play a game about conspiracies and scandals, so welcome to Tinfoil Hat! I'm giving our players three seemingly unconnected things, and here they are: The toilet paper shortage in 2020 Bratz dolls South Korean former President Park Geun-hye's bizarre corruption scandal All our players have to do is spin me a conspiracy theory linking the three, and the player who spins the CRAZIEST conspiracy theory WITHOUT losing me will win the game and earn two episode points for their team.

    Game 3 - 4 Out of 5 Dentists I'm going to ask five survey questions, such as 'what percentage of Americans believe in ghosts', and one team will guess the exact percentage out of 100. Their opponents will then decide whether they think the correct answer is higher or lower, if they're correct, they win the survey, otherwise the original guessers win it. Then teams will swap roles and we'll move onto the next survey. And of course, this episode's surveys are all about politics. First team to win three surveys wins the game and earns three episode points.

    Episode 207 - Game Shows with the Gateleapers

    As a huge fan of Gateleapers, I want to showcase what an episode of Gateleapers is like for our listeners, so we're going to play three games that are very similar to Gateleapers games, because what's more American than taking British ideas and making them worse? I hope the end result is much like a shorter, quicker episode of Gateleapers with the added benefit of giving Matt a taste of his own medicine.

    Game 1 - The Big Board

    This is a trivia game with a board of 12 questions segmented into tiers of difficulty, there are four $1,000-Tier questions, these are the easiest and worth 1 point each.
    There are four $32,000-Tier questions, these are medium difficulty and 2 points each.
    And finally, four Million-Dollar-Tier questions, these are hard difficulty and 3 points each.

    Teams will take turns choosing and answering questions until we've done all twelve.

    Game 2 - Play Your Cards Right

    This is a trivia/intuition game. The team in 2nd place will choose from one of two categories, and we'll start by asking them to bid on the first item. If they're within a certain range, they'll earn a point. Every item after that, they'll need to say whether the value is higher or lower than the previous item, and they'll earn a point for each correct guess, and a bonus point if they can get the value exactly right. The game ends after both teams have tackled a list of seven items.

    Game 3 - Quickfire Round

    This is a trivia game where the clues will come fast and furious, and players will have to buzz in by shouting their team name. (The internet lag for the Gateleapers should be offset by how stoned Stevie and Augie are) There's a point for each correct answer, and the team with the most points when the buzzer sounds is our winner.

    Game 2 - Being Aaroned

    I've got pairs of facts, and all you have to do is tell me which of the two is true - except, it's possible that both are true, in which case, you're being Aaroned. For each correct guess, you'll earn a point, but if you successfully guess that you're being Aaroned, you'll earn two points. Most points at the end of the game wins and earns two episode points.

    Game 3 - Make it Worse

    I've got five things, and I'll tell our players to make these things worse, one increment at a time, and players must escalate the worsening and avoid repetition or iteration every time to stay in the game. First player to fail loses that item to their opponent, first player to three items wins and gets three points.

    Video Version EPISODE 205 - Spicy and Crunchy

    Game 1 - Broken Headlines

    I'll give our players three headlines with the important words redacted, they'll fill in the blanks themselves, and can earn a point by getting close enough to the right headline OR by making me laugh. Unlike other episodes, these points are full episode points.

    Game 2 - Being Stevie'd

    Stevie will take over hosting and I'll take Stevie's place as contestant as he tries to fake us out. Are the items he's listing real? Or are you being Stevied? Again, points contribute to your total score.

    Game 3 - Make It Worse

    Aaron resumes hosting and will make our players take an object, person, or idea and make it worse. There are three rules. First, worsenings must escalate - your worsening must be worse than the worsening before yours. If I judge your worsening isn't worse than the one before you, you're eliminated. Second, no iterations - your worsening must be a different KIND of worsening than all those done to that point, for example, if Stevie makes Orgasms worse by saying instead of sperm, you ejaculate dust, if Augie then says instead of sperm, you ejaculate spikes, Augie is eliminated for iterating on Stevie's worsening. Third and finally, every successful worsening adds a point to the total value of the item being worsened - after two players have been eliminated, the surviving player gets all points accumulated for that item.

    After five items, whichever player has accrued the most points over the course of the show wins the episode.

    This week the boys are back in the BFYTW studio playing a couple of our favorite games, plus a fresh new one.

    Game 2 - Make It Worse
    NEW GAME!

    Our players will be given an absolutely beloved thing, and they'll have to make it worse by adding a circumstance or changing something about it, and they'll go back and forth, but here's the catch in the form of two rules: they must constantly escalate how much worse the thing becomes with every worsening, and you cannot iterate on a former worsening (for example, if the item were Piers Morgan, and one player were to say "he actually becomes popular", neither player could later say "he becomes twice as popular as before").

    If I ever judge that you didn't make it MORE worse than the player before you, that player wins a point, and we'll move on to the next item. Best of 7, first player to win four items wins the game and gets two episode points.

    Show #202 Covid Strikes Again, That Absolute Tit
    This week the studio was hit by Covid. Luckily, the boys were able to record remotely and play some games.



    1. Game 1 - Broken Headlines

      I'll give you three headlines with blanks in them, if you can make me laugh or if you correctly guess what the blanks should be, you'll get a point - most points after all three headlines wins and earns one episode point.

      Game 2 - The Cost is Correct

      I'll give you five items, all you have to do is bid the closest to the actual listed price without going over to win it - players can overbid each other or freeze their bid until I announce "final bids", at which point players may bid one more time or freeze. I will not announce 1 more bid if both players have gone over, but may announce after 1 player has gone over. First player to win three listings wins the game and earns two episode points.

      Game 3 - The Dumpster Fire


      I'll give you five categories, and each player has to tell me something irritating about something within that category, and I'll pick the one that irritates ME the most and throw it in the dumpster fire. First player to have three of their choices thrown in the fire wins the game and earns three episode points.

    For our 200th Episode Special Celebration, We've brought on a bunch of guests that have contributed throughout our history to play some fun games.

    With Special Episode announcer Crunchie from Crunchie Streams directing Aaron as he hosts three interactive games.

    First up is Russ and Lauren from The infectious Groove Youtube and Beer'd Al Podcast from the OddPods Media Network. The two Pull the reels to gain points and possible cash for their charity in "The Tokers Wild". The Players need to spin to reveal their trivia question, but watch out for the "Smaugie"

    Our second game is "Take Your Chances" with contestents Kyla, Andy, and Karen from Defiant Monkey Improv. The three will take turns answering questions to earn chances to play on the Toker's Wild game board. Collect as much money and prizes while trying to amount more than your opponents. But be warned, Stevie's are around and will take your stash.

    We end our 200th epsiode with a classic charity game favorite, "The List". The Rumpus Leapers consisting of CJ (DJ Xanthus from Radio Airwaves) Jabbo and Nashon (Proper Rumpus), and fellow panelshow podcast hosts, Matt and Audra from The Gateleapers (No Jason, what a surprise). Our team must all work together to complete each list to gain money for their chosen charity. Then all remaining contestants get to go to the bonus round to bring home that cash.

    Thank you to everyone who has helped our little podcast throughout these past (Over200) episodes. We truly have fun playing games with all of you and hope that you all stick around for another 200.

    Show #199 Mini Ep #2
    1. This week we are joined by Russ and Lauren of OddPods fame, and Infectious Groove Youtube and Beer'd Al Podcast to play some mini games.




      Game 1 - Broken Headlines

      I'm going to give you five music-themed headlines, all of which have had their salient points blanked out - but here's the catch, I don't want the real answers, you'll get nothing if you give me the correct word or phrase that belongs in the blanks - I want you to improve them, by coming up with something that makes the headline funny.

      If I laugh at your headline, you get a point, funniest headline gets a bonus point. Most points after all three headlines wins the game for their team. (For an extra bonus, I usually save the headlines until the show so you have to improvise. For science, I'm going to try giving you the headlines ahead of time - here they are:)

      HERE'S WHY FANS THINK ARIANA GRANDE'S NEW SONG OR ALBUM IS TITLED "__"

      LUDACRIS DROPS __ AFTER KATT WILLIAMS' __ CLAIM

      HARRY STYLES' __ IS SLIGHTLY LONGER NOW AND FANS ARE __

      TAYLOR SWIFT FAN'S __ REVEALED AFTER RIO DE JANEIRO __

      SNOOP DOGG TO __ ON __ FOR NBC PRIMETIME SHOW: SAYS "I WILL BE BRINGING THAT __"

      Game 2 - The Rules of the Game

      Our players will be playing a game they do not know the rules to. At any point, a player may shout their own name to buzz in and guess what they think the rules of the game are - if they are correct, they immediately win the game for their team. If they are wrong, they get to keep playing but may no longer guess.
      If nobody guesses correctly by the end of the game, the single player with the most points wins the game for their team, if there's still a tie, players will take turns guessing until someone figures it out.

    Game 2 - Pitch Me Baby One More Time


    This month is the 25th anniversary of the founding of Rockstar Games, which is primarily known for the creation and development of the Grand Theft Auto games, and their studios have developed other original series like Red Dead, Manhunt, Bully, The Warriors, Smuggler's Run, and Midnight Club, but with the announcement of Grand Theft Auto 6, it's clear they're going back to their cash cow. It's beyond time for a new IP.


    So, I want you to pitch me Rockstar Games' next original open-world game. I want to know who you play as, what open-world you'll play in, and describe the general plot of the game. If you have some gameplay ideas, throw those in as well. Obviously you're going to want to avoid repeating ideas, so an open-world game set in the Wild West will not earn you any points. Best pitch wins.


    Game 3 - Stevie's Rules of the Game

    Stevie has come up with his own Rules of the Game, so Augie and I will play without any idea of what we're playing. Stevie will tell us whether we can win by guessing the rules or not.
