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, Idaho for that classic segment, Stories From Shelley where we learn about his dad's weird taco-related hobby. If you end up liking this episode, we'...
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 point until Bryan and Jake are exhausted from the debate, give up, and let one of my character ideas be the winner. Help me wear them down by voicing...
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 Bryan is finally at peace.
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 now. We considered making a donation as a podcast, but collectively, as a podcast, we have negative money. But we’ve made individual donations and hop...
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 they may prevent the dictatorial reign of the Quista. Unfortunately, our party doesn't seem to take him completely serious yet. Terrance, a native Drago...
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 a video game. In this episode, we set the stage for the game, further flesh out the Swatu region from episode 2, and introduce our characters we'l...
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 Roads by John Denver to When You Were Young by the Killers. Sit back and enjoy as we weave a narrative thread selecting the quintessial songs to trans...
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, we then discover that Houston wasn’t the person we thought he was this whole time. For Bryan's infamous mixtape in playlist form: https://open.spotify...
Well, just when you thought we couldn't have more Pokemon ideas, we did. We make our own personality test that tries to provide some resemblence of merit while making it exciting and fun. We start creating a personality test that allows you to pick your spirit Pokemon or create your own. All that is important though is that Tom Delong is the Sensu Style Oricorio.
In a fit of late-night insanity, we attempt to create a sequel to an eternal video game. Did you know it just passed Tetris as the highest-selling video game of all time? We didn't. We really lost control of things on this episode, to be honest. Just be aware of that. And, um, yeah. I'm not sure we ever solidified our ideas into an actual game, but we had some great recommendations for the good folks of Mojang and Microsoft to maybe take their game up a notch.
Jake was missing in action this week so Bryan and Houston decided to make an impromptu D&D character creation episode based off characters they would like to see in their "Prakticians" novel (see episode 15). Due to technical difficulties this episode is coming out late, but we will still have our Minecraft 2 episode coming out tomorrow.
In a surprising turn of events, Houston hijacks Bryan’s Super Bowl-themed episode to talk about football. Jake and Bryan learn more than they ever wanted to know about the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49-ers in preparation for the big game this Sunday. But in the process, we come up with a really exciting lineup for all of the networks who don’t have the luck to be broadcasting the Super Bowl…including Twitch, I guess? Also some great content for non-football fans to enjoy this Sun...
Move aside JJ Johnson, the Perfect Brainstorm Podcast is here to save the Star Wars Universe! Follow along as Jake, Bryan and Houston each individually pitch their own takes on Episodes VII-IX and try to connect them to each other without forfeiting any ideas they originally wrote down. If the title doesn't already give it away, this is probably not the best version of Star Wars you've ever heard....
Special guest Kekoa Riggin from Left on Read podcast gives us fascinating expert advice for developing our very own constructed language. Then we argue about an obscure 90's Jazz-pop icon for 40 minutes.
Welcome to the New Year! We are excited about all that is in store for 2020! We have a big announcement during the podcast that will shape this episode. Don't worry though, if you were really in the mood for a '60s nostalgia fueled Batman anti-terrorist game, then we really have a great episode for you!
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 to try it out. Also, you should go add this podcast episode to all of your chill-hop playlists on Spotify.
Happy Holidays everyone! Wherever or whatever you celebrate we hope you are in good cheer as the year closes out. Please indulge us as we do our Holiday Special episode that is very Christmas centric. We believe one of two things: this episode could appeal to everyone or it could appeal to no one. We take the Polar Express right off the rails and pitch a musical (we are still unsure if it's a movie or broadway play or both) that is a sequel to Beverly Hills Cop 3 (not sure if that even is a real...
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 reading this, go to our Instagram or website and check out the name generator and share it with all of your FNAF buddies!
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 time crunch.
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.
