Let’s talk t-shirts.

Hello you beautiful bosses. Brian Brushwood here, tapping this out on my iPhone as I sit on the same cruise ship you saw in today’s episode.

I’ve got a quick question for the $30 per month fans (though I’m posting this to everyone so I can gauge interest): for those of you guys who are receiving the super-exclusive quarterly T-shirts, are you cool with those designs ever being available to the public?

We’re getting close to closing on this Modern Rogue World Headquarters pr...

We’re on TV!

No, I don’t mean that episode of “She’s the Sheriff” where Brian played the drifter-with-a-heart-of-gold.

And no, I’m not talking about Jason’s episode of Cops.

And no, not Jason’s OTHER episode of Cops.

This morning our card throwing episode was on Right This Minute, which is apparently kind of a big deal.

Throwing Cards Like a World Champion

YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/1BC4flpntpU

I'm afraid Brian and Jason got Rick Smith Jr. to be on the show under false pretenses. What they didn't tell him is that they have a business plan to Honey I Shrunk the Kids paying customers, gently balance them on a playing card with a custom built harness (gaffer's tape,) and hurl them towards the nearest micro-city. It's a bold step for environmental conservation ...

We're progressing through Desperate Defense Week with day 3 of 4 with our snackable episodes!

You find yourself in a small room, you are surrounded by incredibly life-like mannequins. You can hear one of them breathing, but you can't tell which one is real. All you have on you is a bobby pin in your hair. The breathing pauses for a beat, then the climax of O Fo...

Continuing our Desperate Defense Week with day 2 of 4 back-to-back quick episodes!

You find yourself in a red room, there is a life-sized velvet painting of a clown on the wall across from you. You find a box of matches in your own pocket. You do not remember how you got there. After a brief pause, Mambo No. 5 blares throughout the room and the clown from the p...

Desperate Defense: Hair Spray

YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/QgPbKrfd4TE

You find yourself in a barren room, a lone can of hair spray at your feet. You do not remember how you got there. After a brief pause, a klaxon blares throughout the room and an aggressor emerges from a shadow-engulfed corner of the room. Do you use the hair spray to defend yourself?

Episode Ideas?

Howdy, Rogues! I’m sitting here listening to organ music and steepling my fingers as I plan the next batch of episodes. I’ve got a month to prepare!

I’ve got books and emails and years of research in front of me. PLENTY of ideas for Modern Rogue.

But what do YOU want to see? If we can afford it and it won’t get us killed or arrested, we might film it this summer!

Forged in the dusk of the Cold War, the pants were imbued with a mystic mistrust. It is said these pants transform their bearer into a supernaturally deceptive creature, something beyond the sum of their parts. It is within these polyester confines that a man finds himself cruel and twisted, a puppet of the pantaloon. Evil Grandpants Murphy Esq. is but a victim...

Potato Cannon vs. Human Head

(Here's the full episode of the video we posted earlier today in case you missed the link)

YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/ME7U5XFzrZU 

Brian and Jason have been driving around Austin declaring themselves the Potato Pirates and they have the cannon to prove it. It's really gotten out of hand, they commandeer cars in the neighborhood yelling, "AVAST" while they throw potatoes out of the wind...

Extended Outtakes: Making Videos is Wicked Easy

Making a DIY Ballistics Gel Human Head

YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/h6qRA-aYQP0 

Bill tried to tell Jason that x-ray vision didn't really work the way that comic books had led him to believe, but he just couldn't live with the disappointment in Jason's face. So he set out to recreate every living person in ballistic gel, starting with Jason himself.

Thanks to Bill for making this even remotely possible.

Mr. Harvard Wallbanger Esq. III and Dr. Cosmappel Politan sailed the seven seas and landed in Austin, TX for just one noble reason: to get cosmically smashed and teach us their sloppy, slurry ways.

To make a Harvey Wallbanger, you'll need:
