Parkour Fundamentals: Landing and Rolling

YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/V2znbZAl8l0

Brian sat down to watch that Pennsylvanian documentary where that boss and some of his employees learned parkour. He thought that was really cool and all of the employees thought the boss was pretty cool because of it, so here we are learning parkour.

Huge thanks to Dmitri and Eric from Laché Movement Co, it takes a lot of skill to protect Brian and ...

How to Make Your Own Mead

I am so sorry, we asked Anthony to bring a multi-media presentation and he must have misread our invite as "a multi-mead presentation." We were very excited to share with you our very formal "prison life hacks" PowerPoint, but I guess it'll have to wait for now.

It's important to be properly prepared for your one-way trip to Bug Mars. That's where the "bug out bag" comes into play! Be sure to pack plenty of durians and a study guide for your Bug Mars citizenship test.

Brian and Jason Learn How to Ride a Horse

YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/swDiZ5EblnE 

We've got another MR excerpt for you this week! We're concluding mounted archery with part 2, and part of that is teaching Brian and Jason how to ride a horse.

This whole bit ran pretty long and honestly could have been an episode in itself, but I felt like including the whole process wouldn't benefit the actual episode much. So to keep the focus on how t...

How to Get the Most out of a Cigar

YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/zwd-dYzfb9U

What's a pirate's favorite tobacco product?

None of us are doctors, to be clear, so if you're concerned about health risks associated with smoking cigars, ask a medical professional and review credible studies and come to your own conclusions.

Cigar Logistics and Tour of Roma Craft Tobac

Back in November we shot 2 episodes about cigars, and while we were at it, we talked to Skip about what goes into operating the business and got a look at the digs. That's what this video is!

This week's episode is our second cigar ep, but we're giving you the tour early so that the tour can go public soon after the episode is published.

Signalling Arrows and Jarmakee

YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/PF8UkHzEq2c 

Wondering about the whistle arrow from our latest episode? Because a lot of our commenters were!

While recording pickups to insert as detail shots / slow motion, we went over signalling arrows, but it just didn't really make much sense to fit into the episode proper. There's just enough here though, that it can be broken off into a Modern Rogue Excerpt! View Post

Making a Blood and Sand

YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/SOdK9CpCU6g

Brian and Jason had to come to terms with the fact that they're old now, they were left pondering "How do we resonate with the youths?" Obviously this led to recruiting their resident 50 Cent expert, Trever, to review 50's seminal legacy: that 360/PS3 game.

The Future of Modern Rogue

Hey Rogues! Jason here. Such a portentous title for a post, right?  I'm sitting here planning out the next few months of the Modern Rogue and trying to determine what that looks like. 

And since you guys are paying for this, I thought I should ask you!

What kinds of episodes do you want to see? You can be as specific as you like. Is there a certain topic we should tackle? Or would you like to see more of one of the 'three pillars' - Gentleman, Scoundrel, or Warrior?

INT. DIMLY LIT ROOM -- NIGHT

We see Jason standing eager, faced towards a wall. Bundles of newspaper structure the room, stalagmites of old media. Looking closer we notice he's face to face with a poster which appears to be crudely taped to a full-body mirror. There's an uncomfortable silence.

CUT TO: over-the-shoulder, the poster is J. Jonah Jameson and ...

The Body Transfer Illusion

After years of abuse, we finally bought Brian a new hand. But for the assimilation to be complete, he must first disown his old hand one last time.

Sword and Buckler Fighting

We actually looked into getting a buckler just for everyday use so Brian could finally protect his hands, unfortunately Anthony and Bryant are all too familiar of Brian's reputation so they cornered the market in advance. Their one stipulation was to sit front row for another Brian and Jason duel, this time playing for keeps. (keeping the buckler, that is)
