Shoemaker's best stories

There have been less of them recently but I was always a big fan of Brad's stories, usually about whatever horrifying thing he'd seen on the internet that week and/or Dota.

What are some of the best?

One that he told was when he walked into a bar where Ryan was and Ryan got up and smacked him so hard in the face Brad's glasses flew across the room. The first podcast they did after Ryan passed has lots of great stories.

My favourite of the bunch.

This is so dark and I love it.

Barkerville:

DOTA hole:

I'm trying to look for the US library of Congress book made of human skin, but no luck so far.

@gaff: Is this what you're looking for?

Brad doesn't tell many stories, you can tell by looking at what's been posted so far. Brad is there for his laugh, he has a great laugh, 3rd behind Ryan and Vinny.

@onlykris: Yup, that's the one! Thanks!

"Brad geocaches death" to quote Patrick on the Neti Pot discussion.

I would say that Brad has the weirdest and darkest non-sequiturs on the Bombcast. I would also link that Volgarr section, but damn... *shudder*

I'll go there because I remember watching this live and absolutely losing it when I heard it.

Brad Shoemaker will always be great in my eyes simply because of the Peegy coverage he gave us during his extra life stream.

The infested router story was hilarious/horrific

I miss when he would relate frightening things he saw on the internet to the rest of the crew :(

@ripelivejam: bahaha yes

Brad's fig-wasp story was terrifying and really interesting. Brad's the best.

@onlykris: That's so Brad.

The best Brad stories are when he talks about bugs that live in your face. He hasn't done that in a while.

"But now I'm clean, I'm writing the best reviews of my life"

One of my favorite Brad stories is hearing him describe an episode of Hoarders where people had shit (literal feces) piled up everywhere, and when the show crew went to the house, a cat ran out of the house and immediately died.

@onekillwonder_: I remember that one, have a podcast or know of a YouTube clip of it?

@onekillwonder_: @nightriff:

I really need to take a step back and wonder why I know where to find this stuff...
