Voicemail Dump Truck Keep it Hot with Jeff and Ben and Vinny and Abby and Dan

Oh snap, it's up!

I didn't think they'd actually upload this since they got cut off by the fire alarm.

Fuck yeah quality content!

17 Hot minutes!

Hah wow, I had no idea it only lasted seventeen minutes.

I can't believe they cut content from the live podcast!

great ep

Ben, apes aren't monkeys.

Goombas are mushrooms! Stop spreading your false chestnut narrative, people! Dan doesn't think 3D World is a mainline Mario game. He can't be trusted!

Well, that sucked.

Here is the...rest of the show?

Accurate description

Accurate description

I can't believe they cut out first time caller Brynn from the UK!

So did they just not come back and resume recording after the fire alarm business?

Fire Alarm deserves a permanent slot on the show

Build it, beautiful.

So if you combine the information given from both of your links, then it's a chestnut mushroom?

The hottest of aftershows.

@quipido: Well that was interesting. Thank you.

I love that Jeff couldn't honor the fire alarm until shouting out Rygar.

I don't always get to tune in to this, but since there were so many guests I did - I'd have to say 100% worth it.

Bombcast ripoff.

...But, you stay so smooth.

I'd bet money that Ben wrote the description too.

Imagine if it went off during the Bombcast itself.

@flashflood_29: OH hi - 2 days later and not communicated... let's get wierd

HA- just saw the fire alarm -

The fire alarm and return to the office is documented in video form!

Ben is a dork, he's dOrKiE

Spittin facts. The appearance is based on shiitake mushroom, they look nothing like chestnuts. And if they were nuts, why would they squish when you stomp on them and not shatter into a million little pieces?

I always wait for the video version and it's no different this time! Can't wait!

So can anyone link the intro song?

That podcast was so hot the fire alarm went off

@thepickle: According to Super Mario Bros manual, page 10, Goomba is "A mushroom who betrayed Mushroom Kingdom". Manual link. It was mushroom then, it is now.

This podcast went real Smooth

I was worried about Jan during the fire evacuation.

So is Princess Peach really a mushroom-person? Is she the XCOM Thin Man of Mario games?

watching this live was one of the highlights of the year

@fearofthesky: cool, was searching for ages looking for this with no joy.

@quipido: Thanks for the post.

Also Rorie is in a broom closet playing WOW with his headphones on.

Test Drive Unlimited 1&2 will always have a place in my heart. I've spent countless hours over the years driving around O'ahu and Ibiza while listening to podcasts. Like the Bombcast, 1UpYours, GFW Radio, MBmBaM, Keith and the Girl etc.

I remember one of the most cost-effective ways I found of making money in 1 was doing a special race called the Millionaire's Challenge. You had one hour to circumnavigate O'ahu, something that's really doable in a high-end car and even allows several major fuckups (though those occasional losses were still extremely frustrating, knowing half an hour in that you're not going to make it). But getting that time down to around 48 minutes while listening to Jeff and Ryan discuss whatever energy drink they brought in for the latest episode of the Bombcast (or UpUpDownDown) is still something I remember fondly.

@paulunga: Assuming you mean Arrow Pointing Down since Xavier Woods was probably like 2 years old when Giant Bomb started.

@kanerobot: Yuuup. Totally had a brainfart. But it's probably a good thing they changed the name to bombcast. XD

Edit: Also, can't believe they didn't share any of the Cruis'n Blast music with us. That's what makes that trailer in the first place!

@zoneout: No problems. They get all their music via Audio Network as far as I know, so I just googled "rocking the crowd with the new old school audio network" and there it was!

Real five alarm podcast you got here

Why would someone start a fire when they know that the Giant Bomb post show is going on? Frustrating.

Does this have anything to do with the giant bang that was heard during the Bombcast? Everyone was like "Woah" and then just continued on.
