Episode 93 - Premise

Episode 93 - Premise

2023-10-31
Download

Andrew joins Ben this week for a spork-tacular show (in cover art only); and here is your Halloween surprise… a no candy, prank-less, normally dressed, scare-free episode… that is the PREMISE!  After voicing his focused excitement about a forthcoming child and how it has impacted his short term view of his job, Andrew tries Hot Honey flavored Pringles.  Ben talks about the many games he has been playing as of late, but also drops a few hints about the Pringles roadmap he has devised for Andrew.  Then the hosts move on to the word at hand. Ben has lots of questions about Andrew’s comedy writing process before the conversation shifts to ridiculous video game premises, followed by Ben's gameplay experiences with Squanch Games’ “High on Life.”  Other tangential digressions visited include: “Kung Fury,” favorite Canadian comedy troupe “Kids in the Hall” skits, 80s and 90s contemporary authors, the creative process, “Rick and Morty” drama,  Nicolas Cage movies, and much more!  Oh yes… and Happy Birthday to our biggest fan NORAH!

 

00:00:21 - Heavy on the trivia, heavy on the video games, and a sprinkle of Pringles dust.
00:01:28 - No more vacated bowling alley Targets in Portland, too art deco, and ready to bowl
00:04:26 - Baby excitement, appropriate levels of detachment, and paternity leave priorities  
00:06:49 - Find a baby, paid leave irony, making it difficult for the employer, and labor unions
00:09:18 - More robust and fleshed out, salmon country, and the Oregonian food handlers card  
00:13:35 - “Baywatch Nights,” “Monster Hunter Now,” and “Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart”
00:15:12 - It’s oaky to pay for DLC if Idris Elba stars in it, and Pringles Hot Honey high jinks
00:21:12 - Andrew has one at home, an underwhelming experience, and a Madonna lyrics
00:22:55 - The definition(s), Andrew gets too vague, and an unintentional syllogism callback 
00:24:49 - An assortment of ethically sourced (?) definitions, regime, regimen, and not… THAT
00:28:02 - David Hasselhoff vehicles, a “Kung Fury” love fest, and describing the premise
00:32:13 - Rotating your owl, bad premises, if you will, and going down to Premise Beach!
00:34:32 - Lorne Michaels impressions, guy has meat hand, and favorite KITH sketches 
00:39:46 - Eating tacos made out of coelacanth, and Andrew’s process for writing his novel
00:42:17 - Authors developing emotional connections or relationships with their characters
00:45:06 - Trends in 80s contemporary fiction, and Andrew’s Michael Crichton movie theory 
00:50:26 - “Stranger Than Fiction,” down the Nicholas Coppola rabbit hole, and all roads lead
00:54:20 -  Ridiculous game premises according to Cracked: Mario, Megaman, and Tetris 
00:56:31 -  Ben’s opinions about a “thoroughly mediocre” game called “High on Life” 
00:59:58 - Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, too much lowbrow humor, and alien bodily fluids
01:02:48 - Looking back on being in middle-school; where does teen humor originate from? 
01:04:59 - No knife DLC for Ben, final words, and a book title for Andrew’s eventual legal thriller
