24 January 2026, 7:03 pm - Ep. 347. Skateboard Champion: Week 6 Grind Until You Stop
This week, Matt gets an ending he hates until he sprinkles on the sarcasm, Chris takes it straight to THE man, and a new podcast feature has been permanently unlocked!
https://archive.org/download/347-final/347%20final.mp3Also, Matt challenges Chris to a round of the Character from this Book or One of NASCAR’s Top 50 Race Car Drivers Quiz, Chris reveals a Wild Card that adds a new twist to the podcast in the form of Power Ups (thanks, Glitchparticle!), and WEE-OO WEE-OO CRIME CAR.
Let’s talk Power Ups! When we finish a book, the winner currently receives a Get-Out-of-Sad-Pizza-Party-Free card as a reward. Thanks to a killer new Wild Card, there will now be 4 more possible Power Ups! The winner will randomly generate a number 1-5, and that will determine the power up for the next episode.
Below are the options we came up with in the episode. Feel free to jump in the discord and throw out some more ideas!
Power Ups!
- 1 is set = Get-Out-of-Sad-Pizza-Party-Free card
- More options!
- A trophy we pass back and forth
- The loser can only do live reads of the next book
- The loser must do the Wild Cards for the next book
- Naptime! The winner gets to sit back and relax for a single episode. The loser must do the segment, quiz, wild card and both reads
- Book Override! The winner can choose to ignore any poll or standing decision about which book will be read next, and pick whatever they want to read
- The winner is taken out to dinner by the loser
- The winner gets to play video games through a single episode recording
- The loser must sing a jangle about the winner at the end of each episode
