vacation
sleep
cook
work

Roll d10 #2:

every time a child laughs
at the witching hour
while screaming

Roll d10 #3:

for my mental health
for a shot at the big time
for bragging rights
for the honor of my ancestors
for the children
for charity
for pocket change
for my fans
for the love of the game

Roll d10 #4:

no matter what my family says
even if my body breaks and my mind shatters
whether or not Santa likes it
only if it gets me likes on x.com
providing my imaginary friend agrees to keep their mouth shut about you-know-what
finally proving that the 2020 US presidential election was stolen!
despite my debilitating fear of success
even if it means angering Crom upon his mountaintop
only if it requires agreeing to an extremely restrictive nondisclosure agreement
but I won’t do “that”

4. Mmm fleece

5. National Park dress uniform – buttoned up and all business

6. Don’t matter how hot it is. Leather tip to toe

Tragic backstory that led you to become a Monster Ranger!

1. Had a pet monster but it was taken away when you were a kid because it was getting huge and looked so hungry. You hope to find it again someday.

2. Bigfoot stole your bike and shoved you down a hill

3. Swallowed by a sea serpent and stuck slowly moving through it for three days. Resucers made the monster swallow capri suns and lunchables in the packaging so you had something to eat. Eventually a diarrhetic was administered and everyone almost died from throwing up.

4. Best friend was a werewolf but they told everyone who your 7th grade crush was even though you were like do NOT tell anyone

5. Parents absolutely ripped to pieces by a chupacabra

6. You were a monster but got cured

Preferred Rangering companion!

1. Someone you could have a little crush on, just for fun

2. Borgfoot (cyborg bigfoot)

3. Straight up wizard but like the kind that casts spells that make a cloud of crows or candles that sing or the trees get up and dance around. Not like fireballs or whatever.

4. Talking segway

5. Hundreds of spiders all over you that only you can understand

6. Sentient sleeping bag (can not talk)

The only monster you are afraid of is!

1. The Greedy Creeper

2. Warplings

3. The Empty Statue

4. Thorncrackle

5. The False Man

6. Coffinfoot

Ep. 300. Creeptobscare ’24: Trapped in the Circus of Fear

And here’s a real review from IMDB about Chasing the Devil, that scary movie Chris is in:

“The characters are flat, completely forgettable and basically interchangeable. The only one who makes even a slight impact is the typical ‘chubby comic relief’ guy, whose ‘jokes’ are loud sarcastic comments about things we just saw…”

Finish It Podcast — Tue, 27 Oct 2020 11:30:00 -0100

Creeptobscare comes to a creepy conclusion with the return of Finish It!’s traditional Halloween read! This year, Chris holds hands with monsters and runs home, and Matt hides from monsters in a box which goes badly.

Also, Chris challenges Matt to user-generated round of Interactive Fiction or Modern Board Game (thanks again, David!), Matt rolls the dice with some Benadryl, the Ad Boys spend no joke 13 minutes trying their hand at candy corn rehabilitation (sorry we really got into it), and lots of creeps moan the vowel “E” (which is tricky).

This week, Matt finds the hands-down-best ending to a book he’s ever read, Chris winds up in the middle of a very goofy mud fight, a drink is invented in honor of Creeptobscare, and there are now some scary lyrics to the Finish It! theme song!

Ep. 124. Watch Out for Room 13

Finish It Podcast — Tue, 22 Sep 2020 12:30:00 +0000

Celebrate back-to-school times with the guys as they take what they thought would be a light-hearted, spoopy break from underwater adventure, only to find that this book is a straight-up Stephen King nightmare factory.

That’s right! It’s a whole new book to celebrate the unholy convergence of kids going back to school and the spookiest time of the year. Why a whole new book, you ask? What happened to Zombie Penpal from last year? Well, if Zombie Penpal wanted to be read once a year by brothers doing an interactive fiction podcast looking for school-related adventures, then Zombie Penpal should have had a little more actual going-to-school in it. No shade to Zombie Penpal, but it’s no Watch Out for Room 13. Enjoy!

Also, Matt challenges Chris to another spoooooooky round of Which Interactive Fiction Book Am I?, Chris drops a hot rant in new mini-segment What’s the Deal Huh?, Matt picks an official #SquidName, #DolphinName becomes a thing, Chris learns everyone good with Great Ocean Explorers of History, and boy oh boy are the bros punchy in this one.

Finish It Podcast — Tue, 08 Sep 2020 12:30:00 +0000

Are you interested in hearing TWO brothers get FOUR endings in TWO reads in ONE week? If so, you are a very niche audience (hearts hearts hearts), and this episode will please you exceedingly.

Also, Matt challenges Chris to a round of Which Cobra Kai Character are you (seriously check out this great show, now on Netflix, and listen to Chris podcast a whole TOTALLY REAL movie with one of the Cobra Kai writers on In Theaters Never!), someone gets real surprised by an intensely Donovan jam, many many many holes are explored, and NO JOKE your boys knock out four endings in two reads.

Finish It Podcast — Tue, 25 Aug 2020 17:38:47 +0000

This week, both brothers die quickly and badly. But which brother dies least badly, thereby securing a winning read and taking one tiny step closer to earning themselves a get-out-of-sad-pizza-party-free card? Who cares! Underwater adventure awaits!

Also, the guys hand out some very special thanks to a fellow Taskmaster fan, Chris challenges Matt to discover which Octonaut he is, Matt uses a tentacle as a garnish (no joke, photo and recipe below – enjoy!), the brothers bury themselves in the ancient mystery that is the bluntnose sixgill, and the aforementioned tentacle gets sassy and slappy!

A new adventure begins! Join the Yule brothers as they dive deep into the briny blue in search of Atlantis! With 42 endings it’s essentially impossible that they’d get the same read right out of the gate, right? RIGHT?!

(in which he totally deepsnakes his brother’s idea from last week), the guys get deep on details since this MIGHT BE THE LAST WEEK OF THIS BOOK, and also the guys get VERY SCARED because they have no idea what they’re doing.

Pull out your laid-back vibes because this week the brothers are doing something a little different. It’s Bro Chat! Your questions answered! Segments! Jangles! Somehow longer than a normal episode!

Thanks everyone for sending us so many great questions! We forgot to mention it at the start of the show, but the bulk of this week’s episode is us answering those. But we still jammed in some segments – some Self Care Corner, a Top 5, we Art some Books, and a brand new one, too. Forget about the stress of reading interactive fiction, we’re just doing a hang-around!

Finish It Podcast — Tue, 21 May 2019 12:30:38 +0000

This week, Matt makes some forever friends and Chris takes the law into his own hands – but you’ll never guess which law!

Also, the Finish It! Fan Appreciation Sweeps is still in effect for ONE MORE DAY (info in the podcast and at the bottom of this post, if you need it), Matt tries his hand at a listener-suggested round of Interactive Fiction or Episode of Scooby Doo (thanks @ladypalindrome!), the world is treated to a brand new cocktail (recipe below), and somebody’s punchy!

https://archive.org/download/057Final/057%20final.mp3

Red Creek Ranch Water
A simple drink for a summertime state of mind. Perfect for when you’ve spent your summer lost in a cave that transports you through time, or fighting badmen in the wicky wild wild west.

2 parts tequila
1 part cranberry juice
The juice of half a lime
Pour the above into a glass just totally full of ice
Fill up with seltzer water (use Topo Chico mineral water for max authenticity)
Give that cutie a stir, garnish with lime slice
Since it’s a “Ranch Water” cocktail, feel free to keep your Topo Chico with you to top your drink off as you swill. It’s classy and cool, and so are you.

Red Creek Ranch Water (Non-alcoholic)
This is just plain yummy. Drink always to keep your kidneys fresh and clean.

Get glass of ice!
Buncha cran juice!
Buncha sody water! (Or topo chico!)
Splash that lime juice!
MMMMMMMMMM

Are you ready for an adventure that you could not possibly be ready for? Of course you’re not! And neither was Matt! But then The Great Easter Bunny Adventure happened anyway! YES IT IS ANOTHER HOLIDAY DIGRESSION!

Yup, brother Chris has chosen to startle brother Matt on WEEK TWO of a brand new cowboy book with a crazy “Easter Bunny”-based tale that.. well, actually it was so insane it was pretty great. BUT DON’T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT! Listen to the madness yourself, and be comforted in the knowledge that the guys hope you all had a lovely weekend full of candy and soft brown shapes, whether you do the Easter thing or not!

Cowboys return next week! And don’t worry, you’ll get a little wild west in this ep in the form of Matt’s new weekly segment Deadwood Fun Facts! Ok ok, go listen, it’s fun. And remember to ALL HAIL THE GODBUNNY

Ep. 49. Space Vampire: Week Twelve Prepare for Blackout with Howard Walfish!

Finish It Podcast — Tue, 26 Mar 2019 11:00:50 -0100

This week is all about Sad Pizza Party storytellin’ and hangin’ with honorary Yule boy, HOWARD. And Chris gets pain medication injected in his butt!

Also, YHDYSOFAS is reunited and they inflict their “music” on your ears, Chris gets nude for randos, Matt dresses like a dracula for his sad pizza adventure (thanks a lot, @AnastasiaElena), Howard MAKES ALL HIS OWN CHOICES WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM ANYONE, the guys learn that sometimes pizza parties find YOU, Choose-It-Or-Lose-Its are invented, Chris and Howard are challenged to an ultimately very easy round of Interactive Fiction or Episode of Pokemon, and terrible things happen in the night!

https://archive.org/download/049FinalFIX/049%20finalFIX.mp3

You may have noticed that SAD PIZZA PARTYs took over so dumb Matt forgot about #MitCoT which is ridiculous! There is no acceptable apology, so all I (Matt) will say is Meanwhile in the Cave of Time roars back April 2 whether or not that is a thing that you want!

EP. 48. Space Vampire: Week Eleven Too Warm and Too Pink

Finish It Podcast — Tue, 19 Mar 2019 11:00:03 -0100

This week, Chris scales the cliffs of the tigers, Matt gets court-martialed, and it’s time to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day (late) the introvert way (alone)!

Also, Matt creates a deeply foul concoction for a sparkly new segment of Choose Your Own Beverage (recipes below), Chris challenges his brother to a game of Interactive Fiction or Episode of Father Ted, Matt goes off on Graham Linehan’s recent twitter nonsense in response in a way that no one asked him to do but like c’mon man, the brothers try to call Canopian physical appearance, K-1 stands for karate, and the guys make quiz.

https://archive.org/download/48Final_201903/48%20Final.mp3

You Can’t Kill Me I’m Part Irish
A terrible mistake! Perfect for the kind of person who was all like “I don’t really want to go out on St. Patrick’s Day” but then on St. Patrick’s Day was all like “Oh man now I really do want to go out on St. Patrick’s Day” and then was kind of a weenie about it, like Matt always is.

Get punch bowl
Pour in 6 bottles of Guinness Draught Stout
Pour in a 750ml bottle of Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey
Drop in 6 bags of Irish Breakfast tea, allow to steep for 5-10 minutes
Add a hefty splash of blackcurrant juice, or cordial if you have that
(Blackcurrant juice too sour? Mix a heaping spoonful of honey in hot, hot water until it melts and dump it in to sweeten things up)
(Optional) Squeeze a lime in there why not
Drink or Toss Out

You Can’t Kill Me I’m Part Irish (non-alcoholic)
Unlike the original recipe, this recipe is drinkable.

Blackcurrant juice
Soda water
Squeeze that lime
CLASSY AND DELIGHTFUL

Finish It Podcast — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 11:00:18 -0100

This week, Matt calls his read! But forgets about doing it live! But it’s still exciting! But will Chris steal his thunder? You’ve heard this show before so of course he will!

SAD PIZZA PARTYs are coming soon, and we have ideas about what horrible things we’re going to do to ourselves, but there’s still time to send us ideas for punishments! Tweet us at @FinishItPod or comment wherever if you have mean and hilarious thoughts. Also, this baby went long so sorry no #MitCoT this week. Next week for sure!

Also, Matt is challenged to a round of Interactive Fiction or CYOA You Made Up (as suggested by @UnabashedlyErin – thanks, Erin!) which they might have already done, the guys might have gone too far with having fewer segments, there is Terror in Australia, and no joke Matt does a spit take for real by accident.

This week, Chris and Matt find themselves on a direct course for the Planet of the Vampires. Will they live to tell the tale? More importantly, will they be able to avoid getting the same exact read this time or are they forever mindmelded and now this podcast is all over?!

Fields (he was born on this day 1/29/1880 so celebrate already!), Matt gets a little carried away on the subject of there being too many darn segments, Dr. Vivaldi disapproves, Serena Fine may not be who we thought, and all that’s left to eat is DRIED BLOOD!

Finish It Podcast — Tue, 11 Dec 2018 07:00:36 -0100

This week, the boys are sick again, Matt buys the guys some questionable legal cover, Chris tidies up a forgotten twig, and – with two endings left – this could be the final episode! Maybe!

Also, Chris tries to stump Matt with a listener-suggested game of Interactive Fiction or Episode of the Original My Little Pony Series from 1987 (thx @chex926!), Matt straight up finds the Jenny page and that is useful no matter what anyone says, Marie is awfully late to the game, the brothers make some Animal Crossing jokes for nobody, and man oh man cold medicine is no joke be careful out there.

Finish It Podcast — Tue, 02 Oct 2018 12:01:58 +0000

We finished it! And you guys picked the next book! (WHO KILLED HARLOWE THROMBEY?) A lesser podcast would, like, take a break or something while they wait for the new book to be delivered but NOT US. Join us as we take one last, longing look at the accursed Cave of Time!

Plus, the guys answer bunches of listener questions (they missed a couple, sorry, they’ll hit you up on the twitter!), Chris rates the most infuriating Unanswered Questions we’re left pondering now that The Cave of Time has been conquered, the brothers toast each other over a listener-question-inspired round of Choose Your Own Beverage, the thrilling subject of the next book is teased in titillating detail, and Matt commits himself to a weekly serialized thing that could make everyone hate him forever!

A NOTE FROM THE BROTHERS YULE (as though there’s someone else writing these posts): Next week we begin a whole new adventure, and we hope you join us! Did Chris pick a great story? Did the people who voted for HarThromb make a terrible decision? Let’s find out together! And remember, don’t skip this PO-MO* if you don’t want that FOMO!

And his adventure is PURE BRILLIANCE! We’ll let you know as soon as we’re able to add this massive, 40-page love/hate letter to Cave of Time so you guys can play it, too. STAY TUNED.

Also, Chris stares down the barrel of a listener-suggested round of Interactive Fiction or Episode of Macgyver (thank you JAMES!), Matt is deeply affected by the shocking addition of MOMFX, you enter the water feet-first and hit bottom but the soft mud receives you gently, and did we mention a nice man is going to brew us a beer for real and we played a FUN choose-your-own to determine it?

Also, the guys pay tribute to Edward Packard (while they still have it in them), the entire concept of Interactive Fiction Or is abandoned in favor of Literal Translations of Pokemon Names, Yules run hot, sad pizza parties are recounted, and we’re deadly serious about Matt messing up. You will be furious. And we are so sorry.

I bet you thought Matt gave up on finding Lincoln, didn’t you? DIDN’T YOU?! Well, he didn’t! Also, Chris takes one for the team as he bears down and faces the one decision no uncle should ever ask of his nephew.

But that’s not all! The guys play Interactive Fiction or Thing Matt Discovered in No Man’s Sky, math in Scotland is advanced a thousand years, Benjamin Franklin turns out to be a vampire, and Chris rings in the inaugural installment of Choose Your Own Beverage with a clotty garbage cocktail that nearly makes him brose all over himself.

Lastly, as a great man once said:

Joe joins the guys to take an adventure of his own. That’s right! Having a guest means Chris and Matt get to be lazy!
