welcome to the comedy button, not recording on our own equipment yet so if it sounds really terrible and stuff

we'll blame it on crappy equipment. Bring it on Rebel FM. Yeah, I'm your host, Anthony Gaugers, with me is Ryan Scott. Hello. Scott Bromley. What's going on internet, Ryan O'Connor, and Max Gove. Hello. You don't have a catchphrase? I don't. I will give you one. Yeah, you'll have one soon. I'm handsome. So here we are. Yeah, we're here. We didn't come into this with any plan of what to talk about. Like usual. Yeah, your money went a long way.

Do you want to talk about that? What was going on? Like, I mean, it's got got laid off so no, here we are. No, I mean, that's what I mean the night, the night that we put up the Kickstarter. Oh, what was going on to our heads? Like, we, oh, I was like, maybe if we get like, like, 6,000, we explain like a little bit of history here for people who, sure, I don't know. You want to, you want to, I'm hoping not everybody here would. Okay, so what happened. Yeah, so what happened was we had a show called The Game Spidey Briefings and we all loved it and it went.

It went from the bottom of the barrel to number one without anyone noticing while still being very bottom of the barrel. Yeah, it was, it was totally bottom of the barrel. But it went. It was like this show. Yeah, low brow. And we wanted to continue doing it. And my layoff prevented that from happening. So I said, fuck it. Let's just keep on doing it. But not about gaming. Let's do about nerd shit, right?

It was basically what it was, which is basically what it turned into. I mean, every week tried to talk about games. I'd be like, hey, at games, you'd be like, no, I want to talk about Mark Summers, fucking Robin, I'm double there. What? That totally happened. Yeah, I know. So, so we decided to do that. We had a Kickstarter. A little pledge drive to get equipment. And we thought that we made the number really high because we're like, we want really good equipment. But it's going to be

very difficult to get it. And we were like, 6,000, are we going to be able to get $6,000? I don't know. We kind of thought we'd get like three or four. And then the rest, we'd have to chip in because the reason why it was so high is because we had to figure in shipping for all of the prizes that you have to give out with Kickstarter, right? And we put it up and totally underestimated our fans. We hit the mark inside at two hours. It was like an hour and 15 minutes.

We kept going. It was like the beginning of the social network, but with like fart jokes. Yeah, that's exactly what it was. And we were all like calling each other going, oh, fuck, what did we do? What did we do? Make it stop.

It's like all the office space. It was totally like office space. Like we only thought it was going to be pulling out a penny at a time and it turned out that it was pulling out $100 at a time.

But it was it was incredible. And we were all really nervous while it was going on.

It was terrifying. It was totally totally terrible. It wasn't an exciting time at all. It was really. It was really frightening.

Well, because I mean, we went from being a show that, you know, obviously had no budget had we were known for fuck ups and laptop crashes.

Hello, welcome to the comedy button. And things would break and you would listen to an episode and it would be backwards.

And it would just sound like a, like a satanic record or something like that. And kids would send us like just terrible penny

booze from all over the world. And I still want some of that. Yeah. Well, we saved some. So it was like never really a show with a budget.

It never felt like that. So now we're all wearing suits and Max took a a segue over here.

Yeah. Yeah. It was nice. It was actually made of like really nice butter. Yeah. Max is actually a Jim Sturgis from the movie 21 that we hired to come in here and podcast.

What's that? What's the new one? He's in one day. One day. I saw some I saw some fucking lady on the bus.

Like reading the, I mean, the book. It was based on, but it was the one that has the movie poster on the cut. Like on the cover. Did you walk by and say, I'm in that.

I like, I went, I like, I kind of in just close to her and I just went. I don't know. I'm in a bad hair day or something.

You should have done your home in a British accent. How do you do? How do you clear your throat?

And so yeah, so we did that and we made a almost $40,000 and did to the people that are wondering, all that shit is coming.

All that shit takes time. It takes time. Like our post and we're doing it staggered because that's why if you look on the on the Kickstarter page, it has an estimated delivery date.
