So sad Hunter never mentioned that the ex convict worker Diego was in fact his elderly Mexican caretaker room mate.

But Diego doesn't speak Spanish. 😮

The Dark god thing almost derailed the whole thing for me, but what kind of saved it was the idea that the god didn't understand half the crazy stuff that was going on in the gas station, meaning that the god was just another weird anomaly and wasn't really an "overarching" villain of the whole thing.

[@deviantsemicolon618]

There's also more to the story after that. Like, three other books have been written, and more stuff is still coming out

[@_moonmoth]

@@jdsco37 yeah it is better if you think of the dark god as a red herring, because it’s not any of the crazy cosmic horrors that might still be out there, it’s just some weird mutated guy giving himself a cringe name

[@dragonqueen9452]

I liked it :(.

[@DG-ne5mj]

The god was still funny but the humor didn't fit in with the rest of the story.

[@nathanieldotter3717]

For me it's how hunter was doing the over the top voice that was derailing it, sometimes less is better, normally like Hunters voice acting but sometimes he does too much, which then makes the character campy and over the top. If You don't believe read back the dark gods line to yourself in a normal way and sees if it still comes across the way it's perceived by Hunter. Sometimes when he proceives something as campy he subconsciously makes it campy by doing a campy voice acting job imo.

[@ARicks-kj7rs]

Ikr the over complication of his character was funny

[@warbossgegguz679]

It's because he mentioned "Tyler Durdening" him into existence and they decided that would be cooler than if it was just a gag... which it isn't. Subversion has now become just as if not more cliche than just being straight forward, and the story was clearly making a joke about that but it went over Isaiah's head.

Add it to the "Hunter Hates Fun" evidence pool. I already figured that out when he gave up reading SCPs after realizing not all of them were scary, but Creep Cast has reenforced it tenfold. I never thought Meat Canyon of all people would come off as hating comedy-horror, but here we are.

I actually went and read through this because of the various recommendations on the subreddit and thoroughly enjoyed both, that and the second perspective from the husband's side.

@@maxTheTimeSlasher that's very true. If this was the ultimate conclusion of the story, which it kinda comes off as in this format since we don't know if they'll do more on creep cast, it'd be much worse.

We'll maybe if you just said something straightforward for once Mr. Bug God they might have stopped, like just ask tell Spencer to ask hin jackass.

No, this is the creepy pasta version of "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story". Increasingly unhinged and disjointed, yet still has an underlying plot... which also makes no sense.

[@davangreenwell2567]

I really liked the ending, it wasn't too marvel-esque to be cringe but I really like the trope of the "big bad" being a relatively normal guy. it might be played out, but I think it fits in this story, because most of the "evil" or weird stuff happening wasn't exactly malicious. Just weird... like how the dark god was. Him wanting to impress jack with the mohawk was also humanizing in a good way, in my opinion. Any other, more serious story, and it would have been bad. If in the left right game the god figure was like "yo, sorry lol, how you be? the arm thing sucks haha" then it'd really ruin the story. However, i think this fits for such a light-hearted story, and I really liked it. Love the content, y'all are great!

[@lolcowrancher]

yeah i think it fits in with the rest of the story in that it's just another weird thing around the gas station, i think what threw them off is it hyping itself up as something big and scary and then revealing itself to not be scary at all. i still really liked it though

[@kregy7509]

Not gonna lie. The entire story slowly started being cringe. The start is nice. But the gimmick gets old a little too quickly. Reminded me of "I am really not Demon God's Lackey".

My creepy Tale from the gas station that I worked at: I worked at a gas station in North Carolina for a few months, this 65+ woman came in like every day, super raspy voice, weathered skin, the kind of woman that you could tell spent the last 30 years in a bar. One day she came in, and you could tell she had a couple of drinks. She goes to pay for her things, and says "You want to know something crazy? You look exactly like my grandson." I just give a little courtesy smile, and bag up her purchase. About 4 hours later, she comes back after clearly many more drinks, and as I am ringing her items up, she says "Hey, what do you say to a roll in the hay?" I was trying to turn her down as politely as I could, but the only thing I could say was "I thought that you said I look exactly like your grandson." then she responds with "Yeah, you do. What time do you get off?" I just shudder, and lie "I have a girlfriend, sorry." to which she replies "Shame, you would never forget the things I would do to you." She was right in the end, I will never forget the trauma of that 15 second conversation.

[@Arealdruid]

@@fash6085 lol I worked there for about another month after that, and she came in every day still. She never mentioned it again, and neither did I. I think that gas station jobs especially night shifts are interesting, because gas stations, like in the story they are reading, are kind of an intersecting point, and the rigid structure of society loosens up a bit, so you see more people with unique lives and stories. I had conversations with all sorts of people while working there. Everyone from military and business, to pimps and dealers, and everything in between.

yes! there's so many cool ambiguous things like that in this story, and some fantastic moments of writing even outside of the great comedic pacing. stuff like the whole ambiguity of marlboro being a real person or a product of jack's eternally sleep-addled brain, and his seemingly increasing lack of reliability as a narrator as the story goes on. loved towards the end for example when spencer's corpse started talking to jack. it reminded me of disco elysium when you build your traits with Inland Empire as a focus, if you've ever played or seen that game played. if not, as a short explanation you play as an investigator and that specific trait in the game revolves around gut feelings and as you invest in that stat you begin experiencing things like dead bodies and inanimate objects talking to you, allowing you to basically "interview" them, even if they only talk in cryptic half-answers. point is, stories where the character you're experiencing everything through is so mentally unstable to the point of frequent hallucinations are always very cool to me.

It's funny how almost every culture has a creature similar to modern vampires (Jiangshi in China, Vjesci in poland, Upiór in Eastern slavkic countries, Draugr in Norse countries, etc.) but the modern Vampire/Vampyr that everything is compared to doesn't actually appear until Camilla and Dracula in the late 1800s.

I understand your guy's opinions about the ending (Though I personally like it.), but I do think it is important to remember that the actual books are a much more cleaned up and rearranged version of the story with more details than the blog entries. Those are more like reading the first or second draft. That isn't the ending of the first book or even the first season of the blog entries if I remember correctly. The ending of the first book has a much more climactic conclusion where it alludes to a bigger scheme at play involving Spencer and his new boss. Also, Jerry is real, Jack was just high off pain meds, pot, caffeine, and energy drinks, so he couldn't remember Jerry's real name lmao

I felt more bad for Isaiah in this one, it was like he was the only one having a very good time while Hunter was seemingly wanting to piece this together in a more focused and concise manner. Just a tonality differences between them when it comes to their narration styles, I guess, or more a difference in narration focus when it comes to reading these stories. Either way, I guess Hunter was just focused on other elements in the story, or it just wasn't his type of humor, which is fine and frankly understandable. Quirkiness and sardonic characters are the norm, and if the characters don't take the story seriously, then why should we? *SPOILERS* Especially toward the end, I realize our protagonist is Blasé af, but to be this blasé about an elder God, seems too goofy, and took all the buildup out of the story.

italian here, wanted to make a correction about what Wendi said about Strigoi: they're actually romanian and they're the precursors for what then became vampires in folklore. I believe he confused them with the Streghi (singular Strego), which are indeed italian and believed to roam in the countrysides of Tuscany and nearby regions. Their lore is pretty obscure, the most widely accepted theory being that they are the descendants of an ancient indo-european sciamanic tradition who gather in country fields at night to dance and do rituals. If you get lost and happen to stumble into one of their gatherings, one of them will offer you a torch to help you find the way home , but the next day the torch will turn into a severed leg or arm and the Strego who helped you will come at your door to retrieve it and bring you with him unless you find a black cat born in a moonless night and a grandfather clock key. Pretty peculiar dudes. Oh, and the Strega is also italian, pretty good liquor from Benevento :)

@CargodHera By the way, rabies is deadly 99.999999% of the time, even the corpses for the next five or ten years. You could dig up some bones someday and be unable to swallow water for the rest of your life. There's only been one person in history to survive rabies and it resulted in a treatment ominously called "The Milwaukee Protocol." A young girl was bitten by a rabid animal, and rather than just watching her die horribly over a period of days like usual, they induced a coma and hit her with such a devastating amount of antivirals that when she woke up, she had to learn to walk and talk again. Rabies is fucking brutal and there's no cure, period, and the only protocol has a greater than equal chance of killing you. So maybe fuck raccoons.

[@JFTSwiertz]

I think it's funny that the main character was absolutely tripping balls, and if the tree creature had mentally connected to him, the tree creature was probably also tripping.

[@8-bitsarda747]

you may call the handling of the "dark god" a derailment, or dropping the ball, or whatever, but I thought it fit the tone of the story perfectly. The whole story was full of people or events either not taking anything seriously (Mr. narrator man), or taking it way too seriously (Benjamin beard man). So the "dark god" just being some plant deity that wants to pressure the town council into cutting back on logging fits perfectly. It's also certainly helped by the fact that he didn't even know what was going on in the gas station, besides the hand plants and Kiefers. Adding on to this. I feel like a lot of your major complaints are based on the assumption that it's supposed to be a horror story. I caught on pretty quickly that it's a spoof of horror stories. I don't think this is supposed to be horror, I think it's basically going, "what if we took a horror setting, but made a protagonist that could not care less?" Basically, it's using horror tropes for comedic purposes. Hence the "dark god" being a nature deity that deals with low light levels, and the nonchalantness of killing the same dude over and over again. The whole thing is comedy based on subverted expectations. From Jake not giving two shits about Marlboro's cult pitch, all the way up through to the conversation with the "dark god" immediately being followed up by Benjamin blowing up the underground tree

[@meganmena7415]

@@shinigamiinochi That was a set up for the books. The dark god was never intended as a culmination to the story, which is why Jack later added the shapeshifter arc.

That last section spells out that the dark god isn't responsible for any of it, and he doesn't even know what's behind it.

I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Galaxy Gases in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the canisters and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each one and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Luke warm take: One of the best parts of the show is the first 10-20 minutes where Isaiah and Hunter just trash talk each other while making overtures to getting to the subject story.

[@greatclubsandwich5612]

You can find readings of these stories on other channels... But nowhere else can you find 2 grown men wishing death upon the epileptic and arguing why their fans are terrorists based solely on their like of a Jeff Goldbloom impression... I wish they went longer...

[@huntercovarrubias6312]

Agree to both of these. I love just listening to them talk, story or not

[@A-A-wRONg]

Honestly liked this one a lot. Nice change of pace. And also really like how you guys read a little bit and jump out to talk about stuff because I have a bad habit of zoning out, so you guys taking a break to talk about everything real quick helps me stay focused sometimes! Don’t change anything, love the podcast you guys are growing into.

I feel like I just watched someone read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and get really pissed off about 42 being the answer.

[@AarturoSc]

This whole story felt like the little I have seen or read about Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, which is weird considering it really doesn’t fit the mood of this podcast.

[@gngrblls2thwall]

@@AarturoSc I would say this is to CreepyPasta as HGTTG is to SciFi. So I guess it depends on if you think HGTTG would fit on a sci-fi podcast. I do tend to come to this podcast for the humor so I would've expected it to work, but 20/20 hindsight if the story's already funny there isn't much for them to add, or at least that's how Hunter seemed to feel.

[@StrangeNugz421]

BEST...STORY...EVER!!!!....creep cast presents tales from the gas station would be an amazing anthology. Hunter would for sure be the clerk.

[@EmpyreanRagnarok]

Okay, I can take or leave the dark god being a weenie and all that, but I did enjoy the part where the dark god was like "... What? No? I'm not responsible for those things. They're freaky."

[@nellancaster]

The whole conversation feels too Marvel-y, but that last part definitely saved it for me. On the other hand, I also find it difficult to figure out how you can insert comedy into a face-to-face, 1-on-1 conversation with a serious antagonistic force of the story without doing either the Marvel conversation thing or having Jack go wacky woohoo pizza mode.

[@Dontasticats]

@@nellancaster They could have had the tree tick be a red herring, and it could have revealed that the raccoons or gnomes or something were the main antagonist the whole time. He still could have been a cringy edgelord, but it wouldn't have deflated the entire story as immediately.

[@dylannoah8512]

​@@Dontasticats The Dark God is a red herring. This story is super long and there's a lot more to it than this.

[@No-xw7mo]

⁠​⁠@@DontasticatsIn the books there’s something else that ends the first arc after the Dark God and does exactly what you said.

This story was a really fun and quirky ride. The characters were also really enjoyable. Ill be buying all the volumes in paperback. Really fun and interesting set up. Reminds me of the book "Gils All Fright Diner." Thanks for showing me this series! Love you guys!!

My favorite part was when Hunter got completely naked and crawled through his monitor and recreate the ape scene from nope but with wendigoon

[@DiegoPierre-c3x]

I love how tales from the gas station is STILL going. They're still making more stories of it

As long as the gas keeps pumping and the hotdogs keep frying, they will keep going

This story genuinely reminds me of a gas station we stopped at in Alabama on our road trip from Tennessee to Texas - this was 2017 but I've honestly never forgotten it. There was a very sweet chihuahua on the counter who kept giving me kisses while we checked out and made small talk with the couple who seemed to both own and work the place. It felt both real and unreal, and none of the food looked even remotely familiar - but the drinks were all the usual ones, soda, energy drinks, etc.
