This is now my new favorite podcast. Kudos, Mr. Brushwood.

[@JudithOpdebeeck]

why am i not surprised that Brian I-will-eat-food-that-expired-years-ago Brushwood first did the tongue trick with a real deers tongue?

[@catfish552]

You mean Brian "I'll drink soy sauce I mopped up from the floor of a tent" Brushwood? That guy?

[@kyesickhead7008]

Wow! An audiobook!? Nice. Cheers From Brasil!

[@leontheseapupper3809]

That deer tongue cutting sound is absolutely disgusting. It’s incredible

[@RATCONQUESO]

Absolutely hooked on this. Would love to see more content like this after the conclusion of this story

[@memsus2346]

literally just finished the first 2, pretty chuffed to get the 3rd one asap lol. loving these B)

[@ravn8005]

I don't know why but i feel like this "Cons don't fool us because we're stupid, they fool us because we're human. This might be the World's Greatest Con." just give me Bioshock vibes with how it is repeated over and over, anyways I love it lol

[@whiplashxe]

I generally don't listen to podcasts, but I adore this. The story telling and spacing for suspense is splendid.

[@xliquidflames]

This is a great story that I've heard told a few times. This is one of my favorite renditions. So far, its engaging and funny and keeps me listening. It is well done. You guys are awesome. There is one thing that keeps fooling me, though. Maybe it is supposed to. The two taglines "cons don't fool us because we're stupid, they fool us because we're human" is immediately followed by "This just might be the world's greatest con". That bit happens twice in the intro and every time i hear it the second time I look down at my phone thinking the thing started over for some reason. Did I hit the skip button by accident and start the whole thing over? Oh, no, wait, they just say it twice for some reason. It's gotten me all three episodes. If that's the intention, well done. Ya got me.

[@jungleman3321]

Same.

[@slickatoe]

Yep, they conned you. And you took the nut.

[@thewordywarlock7159]

So I looked up Glyndwr Michael's grave after the story of his life made me cry, and learned that apparently Montagu and Cholmondeley (absolutely not how I expected those names to be spelled but okay), despite resolving to never reveal Glyndwr Michael's true identity even after the war, apparently they slipped a little reference to it in Bill Martin's backstory- Bill's father is named John Glyndwr Martin.

[@thegardenofeatin5965]

Yeah, from Bryan's pronunciation, it should be Glendower, Montague and Chumbly.

[@bradleymorgan8223]

@@thegardenofeatin5965 crumbly Chumbly :)

[@BigBoiiMemes]

God damn Mr. Brushwood, you sir are an amazing story teller. This is by far the most interesting podcast ever in my opionion.

[@stevegideon5419]

This is beyond epic. To bring the depth of humanity to this story achieved here is extraordinary.

[@parac0sm0naut26]

Beyond Paracosm. The man lived. How many hero stories start with He died. He won the highest award. Nobody knew.

[@Highphi420]

Great telling and production audible we need more Brushwood reading us books!

[@elephantjesus7427]

45:45 you didn't even have to ask me, i've already told four people to listen

Loving this podcast, its so fun and interesting! I'm absolutely hooked!

[@tylernations197]

This is amazing thanks for this!

[@nezzystudios7192]

This is amazing I absolutely love it!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lokithecat7225]

Brian: "Cons Don't Fool us, because We are Stupid. They Fool us, because We are Human." But, all Humans are Stupid. Damn circular logic.

[@darianstjohn5779]

Amazing Episode

[@brandonlaird6876]

For any audiophiles out there, is there a reason the left channel consistently peaks more than the right? Or am I overthinking this, and it's a mono-source converted to stereo? Just curious. Epic series, BB really is an excellent story teller.

[@jungleman3321]

I noticed that too as I was staring at it. I have no clue. Glad I wasn't seeing things.

[@angryavocadoassassin8691]

God Bless Brushwood!

[@BULLETXTC]

I am not human. I am a meat popcicle.

[@stapuft]

....how and why did they jave to thaw his foot, if he wasn't frozen,because if it was they would have known he had been frozen...this confuses me, did they freeze him? If so why do the bit at the begining specifically saying that they COULDNT freeze him?

[@alonkorenblit6552]

Are you uploding the podcast to spotify?

[@JustinRobertYoung]

yup... all four are live now

[@BULLETXTC]

Is this Les Stroud?

37:56, lower right corner. ;)

[@DeathMonky22]

i can't wait for someone to take all of the episodes, remove all the ''cons don't fool us /c we're stupid..'', remove the long stretches of time where it's just music b/c someone thought it would be funny to waste the audiences time by including empty parts where there is no dialog, and cuts every episode into a single hour take with all of brians interesting tid bits and tangents, as well as the actual story.

[@JD2jr.]

Didn't want to say anything, but... yeah. I listen at about 3x speed, so it doesn't bother me too much, but... it's kinda like those youtube videos that have random clips of the video at the start because of the algorithm. I'm already invested, I don't need extra fluff.

[@lautimartinez6341]

i mean, this is neat but when we the fans asked for a podcast, i don't think this is what we had in mind. I think that an unedited video of Brian and Jason just chatting and geeking about pop culture and nerdy stuff would be a lot more interesting than a prerecorder and over edited Brian monologue about a random story.

[@cranfill]

We have that podcast of Jason and Brian on or Patreon

[@RATCONQUESO]

Not sure why a podcast like every other podcast (just 2 dudes talking about regular shit) is more interesting to you than this incredible storytelling. Theres 100s of shows out there of people shooting the shit. This is genuine quality content.

[@teamcybr8375]

We have two episodes of that. And they're good because they aren't forced to do it. This is a completely separate, unrelated thing.

[@JD2jr.]

@@RATCONQUESO because we're fans of their personalities, and they mesh well together. I definitely don't want to shit on this to suggest the other, but this is more a really interesting story broken into pieces than a "podcast" It's great, but not what people are expecting when it's described as such.

[@stenmin1234]

Just because you only listen to certain kinds of podcasts doesn't mean other styles aren't extremely prevalent. It is more scripted than unscripted, but it's a podcast none the less. There are thousands of podcasts which are at the core, scripted stories.
