The Hoodoo Factory

Welcome back for part B of our Costume-Mania Recapisode. Jason Klamm is our special guest, and he will help us determine the winner of the Costume Tournament for our Costume-Mania Unit!

Welcome to the Recapisode for our Costume-Mania Unit!   Joining us to discuss this unit (episodes: "Jackass Junior High", "Halloween", and "Apartment") is Jason Klamm, a talented multi-hyphenate, and notably a host of the "Dispatches from Fort Awesome" podcast.  Because Jason was such an awesome guest, and because we wanted to include some extra costume-related fun, this episode was longer than our usual Recapisodes, so we split it into two episodes.  Make sure to listen to Part B!

Re-Release: Welcome back! In this episode of The Hoodoo Factory we discuss the NewsRadio episode Apartment in greater detail. This is the third of three episodes  in our “Costume-Mania” unit. Part B is the discussion portion of the Hoodoo experience. The host will have the opportunity to share their answers to the ABSA fever questions. You’ll also get to hear some Half Truths and Gorilla Dust and we’ll open A Time Capsule from the Internot.

Re-Release: In this episode of The Hoodoo Factory we discuss the episode Apartment. This is the third of three episodes in our “Costume-Mania” unit. Part A is the game show portion of the Hoodoo experience. In the ABSA Fever round we’ll discuss some of our favorite scenes, quotes, keepsakes, and more. In the Marty Party round we’ll discuss our answers to these hard hitting questions: Is it The Real Deal (I buy it) or The McNeal Perspective (I’m selling it)? Lisa cheated to win the contest by getting the puppy before she knew she had a place for it. Getting the apartment would have improved Max’s life the most out of the three. The “pregnant bigfoot” picture of Max was the worst thing on the WNYX website. Having the staff vote on who gets the recommendation was the best way that Jimmy could have made a decision. Have an Adequate Day by playing “would you rather.” Would you rather have to campaign your co-workers to vote for you to get a great apartment in a workplace contest between you and two other co-workers OR have to live with your boss for three months while you find a new place? Would you rather find out the person you’re dating and have been intimate with is your first cousin OR get and keep a pet you don’t want, don’t like, and will dislike caring for, to get a great apartment or house? Would you rather have your boss tell you to create a company YouTube channel and to get 1M collective likes within three months or else you’re fired OR be recorded on camera every second you are on your job’s property for a full week? Would you rather listen to a weird co-worker for 75 minutes as they explain to you their alien character’s backstory OR wear a skimpy costume in a play that will be webcam-ed and broadcast live onto the internet and you will be on camera the entire time? Bonus consequence: Sleep in a small bed with too many large dogs for three months. Come back for Part B where we’ll discuss the episode in greater detail.

Re-release: Welcome back! In this episode of The Hoodoo Factory we discuss the NewsRadio episode Halloween in greater detail. This is the second of three episodes  in our “Costume-Mania” unit. Part B is the discussion portion of the Hoodoo experience. The host will have the opportunity to share their answers to the ABSA fever questions. You’ll also get to hear some Half Truths and Gorilla Dust and we’ll open A Time Capsule from the Internot.

Re-Release: In this episode of The Hoodoo Factory we discuss the episode Halloween. This is the second of three episodes in our “Costume-Mania” unit. We’ll discuss some of our favorite scenes, quotes, keepsakes, and more. In the Marty Party round we’ll discuss our answers to these hard hitting questions: Is it The Real Deal (I buy it) or The McNeal Perspective (I’m selling it)? Lisa has the lamest costume at the entire party. Joe put in the least amount of effort for his costume. Dave gout hit on by five or more men at the Halloween party. Bill was more dismayed at Dorothy Johnson’s reveal than Dave was relieved to reveal he’s a male. Have an Adequate Day by playing “would you rather.” Would you rather be the designated driver for your friends at a rager of a Halloween costume party OR bring a date to a work party and break up with them in the middle of the party? Would you rather have a psychic predict that you’ll die within three years OR have a doctor confirm that you’ll live until the age of 150? Would you rather learn to handle venomous snakes at parties OR learn to juggle chainsaws at parties? Would you rather have your friend borrow a “blah” outfit from you and get a constant stream of compliments on it OR have your boss tell everyone you’ll have a crazy costume for the party that night, when you haven’t picked a costume yet? Bonus consequence: Get pressured by your grudge-holding boss to be the first one on the dance floor to get the dancing started.  Come back for Part B where we’ll discuss the episode in greater detail.

Re-Release: Welcome back! In this episode of The Hoodoo Factory we discuss the NewsRadio episode Jackass Junior High in greater detail. This is the first of three episodes  in our “Costume-Mania” unit. Part B is the discussion portion of the Hoodoo experience. The host will have the opportunity to share their answers to the ABSA fever questions. You’ll also get to hear some Half Truths and Gorilla Dust and we’ll open A Time Capsule from the Internot.

Re-Release: Part A In this episode of The Hoodoo Factory we discuss the episode Jackass Junior High. This is the first of three episodes in our “Costume-Mania” unit. Part A is the game show portion of the Hoodoo experience. In the ABSA Fever round we’ll discuss some of our favorite scenes, quotes, keepsakes, and more. In the Marty Party round we’ll discuss our answers to these hard hitting questions: Is it The Real Deal (I buy it) or The McNeal Perspective (I’m selling it)? In the breakroom, Bill has the most upsetting behavior/appearance before Lisa brings in the temp. Matthew is the best choice on staff to give a tour, in general. The guys in the break room blaming Bill’s belch on Lisa is the biggest show of their affection for her. People on tours of workplaces should be able to directly ask questions to the workers as they perform their duties. Have an Adequate Day by playing “would you rather.” Would you rather give a 10-15 minute tour of your workplace, five times a day for a week, bothering your coworkers, OR have a group silently watch you work for the full day, for a week? Would you rather have a coworker pass gas then openly blame it on you to an attractive guest in the work place OR have a full tea party in the men’s room? Would you rather help a coworker save face by allowing them to publicly mock you and have them say some really hurtful things OR save face at work by publicly mocking someone else? Would you rather dress in a silly costume at work for the day and do a song and dance for visitors OR be on a tour where the guide is obviously completely making everything up? Bonus consequence: be expressly told that you are not funny, with the implication that you shouldn’t ever try again.
