S3E8: Whatever it Takes

We're back with a lil' ol special episode of the Bad Melee Podcast recapping the Roast of Hugo Gonzalez. Each person on the cast had a very different role in the event, with everyone pressing the heads of their penises together to make a giant roast Megazord. We go through the writing process, wax philosophical on the concept of accreditation, talk about a few hiccups with the tournament, and if we really are in the era of too much Ludwig.

Welcome to the second annual post-Bigger Balcony podcast. A bit of a departure from last year as nobody almost got into a fistfight at the venue and Ludwig was not present to show his nutsack during mafia, this year's Project M tournament still left us with plenty to discuss. With several actors as Balcy the Bro Sun, PM being streamed on Twitch with seemingly no repercussions, a hentai connoisseur taking the title yet again, and our dear friend Guntherz getting cheated out of win, the illegal tournament once again forged memories of friendship and strife that we will carry to our graves.

Special circumstances have led a very sorry individual to our podcast, where he takes us through his life's journey leading him to place 5th at Summit of Power, as well as describes in great detail the story of how he was DQ'd from EVO Top 8. We finally pinpoint which Seinfeld characters each member of the podcast is, with some startling revelations about who is and isn't Newman, and talk about the mechanics and implications of the new SmUsh game. After attending E3, only one questions remains: Are we truly gamers that have lost our way, or is it kids who are wrong?

Special Summit 6 Episode! by Bad Melee Podcast

It's the final podcast of season 3, and with an uncertain future the boys spend their last hours talking about poop fetishes, the Socal arcadian, and break down the structure of memes. Later on in the night, Dawson and Anthony talk about potential future timelines as well as distinguish the line between bullying and clowning, which Dawson has been doing the former of to Anthony this whole time. Yet again, it's been a wild ride, and this time it's thanks to people who contributed their hard-earned dollars. To anyone who subscribed to the patreon, watched, listened, shitposted, tweeted, anything and everything: thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

The boys return with an inside look at Smash Summit 6 in which Dawson successfully convinced Slime that he had never used a microwave for his entire life. Also covered is the fiery twitch reception from the Bad Melee Podcast being broadcast in the late timeslot at Smash Summit, Puzzle Bobble, UCF, and the nature of self-reflection.

Our very dear and ghostly friend Indie makes a special guest appearance on this, the day of Slime's birthday. After a thorough roasting session, the boys once again delve into the sedate waters of esports content and attempt to get at the heart of what makes people FEEL. Other topics include the new Socal house of smashers, SSS, and Ludwig.

In one of the more rigorous AMAs of Miles's life, the boys ask him a barrage of questions about animals in Australia and what joey meat tastes like. We cover topics including sending severed pinkies in the mail, Ninja going to the grocery store, Flatiron 3, content creators, and chasen dreamz.

It seems that when the going gets tough, we can all come together and agree how fucked up it felt to slap the animals in Black and White. Among other topics, the boys go over the yips, removing the ladder while our Sims are swimming, playing lame, Ludwig Anders Gaming, Miles at shine, and mean people on the internet.

In the spirit of Hugs, we started this podcast late but ended up finishing strong. We talk about the apparent uselessness of the council, the current trajectory of reality TV and esports, the plight of the Unga Bunga Man, and grade school crushes.
