116: Snake Eyes Pt. 1 - The Early Warning Signs Were All There

The tapes have been pulled. The evidence has been reviewed. And against all better judgment, WWWS presents its first-ever Clip Show Spectacular - a carefully assembled collection of moments, side quests, breakdowns, grievances, and conversational detours gathered from Episodes 1 through 7.

Snake Eyes Pt. 1 revisits the early days of the show: back when the structure was still theoretical, the confidence was completely unearned, and nobody fully understood what this thing was becoming. From the first mailbags to old grudges, strange facts, collapsing logic, and the beginnings of several recurring problems, it’s all here — now conveniently reorganized into one sprawling retrospective.

Some moments hold up surprisingly well. Others should probably have remained buried in the archive.

Either way, the momentum was already forming.

A clip show. A recap. A historical document of escalating instability.

Keep your expectations low. The past certainly did.

Maybe you can do Zocks just chatting away on what we say. Hey, hey, hey.

SPEAKER_00 0:24

Two have cats with nothing to say. It's a group a good time, so listen away. What will we say?

SPEAKER_03 0:40

Oh god. Alright, well, hey. Howdy. Howdy. Welcome to our Clip Show Spectacular. Episode one or part one. Alright, look back at season one. That's exciting. Fifteen episodes that were. We've gathered up all the best bits and some of the worst ones too, but they're in there. Mixed them together in a way that probably doesn't really make sense, but you're gonna laugh. It's uh you're gonna laugh, you're gonna cry, you're gonna tell your friends about it. It makes sense to us, damn it. That's really what matters. Alright, so sit back and enjoy this look back at season one. At season one. And we're uh we're starting this thing. Episode one. You excited? I am uh so excited that I hardly slept last night. Why am I watching this? Why do I care about you? Get it in your mind that this is a sports show. It is not. We're new here, we're not pros. Well, how did we get here? Yeah, it was a little alarming, not gonna lie. Just flicking us in the nuts. At knowing how what content is good for people. I did, in fact, not die, and here I am. Balls are flipped. But come along for the ride. You seem refreshed. Oh, I feel I feel refreshed. We were uh encouraged to go there with the promise of a couple of beers and a hot dog. I like to think that we're kind of propping them up and uh giving them a purpose again. The little stand with a stick and a and with a little wheel on it. Oh, it's exciting for sure. Just flicking us in the nuts. Wow. No oil, no butter, no bacon bits, no chives, no sour cream. There's lots of sports shows out there. We are not one of them. I'm funny that way. That was the alarming part for me. Because also we're not a sports show. And we're not a sports show. Let's establish that. I've said alarming a lot now. And they said we just need to get some drinks in you and film you for a bit. I had a nickname in high school, but I'm not gonna disclose it. There was one guy who was, I think, more confused than excited. What a tool. Anyway, so that's that's how we got here. It's gonna be tight. It's a tight seat. I just really enjoy weather. It's exciting. I'm excited for this man. Weather-related occurrences. Great thing about weather is that there's never a time where there isn't weather. We're not other shows. We're this show. We're barely this show.

Poof!

SPEAKER_03 3:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 3:04

But there's so many I guess there's different yeah.

SPEAKER_03 3:08

I don't know. Well, the future's an amazing place to be. Like they can clearly see in our tight leather pants. We do not have guns. We have we have no firearms. We ain't backing. We ain't backing any well. It's the future, man. God, to grow up in your world, hey, and you're gonna be a few. Oh, it was just what a time to be alive. Hey, come on out to see Big Yuke try to hold tennis balls. I don't know. A dumb use of one's time? Why are chess champions so arrogant? Eight hours. That is so incredible. Twenty hours. Watch your back because shit's getting weird this week. Seven hours. Now, uh, if you guys are done bitching, that seems like a long time to me. If we were up to no good, we wouldn't be dressed so fine. Twenty-nine, I bet. Way above passable. The answer is three, and no, I haven't thought about it. Stenography's the future. In my high school yearbook, it actually says tube socks. Great guesser. We're hip. Carbon paper. Cool, we're on the cutting edge. Right. Oh, the hip is it? He can do almost anything. I can't do that. Voted most likely to guess correctly. Gosh, no, that'd be crazy. Huh. Has taken a life of its own. And then sneak in there and steal their air. Kind of creepy though and weird. Well, you don't have to be in a bush. If you're sitting in your vehicle. It's a highly effective method, though. I don't even know where to begin with that. That fucking guy. Frickin' guy. Five monkeys. This came to me in a dream. Has anyone ever said, oh no, get real close to those monkeys? That's not the way I want to present myself. You make a good point. Uh, we're gonna say some stuff about some stuff. How am I supposed to know how you feel if I can't easily see it on your finger? Displayed for me to read you. I mean, I don't think my heart should be filled with color. Is that good? Is that bad? Should I be scared? Should I come close? We don't really know. That's true. That's when you've got this kind of eye candy, you would think everyone would be tuning in. Thanks for tuning in because you know we're doing this. For you. For you. I did not know. Oh crap. I thought you were dead. This is so disappointing. But I don't get heated, okay? Simmer down. I don't have any uh stories where I am embarrassed or feel embarrassed or embarrassed myself, because that's just not something that happens to me. I know you don't like uh, you know what? That makes sense though. I don't really need an explanation there. I get it. So we like did a bunch of stuff and we had a a pretty crazy time. When you need to get off of something. It's always a a jerk pants. I've already lost. Yeah, that checks out. You don't want people spitting on your cake. Okay, no, no. What? Stop it! This man showing it all off. That's the thing. We just had a big gap though.

SPEAKER_04 6:05

He got me so excited here.

SPEAKER_03 6:07

Uh we were at a place watching a sporting event, and the public washrooms at this, you need a there's a keypad on the door. Okay, you can't just go to the washroom. So normally you would approach the restroom and you look at the men, women, you know, okay. Push, it's like, oh, walk in, oh right, there's a big keypad. So I go up to the bar. Hey, what's the code? Uh so then I go to the washroom, punch in the code, go in, I kind of look around. I was like, well, it's kind of weird. Anyways, take care of my my business. Your business. Kind of thinking, it's not that I I've been in here before. I remember there was urinals in here. Where'd the urinals go? I guess they've renovated the bathroom. Oh man, I know which establishment you're talking about. And then I uh walk out the door, and immediately in front of me is the door that has the silhouette of a man on it. And I'm I'm coming out of the door that has the little skirt on it. Ooh. And I am so thankful that no dames walked in. I don't believe I've seen something like that. Keep doing what you're doing, and we'll keep doing what what we're doing, but separate from what you're doing, probably. Very likely separate. Dearbuds and blue cheese. It was the tale of two weathers. Another funny little sidebar. He's a hog. He's the worst. I'm very ready. You're not gonna sway me, you're not gonna change my oh, I was thinking this wasn't good, but then, oh, that jagoff down the street had the sign on his lawn, and I've reconsidered my position. What well your dog's an idiot. I'd love a good bumper sticker. I don't. Drinking and smoking and just chirping and yapping. The things he's so incredibly fun to be around. And that's kind of the weird thing, is the things he does like he Oh, it's in the skirts room. I really enjoy the way you're setting it up. Catch me. Shooting the shit for humanity. He's like, oh, I've oh, glad you came, tube socks. You know? Everyone, it's fun. There's a lot going on here. But not in a creepy way, because again, that's not what we're about here. Stop it. No one likes Roxy music. Brian Ferry doesn't even like Roxy music, and he was in the band. And he's beside the toilet on his stomach, just sprawled. Okay, that's interesting. I'll go to this guy. Line dancing is a terrible scourge. I never kid. Well, that's that's kind of true. But I'm uh I'm not against it. Because it just seems excessive. I love a yogurt tube with my meal. If you're listening, which I'm sure you are. I don't know why you wouldn't be. Right? Well, this is so weird. Oh my god! Hey, hey, yeah, you know, uh Linda's a bit of a drag. We should get her in our knitting club when we're out and about in some sort of one of our many Not a large hole. I love stuff. I'm a fun guy. Love what you need to set your own rules. If anyone knows TubeSocks, you know he's an open-minded Yeah, that's what we call you. Free kind of guy. Yep, that's exactly what we say when you're not around is he's free. I had a bit of a run-in. It's kind of a jerk pants. I shudder when I see that, but anyways. 241 kilopascals. I I don't even know what to say, honestly. Wow. There was no ill intent here. It really felt like there was? Because it's like, oh fucking tube socks again with the story. What do we even say it? Don't worry. We're professionals. This guy's a dick. Okay. The first three days being blown in Seattle. So that's why I've got this like negative. I think I think I saw that movie Blown in Seattle. Well, that's amazing. What's your beef with having a little bit of fun? I couldn't punch him in the neck hard enough. God. I don't hate limbo. As a pretty cool guy, I don't like to sound like a tool. After they assign you a family, then they assign you a very small cup. A caper and a hot dog? Absolutely. It's not fun at all. Very punchable face. Now what do you think that is? I have no idea. Exactly, it's not real. You know, peeling back, peel back behind the curtain, as we like to say. Every time I say that, I feel like a total tool. Maybe someone just made it up and it wasn't a thing. That uh instantly does not uh nothing comes to mind. This is not my bag. This is wait, so you're pr wait, okay. And that's the best he's done. That's the peak! That's not how we work on what we were saying. Uh not a sports show. One day he came into the dressing room before a game. We'd never heard this guy speak. Okay. Yes. But anyways. Words getting out about the show. Hey, TubeSocks is back and he didn't die in 1991. Those who know me, I mean, I'm a fairly cool guy. You guys know that.

SPEAKER_04 10:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 10:51

We don't want people to think that we're incompetent. Give me some shade and puddle water and I'm good. It's the worst. It's not. This isn't a sports show. Not a sports show. It could have just gone better. That that deserves a drink, I guess. Were you looking for another one? I've just just seen where we're at. Hang on. Checks out. Multiple bottles of booze. Number six. What were we drinking? What were we drinking? A few of them had been consumed. You know what makes a guy want to go drinking. You wanna read that part again for me, my partner? So we ended up getting really loaded in Tacoma, Washington. Still problematic. And that's that's two now. He's kind of gotten us. I probably wouldn't get so florlic and loaded that I passed out. I mean, I'm a big corn liquor advocate. Keeps you up so you can keep drinking. And the beers will be cold. A good ice cold beer. Alright. Bit of a hangover. My favorite three things. Let you finish your sip. Actually, I'll take a sip before diving into this. I wait all week for this. I don't I don't drink clam juice. Hey, let's get together and drink some beers. There's lawn signs. Oh, yeah. Anyways. That that's a good life lesson for most people. Stick clear of the corn liquor. I think that just makes everything more funeral. Would you like something to drink? And then she comes back and she gave us each two beers? I think I blacked out. You probably may or may not notice that we are drinking some private labeled Triple WS beer. And behind the camera is Edgar. I believe it was Edgar's issue. He's the man behind the camera. Good job, Edgar. I am proud of you, Edgar. By Edgar, the man behind the camera. He may be angry with us, even though we did let him take the empties back last week. I think Edgar's problem is that he doesn't drink enough. Okay, so Edgar's not very smart. Very certain Edgar knows, and I know you do. You son of a bitch. Edgar, turn your phone off. We don't love him, we don't hate him, we're indifferent to him. I think Edgar's a fraud. You didn't do great. Edgar, you did your job today. Unlike Edgar. Eager Edgar. When Edgar thrives, we all thrive. Big Uke's bunch of stuff this week is the top ten best beers. Yes. But not brand wise. Beer moments. Number 10, the post-work beer. Or do you get it at a bar, an establishment, a restaurant, on the on the front porch, the back deck. I regularly partake. I've heard. I've heard. One day I'll get out there. Number nine. Well, this one might not really apply to you. The first tea box. He's not really a golfer. I'm not at all a golfer. You don't think I do. I have golfed. Number eight. The post-grass cutting beer. Absolutely. Number seven. The nineteen bowl. Do you guys know what that means? Well, that's the part of golf that I enjoy. Oh, okay. Yeah. So he's a big 19th. Okay, I have golfed. Seven, seven, seven times in your life. Yes. You know, the number six here, I thought it when I when I initially wrote out my ideas and then started numbering them. I thought this might have been a bit uh uh higher up. The boat slash lake beer. Number five, an airport beer. Okay, it's a number four, the potentially controversial one, okay? A tower beer. Uh you like your okay. This is this is why I also put it on the list, not in the top three. Because for me, this is like a number one or number. For me, this is not even number three. A tant fire beer. That is elite. It is just an elite beer. And uh number two and number one are both things that for people who know me, I say this often. The second best type of beer. Cold. And the best type of beer, number one. Okay, free. You know what? That's a that's a solid list. That's something I like people that know me. I say that often. My two type my two favorite types of beer, well, my three favorite types of beer, but the third didn't make this list. Second favorite's cold. First favorite's free. Sunny downtown. It's dodgy, north of Tacoma. About a 20-minute drive from Blender Works Studios. Uh they're just off the new road. Back to Tacoma, which is a beautiful, beautiful city with fabulous architecture.

Been listening for a while now, and honestly, it just feels like we'd get along. The back and forth, the beers, the mild grievances, that's my wheelhouse. Not to make it weird, but I feel like I already know what each of you would order. I won't say it here, I just have a sense. Odd. When you say not to make it weird, that tells me you're about to make it weird. No, to make it weird. Um anyway, if you're ever grabbing a beer after recording, I'd be happy to just tag along. I wouldn't even talk very much. I'm a good listener. I could set off to the side, just soak it in. Uh no pressure. Just put it out there. Um boy. Flexible on location. I've included my cell number, but I will ask if you can refrain from getting it out on air. No chance of it. Kyle. Kyle. That's it. That's that's that's it. Um he doesn't want to make it creepy and you know, I don't want to make it weird. Weird, oh sorry, and then he goes full weird. Hello, Big Yuke and Tube Socks. Hey. Unlike a lot of people who write in, I don't have anything to criticize. Bo. I just wanted to say that I think you're both very handsome. Uh-huh. You seem fun, and I like watching the show. The beards work, please don't shave them. That's it, Jenna. Well, Jenna. I like the kind of Jenna's jib. Oh hey! Howdy. Nice to see you still with us here. We're in the middle of our first clip show spectacular. I think it's going great. I have giggled, I have uh chuckled, I have uh uh flummoxed, that's not the right word, but uh no, I've had a lot of emotions. There we go. Looking back on on uh on season one here. Well, I don't want to keep you guys waiting, keep you guys away from the entertainment, so let's get right back to it. Enjoy! Hence Edgar, can you grab that, please? I made sure when I went on Prime I logged into Mrs. TubeSocks's account. Summer or winter. I think some of these are What the hell? Featuring portions that don't ask questions. Every Tuesday is there was times we were involved. Oh gosh. Oh boy. Yeah. Thank you. I think I might know what I'm signing off each episode with. Do you catch us, Edgar? We c we made sure to Virginia Thank you. Where's your buddy? He could have he could have just making a beer. Edgar, catch this one so you can take it home. Save that label.

Three things that can kick rocks. The man-made underwear, guys, square cut pizza, sizzling plates in restaurants, professional poker players wearing sunglasses, constant hydration, team building exercises, pedicures, pamphlets left on windshields, the word panties, comic sands, ranch dressing, graffiti on anything other than train cars, Van Morrison, comically large screens and new vehicles, massages, paying to inflate your tires, that gesture thing that people do with their hands when they make a heart, reggae music, lawn signs, smart fridges, escape rooms. Everyone must hate those three things. Things we are friends, okay? Well, well, oh ish. It's like I don't even know you. We've got a lot to learn about each other. Soon to be pal, big you. Yes.

We probably wouldn't have been friends. We still aren't. And as we continue our friendship journey, I'm supporting him on this. Plus, as we're becoming friends, it's also fun to learn these stories. It's a journey, and I don't want to say that we have achieved friendship yet, but we're getting close. Closer. We're getting close. Uh Big Harold's typewriter emporium. Dirk Hennigan's Potato Fantasy. The second opinion parking app. The Hungry Prospector Dining Lounge and Farm Supply. Marlowe's Family Diner. Fondue Pit. The Carbon Paper Supply House.
