Announcment! Merch, Listener Drive, Patreon Levels, Website

Hello, listeners. It is me, Sean O'Hara, your game master. And joining me as always, Abdul Aziz. Hi, everybody. Paul Oppers. Hey there, guys. And Jessica Tai. Hi. Sorry, I jumped that. You really jumped the gun. Jessica's really here. This is an exciting time. It's an exciting time, everybody. We're here to make an announcement. There are some changes coming. Good changes. Yes. To our Patreon structure, including some new tiers. Yeah. We've got a new website. Oh, 100%. Wow. And.

And some merch coming your way. Yeah. If you want it. Yes. Spout Lore merchandise for the first time. Which you do. Because I do. Yeah, I do, too. And people have been asking for it for a while. Yeah. And it's all designed by who's that? Yours truly, Abdul Aziz. No one else designed this merch. So when you look at those. Abdul Aziz stole a USB drive from Jessica Tai and has put his name on everything she made. He stole my iPad. I am very sad. I actually saw it happen.

He ran into our into our apartment, pushed Jessica over, said, this is mine now, and then ran out with her iPad. Yeah. I yelled, it belongs in a museum. It belongs in a merch store. With the exact kind of moral defense that Indiana Jones would use. So, yeah. Well, let's talk about some Patreon levels. We are adding a. Discord channel. To the levels that already exist. We're going to say. We're going to say. We're going to say the same, but you get a like you get a discord integration. Yeah.

There's going to be discord available to all Spout Lore listeners. All Spout Lore listeners. With a special Patreon supporters. Patreon. Discord. Channel. Channel. Yes. We'll have announcements for live streams. You can ask. There'll be a lot of Q&A stuff. Yeah. We'll probably run live streams through the supporters channel. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. And that'll be at the ten dollar level that you get that. And you also get a bunch of. Video content at the ten dollar level. Mm hmm.

Which is like a Q&A that we did. A video Q&A. Where the video cuts out at the end. Yeah. Right in my cool story. We fucked it up. Pretty funny. We're going to put in pictures of all of us as kids where the video cuts out. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. We were all so sweaty and tired at that point too. It was such a hot room. It was that like early September during like the smoky heat wave. Yeah. Rough. Across the street from the jail. Jesus. Yeah. That was a weird day. Yeah. Gotta see this gang.

Also some postcards are available at the ten dollar level too. Like quarterly. Each seasonal. Yeah. Right. It's going to be postcards designed. Each season one of us will design a postcard and send it out to everybody. So you get some good ones and then some by Abdul. Guys, I'm going to try so fucking hard and it's going to be trash. No, people are going to love it. Let's be serious. Your drawings are very sweet and full of heart. Yeah. So that. Pointing a picture of a knobby dick.

Dicked with four balls. Two sets of balls. It kind of looks like an X-Wing or like a goose. Yeah. It's disappointing really. Anyways. So at the $25 level. You get some merch. Yes. You get all the other stuff and some merch. Uh-huh. And then what is the next level Abdul? It's $100. Nice. Some would say shooting a bit too high. We'll wait till our next level. Hey John Sparger. But on the other hand. We have a pretty good chance that you feel like giving us $100 a month.

Although there is somebody out there doing that right now. Thank you so much Claire. And honestly we made this level specifically for Claire. Specifically for you. For you. Yeah. But you will every six months or so get a package that is a care package that is put together by the entire cast. That's like some of our favorite things. It's going to like kind of stuff like books, CDs, Paul's. Mason jars. Put a Mason jars full of a bunch of stupid woods shit in there.

Abdul's going to have a bunch of poop in a box for you. Gross. And he's keto. So it's going to be smelly. Let's talk about the kind of stuff we would actually put in the care package to make it appealing. Okay. I'm actually going to put some wood shit in there just so you know. Yeah. My favorite teas. A candle. I like a lot of self-care stuff. Probably some drawings. A book I like. Yeah. Yeah. Because I'm a fucking nerd. It'll probably be a hard copy of an RPG system that I'm a fan of. From me.

Yeah. I forage a lot of medicinal mushrooms. And I've been making cool different stuff. I made a mushroom protein powder and some lion's mane and turkey tail boosters. So some cool forage medicines and teas also I make. So cool. And I'll send you cash. Who's your favorite now? Cold hard cash. Less than you will have donated at the point that you receive the care package. No more. I insist. $900 per care package. Abdul, buy your love. What kind of stuff would you put in Abdul? I love books. Yeah.

I'll put a book in there. I'll put maybe like, I don't know. Some joke stuff. I'll put some stupid shit in there. I'm fucking idiot. You know what would be fun? A USB stick with songs that you like. Oh, yeah. That's a good idea. I'll put a mix CD in there. Cool. Yeah. You're saying a mixtape. Yeah. I'll make a mixtape. I'll make. I don't know. Maybe I'll put my own. Comedy in there. That's what I was going to say. Mixtape with music and some of your sets on it. That'd be fun. Yeah. Yeah.

So after the $100 level, there is. The God of the Flame level. Yeah. Which is $1,000. It's a thousand. We are going to try and add a thousand dollar level. I don't think. It's such a joke. I don't think Patreon is going to let us do it. Oh, no. They do. Watch this. If you do donate, I will come to your house once a year and suck. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No, no, no, no, no. We already talked about this. That is not allowed or possible or even moral.

But I think the actual idea that we had is Abdul will write and produce a custom album of Spout Lore music. I will do it. I'll make a custom album for you. There's definitely gonna be a song about him coming to your house and sucking your dick. Probably. But yeah, I'll do that like once a year at the $1,000 level. Because that's crazy. Yeah, an album's a lot. Yeah, getting musicians and audio mastering and stuff like that would be crazy. With the wonderful and talented Aaron Reid. Yes.

Yeah, so we can assume that that's a joke. But we'll see. And I will learn to play guitar. I guess I'll learn to play guitar for this. Sean can already play concertina. Yeah, we're all gonna make an appearance on it. Yeah, that'd be fun. Oh, I could play concertina. Miles could play banjo. We could do some maritime music. Mouth harp, I'm there. Yeah, totally. Okay, man, I'm excited about this now. Somebody please donate $1,000 a month for this. Make a boot song.

So we also have a new merch store. We're starting out small. Just a few things that might be fun or cute. I did my best. They're all very fun. She literally did her best. I did my best. Just like things that I thought would be kind of funny or sweet. Hopefully you like them. You can find the link on our new website, speltlore.com. Or you can search us on Redbubble. Which is where we'll be doing that. Yeah, what kind of stuff is in the merch store? Good question. Some tote bags. My favorite.

I love totes. Yeah, tote bags. Some tees. T-shirts. Okay. Oh, some tees. We've got Tenley. We got Red Rose. We got Green. We got Roybus. All right. Some tote bags. Some t-shirts. Pins. Pins. Stickers. Stickers. Yeah. What else? I'm forgetting everything. Tote bags. T-shirts. T-shirts. Stationery, maybe? I think so. Trolls. We're making little trolls of all our characters with fuzzy hair and jewels in their belly. Wow, I wish. Def not that. Def not that. That's a great idea, though.

I think that's it for the time being, though. There might be more. Just go and check it out. Yeah, there will be more. We're just going to start small. But yeah, you can check it out on the website. The link is there. Yeah, and the designs are fucking sick. Yeah. Jessica did a design that's a hot dog festival t-shirt. Yeah. Bud Lark. Hot dog festival. Uh-huh. You are the wapple of my eye. Yeah. And a little wicker, which I really just wanted to draw him. Yeah. So cute. Her. Yeah. Yeah.

You did it without me having to remind you. It doesn't matter. It's wicker in the golden- In the compass roses. In the compass rose. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I hope you like those. Yeah. And if you don't, please don't tell me. It's true. If you do, we're going to be mad at you. No. I'll help you. Just sad. I'll be mad at you. You'll be crazy if you don't like these. Yeah. We've also made a new website. Yes. And if you go to that website, you can access the merch with Jessica's artwork on it. Mm-hmm.

There'll be new things like character bios, a bunch of fan art's going to be there too. And also, there's going to be an entire section that's just fan favorite clips. So if you have a friend that you are like, listen to this podcast, but they're kind of reluctant to, what you can do is you can go to the fan favorites section and you can actually just like copy like the link to one of those and send it to someone.

Just pick your favorite one and it'll make it like super easy for you guys to share the podcast. And if you have a favorite moment that you don't see on the website, let us know and we can go through and see if we get enough requests for it, then we'll put up there. Yeah. So that's kind of what we got coming down the pipe and in preparation slash celebration for these big changes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Spell war. We don't like have ads on it or anything. It's like all through donations. And honestly, the best way you could help is like to help other people find us. So what we're going to do is we're going to do a listener drive where it's like just for the next week, if you could like make it a priority to share the podcast with like people who you think would like it with.

And once you ride these two skateboards at one time, I'll give you two hot dogs. Oh my God. Only there's more than one hot dog. Yeah. Two hot dogs. I always assumed that there was only one in existence at any one time. That's why I only ever got one. Do you get two hot dogs at the same time? If you ride the skateboard really well, cut back to Tony Hawk. Yeah. I'm going to have to see how Tony Hawk does to know who it would I have to beat.

Did I just fucking overhear that this dog's going to get two hot dogs? Why the fuck do I only ever get one hot dog? And Tony Hawk's talking to his coach, Paul. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's craziness. He's just making it up. You know, I mean, he's getting nervous because he knows that, that he's lying and he's been only using one hot dog to dangle in front of his face this whole time. We can't afford to, I'm sorry.

And then the dog, bored dog's coach reaches into his vest underneath, which there are two, like what those like gun holsters. And then he pulls it from the gun holsters. He's been keeping two hot dogs that have toppings on them already. This one is relish. This one is mustard. No ketchup was available at the concession stand. We cut to the concession and there's a 16 year old boy shoveling ketchup into his mouth. Ready to hit the pipe. This is fucking sick.

So I'm going to get those fucking hot dogs. I want to taste what two hot dogs taste like. You can do it. Fucking do it. I can do the best. Thanks coach. Fuck. Can't wait. Jessica's actually drooling. Yeah. No, I did that. No, I did. I did. Okay. And so Tony Hawk gets on. Not one, not two, but three skateboards. One sec. One sec. Whoa. What is this? Okay. Nice. My two legs and three skateboards. I can do this. Yeah. Paul, you're the announcer again. He's stepping one leg off.

Doesn't twirl up in the ground. Back around all ballerina style. And he's down. He started his descent down in the. He still has two hot dogs coming back up. He slips all the way over. Double over. Oh no. Oh no. The ramp has collapsed. The ramp has had him. He is had by the ramp. I'm sure to win now. Says bored dog holding a screwdriver and three loose screws. And two hot dogs. And see. Oh, it seems over. What? No, the ghost of Tony Hawk returns. Oh, yeah.

And I, and he comes to haunt the board dog. But this is, this is the sequel movie. It's a board dog to board game board duck to the ghost of Tony Hawk. Tony Hawk's revenge. And the coach is still holding the two hot dogs. But they're like a shriveled and old now. Cause I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, Oh, Oh, Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. When he sucked the soul out of the hot dogs. Oh, God. Hot dog cover. He's got the power of two hot dogs. I have the power of two hot dogs. You know what this means, right? World domination. I'm going to destroy the entire Earth and fill it with the souls of the undead. Ghost Tony Hawk's coach is there. And coach? But you're going to be the fucking first one in my army of the dead. But first, to do that, I gotta kill you. You know what?

I saw this coming when I was withholding the hot dogs. I'm paying the price. As long as you can do it really just… Not my soul! You can take my life, but you can't have my soul! And then Tony Hawk's ghost poops out the coach's soul. Whoa. And now, okay, now we cut forward to the trailer for Bored Dog 3, Son of Bored Dog. Abdullah's son of Bored Dog. Oh, no, I'm still the coach. You're Son of Bored Dog. Okay, Paul's son of Bored Dog. Okay, Paul, you're Son of Bored Dog.

And because of the events of Tony Hawk… Wait, Bored Dog… Tony Hawk's Revenge. Tony Hawk's Revenge. I have a scar. I have a scar vertically on this side and an eye patch over this side. I can't. I'm blind. I can't see anything. I can't see. I'm blind. I come out of a trailer. Exterior shot. Whim-swept wasteland. You can see… It's a desert with snow in the middle of the wilderness. There's one trailer in the middle of it. Just… Rocking back and forth in the wind. Yeah.

Because you can't see anything. Standing in front of the trailer is a bald white man in a dark suit. Are you Tony Hawk's old… Are you Bored Dog's coach? Who's asking? The U.S. Government. The ghost of Tony Hawk has returned. And then I pick up a skateboard and I cock it like a gun. Ooh. Oh, man. Guys, I'm really into the Bored Dog franchise. Bored Dog. The first one's effectively Air Bud. But the original writer quit three quarters of the way through and it had to get finished by a guy…

Maybe five, six. Five, six. And it was finished by a dog.
