Contents

Preshow

Before the show started, Brian and Justin tried to do a music video breakdown of "Turn Your Back on Me" by Kajagoogoo, but Justin's internet kept going out and ruined the bit.

Cold Open

Bri Bri and Jurbs convince kids to cut off their fingers

Tooth Aids

The show started out with a discussion about going to the dentist and how Brian has amazing dental hygiene.

Scam School is About to Cross 1,000,000 YouTube Subscribers

It looks like, sometime in the middle of the show, the Scam School YouTube channel will be the 997th channel ever to pass 1 million subscribers. It is quite an achievement that is a decade in the making. Brian and Justin talked about the history of Scam School and how it is what brought them together for the first time. All the while, Brian continually refreshed the YouTube analytics page and watched the number of subscribers increase.

Will it happen during the show? WHO KNOWS?!

HOLY SHIT BRIAN HAS A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS ON YOUTUBE!

POP THE CHAMPAGNE! THROW THE CONFETTI! HAVE SEX WITH A GOAT! IT HAPPENED!

Brian crossed a million YouTube subscribers; a feat achieved by less than 1000 channels in the world. Congratulations to Brian, Brandt, Bryce and everyone else who has made Scam School what it is.

The Patreon is at $1958. If you want to become a patron, head on over to Patreon.com/NightAttack.

During this episode, Brian and Justin announced that a few times a year they will re-release some of the Patreon-exclusive Night Attack EPs for new Patrons that missed them the first time around.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson is Here!

Neil DeGrasse Tyson, noted Twitter rabble rouser and science person, called into the show to play a round of Neil DeGrasse Tyson or THIS Asshole? In this game, Neil has to figure out if a tweet presented to him was written by himself or some other asshole.

Editor's note - I feel it's important to state that this bit was done the night before it was announced that Neil DeGrasse Tyson would have a show on Nat Geo, the same channel as Brian's Hacking the System.

BTW, there were a TON of tweets curated for this game, see them all and play for yourself here.

Paying Back Old Debt

So the guys are awesome at promising things for future episodes and not delivering. So they asked the Chatrealm to put together a doc of all the broken promises and they will give a judgement on each item as to whether or not they intend to fulfill their promise.
