Welcome to the New Fan's Guide to the BBverse!

You're likely here because you've recently discovered Scam School, NSFW, Frame Rate, the Weird Things Podcast or Weird Things TV. Perhaps you stumbled upon something else featuring Brian Brushwood or Justin Robert Young. Whatever brought you to this "BBverse", we welcome you!

The Essentials

This section provides a brief overview of terms. Please visit the articles for additional details.

  • Chatrealm - Fans of the shows which are broadcast live and actively participate in the chat room are referred to as "Chatrealm".
  • Diamond Club - These are fans that take Chatrealm to extreme and tend to follow Brian and Justin from show to show in a stalker-like fashion. Often, they will also follow Andrew Mayne, guests of the shows, and even others among their own ranks. Diamond Club is often noted with the <> symbol.

Show Time!

  • Frame Rate is recorded live at 6pm Eastern (3pm Pacific) on Mondays. You can watch live at live.twit.tv. Episodes are then edited and usually posted within 24 hours.
  • Weird Things is usually recorded Monday nights around 11pm Eastern (8pm Pacific). Although there is no participation with chat during the show, you can watch live and chat with other viewers at WeirdThings.com.
  • NSFW is usually recorded live at 10pm Eastern (7pm Pacific) on Tuesdays. You can watch live (and participate in chat) at NSFWshow.com. (A pre-show usually starts an hour or more before the scheduled showtime.) Episodes are recorded, edited by Tony Wang and usually posted for download within 48 hours.
  • Scam School episodes are recorded in batches in Austin (formerly in San Francisco) every month or two and posted weekly on Wednesdays.

Notable Participants

NSFW Episodes: Editor's Picks

We understand if you don't have hundreds of hours to go back and watch every NSFW episode from the beginning, so here are some of the best episodes to get you started.

  • #13, W1NNER GAM3S- Brian, Justin and Tom Merritt have the chatroom compete for them in a series of events including a photoshop contest and a viral video contest.
  • #36 Pr0blem Zolved!- Brian and Justin are joined by Sarah Lane as they play three of the best games that they've ever thought up.
  • #64 Now Apologizing Convention Attendees- Ride the biggest emotional roller coaster that the BBverse has ever experienced as Brian goes from a trending topic on Twitter, to fearing that his career is over.
  • #96 TWiT Ain't Nothin' But Pitches and Shows- One of the silliest episodes to date. Brian, Justin and Brett Rounsaville take over the TWiT studios to create a variety of new shows.
  • #117 The Power Hour- Brian, Justin and Brett are all together at Brian's house and drink a shot of beer every minute for an hour. Hilarity ensues.
