Opening Video
The episode opened with a video titled Welcome to Bonearth. The video was created by Soundwave, in response to last weeks episode.
After the video, they quickly introduced Joe Owens, the writer of the first compliment bomb. Joe explained what happened when we bombed his article.
"I was sitting around my couch around this time of night...I get comments on my blog through email, and my email posts through my phone. Around 10 minutes to 11....I saw the first one and it said 'A cat?!'. There was a comment almost immediately that said 'That cat was wearing Frog Pantz'....Suddenly my phone is buzzing incessantly....I walked over to my PC to see what was happening. I didn't know what was going on. Many of the comments were similar. I had 75 comments before 11 o'clock."
Compliment Bomb
The third try of the compliment bomb is for this article.
The site started to experience server issues at around 10:33. Just three minutes later, the whole site went down. Around 30 minutes later, 11:08, the site went live again.
As of 7th October 2010, the comments have been closed for the story.
Project Banjo
Next, Andrew suggested to tweet Steve Martin and ask him to play the banjo for the Internet.
The chatrealm did not get a response but in the midst of the tweeting madness, Steve tweeted that he wishes to bring the band back.
They also discovered that Steve is a fan of TWiT and follows Leo Laporte.
Live Weird Things
After mentioning the sponsor, they started Twitter scenarios sent to @WeirdthingsCom.
Andrew discovers oil underneath the warehouse – does he sell out or stay true to the magic realm?
- I need Justin to help me pack it up and ship it out of there.
One of us has died, how do they other people go about contacting the lost soul?
- Take corpse. Pack it in ice. Break into a medical facility. Get a MRI machine and kidnap someone to understand how to use it. Push the corpse into the MRI. Image the brain then use a CPR machine to pump juice into him. Then you will be able to ask yes/no questions.
Would you donate your organs to a "Cannibal Cafe", if you got paid 7 times the normal organ donation and received it that day?
- Andrew: No
- Justin: Yes... and he'd also sell Andrew's organs against his wishes
Sponsor
Justin didn't know what the sponsor was for tonight so he guessed "Pan American Airlines" and "Braniff Airlines". When he finally figured out that it was Carbonite, he explained that you can use Carbonite to keep your plans for growing your clone army and constructing a giant space station safe. Even government agents raiding your house using nerve gas couldn't ruin your data.
