That’s a whole different kind of scary. Thanks for posting!
Glad you liked it! I sympathize with the urge to say “fourble” to excess. Once one starts, it’s easy to go overboard. Fourble. Fourble. Fourble.
As a relative newbie to the genre, this is one of the better episodes you’ve done. Although, I thought Mike was the listener, not the Thing. And I had to look up what a fourble board is, because I missed that part. Also they say fourble board way too much.
I’ve been thinking about his explanations of oil stuff. You discussed them on the show. But observe. It was not THIS: “So then we put on the thevenin belt. The thevenin belt is used to make the drill bit tungsten-resistent.” Instead it was THIS: “So then we put on the thevenin belt.” perfect pause. “Oh. The thevenin belt is used to make the drill bit tungsten-resistent.” And the timing of the voice acting was subtle and perfect. “So then we put on the thevenin belt.” and the pause is just long enough for him to notice that you’ve stopped following… Read more »
I was looking forward to this episode just because “The Thing on the Fourble Board” is such a great show, but you guys really knocked it out of the park with your insightful commentary. Your analysis really enhanced this listener’s understanding of (and appreciation for) the radio show.
Jesus Fourble Christ!! What a fantastic episode. Grew up in oil industry, so some of this was familiar, but this is just so perfectly written and acted, that it doesn’t matter. Had totally forgotten about poor, deaf Mike until you look up, and he’s got a gun on you.
Thanks for this. Hope there’s 50 more!
Mike eats souls or ‘life essence’ or something, not flesh. She didn’t eat any of those dead dudes or the pork chops.
This was a good show, up until the ending—-which didn’t make any sense at all. The guy sees that thing killed his co-worker, then he takes it home and hooks up with it? Come on–that was so stupid. That wasn’t even really explained, either. Other than, it was entertainingly creepy.
