Time Tapes: Part 2: Velocity VHS

Time Tapes: Part 2: Velocity VHS

Etriiip returns with Cesar and Paul to continue what we began in Time Tapes Part 1: A Case of Cassettes.


A detective with memory loss, hunting the truth about his past, an army of robot nuns, an expensive sound track and LOTS of explosions. The story so far: 

After the Archbishop dies, the army of robot nuns sets out on a quest to find his killer. Meanwhile, the detective's head injury still prevents him from remembering that HE is the chosen one, and Mr. T and Jefferies are abroad, causing havoc. 

This story is the second in a five part series of TIME TAPES.

[RE-RELEASE] Time Tapes: Part 1: a Case of Cassettes ft. Etriiip

[RE-RELEASE] Time Tapes: Part 1: a Case of Cassettes ft. Etriiip

In anticipation (there's MAJOR hype over hear folks) of our upcoming Part 2, 3, 4, and 5 of Time Tapes, we present to you a re-release of a classic Offer story so good, we wanted to make sequels!


Time Tapes: Part 1: a Case of Cassettes. A detective is given two versions of an illegal art deal gone bad--it's up to Detective Jackson to sort the truth from the tapes--but it all goes astray when he finds the scene of the crime... has not been disturbed in hundreds of years.


Thus begins a mind bending (entirely improvised) journey, battle, and struggle for survival--nay--struggle for purpose. With beloved characters like the itchy Jefferies dealing in illicit time travel tapes, a mysterious buyer known only as "Mr. Tapes," -- "Mr. T"-- and an ancient order of robotic nuns--there's something here for everyone to enjoy. 


All March is Time Tapes sequels! Listening to this certainly isn't required to enjoy it, it'll help track all the characters. 


Part 2 is coming tomorrow! Get hyped!

032: The Way We Are (Tribute to Daytime TV!)

032: The Way We Are (Tribute to Daytime TV!)

This month on the Offer: each week is a tribute to a beloved genre of television. Curt Mabry joins Paul and Cesar to create a trashy late afternoon/early morning talks show. 


What could better suit this dramatic moment in world history than a dramatic talk show host like Courtney Crox. She brings on only the best guests, with the best codpieces, who bring the most sexual appeal of any greasy singer you've ever seen. 


This tribute comes via TV or TB: your guide through the greatest untold gems of the television world.
