As a bunch of video game nerds, we've played a number of different game systems. Where do they land on this list of the best, and do we think they chose correctly???
For our special 150th episode, we're gonna talk about our most-listened to episode. I couldn't remember why I titled it how I did, and finding out was... interesting.
Some Jive-Ass news that caught my attention recently. How weird is your world? In this day and age?
I came across a few odd, unique facts that show our little city of Fresno in a different light. Anyone out there have a thought or two on what our name claims to fame?
Recent news has the U.S. government admitting to a decades-long knowledge of space aircraft and "non-human" beings. Does this mean that my species is soon to be exposed?
A spy amongst us! Busted!
Beth, Marc, and the Jive-Ass Alien discuss what we've been reading lately.
Here's another unexpected movie review. Haven't seen this one in some time but felt the need to check it out and show it to my nephews. Is it as good as I remember? Kinda?
Here it is, the final states that do and don't listen to the Jive-Ass Alien and my ramblings.
Just so happens that the Jive-Ass Alien has seen the newest Mario Bros. movie, as did Beth and Marc. What did we think? Overall pretty good, now hear how it compares to the 90s version.
Almost done with all the 50 states, promise. Pretty surprised at all the states that listen to us though, thanks a bunch.
We're back to hating-er I mean praising the states that have liked our show, at least once.
Let's talk video games and things we like, or don't. Who doesn't like hearing of older people complain of how things are now? Or how they used to be?
So all my effort to get Beth and Marc went way worse than anticipated. Beth could barely stay awake thru the episode...at least the Lego set was cool.
Been a while but we should probably finish up our celebration? Something to maybe salvage this year???
Marc had me on his podcast to wax poetics about Batman vehicles. Unfortunate that a mighty pillar of Marc and I's Batman love is gone from here...
Getting ready for the holiday season? Bump that, I wanna play now! Beth, Marc, and I discuss our neverland game plan.
Just in time for Halloween, Beth, Marc, and I (briefly) talk about Halloween specials. Who knows, maybe it'll give some of our international listeners ideas for a movie night... especially our boy Yuri! We will win you back someday!!!

{Puhleeze check out their shop, if for nothing else then just to see some random nostalgia. My silly antics (and lack of visual media) do not do them justice...}
Somehow Beth, Marc and I whip up this trainwreckish of a Simpsons/Halloween episode...Gets kinda dark at times, perfect for the season???
Tried so hard, and got so (not at all) far...in the end, didn't even mattererrrrr...
...ahem, yeah Marc and Beth said big ole NO on Seinfeld so unless we somehow convince Beth's friend to talk some spit the talks of Seinfeld shall for now be withheld.
Except for part 2 of this, unfortunately...
What better way to start a new season with continued rambling and nostalgia. Also thought I'd share some sweet droplets of desperately-needed useless trinkets for this jive-ass broadcast. Straight 100 eps of real, authentic bologna...
What a world we live in, where a Jive-Ass Alien can get stranded and make a quirky little podcast that somehow farted out 100 episodes. Well let's see how much more we have in the tank.
When I decide to try and take on Hollywood, what kind should I make? Well I recently caught a few old and new that be just what the doctor ordered.
I've been itching to get another movie going, ever since our take on Nosferatu. Let's see what we can get going. Next stop, Hollywood!
Beth, Marc, and JAA expound on the unfamiliar relationship between drugs and music, I think, for the most part anyway...
Beth, Marc, and I discuss how the drugs our parents warned us about, just might be the future of medicine. Any excuse to trip far out, man 👽
Beth and I finish up our fantasizing of cooler weather that is soon to come...unless the world implodes on itself, whatever...
If anyone thinks it's bollocks to start celebrating XMas around before Thanksgiving, let alone Halloween then, it's only fair to start celebrating Halloween while middle of the year. Beth doesn't seem to mind one bit...
Pretty hilarious that the few potheads I know wouldn't play this game with me, which is marketed directly at us, err I mean them, yet Beth and Marc were up for the shenanigans. Duck yeah!
It turns out Beth & Marc have lots more ideas for this Jive-Ass Alien to report back to his home plane- er, to make a documentary for Earth humans. Yes, that's it 🤫
The 3 banditos are always hungry for some tasty new tidbits that we can share. As I've observed earthlings for some time I have found some to be of particular interests.
We keep the good times rolling with the game about inventions that would make us billions (in lawsuits).
The Unholy Trinity that is Beth, Marc, and I imagine what Simpson character we best identified or identify with.
As Beth, Marc, and I discuss the mundane activities that have kept us (questionably?) sane, I realize just how extensively they contribute to my bliss (AKA ignorance to the MAX)
We start a streak of games, here with one where the goal is to create inventions for the most mundane of inconveniences.
There's always board games being released that catch my attention. Although many of them take lots of setup there are a few that I couldn't resist buying them, even if I didn't have the people to play. Beth, Marc, and I try one out.
Cars are one decent way in which humans are better than animals. Still, wish I could fly...
(Found that original silly picture here https://images.app.goo.gl/z8qoai16DS7QK3eSA)
(couldn't find artist of the pic, too bad cuz it's hilarious, want to see more)
Unintentionally Beth, Marc, and I talk a lot about that controversial topic, you know, chronic, Mary Jane, devil's lettuce, yuppi tea, sweet leaf, ganja, Scooby snacks, power plant, cheeba cheeba?
Who knew books could be of some use? Looking forward to expanding our libraries in the coming months.
Beth listens to an old fart whine about the aging process. Geez, when did humans start to buy into the madness!
Beth, Marc, and me show what might be the start of an enlightening endeavor. We enjoy reading to certain extents and maybe our choices will give insight into our funky behaviors.
Wasn't planned to be stuck on Fresno love for many episodes but there's just so much gosh-darn neat-o tidbits of our city that our worldwide fanbase might enjoy...
We finish up our list of some fun activities that can be done in Fresno. Some of these I look forward to trying and some get a big thumbs-up from Beth and Marc, while one gets a big fat hell no.
Even for many that were born here in Fresno, there's lots to do that many have yet to experience. Need some ideas? Here are a few, from some jive-ass people...
To show that Beth isn't brainwashed by some Disney cult, here are some stuff that really grinds her gears.
Though our schedules don't always align we managed to find an hour for 3 of us to get together. Will our questioning bring about some deep, dark secrets we've tried to suppress???
Beth, Marc, and I discuss some of the topics that I've come up with using the don't-break-chain method. Yes some of these (ok probably all of em) aren't winners but that's not the point.
We started off reading some more of Marc's adventure. Does he make it farther than our other times? Do ya even care? Well we take some mo stuff so check it out.

Turn that life that's burning to the ground, upside down...or something.
Now that the fake kind spiriting of the holidays are over, time to improve oneself. Stumbled across this neat habit to develop into small but significant strides towards making yourself into a better version of yourself. Or just some BS to have a laugh at, either way I'm satisfied...

Been a while since I dove into the cesspool that is know as the online dating app world, so let's give it a go. Will I be scammed, will I actually message to and from a REAL person? It's possible...
I sit down with Bash and a pal of his to try and find some common ground, ideally to try and keep on reaching higher ground.
Beth, Marc and I have also worked on other projects (well one really, but want to do so much more) and brainstormed on more, will they come to fruition?
What a year it's been, thanks to everyone who tunes in (and extra thanks if ya read this)
Bash listens patiently as I summarize a Batman comic to him...
... it's as exciting as it sounds...
We bring up some of the music that keeps us grooving thru life, and maybe some Robin Williams love.
Sometimes talking about what we believe can get heavy, so Bash and I go ahead and engage in some less heavy topic talk.
I've always been intrigued by conspiracy theories, regardless of the strong opinions one way or another. Basshizzle brings his take on one that just doesn't seem to want to go away.
Now we get into the meat of why driving appears to have become less important from when we first grabbed the wheel.
One of the few actual joys I have on this planet is putting pedal to the metal and exploring best I can. Earthlings, however, continue with degrading driving abilities, which Beth and Marc help me explain...

Though I don't have a serious stake either way, I've always teased Beth about her Disney fandom. Now I ask myself if any of my stances have any truth.

Beth, Marc, and I wrap up this themed holiday run with us watching a cult classic. Spoiler; pretty good

Seems that since The Nightmare Before Christmas movie came out people have been adamant about what holiday it belonged to. This won't make it any clearer but it's silly enough to be worth a listen.

We both like this show, has a Homer Simpson, Marge, Bart and Lisa Simpson, think it was called, "The Silly Family" or something 🤷🏻♀️

Somehow we get around to finishing up Beth's list of movies she loves. Was she paid by big movie studio? The truth is out there, look to the skis...
Trying to get a better idea of the type of movies Beth is into, she's prepared a list that might surprise, well, me 👽
Talking about probably my favorite subjects; music. Having such a complicated relationship with it (and the one I've had the longest) music is intertwined in my soul. Therefore it's perfectly reasonable that I would both love this particular album IN SPITE of who's it supposed to be by.
Beth's great idea paid off big time. We had lots of experiences that are yet to be seen. Puts a lot in perspective.

Here's something I've wanted to talk about for some time, my time in the military, and with witnesses.

(original image, I changed the wording at bottom)
Beth and I share some of our deepest, darkest secrets...with a frogurt!
Still stuck on this planet so I guess I'll try to repair this human skinsuit I'm trapped in. Now that I think about it, perhaps the time I put it through rigorous military (basic) training is a reason for it to be in such a pathetic condition at the moment...
I try to justify watching a show that justifiedly was already was a favorite of mine, but further research and recent rewatches that I justify with some good old research. I think the show was called...
"Fire in The Hole"
Beth wanted to see if I'm a man of my worm (meant to say word, obviously, but this flub is aces 😄) and yep yep yep yep!
July 12, 2020 was when the first episode of this show was released. Very cool, thanks to everyone who tunes in, means a lot 🤘🏽👽🤘🏽
Is this an end of an era? Keeping up with the Jones'? So many choices now when back in the 1980's-early 90's color choices for the less wealthy was...not so good.
Beth and I started recalling all of the childish, immature behavior we (used to) do that we don't seem to remember where we got it from. Now that I think about it, there are a lot of people that owe me a damn coke and now I'm mad!
We completely goofed and left out 2 of our favorite Simpsons characters, some that we constantly quote to each. Time to fix that.
Beth and I have Marc join us for a group discussion about the gentlemanly tradition known as concerts, where level-headed individuals gather together to pay respects to our beloved musicians.
We wrap up the first go around about who would make a better Batman. It's something I've thought about before and my pal Bash thinks he has a better claim to the mantle, hmmm...
Getting ready to continue my "Better Batman" argument with my friend Bash we start talking about what he considers to be the best movie of all time (or his favorite but not best, which could not be the same???) so I try to set him straight.
We drop so many Simpsons references in our episodes but to Beth and I our love for that show goes far beyond the, shall we say, healthy?
(PLEASE go watch the Cowboy Bebop/Trigun fanmade clip on Youtube, it's awesome! Includes Japanese rap? Nuff said)

I don't have as much knowledge of Monty Python but it is absolutely some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen. Beth schools me on so much since apparently I don't know as much as I assumed.
For no particular reason it has been some time since we last spoke with Marc, so let's hear his car history...
My admiration for Earth's silly combustible contraptions, that humans willingly climb inside of or straddle with their genitals just above it, has been an important part of my assimilation. Always going, forward, sometimes back, smooth sailing or choppy waters, constantly striving for that exhilarating rush that only the open road can provide...
Beth sits this one out since she's not a fan of the spittle and drooling that occurs when I talk about the "Bat"-looking "Man" (trying hard to not get sued!) so a BUDdy from work, Bash, joins me since he thinks he'd be a better substitute for "he who shall not be sued by." I've probed more knowledge than he has so advantage Jive-Ass Alien, yeah?
One of the surprises I have discovered about Beth thru these shows is that she is a fan of the Avatar anime. Heard a lot about this show before so I asked her to provide a summary and it's definitely got some cool attributes.
In as little chaos as possible for Beth and I, we attempt to talk about the video game experiences that have shaped our lives.
Although I've never shied away from enjoy cartoons (even if I didn't let people know I watched some weird ones) I could never really get into anime. It might surprise a lot of people but since it first came out the Simpsons has been near and dear to me; what a surprise, I know! I've always had friends who would talk about anime and very recently I come to find out that Beth was actually a big fan of some that I had actually heard of so I asked her to do an entire episode about anime, and there's still more to come!
And yes, it was recently my birthday but now it's too late and it's no big deal and I'm an alien anyway so what does it matter so just listen to the dang episode already and just leave me alone!
The first month of 2021 is already over and I wonder just what the heck it is gonna look like this year.
In a move that she is absolutely regretting, Beth (w/ Marc) agrees to listen to my story of almost getting scammed by some lowlife using the good wholesome name of a former pornstar. Yes, of course she has either a "K" or "X" in her name (or both!)
Messed up wanting to do a wrap-up of the show so far, so me and Beth do what we do best and improvise (crashing and burning, but with style).
I've wanted to do an episode where I actually stop and reflect on the conversations that we've had on this show. Not so much a "best of" but more of the perspective of someone who is more of an outsider, such as my sis
As I attempted to use this episode to sum up our respective year we descend into some easy convo, so enjoy, we'll get it right next time, scout's honor ;)
Thank God year's almost over. Not just because of that thing (you know the one) but so family time is no longer available 😎
Jess never forgets her punk roots, evidence of her tenacious determination, quiet but powerful, like a mother Raven who sits humbly in the shadows of the trees. What?????
Wanted to talk all about the wild west and why I'd like to have lived then, but it gets loony.
(Did you like it? Want to hear more? Got 30mins more that kinda doesn't follow the theme but there's some good stuff, so if we get 20 downloads on this episode I will release the rest)
In these times of family gatherings, which are frowned upon for the most part, it's perfect for getting some truth out of one another.
Now we start to get a better-rounded idea of what went on in our upbringing, how about yours? Takeaways, regrets, precious moments, etc.?
Beth and I make an amazing discovery. All I'm saying is if you've at least been distracted by our soothing sounds as you're being tormented on the toilet by some vengeful spicy food, you should definitely check this one out!!!
Beth and I get to the nitty-gritty of how we are in sync (answer: Shitty Roberts). Trying to have one last hurrah at tying up any loose ends of my alienated mentality. After this, what's left???
Me and Beth dig up more of our adventures working at storage facility. We can only recall so much at a given time before we risk brain hemorrhaging so more to come.
No particular reason why the (Green Day) dookie theme persists, but recently a fan mentioned liking the show so much that they listen to us when on the shitter (DM me for photographic proof ;)
Really starting to get a picture of why I feel alien, or at least when I started to ease up and actually try to understand myself. Sobriety had to come and go but eventually I focused on my well-being, first the one that had been neglected for so long; mental health.
Continuing on with the Cliff notes to my life's story. This episode begins my transformative years from finishing school and what to do with my life, and really if I'm to be alive at all. First of the next batch of episodes where I bring myself and everyone tuning in up-to-date with how I got to today; check it out!
Beth helps me get enough content to make this a fun listen. Keep checking for more content sooner rather than later.
The first of a double-donger of an episode. Nothing too gross, like Beth said, "I don't think any lower of you than I already did"
Lighthearted PG-13 look into what I've learned about the birds and bees
Many people have asked, nay, DEMANDED that I upload something ASAP, but every 2 weeks is what I can handle at the moment. Appreciate all the support and I will keep the goodies coming, swear on your graves!
Beth sat this one out as I quickly bring in other siblings to make my outsider persona more clear. Great Scott, they're multiplying!!!
Shout-out to djcruzctrl for hooking me up with tjust the right music vibe.

Starting to take shape. Jumped a little all over the place but now I'll expand on what little of my childhood I can recall, hopefully not too much moping... probably...
As usual, trying to accurately convey my chaotic thoughts so that anyone can kinda get at least a shred of what I'm thinking...
