- Learning to Instantly Fake Guitar Skills
E2Learning to Instantly Fake Guitar SkillsAfter all these years, Jason finally broke his original Guitar Hero controller by beating Jordan, which he is adamant is still the hardest song. When he looked up he saw a guitar on his wall but had to call Brian and guitarist Mario Alvarez to figure out what it was and how to use it. - Do Subliminal Messages Work?E3
Do Subliminal Messages Work?Brian and Jason got kicked out of their gated suburban community center for an illegal public broadcast of a Fight Club and They Live double-feature, so with all their now-free time they decided to program you all. Is it really free time after all? - The Essentials to a Five-Bottle Bar
E5The Essentials to a Five-Bottle Bar"Serve them a cocktail and they'll be intoxicated for a day; teach them to convert their kitchen into a bar and they'll be intoxicated for a lifetime and you've gotten rid of the liability because they're somebody else's problem now." - famous proverb - Creating a Dust Fire Explosion
E7Creating a Dust Fire ExplosionBrian and Jason found a treasure map scrawled on a wizard's scroll. So they followed it to the X and there it was. One lone beam of light shone down upon an exalted paint can. That paint can was none other than Mr. Wizard's silo explosion demonstration can, so they did what they had to do. - Converting Cheap Lighters into Flashbangs & FlamethrowersE8
Converting Cheap Lighters into Flashbangs & FlamethrowersBrian's been professionally doing ill-advised things with lighters since before half of you were born, so now's his time to shine... so to speak. Don't smoke, don't play with fire, don't use steak knives, don't break things, don't do crime, don't do danger. - How to Hit a Bull's-Eye on Your Very First Shot
E22How to Hit a Bull's-Eye on Your Very First ShotAfter terrorizing the streets of Austin with a "modified ballistics super soaker" by following the letter of the law but not the spirit, Brian and Jason were court-ordered to learn some proper gun safety and technique. - Melting Styrofoam into Knives
E24Melting Styrofoam into KnivesThe Scam Stuff warehouse is filled to the brim with styrofoam packing materials. After Brian got bored with swimming in the foam pit like Scrooge, he demanded we get rid of all of the styrofoam specifically in such a way that would also give him primitive weapons. Obligatory: don't do crimes, know your nation & regional laws. - How to Fight with a Longsword
E26How to Fight with a LongswordAfter unearthing the immaculate historical artifact commonly referred to as A Knight's Tale, Brian asked around to learn more about the sword thing. Little did he know, it was called a lance, hello. (but no the episode is about longswords) - 12-Year-Old Stunt Driver Teaches Drifting
E3112-Year-Old Stunt Driver Teaches DriftingWe all thought the sweltering Texas heat was going to kill us, that was before Brian got behind the wheel. Armed with a total training of having played Absolute Drift and talking to an intrepid 12-year-old named Dash, what's the worst that could happen? - How the Gable Grip Can Save Your Life
E32How the Gable Grip Can Save Your LifeBrian walked by some teens calling some other teens "ratchet" so he asked Jason what that meant and he didn't know. So he hit up Mikal who actually did know, but he thought it would be funnier if he told them it was just a choke technique. - Modding Nerf Guns into Overpowered Blasters
E33Modding Nerf Guns into Overpowered BlastersJason called Brian a "nerf herder," but Brian heard "nerf hoarder." After so long he just got tired of being debased as a nerf hoarder and thought that if he's going to be accused of it, he might as well enjoy the perks of hoarding nerf products. Look into your local and state laws, don't do anything stupid or illegal. At the end of the day, anything shaped like a gun will be treated like a gun. Stay safe! - What to Look for When Ordering Beer
E34What to Look for When Ordering BeerYou would think Brian would be pretty knowledgeable about beer having hosted a show for almost 10 years about getting beer for free, but Rubio knew something had to be done when he saw Brian constantly interrupting a bartender with, "YOUR PRODUCT IS SWILL," and "I DEMAND ANOTHER, BARSERVENT!" He just kept throwing dirty nickels down the bar trying to land them in patron's drinks, it was really uncalled for. - Y0urPas5word$ucks and Here's WhyE35
Y0urPas5word$ucks and Here's WhyBrian's "friend" hacked Jason's LotR Online account on first guess with "youshallnotpassword" and then "convinced" "Brian," who is totally not his own friend, to spearhead an episode on password security so that Jason can go back to securely hobbit frolicking or whatever else you're supposed to do in that game. - The Classiest Jello Shot on the Planet
E40The Classiest Jello Shot on the PlanetTrever left us to travel the world so that he could be trained a lost art in forgotten tongues. He scaled snow-covered crests and traversed ancient underground labyrinths in search of the gatekeepers. It was only after finding these Chosen Few, after many months of harrowing exploration, did he come to know the One Truth. Just outside the Temple of Exile, a place and time for which Trever knew he could never return, the eldest Few lay weak on his death bed. In his final moments, he confided in Trever what would become the last words he would ever speak. He leaned over and gravely whispered in his ear, "Old fashioned... jello shots." - How Speech Jamming Works
E41How Speech Jamming WorksMost people don't know this, but Jason was the two time back-to-back copycat world champion. He used to be able to mimic languages that hadn't been invented yet! But that all changed with the digital revolution. Suddenly people weren't so impressed with a kid from the burbs with a mouth like a mirror now that a computer could do it too, and with higher fidelity. It's been a hard road but he's finally at a place where he can talk about that experience, and maybe... even have a machine repeat him while he does it. - How to Survive a Knife Attack
E42How to Survive a Knife AttackBrian and Jason just kept yelling "KRAV MAGA!" while walking up and down populated streets in Austin until a qualified professional offered to teach them if they would just stop shouting. Should go without saying, yet here we are: don't be a jerk, use the system to defend yourself and don't just go attacking people. - Understanding German Beer
E43Understanding German BeerSo Rubio had some time on his hands, and German beer in them, so he concocted a devious scheme to perfectly re-create past Beerists-Modern Rogue episodes down to everybody wearing the exact same clothes, sporting the same beard progressions, all against the warehouse in as much disarray and just as disheveled as it was four months ago -- but this time, they have the German beer to drink. - Ghost Hunting TV Shows are BS (So Here's How We Made One)E44
Ghost Hunting TV Shows are BS (So Here's How We Made One)=== [ pair_of_normal_rogues_s1e01.mkv ] === summary: This week on Pair of Normal Rogues, Brian and Jason investigate a haunted wizard tower built on sacred land. There's something off about the caretakers of the tower, have these paranormal events driven them mad? ... or are these accounts of the supernatural just a product of their madness? - How to Hide Top-Secret Data in All Your PhotosE45
How to Hide Top-Secret Data in All Your PhotosJason logged onto Brian's computer to look up Brodyquest but he couldn't move the mouse without accidentally clicking on something lewd, improper, embarrassing, or incriminating. It's time Brian learned how to hide files inside of other files, for you know, safekeeping. - Krav Maga vs. Assault Rifle
E46Krav Maga vs. Assault RifleBrian opened up the command console, typed in the code 'smurfme' which turned all the weapons blue, but then the computer turned off in the middle of a save, which they really warn you not to do, and it un-digitized all of the weapons. So what better to do with a surplus of extraordinarily blue weapons, than learn how to defend yourself against them. - Sword and Buckler Fighting
E52Sword and Buckler FightingWe actually looked into getting a buckler just for everyday use so Brian could finally protect his hands, unfortunately Anthony and Bryant are all too familiar of Brian's reputation so they cornered the market in advance. Their one stipulation was to sit front row for another Brian and Jason duel, this time playing for keeps. (keeping the buckler, that is) - Understanding Cigars
E54Understanding CigarsINT. DIMLY LIT ROOM -- NIGHT We see Jason standing eager, faced towards a wall. Bundles of newspaper structure the room, stalagmites of old media. Looking closer we notice he's face-to-face with a poster which appears to be crudely taped to a full-body mirror. There's an uncomfortable silence. CUT TO: over-the-shoulder, the poster is J. Jonah Jameson and the eyes are torn out. Jason's eyes are perfectly positioned in the reflection. He grabs at the poster and sheers a wedge down the face, revealing a now-lit cigar in Jason's mouth. It's an identical match. JASON (triumphant, but also kind of a whisper) Not today, Peter... No, today I become something so much more.
