Well, I had such a good streak going for a bit, but life... finds a way. This episode was recorded around 6 months ago (whoa), so we're finally almost through the old recordings. In this episode, we hit a very important milestone, Teague makes a very special gift for the listening audience, Brendan unveils his new vigilante persona, Teague's new job, chemical burns, a magic hate-cat from the comics, and Steve's Quality Market. Hey! Hope you enjoy it.
With an episode from some time in January, we finally get into our double-digit episodes! We're pretty nearly out of these super-old eps, so soon we're not gonna make outdated topical references, except for the ones we intentionally make, like in our real lives. Somehow, this is one of our shortest episodes. Maybe even shorter than the minisode. HOW?
Another quick note about part of this episode, we spend a few minutes talking about the Youtuber JonTron. I just wanted to mention that neither of us has ever been particularly familiar with this guy's videos, and this was recorded BEFORE I was aware of his racism. In this episode, I thought he was just a regular-style moron. Sorry about that!
Otherwise, we totally miss our own dumb Christmas in July joke, talk about how Teague's (now former) boss is the best to a scary degree, Dead Gentleman's Dark Dungeons/Attack The Darkness and how JonTron is too stupid to understand them, The Eternal Friendly's Gift Card, Bren can't say Lin Manuel Miranda's name, fucking up a knife real bad, and a Very Trustworthy Health Supplement. That's a lot of subjects for one of our shortest episodes ever!
Hello! We're back! Maybe! Probably! Temporarily? I hope not!
GOSH I missed us. I finally found the time/the willpower to get this episode edited. Just checking my notes... Yup, we recorded this one in 1974. Little late, sorry you guys. Get ready for some severely out of date topical goofs maybe. The first 2 and a half minutes are weirdly prophetic. Also, we're sick, and it's fucking gross. We talk about illness, both physical and mental, Teague catches a Squirtle, The Giga-Loaf, how much we like Black Mirror, which mostly turns into us talking about British actors we like, the fact that we were TERRIBLE students, AND we explain the origins of our deadly feud with Audible. *COUGH* enjoy *COUGH*
Okay first of all, whatever man, you're not our boss. Ain't nobody our podcasting boss. Second of all, hello! We made a mini-episode because we missed the sounds of our own voices so much. Gosh, we are crazy busy in our real lives. And hey! that's a thing we talk about in this mini episode. We also talk about brunch politics, earworms, and the best name for a certain kind of shop. Plus, we finally figured out a sign-off! We're very excited! It's very stupid! Come be excited and stupid with us, won't you?
Check out this big-ass waffle iron, too!
Man I don't even know when we recorded this one, gang. And who knows if it was worth it. You know how we have no idea how to end an episode? This one stands as a monument to the fact that we don't know how to start one, either. Plus, this one is a little short, because some time bandits came back from the future and fucked up one side of the recording. COOL MOVE, FUTURE. Although if it makes you feel any better, mostly we just talk about Brendan having an existential crisis, and even though his side has a lot of laughing and I don't remember what I said, there is almost no way it would have been fun. Although I do know I was talking about chicken burritos to lighten the mood at one point. But before that happens, we discuss shitty neighbors, and... I already forget what else and this one is a hot mess. Just listen, or better yet don't. En...joy..?
Also, here's Bren's crazy icon of some dark god of steel and industry.
Hey, remember us? I sure don't! No but for real, this episode was recorded so long ago that I didn't remember any of the stuff we talked about. And I still don't remember anything from when I first started editing the episode forever ago. What even is this podcast? That question will become more urgent, and yet even more unanswered as you listen. From what I have heard, we talk about a really big guy, we don't bother to explain why it's been so long between episodes, how Brendan likes throwing me under the bus, a very, VERY spooky forest, and we introduce a brand new segment!
Hey if you're listening to this, and you were bummed out that it's been so long since we released an episode, THANK YOU! Seriously, it's so weird and cool that anyone checks out this strange little thing we make together. I hope it makes you laugh. I don't care if it doesn't, though. Episodes should become a little more regular again, since we've got a couple stocked up, and there isn't so much keeping us from working on the show anymore.
What! Another episode already? "Is Christmas here already?" we hear you ask. Haha, no way, stupid, even better than that! It's Teaguesday! What's Teaguesday, you ask? Just listen and find out! Also, technically it was yesterday, but like gimme a break, I was busy. It's a shorter episode, in which we discuss the reason for the season, Hat Quest, how to buy booze, both Dungeons AND Dragons, the nerdiest thing we've ever talked about, and fictional languages. CONLANGS, that's the word I was searching for, GOD.
Happy Teaguesday, everybody!

If you weren't bored out of your skull by our D&D shop talk, or you just like awesome things, and haven't seen this awesome thing yet, you NEED to watch JourneyQuest!: https://youtu.be/pVORGr2fDk8
Howdy! How was your holiday? Ours was... interesting. We recorded a whole episode in a car. Perfectly safe. We talk undead ranking, weird ramen shops, tiny doors, being useless at work, and our most hated rival podcast. Eat up!
Phew! Here it is, the not-remotely-anticipated fourth episode of BLBB! This was recorded back on the 14th. Are we ever going to release an episode on time, we hear you ask? What are you, our mom? Get off our backs, will you? In this one, we talk hanging with 5 year olds, impressing our bosses, punk rock in all the wrong places, and the worst dead animals we have ever fucking seen.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
Towards the end, we get serious and talk about why we didn't release an episode the week before, and we get our feelings about the election off our chests. it starts right at 45:45, so if you don't want to hear any more about that madness(or god help you, that's all you want to hear), that's where you find it. It's a good bit longer than we intended, to be honest. It even includes a little piece of a chat with our dad, and then it ends with a soothing song to relax to(that starts at about timestamp 1:10:00 or so).

Coming to you from the same room, with one of us inside a cardboard box! We're late again, but we're also pretty sure our listeners are all imaginary. SUCK IT, voices in our heads! This week, we reflect on Old Scratch in the movies, talk about stupid cupcakes, get covered in a cat's blood, try to fix that thing that happened in college, and go on forever about a movie that no one else saw and liked. Enjoy it or don't!
Hey, we switched up our intro and outro music this week to see what it sounds like. Please let us know which intro/outro you like better! I know, it's hard to choose when all the options are written by the best band in the world. Speaking of, head over to https://biglittledipperdipper.bandcamp.com won't you?
Look at these stupid things:
Work! Technical difficulties! Sleeplessness! Other excuses! An episode so late it's spooOoOoOoky~! We're releasing this on Halloween, the same day we're recording the next one. Oops. Our bad. And to be honest, we really jump the shark on this one, being that it's episode 2 and we've already killed off 50% of the main cast. What are we, The Walking Dead? We talk death, living METAL, the sound of pouring coffee, and like just a real jacked up hedgehog. Enjoy, won't you?

Hello! It's our inaugural episode, and right out the gate we're here to prove to you two things; that we don't know what we're doing, and that one of us thinks about Weekend at Bernie's way too much. We try out some segments, catch up on what's weird, and forget to explain what we're doing for a while. Enjoy?
