SECRET BASE BULLETIN BOARD /// OCTOBER 2024 UPDATE (Patreon)

Congratulations. You survived spooky season. They call it spooky season because the sun starts setting earlier in the day and science still isn't sure where it goes. Hopefully it shows up again tomorrow! If not, well, at least you have the screen of whatever device you're reading this on to serve as your guiding light. Onwards!

WHAT’S COMING UP AT TOP SECRET BASE?

We've got a fun month in store on Patreon. If you're a paid member, you'll be getting the following...

A brand new episode of Pretty Good where Jon tells the story of a man's quest to set a world record

A one-off story that Seth found while researching a Prism. It's kind of an extension to that episode, but really it's just our chance to talk about a weird thing that happened back in the day.

A new episode of the Annex, also hosted by Seth, with this month's theme of "Air."

We're bringing back the mailbag! It's been a while and we've got some tweaks that we wanted to test out in case it can lead to something more fun and maybe even bigger. Details TBD.

I'm on the fence about this, but there's a chance we're also going to drop a bonus video. We recorded a second pilot of our new series "Reframe" (more info below) based on some incredible feedback from y'all, and while it was really just for internal purposes, I think y'all might get a kick out of it. Let us know if you want to see it and we'll figure out the rest.

WHAT’S NEW ON PATREON (OCTOBER RELEASES)

Just in case you missed something, here's some easy-access links...

PRETTY GOOD, EPISODE 17: I AM GOING TO FIX THE KNICKS.

Scattered...er: The noteworthy performances that didn't qualify

The Annex, Episode 6: ZERO/NOTHING

The Trent Tucker Rule Challenge - The Annex video bonus

Dorktown Column: Manny Ramirez vs. the AL MVP Award

WHAT’S UP IN THE WORLD OF YOUTUBE

Ok so as mentioned earlier, we're finally premiering our new series, "Reframe." It's our first time back in the studio proper since before Covid, which is very fun for us on its own. It's also a chance to tell stories that are less retrospective, things of interest happening today, and experiment with something a little different for us. So far, I am really enjoying the product but we're going to keep trying to get it right for y'all. When we released the first pilot here, the feedback was genuinely overwhelming and gave us so many productive thoughts to work with. We went back to the drawing board, learned from Weird Rules, and took another spin at things. We really hope y'all like what we've come up with.

"Reframe" will premiere on Tuesday, November 5th, aka Election Day in the U.S. so maybe it will be a nice distraction from whatever that day has in store. Otherwise, in case you missed anything, here you go...

We wrapped up the opening salvo of Scattered with a look at the worst of the worst as well as some of Alex's thoughts for fixing things (plus stories that just didn't make the cut)

Seth told the story of when the Dodgers' broke the hearts of Atlanta, then they conveniently went and did the same to the Yankees a few weeks later

Clara picked up the torch from Alex and Jon and made a Rewinder on when the Mariners reached the playoffs then had an absurd comeback against Toronto

Joe kicked off the NBA season with a Prism on Steph Curry, basically a reminder of what wasn't guaranteed. Plus an excuse to talk about Baron Davis back in the day

We also get extra Joe, reliving the night when Lamar Jackson left the game but not because he needed to take a shit for sure not that

We've also been having some fun in the YT Shorts world if you haven't checked that out. Rehashing some old videos, trying out some new content, just throwing a lot of spaghetti at the moment, but you can see it all here.

As for November on YouTube, other than episodes of Reframe, we'll bring back Scattered for a one-off, have a return of MVP, some NFL Rewinders and then an eye on December where we're throwing a tonnnnnn at the channel. That's just a tease though, more info to come.

That's all for today, we wish you well and hope November is off to a strong start for you. See you in the comments, love you.
