Not everything has a reason. Sometimes chaos is the answer you choose for a question no one asked. Hi, we had best-selling author Jason Pargin on the show, and to remind everyone about his upcoming book, Zoey is Too Drunk for This Dystopia (which you can pre-order), we played a full Dogg Zzone 9000 episode-length Seanbaby's Book Game. It's the beloved game show normally only heard by supporters on our Patreon, but today it's for everyone. Listen here! Or anywhere you get podcasts!

The rules are simple and the goals are impossible. The players, Brockway and Jason, roll a die to decide their fate. This part they can't control, and it determines which book Seanbaby opens. Then they choose a number between 1 and 101 to decide their fate again. This part is merely the illusion of control and it determines which terrible thing they get. The object of the game is to land on these real, published pieces of humor/advice and score points when they are useful or fun. Let's look at the books pulled from the extremely cursed 1900HOTDOG library:

A roll of One leads into 101 Things To Do During a Dull Sermon, a foot fetishist's guide to getting kicked out of church. Two sends them into 101 Things You Need To Do While You Are a Child, a carelessly assembled series of notes a Polish maniac copied from an article about things to do while you are a child and accidentally translated into death hexes. Rolling a Three opens the book 101 Wacky Computer Jokes, a 1998 grandparent's best guess at how you make puns about office equipment. A Four unleashes 101 Uses for a Bridesmaid Dress, a 0-note joke shrieking as it's torn apart across infinite time and space. Five is 101 Ways To Say "I Love You," an instruction manual for needy retired wives with no hobbies or self-respect. And a jackpot roll of Six gets you 1001 Best Pick-Up Lines by Don Diebel, a series of worst-case scenarios for the women passing as briefly as possible through your life.

In this great game of destiny, will Jason and Brockway find anything useful? Anything fun? These are the stakes! These are the battlegrounds! This is Seanbaby's Book Game!

You know games typically have winning conditions, right?

Haven't listened yet - on a scale from "boomer Karen with undercooked steak at Olive Garden" to "90s Harrison Ford", how mad did this podcast make Jason?

Scribbler Johnny

Use the bridesmaid dress as a toboggan? That's not how either of those work

Horkheimer is the name of the stargazer, I think

Bridesmaids dresses are ugly, man, this is basic hack

Gamergate was definitely the point where a lot of people realised just how many people around them weren't laughing ironically at their ironic or edgy slurs.

I'm a day late on this one, but I have the exact same broken soul problem Jason has where I look up horrific subreddits out of morbid curiosity. I used to go on all the classics like r/incels and MGTOW before they got banned and then all the small little spinoffs. What I'm into now that's kind of in the same vein, is looking at the comments on TikToks of women giving dating advice to single men. I am not single nor is the dating advice usually anything groundbreaking, but you will find some of the most depraved pity-goblins in the comments. They are all in competition with each other to say the saddest most pathetic things possible about their own lives. And I am addicted to reading it. The woman in the TikTok will say something like "Guys, if you want to meet women you have to go out and have fun at places. You can't just sit inside and watch TV all day." Very fair. But then you go into the comments and some guy will be like "I am TIRED of women persecuting WE men for OUR interests. TV is the only place we can escape the horrific reality of being a man in today's world. Through TV we can live life, go on adventures and feel loved all away from the judging eyes of the modern world!" I read that and I just go "good lord" and move on to the next video. Also Nicolas Cage has been married five times.

"Always a bridesmaid, never a bride." You are always second, never the winner. That's why the pity.
