 Word Funk (Podcast)
comment
A podcast created by Renegade Cut creator Leon Thomas and hosted by Leon Thomas, Austin Yorski, and Johnny Maloney, created to replace the Blistered Thumbs podcast. It contains the three hosts talking about games, movies, TV, other news... and very random subject topics that don't really connect with anything, from fork tines to The Loch Ness Monster, and from pulling Big Foot on a jetski to the Racial Police. If you like things that have a coherent formula and actually make sense then this is really not the show for you.Each episode is named after something someone said in the podcast, often from the topics that are randomly brought up, such as 'Iron Man Vs Bigfoot', 'Muppet Of Death', and 'Swiggity Swag the Nightmare Stag'.In October 2015 a spin off Dungeons & Dragons campaign under the name Dice Funk began airing. Usually gmed by Austin, with Leon and Johnny in seasons 1-3, Leon came back for season 10.Click here for a comprehensive list of all their episodes.

The Cameo: Not in the show itself, but Johnny appears as a character in FTL: Faster Than Light, Wasteland 2, Shadowrun Returns, and possibly more. In fact, Austin argues that he is the true villain of Shadowrun's Dead Man's Switch campaign.

Only in Florida: Austin is perhaps the Patron Saint of this trope. Highlights include getting into a fistfight in church, living in a hotel, and finding human remains (!) in the woods. Many of these stories originate from the BT Podcast, but they pop up on Word Funk from time to time.

Spiritual Successor - The show is essentially BT Podcast 2.0. The main difference is Leon's editing, which keeps each episode to an hour's length (instead of 2 or 3 hours).

Hypothetical Fight Debate
 Word Funk (Podcast) / int_39899a44
comment
Hypothetical Fight Debate: Both an in-show and out-of-show example. Comments disagree about who would win in a three-way fight between Leon, Austin, and Johnny. Some think Johnny's martial arts training would prevail, while others side with Austin's size advantage. No one has faith in Leon, including Leon.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Karen Prescott, the Skype Bot that contacted Leon during an episode, with Leon following it's randomly generated phrases with threats to throw 'her' out a window, and even quoting the famous 'Tears in the rain' speech at it didn't throw 'Karen' off it's stride . The three presenters then get cross at it for apparently having a 2 month Christmas break.
