Short Story Bingo 20 - "Haunted House in Chino, California"

*Explicit Content* In this episode I read out of, "Strange Twist of Fate".

 

It is that time again. Short Story Bingo is not slowing down with the material to deliver. This week is no different as we read from a true story of some paranormal phenomena! Time always tells how much we are working. That is why the new year of 2018 is so fun to look at with optimism. Thank you so much for listening on the revamp of the BEST podcast in the world.  In this episode I read about a specter that makes sure to let the family that inhabitates the house he could not leave that he has no intention of leaving soon.  While reading this I must admit that I had some memories pop up.  I know what it means to have an entity attach itself to you as I have expereinced it myself. This has been one helluva ride, and I can't wait for what the future holds. Happy New Year to all of you! This story will make you think about what is going on in your home and what thhat creak in the stari might be. Midway through I felt a chill in my spine, this runs the gammit of being a classic as it tip toes the line of being so real to touch.  With that in mind...Sit back, take a load off, or listen on your ride to work, take your shower, whatever activity you find yourself doing - ENJOY a new episode of Short...Story...Bingo!

Short Story Bingo 19 - "Frank Sinatra (Mob Ties)"

*Explicit Content* In this episode I read again out of, "The Mafia: Encyclopedia Second Edition".

 

Hello you beautiful listener you.  Welcome back to the coolest podcast in the entire world. I have no facts to back up that claim but I have heard it once...I think.  Anywho...I was driving through the snow here in Salt Lake City the other day and Frank Sinatra came on, the Christmas specials.  Of course with that sultry baritone voice I felt warm and filled with the Christmas spirit.  So I decided why not end this Christmas season with talking about Frank and dive into his ties with the mob.  Funny story here, he knew pretty much EVERYONE you should know in the 50's and 60's, from Mob bosses to presidents. This guy was truly an entertainer who gleamed in the spotlight.  I don't condone alot of his actions but, he made it out of that time frame without much tarnishing to his name. Oh, and I left a little Christmas diddy of his at the end that is sure to make for a nice listen.  With that in mind...Sit back, take a load off, or listen on your ride to work, take your shower, whatever activity you find yourself doing - ENJOY a new episode of Short...Story...Bingo!

Short Story Bingo 18 (W/ Mandy Chacon) - "A Psychological Experiment"

*Explicit Content* In this episode I read from, "Great Horror Stories: 101 Chilling Tales".

 

Damn, are w ereally only two episodes away from #20?  16 days away from 2018? 261 days until my birthday (09-03)?! Yes! They are all true. Another thing that is true, my wife and I laugh our asses aff all the time. This blip of time is no different. I finally got her on the show after 17 episodes! She did great and I am sure, will be back on soon. Her laugh is infectious and her wit is sharp as the best of 'em. You are withoubt a doubt are going to fall in love with her little chuckle. She told me that she wanted to read a horror story or an extra funny one, and since I know most of my fans are into some of the crime stories that I am - we went with the horror genre.  This story was published in 1900! Yeah, you read that right. Richard Marsh was a master of his time in spine tingling thrillers. In, "A Psychological Experiment" a stranger returns from the dead to invoke fear into his killer. It has moments that are vivid, impactful, and a twist that makes you say, "What?!"  With that in mind...Sit back, take a load off, or listen on your ride to work, take your shower, whatever activity you find yourself doing - ENJOY a new episode of Short...Story...Bingo!

Short Story Bingo 16 (W/ Joey Montes & AP) - “Busted! A Thanksgiving Mystery Short Story”

*Explicit Content* In this episode I read a little diddy called, "Busted! A Thanksgiving Mystery Short Story".

 

I want to say thank you to ALL my family and friends that made the Thanksgiving weekend memorable.  I love you all.  Now that we got that out of the way, let's get back in the Bingo sessions!!!  So, Joey, AP, and I actually recorded two episodes in one night. This is the second...obviously. I wanted to read a mystery to get out of Thanksgiving to some degree but also stay in that vein in the same. Enter - Gail Farrelly and her wonderful pieced story centered around the fowl holiday - no pun intended.  This is a modern piece that provided some great laughs and intriguing moments.  Sit back, ride to work, take your shower, whatever activity you find yourself doing - ENJOY a new episode of Short...Story...Bingo!

Short Story Bingo 15 (W/ Joey Montes & AP) - “The Wampanoag Side of the First Thanksgiving Story”

*Explicit Content* In this episode I read an article, "The Wampanoag Side of the First Thanksgiving Story".

 

I am happy you made it this week. Welcome back to Short Story Bingo; Thanksgiving edition!  I searched for a native perspective of how the whole thing went down.  We don't shy away from the truth over here at SSB.  I am a big proponent of family getting together at any occasion, but I am not so keen on how the "first thanksgiving" really happened.  I have Native friends and family so this holiday always seems a bit contrived for me.  Nevertheless though, I sat with two of my friends, Joey and AP for this episode.  We yet again let the story speak for itself but it is hard not to take some time to comment on the nuances. We kept it short and sweet and ended with a new song from AP, called, "Bottles". Link is below!

Short Story Bingo 14 (W/ Zac Ivie) - “Constantinople"

*Explicit Content* In this episode we read out of, "Amazing Tales for Making Men out of Boys"!

 

Hey you...yeah YOU, are you just as excited as I am for this new episode?!  Alright, I might be a little worked up about it, but it is hard not to be for this history lesson.  I sit with my friend on this one, he happens to be a pretty talented Hip-Hop artist also, Mr. Zac Ivie.  We dive into the history of the wall that protected Constantinople.  This got a little Game of Thronesy, I won't lie if you are still not caught up on the last season of GOT thenprep yourself for a spoiler alert halfway through or so in this episode.  Sorry, not sorry.  Anyhow, enjoy this latest episode and listen in on us making jokes, drinking beers, and making some weird points throughout.  Love you all!!!

Short Story Bingo 13 - "Dancing Like We're Dumb"

*Explicit Content* In this episode we read - once again - out of, "The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror 23"!

 

Happy Halloween...AGAIN!  Another month is in the books ladies and gentleman, that's right, 2018 is that much closer.  Thinking of your resolutions yet? Me either.  I say, worry about the present.  The verb present, which is what you are receiving with another episode of, Short Story Bingo! This story, is my favorite to date.  "Dancing Like We're Dumb" is written by Peter Atkins, who also wrote, Hellraiser: II, III, IV!  In a very modern tale in LA, you can feel, smell, and picture vividly.  I swear, this story had me from the first sentence, as it begins with a description of a carjacking in literally something that I would have wrote for like a GTA bit or something.  It stays very compelling throughout, weaving in and out of the present and five hours before to detail how Kitty got in the position she is now.  Please excuse my little sniffles every now and again, I am a tad under the weather but made sure to get this out for YOU, 'cause i'm a soldier and no mucus will hold me down!

Short Story Bingo 12 - "They Die Nameless"

*Explicit Content* In this episode we read another gem from, "The Creepypasta Collection"!

 

Happy Halloween!  Yes, this time of the year always provides a good spook or two, candy that you hope hasn't been opened, and scary stories to scare your friends or yourself with.  We dive back into the CreepyPasta series with this episode.  "They Die Nameless", is a story that captivates and low-key educates at the same time.  I was intorduced to new historical figures in Akhenaten, Sekhmet, and King Tut's dead miscarriages. Yeah, I said it.  Well, technically the story says it.  Anywho, I am very happy to be back on track, shout out to Canada as the newest leader in DL's amongst countries other than the US.  This story is chilling.  Not much to add to that, except, imagine fading into nothingness.  Losing all your friends, family, etc... This story follows a very eager, drivern, and young scholar who fell in love with his career.  Curiosity get's the better of him and well, he opened pandora's box, which in this case is a sarcophagus.  You will hear what I am talking about.  It gets funky...quick!

Short Story Bingo 11 ( W/ Dirty Pete) - “The Tower”

*Explicit Content* In this episode we read out of, "The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror 23"!

 

I strolled my happy ass into Barnes and noble recently to go pick up, "The Art of the Donald".  Seriously - I did.  Instead I got lost in the short stories and damn mystery/horror section again.  Mind you, after watching, "IT" I was itching to read something scary. So, in short, fuck you Donald, a short ass fictional story won that purchase escapade. I quickly was enthralled with all the new authors I was being introduced to, the new takes on horror, and just a big ass book full of content to introduce to you all!  Mark Samuels has a very expansive vocabulary and a way to breakdown a location so well.  "The tower" will show you that.  In my attempt to pronounce words that I was just reading whilst also keeping pace with the momentus story line was a pleasure. This is a psychological thriller, which is not a spoiler, just saying don't expect anything all gory and overly apt to depict a ghoul that is at times way to over the top anyway.

Short Story Bingo 10 - "Tim 'Doc' Anderson"

*Explicit Content* In this episode we read out of, "The United States of Absurdity" about Tim 'Doc' Anderson!

 

This book, "The United States of Absurdity" has quickly become my favorite. Mostly I think because I love "The Dollop" podcast by Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds. Nonetheless, this story they portray of a man that just wanted to have a real shot at being a big time boxer in Tim Anderson is kind of heartbreaking. Currently serving a life sentence from a murder charge that he does not remember even committing , he has quite the story of rise and fall.  I sit alone on this one.  This may be the last one on my home setup as I am working out a deal with a local studio for the podcast.  BUT if it is not...I thank you for dealing with these stories in not the most ideal recording environment.  S/O to Japan!

Short Story Bingo 9 (W/ Will Wonder) - "A True Story"

*Explicit Content* In this episode Mr. Mark damn Twain makes another IMPRESSIONABLE appearance with, "A True Story"!

 

Originally released in 1874 and titled, "A True Story, Repeated Word for Word As I Heard It."  This is written in the language of a slave woman of the times who is dealing with a very damaging experience of her son being taken away from her at his early age.  Now I must say that I was very, 'in character', as I read this one and loved every second of it.  My friend Will Wonder and I had a hard time understanding some phrases and what have you but we still managed to get through the story with some laughs, some cring worthiness, and just another round fun with a great story to read!

Short Story Bingo 8 (W/ Will Wonder) - "A Dream of Red Hands"

*Explicit Content* In this episode we take a dive into the mind of infamous Bram Stoker in , "A Dream of Red Hands"!

 

This story is not quite, "dracula", which is not what I was expecting as it was anyhow.  But I will tell you that this certainly takes an emotionally short rollercoaster of its own.  I was joined in this episode by my good friend and DJ, Will Wonder (@DJWillwonder), him and I share some laughs whilst being taken aback at the progression of the characters.  Being that this story was originally published in 1894 I am surprised at the longevity of it, asin, that it stil reads well today.  Having said that, press play, enjoy, like, share, rate and subscribe!

Short Story Bingo 7 (W/ Ben Stine) - "The Sandman" (CreepyPasta)

*Explicit Content* In this episode we read another creepypasta classic, "The Sandman"! 

 

We are back in action you beutiful people!  Creepypasta.com is a gold mine for some of the creepiest stories I haveever read.  "The Sandman" provides a look into a dark fear of losing something so close and not having the power to reverse things. Wonderfully written by Tam Lin, we are taken down a path of no return.  While I was hoping James, the father,  would have just taken his son Daniel out of the home to help the situation, I understood that the story would not have had the same impact...obviously.  My good friend Ben Stine and I sit down, have a few laughs, a few adult beverages, and a whole lotta fun!  Press play, enjoy, like, share, rate and subscribe!

Short Story Bingo 6 (W/ Angie Chacon) - "The Comedy of Errors"

*Explicit Content* In this episode we read a little Billy Shakespeare in, "The Comedy of Error's"! Buckle up.

 

Back in the building and ready to rock as always for the SSB audience!  We dive into the mind of William Shakespeare.  Truly a patriarch for writing playwrights, it was a must to and will be in the future of course reading the stories that he depicts.  I was a little weary about messing up names as that can be the case with vintage ones like Aegeon!  This story starts a little confusing, especially if you were to just read through it.  But, because we don't do that over here I was able to slow the pace a little so that we can all witness this story come to life.  Two brothers, two servants, one father, one mother, and one "fat friend"...Angie and I dive into this head first, you'll be glad you joined!  Press play, enjoy, like, share, and subscribe!
