What's been your favorite thing
to happen in the Modern Rogue so far?
I think it's when we got recognized twice,
at the barbecue joint the other night.
Yeah, that's when you want to get recognized, 
is when you're stuffing your face.
And someone's like,
"Excuse me, I love the Modern Rogue."
And you're like, "That's great, kid!"
[sloppy eating noises]
[gluttonous monster]
"Don't look at me!"
[laugh]
Sauce.
You look like you got bad lipstick, around, just...
[eating noises]
Potato salad dripping down my chest.
You're not even eating it. You just sitting there,
going, "glub, blub, bleb."
Yep, like,
>> "Oh you like the Modern Rogue do ya?"
>> Why, yes I am from the Modern Rogue.
[cacophony of Modern Rogue intros from the past]
[synthetic robot voice]
The Modern Rogue wants to be profitable.
Hey guys, I'm Brian Brushwood.
I'm Jason Murphy.
And for over a decade, we've been playing with this collection of ideas
that finally has coalesced into something
we're so, so proud of, the Modern Rogue.
It's really simple, if Houdini, and Macgyver, and James Bond had a baby,
that baby would be the Modern Rogue.
Oh and think about what they would know.
They would be the perfect fusion of gentleman, warrior, and scoundrel.
We've been making about 70-ish episodes so far, with one hand tied behind our back.
Yeah, here's the big secret.
This is not our day job.
But we'd like it to be.
It's been only nine months
since we launched the channel,
and during that time we get to do deep dives, into
[robot]
Experiments.
It's like 70% isopropil alcohol.
It'll turn into, like a sludge.
>> Jason: Isn't this what you've always wanted to do?
>> Brian: It really is, this is in
every way a childhood fantasy.
[robot]
Builds.
>> Brian: Oh, man.
>> Ahh!! They're heavier than I thought!
>> I deeply-
Ahhhh!!!!!
Haha!
[robot]
Explosions.
>> Wow!
>> Hoo-hoo!
[robot]
Spycraft.
You always see in the movies,
how people search for bugs?
>> Yup.
>> This is how.
This a real thing?
It's a real thing!
[robot]
Debunking the occult.
>> Brian: Aha! You're pushing it!
>> I'm not!
>> I know you are!
>> I'm not! I'm barely touching it!
>> What are you talking about?
I'm barely touching it!
You're pushing it!
Whaha! No, I'm not!
[robot]
Whiskey.
Taste is subjective, and you can't-
if I said, what's your favorite food?
I like shrip cocktail.
Okay, well I've had a shrimp cocktail.
You're wrong.
[laugh]
And the best part has been seeing the community come together right there in the comments,
but we want to build a better clubhouse for you guys.
We want to build some sort of cabal for us to all corroborate and cooperate.
I think you're describing a thieves den.
I'm okay with that.
I don't think it's an exaggeration, to say that in the 15 years we've been doing projects together,
The Modern Rogue is far and away the most interesting, fun, and honest of the projects we've done.
Yeah, and we are unfettered, we don't have anybody telling us what we can or can't do.
Which brings us to this moment, starting a Patreon.
The more people who join, the more we can do.
Once we have a proper rogues gallery, and this becomes our full-time job,
so much is possible.
Extra episodes, behind-the-scenes content,
exclusive live streams,
and of course, huge discounts on the merchandise over at scamstuff.com.
Don't forget limited-edition merchandise,
like a t-shirt that says,
[mockingly]
"Wow!"
[light laughter]
Wow!
Wow!
Wow!
We've given you everything we've had, we've held nothing back, the Modern Rogue is now in your hands.
Yeah, don't break it, don't screw it up. We're trusting you.
[stammering]
What's to screw up?
They just become patrons, and then they join the rogues gallery. We create a community, we take over the world.
It's a fool-proof plan!
Okay, you're right. They're fine.
Don't break it. Don't screw it up. We're trusting you.
This is about my fan fiction novel again. Isn't [it]?
You- every chance you get to bring that up,
every chance.
I'm telling you it's gonna be amazing, feel it out,
you got to get the whole mythos, right?
First of all the dark crystal is part of the canon,
so the Skeksis and comes to a different dimension,
they show up in battle armor, they meet Tony Stark.
Tony Stark tries to fight them,
but then they bribe Tony Stark,
because what's his weakness?
Money.
He's a power-hungry money-grubber.
>> Are you having a stroke?
>> So they get him in the--no, I'm fine.
So they grab him, they steal the armor,
they wear skeksis battle armor,
they end up showing up
all the way in the Star Wars universe,
>> Jason: I don't think this is the other take that-
>> which works because it's all part of-
>> -Brandt was asking for.
>> -the Disney property, right?
So then, they formed and then they discover the force, at that point,
It's not even about at trial by storm, 
>> You're gonna call cut at any time?
One of you want to call cut?
No-no! I haven't even gotten to Voltron yet!
So Voltron shows up,
and the four--five lions,
>> Is the battery dead yet?
>> the five lions,
No-no-no,
but he fights the Voltron that's made up of all the cars.
>> Is the battery--is, it's not dead?)
Because remember the car Voltron?
That ghetto version of Voltron,
that's the bullcrap one.
All right, but then, the Thundercats show up,
and then the eye of--the eye of Sauron sees the eye of [stammering] sight beyond sight.
[gradually fading out]
Give me and then--thunder, thunder, thundercats.
>> Eye of Thundera.
>> Okay, but yes, but.
[fading to unintelligible]
