Trailer?

Hello hello my many adoring fans...my somewhat good amount of adoring fans....my very few fans. Anywho this is Alex, the one whose Internet broke for the last few weeks. That makes communication very difficult for us. It is still not fixed yet (AHHH). As you know I am usually in charge of the site. While Taco man does editing etc. etc. So please excuse the lack of a trailer. I hope to get my issue straightened out soon so we can be back on track. You probably noticed that a trailer was not posted. I would make a quick trailer...but I don't have the audio file and I'm at my mother's office and she does not have any kind of audio editing program. I would also like to apologize for the feed change...yet again and of course this has to happen when my interwebz doesn't work. Doing a podcast is very difficult sometimes -_-. I think I'm getting it fix soon, so Taco man doesn't have to do everything but write the scripts (but he did a great job on the sorry episode). Once again sorry for my disappearance, I hope to fix it soon. The next episode will be excellent. It's one of my favorites. Also we are no longer in need of a female vocalist because...well, it's not enough time to release a Valentines episode. It's a real shame because it is a good one. Next time...please participate whydontcha?

Episode 10: The Password Is...

Hey everyone, Taco Man here again! Alex is still having technical difficulties, so it looks like it’s my turn again! Sorry about this post being up a day late, but better late than never! So this episode was actually recorded after 6, 7, and 8, but before 9. And, this is our first episode with a guest appearance! Royce is featured as Lt. Serge!

This episode starts off with Red taking a step off the S.S. Anne, and then it takes off. Too bad Red never got to relax. He attempts to use cut, but loses it in the nearby sea. Luckily, Blue is nearby to cut it down with Ivysaur. After a quick pep talk from the guy at the entrance of every gym, Red somehow opens the doors.

And this is when Lt. Serge comes in! He is the perfect American, and therefore must show how American he is by echoing every time he says America. And also one funny thing about when Serge and Sparky challenge Blue and they mention Red, Red shows off his stupidity by making weird noises. I had originally intended that to be about one second long, but I started laughing half way through. Instead of stopping, I worked it into the episode, I just couldn’t help but think of Red just walking around in a circle by himself looking at the ceiling, just making those noises when he originally came to battle a gym leader.

Anyway, after Serge challenges Red and Blue to a battle, he talks about the war he had been in. If you listen closely, when Serge mumbles the name of the war he was in, he says:

Serge- (mumble mumble snarf mumble) War!

That’s because Royce really likes Snarf from Thundercats, just like Master of Rock. Also, the battle of “America” is actually a mix of The Vietnam War, the Bay of Pigs, The War on Terror, The Great War, and The Boston Tea Party. That would have been quite the American war, if it happened. After Sparky suggested a battle of smarts, and Red agreed, Lt. Serge gave up and decided to play…Super Password.

We had originally intended to have some sort of classic game show theme to be playing in the background, but we couldn’t find a good one that looped well. So we finally decided to go with the game corner music. Also, it’s a good thing that Red went along with the “battle of smarts” thing, or he would have gotten crushed. Maybe Red is smarter than everyone thinks…NAH! He’s probably just lucky!

After Red gets extremely lucky at Super Password, Lt. Serge gets really mad and storms off, hiding under the bathroom sink. And that’s when Brock comes in! He swears his revenge on Red in the Rock Tunnel, which is a side of Brock we have never seen before. It’s rather surprising, can’t wait to see what happens in the next episode! In the recording of this episode, we had actually said Rock Cave instead of Rock Tunnel, and we had to re-do it only a few days before actually releasing the episode.

Finally, after Blue wins in a “battle”, Red and Blue finally get their badges. And sadly, Blue is put on the stone in front of the gym, like he always is…better luck next time, Red! Next week, Red goes through Rock Tunnel, and will most likely find Brock there! This should be…interesting…

FAVORITE LINE TIME!: “And remember to smell everything before you eat it”

Also, a few news updates. The Poll is finished, and here are the results. Fishy won by a landslide, and Misty came in a distant second. Vote on our new poll!

Also, this is the last chance for anyone who wants to be our very first female voice actor! From the looks of things, it doesn’t seem like we are going to be able to do the episode we want to, but if you are interested, please contact us at redsquirtle1@gmail.com

And last, but certainly not least, we have changed feeds again. We have gone back to our old feed, so for those of you who use iTunes, search “The Red Squirtle”. The bad feed has been renamed “The Old Red Squirtle” so there will be no confusion. For those of you who don’t use iTunes, we can be found on MyPodcast.com. Sorry for the inconvenience, and hopefully this will be the last time we have to switch feeds!

Episode 9: Vikings Awesome Adventures Part 8

Hey everyone! Alex is having some technical difficulties, so it looks like I'm gona write the blog post this time! So, Alex has been saying how everything after episode 5 was recorded out of order, and this episode is no exception. Ironically, we started recording Episode 9 after Episode 10 was all finished.

This episode was an original idea, straying away from the actual story line of the game (kind of like episode 5). We figured we had to have something special happen on the S.S. Anne, and since the whole "ship sinking" idea was taken by the Anime, and Pirates was a bit cliché, Vikings would be the best idea.

So, on to the episode. This episode, instead of having the normal "Red Squirtle" intro, has the intro to some series following the adventures of a ship of Vikings. This is apparently the 8th episode in some podcast called "Vikings Awesome Adventures", and is interfering with Red Squirtle. They had gone to some place called "Newbark Town" and took Root Beer from someone named "Elm"... hmmm, sounds like the Vikings were off in some far off land named Johto to me.

Anyway, the episode begins with Red telling Olaf about a story Squirtle told him. Sound familiar anyone? Then Olaf goes to "get a glass of water" for Red. As a side note, did anyone notice the references to a certain video game called "Lost Vikings"? Olaf, Erik, and Baleog? Viking theme, anyone? Eh, whatever. Anyway, while Red and Olaf are singing about not getting a glass of water, Red sidetracks and says:

"I'm, uh...water...BATHROOM!"

And Red leaves Olaf in the dust. Too bad for Olaf. So once Red finds Squirtle (pikachu) in the kitchen, he runs into the Blood-Seeker, Baleog. Master of Rock voiced him, and as soon as we gave him his inspiration "the strong, silent type", he instantly decided to go with the voice of Batman. Baleog says to "Hey you", directly followed by Squirtle saying "Pikachu!", and then a laugh track. In case no one got the joke, there was a game called "Hey you, Pikachu!" for Nintendo 64. There was a microphone attachment, and you could talk to the Pikachu in the game and tell it to do various tasks. Alex and I had a lot of fun playing that game, and we nicknamed our Pikachu "Squirtle" for no reason. This is where the inspiration for nicknaming Red's Pikachu "Squirtle" came from, and we thought it would be even funnier, since red already has a pokémon named Squirtle.

Then the un-original part of the episode. By that, I don't mean we completely ripped someone off, it just has more to do with the story of pokémon. Another battle with Blue! In the game, Blue's picture looks different than it has in the past, and he looks more serious. Of course, we had to include this, and the reason for this transformation is because he is a VIKING! Blue's Bulbasaur evolved into an Ivysaur, but too bad Red is oblivious to the fact that pokémon can evolve. I wonder what Red thought Blue did with his Bulbasaur...

After that, Red finds the Captian's Room, and discovers that all of the Vikings are leaving. But they forgot someone! Brock! This is were Red finds his Pidgey, the most under-appreciated pokémon Red owns. Ironically, the most under-appreciated gym leader had it. Who just so happens to be Red's most under-appreciated friend. Funny how things work out like that, huh?

FAVORITE LINE TIME!- "Well I'm the seeker of...uhhh...what sounds cool...SOUP! Ugh, why would I say that?"

Look forward to next episode, Episode 10. It is certainly one of my favorites so far, and we have a special guest! If you want to be a special guest, email us at redsquirtle1@gmail.com. We still need a female voice for an upcoming episode in February. So if you just so happen to be female, and you want to be in an episode, shoot us an email! If we don't get anyone, we can't do the episode and we will have to skip it!

The Red Squirtle Episode 9 Trailer

episode9trailer.mp...

Here is the trailer for episode 9, which will be up next friday. Look forward to what will happen to Red who is locked up with no Pokémon!

SURPRISE EVERYONE! We have a new special treat. Every once in a while, on the weeks a normal "The Red Squirtle" episode isn't released, we will have a special episode. At the moment, there are two: Prof. Oak teaches Pokémon, and The Misadventures of Jack. Look forward to more!

Episode 8: Explosive Cargo

More time passed since we finished episode 7. Episode 6 was still incomplete but we needed to do more. So we decided to continue onto episode 8.

This episode takes a jab at sitcoms, you know with all the laughter at not funny parts. So that was the "Joke of the Episode". The episode begins with an officer scolding Red that he was gonna break the law. What a weird law that is, NO YOU CAN'T CUT IT DOWN WITHOUT THE USE OF A POKEMON. Then officer Benny reveals to Red that "cut" is on the S.S.Anne. When Red gets on the boat, he wanted to go

"Down the hall and to the left"

But he gets distracted and forgets...poor Red. He finds himself in the kitchen and the three chefs say something familiar....well to Disney fans it may sound familiar....That's right it's from the song "Be Our Guest" which is from the movie "Beauty and the Beast". Speaking of the chefs, the three chefs was all three of us (including Taco Man... the guy who is Red and Squirtle....that's pretty much it). Later when Red battles the guy with the funny accent and the both send out their pikachus, I absolutely love the pikachu conversation followed by the laugh track. I thought that that part was funny. Poor...ummm...trainer guy, Don't you hate it when your pokemon forget their moves and replace it with explosion. And don't you hate when your pokemon blow up for no reason at all?...yea me to. Red makes a remark that Voltorb probably can't learn electric moves, well....he's right. In generation 1 Voltorb can't learn electric moves by leveling up, poor guy.
Later when at the front of the boat, Oh we got Trouble, right here in Vermilion city (boy I sure hope someone gets that reference) It all begins with a non pokemon song starts to play and the line

"WHAT'S THAT IN THE DISTANCE"

I like how we make a joke about the Minnesota Vikings and then a few days later, they went on to destroy the Giants (sorry Giant fans). The music we used here was from a game called "The Lost Vikings"...yes we did that on purpose. The line

"Fresh Roasted Farfech'd"

Is quite the tongue twister. We had to rerecord that line because Taco Man stumbled on it.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger. Red is trapped and his pokemon are now gone as well. What will he do? Well...come back this Friday for a trailer for episode 9 then wait another week to see the epic conclusion!

FAVORITE LINE TIME- "MAGNE(BOOM)"

We are still looking for female voice actors! Please consider! We want to do this one episode, but if we don't find a girl voice, we can't do it. IIf we don't find one by February, then we will just have to skip the episode.
