RecapThe Bush

The Bush is Burning! The Hot Seat! — UFOs, a gopher on a skateboard, and one very docked hot seat

TL;DR

the one-minute version
  • Burningbush laid out real plans for Region Noir: a token-gated website housing every chapter (text + narrated + video), a season-pass mint, rare mints that claim a physical book at the end of season one, and a browser-based "Region Noir clue" game he and Dan are prototyping 1:26 / 1:24:28.
  • Season one is set at 20 episodes minimum; they're on chapter seven 1:24:28.
  • Last night's Showman set got replayed off the soundboard twice — crypto mori shilling, a two-minute silent "roadmap," and Canadians as the worst part of web3 10:32 and again 1:41:07.
  • Thrill took the hot seat, got docked five seconds for shilling his project, and was granted an unprecedented take two on Sho's mercy 54:45.
  • Chapter 7 of Region Noir was read live: Tim registered his UFO for compliance reasons, Super High got abducted for a phone upgrade, and a small gray gopher named Brad rolled into De Stefano's on a skateboard wearing a tinfoil hat 1:09:44.
  • Running gag of the night — Sho's earlier claim that men think with two heads — is now officially in the Region Noir character bible, which gets fed from space recaps 1:26:44.

Highlights

At 1:26

The Region Noir business plan, delivered to a nearly empty room.

Burningbush previewed the whole thing before the crowd arrived: a website where all chapters live, a season pass around 10–15, rarity tiers in the mint that auto-claim a physical book once chapter 20 lands, and a clue game if the mint goes well. Then he thanked "everyone" for the wealth of information, having received exactly zero responses.

At 10:32

Showman graces the soundboard.

Burningbush piped in the previous night's set. Showman opened by comparing the story to the Goonies, moved to a crypto mori pitch ("check your couch cushions"), and promised to get into the roadmap — which turned out to be a full two minutes of silence. Sho, hearing it for the second time, still called the circus music her favorite part 22:36.

At 14:46

"I have not financially recovered from 2021."

Delivered in response to Jed asking how much he made on the Crypto Morris token drop, and immediately requested for the replay. Burningbush promised Dan would have it in the recap — which, as Showman warned the room, is exactly the problem with Dan.

At 32:24

New York vs Polymarket.

Burningbush initially suspected Canada was suing Polymarket before finding it was the State of New York. DaFameless floated the bookies-don't-like-competition theory; Brad figured the whole thing settles either way, since "it's also basically free money" 33:39. Jed, later, ruled the bookie theory hearsay 1:37:11.

At 36:44

Brad opts out of the Drake–Kendrick discourse entirely.

Not a music guy, and especially not a mainstream hip-hop guy: these are all just famous men saying things he half understands. Sho co-signed instantly, adding that rap and opera land in the same bucket for her — "can't understand a word they're saying" 38:54.

At 54:45

Thrill's hot seat, take one and take two.

Thrill came up to "warm my cheeks next to the burning bush," then spent his 30 seconds describing his NFT-to-LP tokenomics and got the clock cut for a "slight casual shill." Sho negotiated a do-over; take two produced Buffalo, freelance web2 work, Shopify stores, and a Bills Mafia shout-out that Thrill scored himself +20 for. He then confessed he'd order a medium-rare steak at De Stefano's, which DaFameless rated "medium rare at best" 1:00:25.

At 1:01:50

The great two-eyes conspiracy.

Noting Thrill's robots resembled Minions, Burningbush escalated to whether everyone on stage is exposed to DreamWorks litigation for having two eyes on their PFP, then went to "legal correspondent Brad," who said he was still stuck on the part where everybody has two eyes.

At 1:09:44

Region Noir, Chapter 7.

The best sustained bit of the night. Dan knows a website that tracks UFOs (of course he does), and the object over Brooklyn is registered under the ID "Tim," because Tim believes in compliance and code. Meanwhile Tim has abducted Super High purely to get him a new phone, and Super High's hostage-sounding transmission — mostly because he keeps covering the microphone — sends the room into perimeter-planning mode around, roughly, Pennsylvania. It ends with a gopher in a blue vest and tinfoil hat skateboarding through the door: "I'm Brad."

At 1:24:28

Lyss gets the full update.

Burningbush confirmed the token-gated site, the second access token for text and narration, 20 episodes, and hard copies via Amazon self-publishing — a route Host (@HostXweb3) had just suggested as KDP and Dan had already landed on 1:26:03. Lyss called it exactly the kind of collaboration that makes her regen heart happy.

At 1:26:44

The character bible runs on recaps.

Burningbush explained that repeated quotes from the spaces get flagged and folded into each character's lore. Sho asked to see her profile; he told her she really doesn't want to, because the bullying gets logged at a volume that outweighs all the sincere things she says.

Notable quotes

I have not financially recovered from 2021.

Showman 14:46

When Dan's around, I'd be careful what you're saying on spaces because I'm pretty fucking sure this guy's recording fucking everything, guys.

Showman 20:03

Why is a man making a song about another man? What is happening right now?

Brad 37:20

When you commit, you commit to the bit... you can't half-ass this shit. Else it don't sound good.

Jed 44:38

It's my show, so the points don't matter, and I have unlimited points, so I am the bank, and I can never lose.

Who said what

  • Burningbush (@BurningBush_eth) — host, soundboard operator, and author of Region Noir; pitched the site/book/clue game, ran the hot seat, and read Chapter 7 live.
  • Sho (@AgogoKaren) — co-host, room resetter, and the night's designated instigator; granted Thrill his second chance, declined all invitations to Discord, and spent the evening being quoted back to herself.
  • DaFameless (@DaFameless) — co-host on steady deadpan duty; "medium rare at best," plus the bookies-vs-Polymarket read.
  • Jed (@jed_131) — called in from the Long Island Expressway, narrated the discovery of a pack of THC gummies literally branded "Sugar High," blamed Super High's mic for a missed exit, and closed with genuine appreciation for the Burningbush/Dan team-up.
  • Brad (@Brad1867) — Canadian correspondent and legal correspondent; cheerfully accepted all Canada slander, opted out of hip-hop entirely, and unknowingly got cast as a skateboarding gopher.
  • Thrill (@ThrillsOnHood) — hot seat contestant, Buffalo-based, docked for shilling and redeemed on appeal; arrived mid-Space and stayed for a noir novel he had no way of seeing coming.
  • Lyss (@Lysss302) — closing words, big on the physical book and the soundboard upgrades; also, per Jed, an excellent pirouette in the kitchen.
  • Host (@HostXweb3) — checked in from a rainy island deck with a newly repaired phone, suggested Kindle Direct Publishing, and asked the question everyone eventually asks about the 8-bit booties.
  • Dan (@brokenrealitydh) — left early, but the hour-and-a-half call with him is the reason the Region Noir roadmap exists; also, per Showman, records everything.
  • Showman — not live, but the soundboard's MVP twice over.

Worth a full listen

  • 10:32–22:10 the full Showman set. The pacing is the joke; a summary can't carry the two-minute silent roadmap, the pivot into Canadian self-loathing, or the exit line where he invites the entire audience to leave with him.
  • 1:09:44–1:17:49 Region Noir Chapter 7. Read straight through, in character, with the room silent. The bit where Tim's reassuring instructions ("move your hand") get transmitted as evidence of duress is better heard than described, and the gopher entrance genuinely lands.
  • 54:45–1:02:00 Thrill's hot seat. Five seconds docked, a mercy rematch, a self-awarded +20 for Bills Mafia, and a steak temperature interrogation. A good demo of what this show actually is on a normal night.
