Listen "TAPE 31 - "The Bubble Games""
Episode Synopsis
A surprise reconnection by telephone leads to the discovery of The Bubble Games — a loosely defined series of recreational events that seem to involve hand shoes, bubble ingestion, and poorly supervised air drops.The episode’s main event is the Hand-Shoe Race, a high-risk game where participants place shoes on their hands, raise them skyward, and attempt to run around without colliding with heat sources. From there, the rules grow increasingly vague. Another featured event involves drinking homemade bubble solution (described as “mostly soap and vodka”), burping or farting, and hoping for a prize-winning bubble.A magic trick is performed — badly — over the phone, involving the Seven of Diamonds and absolutely no follow-through. A baking metaphor derails into a debate about putting jam in a pan, followed by a recipe that seems to include all-dressed chips. Meanwhile, someone reports receiving 44 framed photos of the same man via Dropbox, which is not digital in this context.Finally, when pressed about their surveillance capabilities, a source claims to use hawk eyes — real ones — preserved in a hawk skeleton mounted above the mantle.Key Moments:The Hand-Shoe Race: “Don’t tie your laces. Takes a week.”Homemade bubble tonic (vodka + soap = organic?)Magic trick featuring one card and no resultsAir drops include snack food and unidentified men in framesBinoculars replaced with literal hawk eyesThe town of Bootstuck continues to ignore its own reality, favoring games that defy physics and deliveries that defy explanation.Send us a textwww.bootstuck.com
