Request Line: Twisted Steel (and nothing else)

INT. TEENAGER’S BEDROOM – DAY

HUNTER RENFROW is seated in front of his gaming station, playing Grip: Combat Racing.

The lights in the room are out and he’s wearing headphones – he could not be more fully immersed in the game without being inside his double-sided, powered-up speedster.  Suddenly…

DISEMBODIED VOICE: HUNTER….

HUNTER RENFROW puts on a quizzical expression as he taps his headphones, but otherwise ignores the ethereal voice.

DISEMBODIED VOICE: HUNTER RENFROW…

HUNTER RENFROW: Not right now, Coach Pierce, I’m practicing for my driver’s test.

DISEMBODIED VOICE: HUNTER, I AM NOT YOUR COACH.  SEARCH YOUR FEELINGS.  YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE.

HUNTER RENFROW: [chuckles involuntarily] Seriously, though, who is this?

DISEMBODIED VOICE: HUNTER, DID YOU FORGET SOMETHING IMPORTANT TODAY?

HUNTER RENFROW freezes.  His vehicle continues driving straight until it crashes until several other vehicles and his game ends in a huge conflagration. 

HUNTER RENFROW: Oh, no!

His main monitor (there are three) flashes blue for a second and then the screen fills up with…

HUNTER RENFROW: Oh no oh no oh no!  Oh man they are gonna be so mad at me…

DJ 3000: IT’S ALL RIGHT, YOU CAN RELAX, I’VE GOT THINGS COVERED.

HUNTER RENFROW: Oh God thank you thank you thank you!

DJ 3000: I’M NOT GONNA LET YOU GET FIRED FROM YOUR DREAM JOB.  BUT I AM ABOUT TO TAKE THE SHOW LIVE AND I NEED A TOPIC.

HUNTER RENFROW glances around the room frantically.  His eyes return to the computer he’s seated in front of.

HUNTER RENFROW: How about…uh…car accidents?

DJ 3000: CAR ACCIDENTS?

HUNTER RENFROW: Yeah.  I mean, it might be a thin field, but…can it work?

DJ 3000: WELL, WE WERE PRE-EMPTED BY THE OLYMPICS IN THE MORNING, SO IT’S A SHORTENED SESSION.  YEAH, I THINK IT CAN WORK.  GOT SOMETHING TO GET US ROLLING WITH?

HUNTER RENFROW: They’re a bit of an obscure band, but can you dig up a little Beulah for me?

DJ 3000: CAN DO.  I’LL SEE YOU BACK IN THE STUDIO NEXT WEEK?

HUNTER RENFROW: Hundred percent.

Today’s theme is “car accidents”.  It’s probably a pretty thin topic, but do your best!  Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?6uDmUNd5d0Tt!r and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  Last week’s puzzle answer of “Absinthe Party at the Fly Honey Warehouse” by Minus the Bear was once again solved by BeefRiverLives.  Now let’s get this show on the road!

Look, I’ve been nice so far. Do you want me to beg?

Well, Fuck. That.

Join our little fantasy fitbawl league: the tWBS Memorial Lowatio League

Here’s the link: https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/209105/invitation?key=3a07144c86507a29&soc_trk=lnk&ikey=79d23a09c66a6ad9

Will there be Big Turks and shitty vodka for the winner? No. But I am open to suggestions.

Top 4 from the Lowratio League move up to Freezer Vodka League. Bottom 4 from FVL get to join the LL.

Time is running out. There’s one spot left.

It’s yours.

If you have the /appropriate reproductive organs/ to just sign up.

This is about NOT drunk driving, so not sure if the Raiders would allow it

There’s a guy at this airport bar wearing a shirt with Josh Allen’s face and buffalo wings on it.

Has anyone seen Rev?

Dunstan might be the only other commenter that has heard this. Maybe Litre. Head On (Collision) by Toronto.

Also, am I ruining the puzzle for everyone? I don’t want to spoil the fun by being an insufferable know-it-all.

Should I stop trying on the puzzles, or hold off for a few hours to give others a chance?
