The Found *NSYNC Fan Fiction Radio Hour, Episode #18: There Will Be Blood
Friday May 18, 2018
Friday May 18, 2018
In the Found *NSYNC Fan Fiction Radio Hour, we chronologically read aloud pages of an anonymous author's *NSYNC fan fiction, from a binder found at a thrift store.
In this episode we welcome a guest! Sarah, who found the binder that we read from! The script today provides a real roller coaster of an episode, where Kelly receives a letter from her ex (delivered via Sarah Michelle Geller) with an update about how he has moved on but can never forget her. Then there is blood, a hospital and a major impulse buy.
Also in this episode: tumeric tea, getting the chocolate the fuck out of the peanut butter, the theme to Proud Family, actress/January 1999 Playmate Jaime Bergman, the casualness with which famous names are thrown around, spontaneously erupting into songs from Sister Act, slant rhymes being only for people who are confident, a voice that is the bridge between sad puppy and Nixon, the inability to tell the difference between a four month old baby and four month old fetus, Back To the Shit by Millie Jackson.
Here's the fake dog nose we talk about in this episode, that we said we'd post. Woof!

The Found *NSYNC Fan Fiction Radio Hour, Episode #16: Road Trip
Monday Oct 16, 2017

In The Found *NSYNC Fan Fiction Radio Hour, we chronologically read aloud pages of one author's *NSYNC fan fiction, from a binder found at a thrift store. As usual, we question the author’s grammatical choices, enjoy irrelevant notes in the margins, all the while Sacha accompanies us on his keyboard.
In this episode, Joey Fatone and Kelly (the narrator of the story) drive down to Florida to reunite with the rest of the members of *NSYNC at the band’s compound, looking forward to sharing the news about Kelly’s pregnancy with Joey’s parents. Once there, some kind of trainer or choreographer named Wade is subjecting *NSYNC to extreme workouts, yet Joey still finds the energy to enthusiastically flirt with Kelly. In order to give our full attention to both performing the text from the binder and hash out exactly what is going on, we make our way through potent caffeinated beverages from New Wave Cafe in Logan Square in Chicago. We postulate a new theory about the origins of the material in the binder, and it’s a doozy! Plus! New found notes in the margins that lead to hot leads and speculation about the anonymous author!
Also in this episode: Picardy thirds, lime Jello-cream cheese dessert with Vitamix, fan fiction read ASMR-style, Chicago street sweepers, the usual puzzling choice of stage direction placement in the text, I’m Not a Girl Not Yet a Woman as a proposed national anthem, platinum edging, “I can feel you breathe” on the inside of ring, Silent Night as background music, Connie Chung’s meltdown, murder ballads, the notion that there is a higher probability of the binder being written by an artificial intelligence than Lance from *NSYNC actually being entertaining to anybody, a town in Illinois called Kenilworth.
We said we’d post a picture of something we couldn’t read. We think it might say, “Thanks for the saxe.” is it possible the writer spelled sex wrong? You be the judge.

In Found *NSYNC Fan Fiction, we chronologically read aloud pages of one author's *NSYNC fan fiction, from a binder found at a thrift store.
This episode features Joey and Kelly arguing about who makes what noises in bed while trying to not disturb Justin Timberlake. And boy is he tired of Britney’s high maintenanceness. Russel Crowe is spotted at the deli!
The anonymous author’s handwriting is both praised and criticized, many ounces of coffee from Cafe Mustache are consummed, and most importantly, “Pop sensation” Sacha Mullin continues to do weird accents and sounds like he forgot English and then has relearned it specifically for this episode, while simultaneously skillfully accompanying on his piano.
Also not to be missed in this episode: bagels, singing melancholy songs in front of a bouncy house at an ice cream social, the Blue RIbbon Glee Club, hitting a G# by accident, Fuman Skeeto, putting both limes and lions in coconuts, mispronoucning words at integral moments, laughing so hard one puts one’s head down on the piano, donkey videos on Youtube, that SexyBack sounds like music from Mortal Combat, speculation that binder we’re reading from is actually the Necronomicon or maybe Marvel’s Darkhold book.
