The Rookie #18
February 6, 2007 _ Scott Sigler

Quentin lead the Krakens to victory in Week Four, but at what cost? He was hurt on the last play, blow to the head, and carted off the field on Doc’s medsled. Will he be back for Week Five?

Short episode this week, but I have four promos to fill up some space and make you think there’s more going on here than there actually is. Just be fooled, and humor me, dammit. Podcasts mentioned in this episode:

Ooooo!!! I smell a Sci Fi channel deal coming on line!!!!!! WOOOO!!!! Have they finally learned the error of their ways? Sukaz!

Jesse

You know where Im gonna take this. At least hes on time. Yeah only 15minute episodes on time, but on time. Hey scott. We wait with baited breath.

SphinctOr

It’s cool…
I guess you have a life too.
And by “too”, I mean just you.
I’ll be over here swinging from a rope…

-sniff-

CrackerBob

Fucking SHIT, Sigler!

Noize

Scott,
It’s cool. Wasn’t expecting the ep today anyway, what with yesterday being the freakin Bowl. If you spent Superbowl Sunday recording a story about football instead of watching football, the world would have a new definition of irony.

Glitch_Chaos

Tell that prick Hutchins he better fork over some Psy jack tech so you can be in two places at once, or the junkies will be comming after him!

Seriously though Good luck with what ever it is. I just hope I get my fix before I die from withdrawlll oohh mman the ttwitching has sstartedd. I hope there’s podcasts in my next life. :)

SOGS

Damn, damn, damn, damn, …
Waiting to long for a episode is like sliding down a razor blade into a bowl of alcohol, it just fucking hurts.

p.s. I do appreciate your hard work
thanks

Sarra

sniff sniff. I smell video game deal.

ZapataPrime

What the FUCK SIGLER?!?!? I listen to your amazing stories!! I buy your bloody clothes!! I’ll buy your books!! Go to any movies that might be made!! Watch any tv shows that might be made!! All I ask for is ONE STUPID EPISODE A WEEK DAMMIT!!!! Anyways I will wait very impatiently for the next episode!!

Your Junkie!!

Bastard, it better be a long episode when it’s released and good luck with the opportunities.

Ambush

its okay if you go postal, it will make a good book, of course you’ll need a ghost-writer ’cause those kinds of things seem to end in suicide, or being gunned down by the feds.

I can’t believe you dumb asses falling for this crap. The dumbass just got shitfaced at a superbowl party. There’s no secret deal except for the deal he had to make to clean up the bathroom floor after he missed the toilet running for a puke!

Man, I wish I had the disposable time that the rest of you do.
Scott is busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest, so what say we cut him some slack?
Personally, I am grateful for whatever he can provide in the way of free entertainment, because a small dose of Sigler is far better than lengthy episodes of some of the tripe that exists out there right now.
That being said, will someone get Genada on the friggin horn so we can arrange to have his scrawny butt cloned already?!?!
Dang, Sigler, there need to be at least three of you one call at any given moment!
One to write Nocturnal, one to recodr and mix the webcasts and one to get the marketing done.
Do I have a second on this motion?

Michael

And now, in the interest of balance…

[mystic sitar riff]

That is cool. Go forth, my son, and be at peace with the world of commerce. We patiently await, with our dreams of football and tentacled carnivores and harmony … all is one … twangggggg …

Enahz

No worries Good luck with what ever ur doing. Been filling up my time listening to earthcore again while at the same time reading what ur saying in print, Its satifying my fix. Cant wait for ancestor print version should be amazing. anayways looking forward to my next Rookie fix.

That’s cool, Scott. JC Hutchins owes us about four episodes to catch up after your 59 minute episode last week compared to his 13 minutes of 7th son. And he’s already one episode behind.

Even with your occasional delays you are giving us more content. Keep up the good work.

MrClean

You know Damn good and well your hanging out at Second Life too much, quit trying to fool us.

Well, as my imagination isn’t quite up to finishing the stinkin story, I guess I’ll capitulate, wait for YOU do to get it done and be thankfull all ta boot! But I’m tellin ya, it’s a serious bind in my panties!

freddy

were not worthy, were not worthy hye one

Karell

[BANG!]

[body drops on floor]

[kids cry]

[wife has mixed feelings]

Paul

Don’t be showin your face in sl tech tard. You need to get a manager so you can concentrate on getting your junkies their fixes on time. Congratulations I guess but I miss my fix. Theres an ice cold Corona for you in the bucket on my bar in sl.

Winston Payne

Hey, I just figured there would be a delay because of Superbowl Sunday. I figure anyone who is as nuts about football to write a story like this, is going to have major plans for Superbowl Sunday.

Kevin Carlisle

AHHHH, I NEED MY FIXXXX, episode 17 was the fucking best ever. My friend heard it and wanted the rest it was so good. With the super bowl and everything going on i don’t blame ya for being late but i NEED 18!!!! hahaa

later man,

ToxicFire

WTF!!! Sigler, I’ll admit it I didn’t give rookie the same chance as I gave Earthcore, Ancestor and Infection to get me hooked when you first started it me been brit and all the american football stuff kinda put me off but I gave it a second chance recently… now you do this to us dude…. I need my fix of the rookie :D but seriously if ya busy an all and it leads to more of your stuff been out there for more peeps then GOOOOO Sigler you twisted world dominating fuck

Magnus Porter

No worries Scott. Just get it done while I work on our other lil project that I told you about.

Rex Grossman(Can suck my balls)

This episode had better be really fucking good! I need my fix! Maybe I will have to go to that other dealer JC…

Wait… You haven’t gone postal yet?

Zhadum

Twitching…need my fix

Come on man…help a brother out

I have got to lose these shakes

Going Postal Guy

Sigler get your cryin ass back to work!

NOT your day job bitch!
your podbook!

;-)

Going Postal Guy

Zev Siegel

Good luck.

Eric

Well, if Scott is late, he usally feels guilty enough to make the next episode that much better… He better!

Mark P

After podcast one I took a few months off on purpose because waiting a whole week for each podcast kills me. I let my self get behind 15 podcasts. Kept my mind off SIGLER. With my strategy Scott could then be late, skip a week, go to the liquor store! None of it mattered! I could listen and listen and listen to one after another. Like reading a book. But NOW I finally caught up! NOOOOOOOOO..Why didn’t I just wait longer? Now I am with all of you again……WAITING

John

Hey Scott,
After last weeks episode, you can take a whole week off as far as I’m concerned. Damn that was a Good one. :)

Wes

It better be a flesh eating disease to keep me from my story!!! I pay damn good money for this subscription and I expect quality service! I will talk to your manager about this, this is totally unacceptable in the coorprate world! Rawr!

james

I know he has something big.
He has a life to. And I really don’t think that half of us really expect to get every eppisode on every damned sunday.
Give the man a break.

waylander0001

well its friday and its 21.15 in the uk so where the fucks the next episode????
cmon you slack assed bitch put some fuckin effort in!!
christ you got us hooked so you know what we`re like when we dont get our fix!!!

waista

>I know I have to get an epsiode out, or odds are there will be “mechanical errors” with my plane.

The people you’re after are the people you depend on. We cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances. We guard you while you sleep. Do not fuck with us.

Jesse

We love you sigler! Thanks!

Martin T

Hope you don’t fly anywhere near National Guard pilots.

Marcus Noble

Sounds like someone’s been watching “Snakes On A Plane”. But instead of snakes it would be those pyramid things from Infection.

scumbag

You are such a lowlife drunk. Crank up the Rockstar intake and get the episode out. I jonesing. I need a fix…. Give me something..

Enahz

Your Junkies are behind ya Scott!!! Bow chicka bow wow

Mike

Scott -
Let us know where your going to be in Florida so the junkies can mob you.

Dirty Kafir

Hey Scott,

A bottle of Redline should keep you going, and going, and going…

Thanks for the great work!

Jesse

Now I dont know about you guys. But I for one do not want to “mame” “disembowel” or ortherwise “kill” scott sigler. Hes my dealer. I cant kill the man who gives me my high. Dont bite the hand that feeds. Now kiddnapping him and forcing him to record episodes with mind toture, like watching Episodes of full house all day, is a totally different story.

Muhahhahhahahahahaaa

Udo

weak sauce.

Vee

Hey Scott,

I just wanted to thank you. I never liked football. I still don’t really LIKE it. But this year’s SuperBowl, I could actually sit and watch it without going “huh? what just happened? who’s winning?” every 30 seconds.

and fucking kudos to last week’s episode. it’s finally starting to get into the heart-pounding action that I go so hooked on in Ancestor.

You rock, man. Kick ass and take names, and don’t let the rest of the junkies get under your skin TOO much. ^_^

Jason

Too fucking short!!!! Still…..episode 17 was great, keep it up.

Jesse

In response to everyone that says he needs to do an hour episode every week.

Do me one favor. Go think up a story. Doesnt have to be long. Few pages. Then write it all down. Edit it. Then go and record it. Edit in all the music, sound effects. Other voices if you need them. Now just go try this. Then tell me if its “easy” if you could do an hour episode once a week plus all your real life stuff. I just recorded a spoof last night. Not even 10 Minutes long. It took me 2 fucking hours and Im not even done!

So in conclusion. Please send a prepaid envolope to me. So I can mail you back a spoon. A spoon? Why a spoon?

SO YOU CAN EAT MY FUCKING ASS!!!!!

Sigler. I have 10 times the respect for you now. Thanks for all the hard work and committment.

Glenn

Since I am late listening to the episode (Vista ‘hid’ my 22gig mp3 folder after the upgrade - And yes, I also use Linux) I cant complain. And as Scott is the dealer, with a life, job, etc, I wont complain… until after I listen to the episode ;-)

Anyway… all you damned junkies and whores… read on… I have html code on my site that will let you post banners on YOUR site for Scott (and JC if you want). More banners will be added for Scott in the future. To get the HTML code, go here — http://blog.wiredpig.us/2007/01/14/whoring-for-the-man/

Just doing my part… Whoring for the Man.

Martin T

Rather have a delay than a 15 minute episode :)

Scott S.

Yeah Yeah…great stuff, hope everything turns out, no worries on the episodes, tell me what to buy, etc etc etc ….

… but for those of use playing in the GFL fantasy leagues, did Pine have 0 or 1 interceptions?? I don’t trust either the Gazette or GSN to get it right …

(now waiting for the hit squad to find the nitpicking junky)

Hugh

Hey Scott, Love the podcast and your ramblings after each episode. I went to check out the Wikipedia page for the GFL. It is marked for deletion!. Junkies Rally. You can discus the pending deletion by visiting the Wikipedia page and voting to keep it. GFL Wikipedia is democratic about it and listens to the people who post.
So don’t vote to keep it and you will loose it.

Don’t let them delete the GFL!!

Zaihan

You know what, 2 weeks and Donald Pine pulls a magic trick, what the hell? He has a flawless game according to the newspaper but according to the GFL highlights, he had an interception. C’mon, if yer gonna get shitfaced, fuck us for 2 weeks (again) at least keep your story facts accurate. I could care less if the episodes come out on time, but at the least they could be edited and accurate within a 15 minute time frame. That binge drinking must have really taken it’s toll after the death of Chicago on a gang rapi.. .I mean tackle. (Nice touch).

Matador

Dude… got to be honest… i have been a fan since the get go, listened to the first two episodes of EarthCore…and i was hooked. so…. with a bit of Discpline…. i waited till the last episode. then started again. and i have listened to all your stories like that. I’m really excited about the “stranger things” adaptaion of sacred cow. but is thier site down? i was only able to get on their myspace account. can you get me a working linkto thier website??

as much as i would love to se Ancestor, but do you really want to let Sci-Fi channel even touch it…need i remind you man-squito?!?! Hell depending on how Sacred Cow works out, you might want them to handle it.

well i’m dying here in anticpation waiting to start The Rookie i know it been said but your doing a great job on this story and your podcast.

Tim

Hey Scott, Great story! I am a football junky! Don’t mind the short episode and appreciate the effort weekly. I hope a trilogy or something is planned for the Rookie, and maybe a playstation or xbox game. Have you heard anymore about it? Hope your trip was good. Missing my fix, so hurry back!

Mr. Mark

Have you ever seen a junkie go without a fix? It’s madness I tell you, pure madness. Sure, I try to get my fix somewhere else, sliding a couple of bucks to the hooker of podcasts, but no satisfaction tonight. Well, I shoulda used a condom.

I want MY FIX!

Terry Fallis

Thanks for plugging The Best Laid Plans. I’m grateful…
