Welcome back to the Big Red Button, that show your friend won't stop talking about!
Call Me By Your Game
We're continuing our segment, "Pressing the Button," where we dissect the Amazon Prime TV show, Fallout, episode by episode. This week, we tackled Season 1 Episode 2!
Episode two picks up right where we left off, weaving the intricate tales of our protagonists in the post-apocalyptic setting that Fallout fans adore. The episode does a fantastic job of intertwining the lives of Lucy the now-kinda-daunted Vault Dweller, Maximus the Brotherhood initiate, the scientist Wilzig, and the mysterious Ghoul, played by Walton Goggins, whose performance continues to steal the show.

Character Development and World Building
The episode excels in character development, especially with Lucy and Maximus. Lucy's naive approach to the harsh realities of the wasteland provides not only moments of humor but also growth as she begins to understand the gravity of her surroundings. Meanwhile, Maximus's journey in the Brotherhood of Steel introduces us to the internal conflicts and politics of the organization, adding depth to what might seem like a monolithic entity.
The Bigger Picture
As the episode concludes, we're left with more questions than answers, setting up a narrative that promises even more twists and turns. The showrunners have done a fantasti

Making new friends in the Brotherhood -Paladin Grant, Scribe Pennington, and Initiate Wellington - the gang negotiate with the Brotherhood for a power converter to fix Crazy Carl's robot, but in exchange, they learn a perilous new truth...
SPOILERS AHEAD, read at your own peril!
Turns our, the Brotherhood thinks there's a Synth on the loose - a synthetic human robot, known for replacing real humans in their sleep and infiltrating their communities one person at a time. This Synth is "somewhere" in Michigan - an oh-so not-specific region, but if they find her, they can get their much-needed power converter.
On their way into town, they notice all the lights are out. Not a good sign. They encounter the Sheriff and the Mayor Evelyn, and they report the news about the raiders and the cannibals. But now that the town knows there's a pack a cannibals on the loose, folks are anxious to get on the move. They consider the option of evacuating their current location and heading to New Detroit for safety....

Welcome back to BRB - one of the Fallout podcasts of all time (no, that wasn't a typo)
Summary:
In this episode, the Stragglers head north to investigate the raiders and discuss the dynamics of friendship within their group. Upon arriving at the town of Harrison, they are surprised to find a lack of raiders. They explore a cafe and discover books written by Houston.
That's until a shotgun is shoved into Jake's temple...
Spoilers ahead, read at your own risk!
Their exploration is interrupted by a librarian who confronts them with a shotgun. Robert Short, a ghoul librarian at the library tells the gang about the disappearance of the Raiders. Assuming these four are responsible, he forces them out, hands held high in the air. Outside, they engage in a conversation with Robert and learn about the mysterious cloaked figures. They discuss their mission and the cannibals they encountered.
Robert reveals that the Raiders were killed by the cloaked figures, who had a symbol resembling antlers on their jackets. They decide to search for information on cannibal groups and discover the legend of the "wendigo", leaving them with a cliffhanger ending. In this episode, the group discovers a mysterious creature called the Wendigo. They initially mistake it for a Winnebago, leading to some confusion and humor. As they investigate further, they debate the existence of the Wendigo and its connection to Native American mythology. The episode concludes with the group pondering the implications of what they've seen and teasing the next episode.TL;DR -

We're SMASHIN' that Big Red Button like a YouTube clout-chaser - welcome back to the hottest Fallout podcast of at least the past fourteen seconds!
Summary:
In this episode, the Stragglers continue onward, as they head to the outskirts of town to meet with "Crazy Carl." Carl is a bit of a loner, living in a shack, on the northeast edge of Dustridge, with a few two-headed brahmin and a field of razorgrain. Standing dutifully at his side is his since-deactivated Protectron robot, Phyllis.
Carl's not too fond of outsiders coming to pay him a visit, but curiosity gets the better of him. He asks the trio about the gunshots he heard earlier. While the fleshy friends do their best not to alert him to the chaos that's unfolded, Gotfree has other plans...
Spoilers ahead, read at your own risk!
"Is now the time to tell him we found a cannibal?"
And that's just where the fun begins. Carl tells the trio that he doesn't know much about the raiders, but the next time the "nice fellow" who wears the cool leather jacket comes down to ask Carl more questions, he'll happily see if the man knows anything. Turns out, Carl had been trading with the cannibal for some time.
The trio heads back into town to report to the Sheriff and the Mayor their initial findings and resupply before their big trip up to Harrison. They meet some mercenaries - some nice, some not so nice.
After stocking up, they head to the town hall, where Gotfree makes his feelings for the Mayor as clear as he can - much to her chagrin. She gives each of the scrappers a few supplies, and sends them on their way.TL;DR -
