There are three things certain in life; Death, Taxes, and Brian having a wildly different haircut every 4 years or so
occasionally, the beard will change forms as well. quite the chaotic entity
You forgot the other certainty...the injury counter will be reset!
I am enthusiastic of the challenges ahead in reference to microscale tracking devices as per that lead to forcible injection.
The most intriguing thing about having watched Modern Rogue for so long is seeing the evolution of Brian's hair
Ah the old scam school Bart Simpson has to be my personal favourite
Fond memories of awkward daytime bar tricks
‘Twas a good time indeed
the weirdest thing is im the most recent winner of the giveaway (check the top comment pinned by the MR, they mention me) and i wrote a comment back saying thank you and suggested brian put his hair in a ponytail, since it would look cool. if his hairstyle at the end of the vid when hes doing the sponsor is inspired by me then im one very lucky person
@@zeerak8294 That would be amazing to know if it was inspired by you
@Terry Anderson yes that is a very viable option lmao but a man can dream
I came here to say the same thing
I'd tell you about secret messages in newspapers, but they're classifieds.
Har har
Ba-boom, tish!
I was mugged and shot in the leg. State paid for all of my medical expenses, but I was out of work for two years and was never reimbursed for lost wages... I think that one falls under unlucky. 5 years on and still suffering the effects of the injury.
definitely unlucky
I'd consider lucky that I'm still alive. Getting mugged is scary considering the possibilities.
On (what passes for) the bright side: You could have gone to my local hospital, gotten a staph infection, and lost your leg to the hospital's incompetence.
@@TheAttacker732 I guess lucky vs. unlucky depends on what you're comparing to. I wonder how that intersects with pessimist vs. optimist.
At this point, you guys need to make a Janneman State University bumper sticker or something so Modern Rogues can find other Modern Rogues.
I have one! It’s not a very large sticker though.
I want a college hoodie!!
Austin American Statesman is about to get so many orders for back issues of the paper
The Craigslist ad is still up...I'm wondering how many replies they've received.
@@zagnut48219 No idea, but I did save an image of the page so that when it gets taken down, I will have it for laughs later.
Re: Lucky/Unlucky. I got hit by a car in Japan several years ago. I was running through the crosswalk at a light as the Walk light was flashing green. Some woman in a car came up to the intersection and made the turn right (they drive on the opposite side of the street in Japan) in my direction. I had the right of way, so I kept running. As I got to the halfway mark, I realized that instead of slowing down to stop for me, she was speeding up and staring at the dashboard instead of the street. I was just about to step in front of the car and couldn't stop running in time. I slammed my hands out and caught the corner of the hood just above the headlight. The impact threw me 10 feet, and I skidded on the street, getting road rash on my right elbow, hand and knee, and sandpapering off the top of my left sneaker over the knuckle of my big toe. The impact bruised my chest muscles for 2 weeks. The main thing was that when I went flying, my left foot flew up and smashed her passenger mirror off the car, breaking one of the long bones in my foot. She was under-insured. Her insurance company paid for my taxi fare to and from work while I was in a cast, and for the hospital visits. But, at the end, all I got was 500,000 yen (a little under $5,000) for "pain and suffering." It took 3 months for the bone to heal to where I could start walking on that foot again. Asking the "lucky/unlucky" question - "Would I be willing to be shot in the arm, instead of being hit by a car? And is $5,000 worth all of the hassle and pain?" "Nope." It might be one thing for a simple flesh wound, but if the bullet shattered the bone, $5,000 wouldn't even cover rehab therapy. This isn't just "unlucky", it's potentially permanently crippling. Add a few more zeros at the end, and we can talk.

@The Floridian Brickfilmer you wouldn't be Chuck Finnly would you?
@@christopherabbott3484 I can neither confirm nor deny that statement.
I could never be an agent. My target would have fled the scene and killed 1000 innocent people and I'd still be sitting there puzzling a 7-letter word for waterfowl :/
You again!
@@danielr3310 Mallard?
Lol gotta watch this after seeing some weird message in a newspaper
Tell me more
@@andylines8040More
Tell us more
I didn't read it to closely but it was saying "the 11th group had met and that strides were being made so be prepared." 🤷♂️ seemed like a weird thing to see in the letters section.
@@nickvire518 thanks for telling us more
Taking bets. Somebody is going to get a paper cut.
It’s not a modern rogue episode without an injury counter reset.
@@jamiesonberney6726 yes sir
$1,000,000 on no one getting a paper cut
10 shares of nok
2 highfives on them getting a paper cut!
Dudes a modern rogue full A.R.G. would be absolutely AWESOME, and having Brian trying to figgure it out while jason just sits in the corner smileing like a maniac would be perfection
3:42 "We'll check Patreon and see how lucky you're about to get." LOL
Apparently in the 90's in Japan there was a group of guys street racing and in order to meet up and avoid the police they put up random things for sale at random times in the newspaper such as "Handbags for sale at midnight near exit off this highway in parking lot". "Midnight Club" is what it was called, allot of videos and articles about it all over
Not long ago, I was staring at a grafito on a freeway bridge, saying to myself, what a random word! And it changes every week or so. I wonder if it's a secret message to some undercover agent?
5:00 Wait, is _Jason_ behind _Ask Grandma Murphy?!_ I _love_ that article! My pie crusts have never been flakier, and my taxidermy never more lifelike and (emotionally) moving!
wait. . . your taxidermy isnt physically moving?
I miss the old intro
CAUSE IM A MODERN ROGUE!!!
They even filmed a new intro in the pit with smoke for that opening.
I miss the robot voice.
@@LetsGoPulling same
I remember that Simpsons episode and wondering how many articles about giant food Homer's mother had to get published and how many nights she had to wait on Fourth Street Overpass before he finally saw it. Such dedication.
That cat looked pissed you guys put him on blast like that... Lmao then just walked away like "I'm done"
What's next, how to dispose of corpses with a car battery?
YES PLEASE
Can't be worse than lye, right? Right?
@@Carbon2861996 as long as they dont create an accidental bomb with it
I love how an entire chapter of the video is titled “craig”
how illegal would it be to put Janneman ads everywhere until Brian feels hunted
Its crazy I've been watching Brian Brushwood since his hair was in bleached spikes.
NGL, did anyone else think it was weird when Brian kept referring to money in pounds and think some shenanigans were afoot? 🤣
He's just so rich he measures his money by weight.
@@stevenwyman1379 are you...? Yknow what nevermind
Yes i honestly dont know why he said that. Maybe theres going to be more in other videos but yeah im from England and not used to Americans refering to money in pounds
I think maybe cause the experiment took place in England and he was going off of what it said in the book. Then for sake of consistency he kept with pounds.... That or he had a english breakfast that morning.
@@jaxman682 haha oh that makes sense. I like the thought of him having and English Breakfast making him convert into English and maybe start talking in an Emglish accent
At this point I'm expecting Spikey Brian back.
Yes, that was the best Squarespace ad you have done!
I feel like Brian is flaunting his hair now and I ain't mad about it
his hair is glorious
edit: the intro hair isn't so much though
I love the flashback to the treasure hunt pre-COVID-at-home-haircut days...
On lucky/unlucky people and finding the add that gives you money. Made me think of a party game from my childhood. A list of instructions, where the first is to read through the list carefully and the last is to only write your name in the corner of the list, lay down the pen and to stay quiet. In between you have instructions to clap your hands. Sing a song, run a lap around the table, draw shapes on different places on the paper and so on.
I love the discussion between the outlook of people who consider themselves lucky vs. unlucky. I found that clever sales people have an uncanny ability to a an otherwise "unlucky" situation as a "lucky."
6:56
Aahh this is so cute
Brian jumping in total joy❤️
I had a test in school. And the first line of it was, "sign your name and turn this paper in." Other instructions were like poke a hole in the top right corner, tire the bottom left corner off. Stuff like that. Me and like two other people did it right in the rest of the class was looking at us like how did they get it done so fast.
"Lucky or unlucky experience?"
Are you kidding? I get paid a lot of money (ok, not an amazing amount or anything but still, significant enough for me to do something cool with) AND I get a cool story to tell all my friends. I might even get a scar. I'd consider that a pretty lucky experience.
Of course where I live the bank would not care one iota if I got shot on their premises so it would be slightly less lucky.
Edit: Brian, you are my spirit animal.
Yall should do an episodes on famous ARGs, yall of kind of talked about the parts of them already
This reminds me of a Scene in the film 'Fulltime Killer', where assassins would receive information about their next job by finding small ads from two different newspapers(printed in the same place in both papers I.e. the bottom corner of the 9th page) and take alternating words from those ads to reveal the message.
That newspaper was published on my birthday! Awesome!
How the hell do these legends only have 1.3 million subscribers. Every rogue should sub
an oldie but a goodie , still works (not just newspapers)
Brian’s reaction was great!
Doug, Craig, and Ted walked into a loading bar...
Best ad ever!!
0:10 Murphy just did a perfect 10!!!
At this point, you guys need to come up with some actual Jannemen State Warriors apparel and/or merch. I would rock that shit so much.
Sidenote on lucky vs unlucky:
In the US, it would really hang on whether your insurance or Medicare covered your bills. Or if the bank's liability(?)/business(?) insurance covered your bills. I don't know many people that would be positive over getting shot, getting paid ~$6.8k, and then having the relevant insurance tell them to kick rocks. Like, if you get to keep the money, that's debatably a decent experience. If you get strongarmed out of that money afterwards, that's overwhelmingly negative and you got kicked while you were down.
Funny story, my dad and stepmom met through an ad in the classified section in our local news paper. They've been married over 25 years.
Have loved you guys for years
Create a long numbered list of coordinates labeled 1-100 all of them on Modern Rogue property and put a date on the list. Hide the list in a dead drop in front of the recording studio with a chalk mark pointing towards the list. In a newspaper put a article with a number between 1-100. Then hide something at the coordinates of the number that corresponds to the number in the paper.
I love the childish glee Brian had lol
I'd call the bank thing unlucky, cause that 5000 would go straight med bills to dig that bullet out of ur arm, so u don't actually get anything
It wouldnt even cover it in some places of America
This was a great episode
If you could do something like this but more complex that would be very cool
I guarantee you there was just some random dude who found that message and had no idea who sham is and has no idea what is going on.
I want to see how deadly frozen underwear can be! You can make it in to a Club/ nunchucks and if frozen flat they make pretty good throwing stars👍
Brian in the opening doing the unthinkable Emo 2008 // Sekiro SDT crossover haircut, good on him.
The throwback to the bar-ettiquette episode! That, sir, is how you do it!
You guys are living the nerdy rouge dream
the bank is lucky af cause not only do you get to money but you also get to go to the cool building that gives you pain killers
Very clever Jason
The childlike joy of brian it a gift to us all
I’m so entertained because I saw the Craig when they went by the first time. And I’m like that’s funny, they were talking about craigslist I wonder if that’s it. It was!!!!
Very excited for the saga of long-haired Bryan.
I am curiously if there is a link to that specific page for us to find other secret messages and references in
"What is Craig a reference to?"
*Screams in Australian*
After watching this, I feel like I am supposed to go to squarespace.com and search for a cat licking itself to lead me into an adventure with Samson & The Chooch.
My local newspaper is literally 1/10 the size of what is used to be and has gone from 50 cents to $2.00 a rag, and $3.00 on Sundays.
You guys are awesome! Please do a quick follow up with how many applicants replied to your add 🤣
"Craig from Craigslist killed everyone"
"Wow, he's ruthless"
...
"Anyways, is Craig a reference to something?"
"I don't know, is it? I imagine Craig has a list of the memorabilia"
Another nice trick to deliver secret messages via newspaper is to write them in a black ink spot (preferably in a black-and-white picture, but it works with any) with a soft pencil. You´re only really able to read it when you let a light source reflect on the graphite.
Have you thought about combining a lot of these 'leaving hidden messages/contraband' and 'signalling with mirrors' ideas into a Modern Rogue treasure hunt thing, kind of like Trent Reznor's ideas promoting 'Year Zero' - hiding USB drives in bathrooms at gigs with instructions to the next set of clues or coordinates, leading you to a place or URL?... obviously once this modern plague is under control, of course.
Could be a good way to get people back outside again and using some of these ideas from the videos.
Brian's hair is amazing
I like to think I can think about things realistically instead of more lucky than unlucky. In the bank scenario, sure the chance that I got shot was very unlucky, but it was an easy injury that I even get compensated for and end up positively down the line.
idk if it has been done yet but a wilderness survival expert could take yall out for a week and yall could learn actual survival skill or even put the ones you have learned to the test and see how they react. They could modify yalls technique and you can breakup each day into individual episodes like a series. Survivorman style!
I like how in the bank robbery scenario Brian said "5000 £" because if it was America the hospital bill for getting shot in the arm would be way to much.
Hell yeah new video
I can't get over the premier intros
Just wait till that Squarespace ad gets flagged for inappropriate content.
"Hutto Hippos, still crushing it" wait... wtf have I missed??? Many years I graduated there and we were AWFUL
I'd say the getting shot one us unlucky. Like not only did you get shot but $5,000 isn't gonna even pay for half of the medical bills of that or the rehab you'll have to go through to help you use your arm again assuming it doesn't have to be amputated.
New $5000 patreon, now THAT would be a story
That cat was ready to talk to Ted Internet Squarespace
While there are dreamsicle popsicles, I believe the person is most likely selling dreamselling Dreamsicle porcelain cherub figurines
Have these guys looked into the Cicada 3301 puzzles? If not, they really should
the second deluge fire starts playing, you know some shit is about to go down
Lovin murphys new hair doo
Given that they're pounds, that means you have the NHS and being shot doesn't mean you go bankrupt. In the US > unlucky, everywhere else in the developed world > Lucky.
Being shot isn’t lucky for anybody... you’re still injured, in pain, and most likely traumatized
@@DeathnoteBB I think he was referring to the fact you get to keep the money instead of it being taken by medical bills.
Al Hirschfeld would be proud ! LOL
I have been watching the modern rogue since pretty much the beginning of the channel and it’s been one of my favorites since it’s inception. I just realized now that I wasn’t subscribed... I feel terrible.. please brushwood don’t send the child after me!
The Austin American-Statesman! Psh, I only read The San Antonio News-Express!
Man I hope Squarespace makes a social media account named Ted Theodore Squarespace
So even Craig reads exerpts too? Maybe even Sham saw a good exerpt somewhere... A riddle everywhere, always written elsewhere so one musters enlightenment.
You guys should do a video on Cicada 3301.
Thought for sure the secret message would be a plug for Jason Murphy’s new book Killer Candy!!!!! Buy it now on Amazon!!
The longer Brian's hair gets the more attention it pulls away from everything else... Will it be cut? Will it continue to grow with reckless abandon, eventually becoming a new host on the channel? Keep watching to find out... 👀
They definitely would have been a better duo than the new myth busters
How long are you/they gonna persist with the hairstyles?
Your guyses hairstyles were pretty normal for a long time, but lately they make you look like you're slowly losing your marbles
The injury counter is going to be reset this episode.
For real though, I would buy Janneman State Warriors merch if it were to show up in the store....
My arm muscles can't be compensated with a mere $5000! Totally depends on the person though and how much they value their arms. But then is being lucky mean not heaving much use for the full strength of their arms? I guess in the case of an armed robbery and being shot in one, yes.
you guys should honestly sell Janneman State gear I'd buy some
Cody's Lab must've sold them RoboCody
