Time is running out on our two current silent auctions, but you still have a chance to sneak in and bid! They're running until 2am PST, so set your timer now!
First of our excellent silent auctions is a Crocheted Rainbow Chocobo, donated by Orin Drake!
This chocobo is made of bright sparkly acrylic yarn stuffed with super squishy polyfil. Tail feathers, first primary feather and wing joints, legs, and front toes are wired for posability, while the back toes remain soft but reinforced to better distribute weight. They stand at a purely accidental 12 inches to the top of their crest, with an 11 inch wingspan and currently 5.5 inches from their chest fluff to the base of their tail. The eyes are dark raspberry purple-pink dyed agate.
Current high bid is $3030.30
Next is a Pokemon Shaker Charm Set, donated by crafter Patch_witch!
Made from resin and Pokemon cards, these shaker charms are the perfect way to take your favorite partner everywhere you go! Featuring Eevee and all their 'lutions, each charm is themed, unique, and handmade. Due to the nature of the charms, sometimes pieces will get stuck to the sides or back from static, don't be afraid to shake vigorously to try and loosen them up. They can be wiped down with alcohol wipes to remove smudges and fingerprints.
Current high bid is $1808.02
We've got some real exciting, real life inspired content for you tonight here on E&A. Are you excited? We're excited. Let's take a look at our content for tonight.
French Columbo uses his little green cells to find a murderer - and it's not anyone you would suspect. Because it's the puppet. Yes. Wrinkles the RDP Puppet killed Harry, and Jordan is going to hold Wrinkles accountable.* Wow, what a twist. Did we just spoil the ending? Oops. Our bad.
*Portions of this broadcast have been edited and re-arranged for dramatic effect.
Time to move on to our behind-the-scenes look into the streamer's studio and learn more about what Graham is willing to order from McDonald's than is probably healthy for us even to listen to. Haha. Then in Lieography, we take a deep look into his storied past of questionable G-Vlogs that absolutely happened and are completely true even though our show is titled "Lieography."
Now, let us take a moment out of our regular programming to remember the Target employees who lost their lives in the Target Kids Uprising of November 15.
Truly, yesterday was a sad day for retail employment. But life moves on and so does E&A's programming.
We've reached the drama portion of the evening. Oh my. Titillating. Jordan talks a big game when he's ragging on James, but can he take what he dishes out? We find out in tonight's special episode of PO(n)G the Bounty Hunter, where Jordan takes on Graham in a coffee pong exhibition match.
Oops, that ad up there was another spoiler wasn't it? Let's not dwell on it. We have so much action ahead. Where were you when you learned that despite Ian's claims to fame, it is actually Graham who has more bus stops?
Let us take another pause in our programming to watch NASA launch a spacecraft that will loop around the moon. Wow. Do you think they get TV on the moon? We should talk to our network execs about locking down the moon demographic. We already have viewers at NASA.
Looks like we're out of time, gentle viewer. Thank you for tuning into E&A. We're going to---

ZAT
--THIS BROADCAST HAS BEEN INTERRUPTED. Matthew "William" Wiggins has sinned against Fugi. All of Night Watch must now suffer Fugi's wrath. Zeta Shift will have the first opportunity to discover the easter egg hidden in the overlay – an easter egg that will be turned off as soon as Night Watch starts their shift tomorrow, so they can never. Ever. Enjoy it. How do you like them easter eggs?
The Rules of Acquisition clearly state that you should not donate DB Shift Gold Pressed Latinum to charity! But you can't negotiate with these Starfleet types, they're all goody-goody and "ooh save the children." For one brick and five strips of gold-pressed latinum, these hyoo-mans better be saving lots of children. What? They are? Nyehhhh!
Throw money at this giveaway in increments of $5.82 (or, shudder, multiples of that much) before 11:30pm PT and you can at least acquire this gold-pressed latinum.
MomoCon in downtown Atlanta brings together fans of Japanese Anime, American Animation, Comics, Video Games, and Tabletop Games to celebrate their passion. If those are passions you'd like to celebrate, their next convention will be in May 25-28, 2023!
MomoCon also sponsors Desert Bus for Hope, for which we are grateful! Thank you MomoCon for your support.
The Secret Lair Artist Series Collection from Magic: The Gathering lets you bring home special editions of really cool cards, either reprinted or revised by the artists. This set from Thomas Baxa, Mark Poole, and Johannes Voss could be yours for a donation of $9.87 (or multiples thereof) before 10:10pm PT!
Nix of Nothing is the weekly webcomic from M. Lee Lunsford, whom you may also recognize as the creator of the annual Desert Bus poster. Demigod Nix was supposed to enjoy a life of freedom from divine expectations, but all that changed when an unknown divine force targeted them. Now they must journey to see if they can find peace once again.
Thank you Nix of Nothing and M. Lee Lunsford for your support of Desert Bus for Hope!
Gotta catch 'em all, bag o' dice! After a one year hiatus, the BIG BAG O' DICE HAS RETURNED with oh my gosh that's so many dice. This eclectic set has everything from light-up LED dice to a die that can only roll natural 20s (beause all sides are 20s). Hey, we all need a bit of extra luck sometimes, no judgment. Try your luck on this giveaway and maybe you'll score a critical success!
Donate $8.08 (or multiples thereof to roll with advantage) before 8:08pm PT!
Iron Fist Alexander Jar - Elden Ring
If there's one thing we all learned from our good friend Iron Fist Alexander, it's that when you get stuck in a pit of mud, you need a buddy to help you. And Iron Fist Alexander is now here to help you out of whatever pit of mud (literal or metaphorical) that you might be stuck in, and also maybe to hold your plants in a really cool way. But don't put food in him and don't let him challege you to a duel: he is neither food-safe nor weapon-sturdy.
This auction is live NOW so get on in to Desert Bus for Hope and start bidding! You need a donor account connected to a Twitch account so you can type your bid in chat.
UPDATE (7:12pm PT) – Going, going, GONE to whatthebus for $7,500! Good jaaaaarb!
Like most people, I left home when I was 10 years old in order to travel the world unsupervised and perfect my skills at taming wild animals. But what makes me truly unique is that along the way, I picked up a sword twice as big as I am and started wielding elemental magic. So when a world-traveling, Buster-sword-bearing 10 year old like me tells you that these silent auctions are a rare find, you know it's really rare. Like, one-of-a-kind summoning materia rare. You have until 2am PT to throw a pokébid at them!
Crocheted Rainbow Chocobo
This little crochet chocobo is up to no good, but gosh, they're so cute that you can't be mad at them. Even if they do take a little nibble of your sandwich! Lotus the Rainbow Chocobo stands 12 inches high (30cm) and has multiple wire-reinforced bits to strike and hold those naughty poses.
Current Bid: $1,140.69
Pokemon Shaker Charm Set
Ah, Eevee. This Pokémon represents limitless options: so many forms that it can evolve into, some of which are even strong to play in tournaments! Now you can have all those opportunities in your hand (or clipped to your belt) so you'll never have to pick between favorites. But first, you gotta catch 'em all in this auction!
Current Bid: $1,234.56

It's Day 3 of D+B! Kathleen is today's DM.
SungWon Cho calls in to the bus to say hello!
