Bailey Basically Explains

Three versions of Bailey (Bat Bailey, Jesus Bailey, and Chef Bailey) standing together

So this is basically a series where Bailey explains how a video game works while trying to traverse through the first mission of the game. Or something like that.

Join Bailey every Wednesday at 7/6c as he goes through the beginning of any video game Max decides he should try. Watch as he jumps around like an idiot to find his way through the level. Be in awe of his terrible fighting skills as he battles his way through hordes of different enemies. Question your sanity as he repeats the same joke of finding Queen Amidala, destroying stuff for money, claiming to have skills, setting things on fire, and thinking every game he plays should absolutely make sense in how it plays or is presented. In case you're wondering, Bailey plays a variety of games from adventure games to puzzle games to strategy games to RPGs, mainly residing on the PS2, PS4, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, Switch, and the (not Meta) Oculus Quest.

The Nerdy Maniakz Basically Explain Rock Band 4

In this video, Bailey basically explains how he and the boys form a band, Tacos for Braydon, and become rock n roll legends, featuring such classics as "Machinehead", "Cheeseburger in Paradise", a modernized version of "Holiday", "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid", and Max's personal favorite the Weezer mocking parody that is "Buddy Wannabe". Originally released on November 3rd, 2021, the video was blocked worldwide on YouTube so now it lives on my Google Drive for anyone who clicks the link to access.

Rock on, freaky bro!

If the version on YouTube is the remastered 2004 version of Episode V, then this is the original version (hence the year in the title). This version was recorded before I got Lokizilla33 and Jimmy to do the episode with us. We ended up not scrapping it since there's a lot of good humor in it that didn't end up in the "2004 version" of the episode, so it lives here now as opposed to being shelved from the public like Star Wars Detours.

Does Han know Leia loves him?

El Baile De Pollo

Bailey basically explains how a monkey boy became the Great Maracas King and hosts a furry fiesta with all his friends. This is the full version with every song included since YouTube's copyright robots love kissing big corporation's rich butts.

Bababooey!
