What is the premise of 'I Dared My Best Friend to Ruin My Life'?
Welcome back to Creepcast.
We are here with an exciting, dare I say monumental story called, I dared my best friend to ruin my life. He's succeeding. Now, why does that sound familiar, Isaiah?
Well, my dear friend Hunter, I think it sounds familiar because you and I attempted to read this story at one point. As a matter of fact, it is a story that we attempted to read, and I alluded to that attempt in a previous episode. And you immediately lost your mind.
Okay, first off, I was going to say, I thought you were going to be cute and say, like, oh, you're ruining my life. But we didn't have to go into... to me crashing out. I, there was a lot of factors to why I crashed out the first time it was, it was an accumulation of the work end of year stuff. It was us trying to wrap everything up. And it was, it was just one of those days where you're exhausted, you know? And I think that I just wasn't looking at it through the right lens. So today I'm hoping that I'm going to, I I'm looking at it in a more positive light. That's all I got to say. And I've rested. I've, I've left the country. I've come back a new man and I I'm ready. I'm ready to tackle this bad boy. Eight parts.
Eight parts. Eight parts. So this story gets recommended to us a lot. Yes. A lot of people talk about it. It is written by someone on Reddit known as ZandSand90. Now, I don't think... Don't like that name. I don't like that name either. I don't think that it's the author's actual name unless the author... named the protagonist of the story after themselves because the protagonist of the story is named Xander. Don't like that name either. So I think this is a throwaway account for the story. However, that would be fun in my attempt to find the author's real name. There is a website. I don't know if this is the author or not, but there's a website called Zach.Fish, and it's a guy named Zach Fish who has this whole post where he says that, "...I dared my best friend to ruin my life is a massive online interactive misinformation awareness project accompanying the release of a 10-episode web series based on a story from r slash nosleep."
So this is like 50 different social accounts and a hundred places on the internet where apparently like I dared my best friend to ruin my life was like an ARG. What's some kind I, according to this, but it says based on a story from r slash no sleep. So did Zach fish, the guy who wrote the story is he's and sand or is Did he just make an ARG around the story? I can't tell. I don't know.
Well, at first when you said it, I thought that you were saying... I thought you were saying that this r slash no sleep story inspired others to do ARGs. Is that not right?
Well, that's kind of what... I can't understand what the wording of this is because it says... I dared my best friend to ruin my life. It says it's a big misinformation awareness project based on a story from r slash no sleep. So that makes it sound like he's not, but does that mean this guy has like a 10,000 participant, according to the website, a 10,000 participant alternate reality game. And he based it off of an, a no sleep story. Maybe, maybe I'm so confused. Maybe there's a website bound. Look, there's a website called team Xander dot com, which I imagine is like the no sleep thing. Yeah, I don't like that. The web page doesn't work anymore. But when you try to load the web page, the URL changes to dared my best friend dot com. So, like, what?
It's a very interactive, immersive thing. There's a lot of different websites going on here now.
Yeah, what did we step into?
I don't know. I mean, maybe when we read the story, there'll be more clarity into some of this. Maybe, you know what it is? It might be one of those things when you read into it and it starts, it's like meta. Like, it starts referring to those websites and shit.
Also, hold on. When I look it up, it says that it is a movie? Yeah. When I Googled dare my best friend, it pulls up, it says movie and it has a cast listed, but then, okay, hold on the movie database. There's a movie for this. Okay. It looks like, yeah, it looks like in 2020 there was a movie for dared my best friend to ruin my life. And it was directed by Michael Morgenstern.
