Scott Wozniak: History began in 1988- but really started in 2007. And ever since, people of all kinds have banded together to not only celebrate the yearly football video game franchise ‘Madden’, but to pick an entry as their favorite.

Scott: Woo! It's pretty good, right? And don't you stand there thinking you can't have a high like this. Come on, there's a Madden for everybody!

Scott: I know- pretty wild, right? And take my word for it- EA Sports cracked the code and has made sure that each and every Madden game is a different stroke for a different folk!

Scott: ♫Madden '03 and ‘4, you play it for the lore
Packed with stuff never done before
Madden '97, turned it to 11
This game can cure all kinds of depression!
Madden ‘25, what, did we travel through time?
(Yeah, I mean it was pretty alright...)
John Madden Football, now I've seen it all
Shows how the mighty just refuse to fall

Pick any game you want, you have my guarantee
‘Cause there's a Madden just for me!♫

Scott: Yeah, I know. I hate talking politics but everybody has a right to Madden! Just ask the Madden 3DS community. Those guys get it!

Scott: ♫Madden Overdrive, not a nosedive
EA Sports, you continue to thrive!
What's their bottom goal? Their honest intent?
Providing players with pride and accomplishment
Madden CD, oh boy, oh gee
Why can't these things start growing on trees?
Madden '08, it's Nirvana on a plate♫

Wrong Opiniony Mike: I don't like that one.

Scott: You're a f*cking disgrace

Scott: ♫Pick any game you want, you have my guarantee...♫

Chorus: ♫'Cause there's a Madddeeeenn... Fooor...♫

Scott: Not you.

Chorus: ♫...Meeeeeee!♫

Scott: Yeah, I like this one.

[The camera zooms out to show the scene is being viewed on a TV in a dark room, showing footage of Scott playing with a copy of Madden ‘08 as an unknown figure watches in dismay]

Unknown Figure: No, no, no! It's just not fair! Everybody's all about “Madden this!”, “Madden that!” People need to realize there's only one sports game that deserves recognition!

[the figure throws a ‘Dick Vitale's “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops’ cartridge]

Unknown Figure: I'll show them! I'll show them all!

[A dramatic version of Breakout is heard as multiple moving shots of Scott Wozniak's desk is played. Opening credits are displayed]

Choir: Scott The Wooooozzzzz... Scott The Wooooozzzzz[5]

[After the camera points to the Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops cartridge, the shot fades out. An outline of the Scott The Woz logo fades in. Shortly after it explodes, revealing the actual logo, with text saying 'The Woz' sliding in as text saying "IT'S AWESOME BABY!" appears via a writing-esque transition. Fade to black. A playful version of Breakout plays]

Scott: Hey All, Scott here, and man, what a perfect Madden day it is here in the year Madden '19. That's Madden lingo for 2018. Sure, some games may be better than others, but as human beings, we all share the primal instinct to pick a Madden to call our own.

[Scott slides to his computer sitting on his chair]

Scott: Everyone has one, just take a look!

hey1imconner: Madden 2001.

Neptune_Walker: Society peaked in 1988 with the release of John Madden's Football.

Luigi555551: I sure do love Madden '07.

???: Seriously, like, have you even lived if you've never experienced Madden 2002 on the Game Boy Advance?

Schaffrillas: Madden '09!

???: Madden '06 on the PSP is the future!

???: It's ALL-MADDEN! And it's Number 1 for a reason!

???: We out here ready to play some Madden ‘19, am I right?

Nathaniel Bandy: You ain't played Madden NFL 2007 BAY-

???: Madden 11 on Wii.

???: Madden '05, PETA approved.

???: Madden 2002 for Nintendo GameCube.

???: John Madden Football.

???: I love Madden ‘07 more than I love my child!

Scott: It just makes me feel all warm and culty on the inside.

[Cut to black]

Scott: It's just such great time to be talking about any retired coach or sportscaster born in 1936, talking about Madden, looking at Madden, trading in Madden...

Scott: Now that I got that out of my system let's figure out what I should talk about today! Ehh, I don't know. I already talked about Sonic 2 what else is there?

[Scott turns to face his Sega Genesis sitting on his desk as ominous music starts to play. A slideshow of all of the intros to Scott The Woz episodes are seen as the camera slowly zooms into the Genesis, which is seen in each of the intros. The dramatic rising note is ends with a deep 'bang' noise]

Scott: It's always been there.

[Scott walks over to the Genesis and picks up the cartridge. He looks at the top, revealing the game's title]

Scott: Dick Vitale?

Scott: Well, I like both of those things so why not?

Scott: So this game is a little thing I like to call ‘Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops’. “College hoops”- slang for university basketball. “Awesome, baby!”- a phrase deriving from pure joy… but what exactly is a ‘Dick Vitale’? Apparently, one of the most eccentric and beloved basketball commentators of all time. He's evolved from coach to sportscaster, to jack-of-all-trades; appearing in various films and commercials, writing books and lending his voice to the NCAA March Madness Games. Now the killer apps of Dick Vitale are his catchphrases. We have such mainstays as “a diaper dandy”, “slam bam jam”, “dipsy-doo dunk-a-roo” and any and all varieties of a phrase that even resembles “it's awesome, baby”.

In 1994, Time Warner Interactive struck a deal to cram as much Vitale in a Sega Genesis cartridge as humanly possible. And that's all I got from the game's Wikipedia article. Look at how small this is - you could tattoo this entire thing on your foot! And before anybody asks, no, this game has no relation to College Hoops 2K8. THIS IS BULLSHIT!

Well, let's take a look at the manual... “Hello everybody, I'm Dick Vitale.” Oh my God, he's talking to me! “How can anybody not be turned on by college hoops?” We have a Dick Vitale Rosetta Stone in the back, too. I always wondered what my neighbors meant when I heard them screaming "pine time"- the answer was always here! “Play it and you'll be screaming, “Awesome, Baby! with a capital A!”” That would look fucking stupid. "The ONLY Genesis™ basketball game with a 3-D rotating court AND Dick Vitale!" Sure, some Genesis games have a 3D rotating court, and some have Dick Vitale, but this one... has both.

Scott: I can't hold this longer. It's finally time to find out what's been sitting on my desk for the past two years! This is Dick Vitale's “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops!

[Scott puts the cartridge on the Genesis. It cuts to the game, showing legal information and then a screen stating 'Time Warner Interactive Presents'. A basketball falls, and morphs to have Dick Vitale's face on it]

Scott: I hate when that happens. I don't know if Dick Vitale ever made the statement "If only I was the basketball...", and this is an 'only Dick Vitale fans will get this' easter egg, but MAN, I've been trying to figure out the reason behind this for the past 15 seconds. Dick is wheeled in here, screams eleven letters in a row, and we have a title screen the delivers the heartiest...

[It cuts to Scott looking confused. He turns his head to look at the camera. It cuts back to the game]

Scott: ...out there.

Scott: This title screen is great because you could crop out any portion of it and still know exactly what it's about.

[The majority of the title screen is cropped out, leaving only the word "Dick"]

Scott: Oh yeah, basketball. Easy, next question.

Scott: Well, let's set up a game, and you know we have to represent our buds down in Tucson, Arizona, and who better to go against than ‘No Carolina’? Playing the actual game? Yep, the back of the box doesn't lie. That is a 3D rotating court, and that is Dick Vitale. You just run around with Dick Vitale in your ears, trying to get your ball in these things.

Scott: I lost. "No Carolina won"? Then who did?

Dick Vitale: Warm up the bus, baby. This one is history!

Scott: Jesus, Dick, I'm grieving. This guy's just eating a sandwich. Now am I anal about losing, or completely indifferent to it? I don't know, but personally I think I'm on Team Anal for this one.

Scott: Now, of course, playing basketball is only one part of the Dick Vitale's “Awesome Baby!” experience. We also have the extra mode 'Options'. Look at this, we have a sound test! We can go through all of Dick Vitale's phrases like:

Dick Vitale: Awesome, baby!

Scott: and-

Dick Vitale: Awesome, baby!

Scott: It never gets old!

Unimportanty Tom: Hey man, can you drop my dad at the hospital?

[Scott, talking on the phone, is mashing his controller, causing the sound test to play repeatedly]

Dick Vitale: Awe-Awe-Awe-Awe-Awe-Awe-Awe-Awe-Awe-Awe-Awe-Awe-

Scott: I'm busy.

Scott: So, Dick Vitale's “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops. You may be asking, "Where does this fit in on the Madden timeline?". That's a good question. I'd say it fits snugly between the 'Madden CD' and 'Madden '95' era. Does that make it any good? Eh, not really. It has that 'awkward 3D sports game for the Sega Genesis' twang, and overall this game just doesn't really hold up that-

[The gameplay abruptly stops. The footage glitches and rewinds]

Scott: What the hell! I do NOT know what happened there, so, whatever. Let's just forget Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops and go back to playing some Madden '0-

[It is revealed that his Madden '08 collection has been replaced with 'Dick Vitale's "Awesome, Baby!" College Hoops' cartridges]

Scott: AAAAAAAAAA-

Scott: All my copies of Madden ‘08 have been Vitale'd.

[Scott runs to his computer and searches 'madden' on Google. Apparently, there aren't any search results about Madden, leaving a message that says 'Your search - madden - did not match any documents']

Scott: No...

[He proceeds to search 'Dick Vitale's Awesome Baby College Hoops' on YouTube. He watches videos of people talking about it]

AntDude: All right, everybody, you can stop with the comments- I'm finally gonna take a look at Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops.

indiejacob: So, Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops is what I would personally consider to be an all-time hooping classic. It's definitely the pinnacle of the Dick Vitale-related Genesis games with "Awesome, Baby!" in the title.

Cadddicarus: Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops. What's all that about?

TetraBitGaming: Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops has a lot of unseen and unused content in it.

The Completionist: Hey everyone, and welcome back to another brand-new episode of The Completionist, where today I'm going to complete Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops.

[Scott runs outside and gasps as Best Buy and Target have been replaced with 'Dick Vitale's Awesome Buy' and 'It's Target Baby!' respectively. He also gasps at the sight of Dick's Sporting Goods. It cuts back to Scott at his desk]

Scott: Okay! So this is just a wild shot in the dark here, but I assume this timeline has been altered, and now the only sports game you can play is Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops. It's a good thing I bought that space-time-continuum-proof baggy! A copy of Madden ‘08 and a flash drive with the NFL theme song on it- you could never be too safe.

Scott: I think I was the only person not affected by this whole timeline fiasco because I was playing Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops when it all happened; there's always a loophole. Well, since I can't alter the space-time continuum myself to change it back how it used to be, I'm just gonna do what anybody who's in a world that believes that Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops is the only sports game you can play would do.

[It cuts to Scott outside, protesting, holding a sign saying "SAY NO to DICK"]

Scott: Dick Vitale is a myth!

[It cuts to Scott holding another sign saying "IS THERE SUCH A THING AS TOO MUCH VITALE? Uhhh YES"]

Scott: "I like Dick Vitale"- more like "I DON'T like Dick Vitale!"

[Cuts to his final sign which has a drawing of Dick Vitale's face with red devil horns and angry eyebrows, with text saying "NOPE." underneath]

Scott: I drew devil horns on him! That's how you know he's bad!

[A police siren is heard approaching. Scott points desperately towards it]

Scott: The police agree with me!

[The next shot is a news broadcast from Dick Vitale's "Awesome, Baby!" Breaking News. The headline reads 'Somebody AGAINST Dick Vitale?!', and showcases a video of Scott Wozniak spinning a sign with the words 'DICK VITALE' crossed out. The wind makes Scott accidentally drop it]

News Anchor Tom: This just in: a local anti-Dick Vitale nutjob decides to publicly whine about Dick Vitale...

[The next video shows Scott being arrested, accompanied with the headline 'EXCLUSIVE Arrest Footage!?' and the caption 'ARREST FOOTAGE COURTESY OF: AN ANONYMOUS TIPSTER NAMED JON']

News Anchor Tom: ...screaming such obscenities as "Vince Young" and "EA Sports". He's being put under house arrest, and quite frankly, we're just glad this kinda lunatic is off the streets.

[In a room, Jeb Jab and Wendy's Employee are passing two cartridges of Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops between each other. Terry Lesler is watching the News broadcast]

Terry: That guy might be on to something.

[Cut to black]

Scott: Hey All, Scott here. I've heard the requests and yep- I'm finally gonna do it; today we're gonna be taking a look at house arrest! Take a look at your nearest ankle. If you have one of these guys plastered on it then you get it. House arrest has been a thing since the glory days- A.K.A. the 17th century. Simpler times... when you could force somebody to not leave their house without ankle jewelry. Now, I've recently been subjected to house arrest so consider this a ‘first impressions’ not a full-on review. This blows!

[A knocking is heard. Terry and Jeb walk into the room]

Terry: Hey-hey! We couldn't've helped but notice that you've been completely rejected by society!

Scott: Yeah... I've been trying to pull of that look lately.

Jeb: Heh. Sure is crazy what a little bit of public indecency will do to somebody.

Terry: Yeah. Some people are saying you're on a bit of a depression-fueled Dick Vitale protest. Here. This always helps me when I'm down.

[He throws a cartridge of Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops at Scott. Scott tosses it away]

Scott: No, I'm FINE! Hey, you wanna know what depression doesn't look like?

[He grins awkwardly. Dom walks in]

Employee: Hey guys! Woah, you got "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops? I love these things!

Scott: Alright- THAT is why I’m on some depression-fueled Dick Vitale protest. A few hours ago, I was living it up with the big shots! Madden ‘94, Madden ‘97, Madden ‘11… I had options! But now all people play is Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops- really! WHAT EVEN IS DICK VITALE?!

Jeb: Not Satan, that’s for sure.

Scott: Why even is everybody so pro-Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops?!

Employee: Because it’s awesome, baby!

[Wendy's Employee, Jeb and Terry start cheering and exclaiming various Dick Vitale catchphrases]

Jeb: Woo! He’s the best.

Terry: [deadpan] It’s completely by law.

Jeb: Yup!

[Jeb points at the camera]

Jeb: This one’s for all you government officials out there: I love Dick Vitale.

Employee: He’s just the perfect blend of Dick and Vitale.

Terry: Yeah, we’ve all been conditioned since birth to be pro-”Awesome Baby!” College Hoops. But you still have to tell me; what’s a ‘Madden’?”

[Cuts to Scott who stares open-mouthed in shock]

Scott: Alright, guys. I-I don’t think I’m from here. I think the time-space continuum was altered and I’m from a time where Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops wasn’t the only sports game you could call your own. Look- I have proof.

[He shows them his copy of Madden ‘08 on Xbox 360. They gasp dramatically in response]

Scott: It’s a football video game franchise that releases every year that peaked in 2007. My timeline had loads of these things; all with different numbers after the word ‘Madden’!

Terry: Oh my God.

Scott: I just want people to know that there’s more to life than just games based around Dick Vitale!

Jeb: I-I have a confession. I-I… I don’t really like Dick Vitale.

[Scott exclaims and points at him]

Scott: OH-OH! What-what’s the name of that? I know it… FREE SPEECH!

Terry: This Dick Vitale sh*t has been spanked on to our brains since we were young. And quite frankly- I don’t know why.

Scott: Listen, there’s more to life than just one sports game. And if I can’t get back to my timeline then I’m gonna try my best to change this timeline… to prove to everybody that Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops doesn’t have to be the only one we can like.

Employee: Now those are fifty words I can get behind!

[Dick Vitale saying “Awe-awe-awe-awe-awesome, baby!” can be heard playing as a ringtone from the Employee’s pocket]

Scott: [cheerfully] We can start by changing that ringtone.

Terry: Well. If we really wanna know why Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops is a “thing these days”, we can just go ask our Supreme Leader… lives down the street.

Scott: Neat sh*t! I’ll head out with you guys.

Jeb: Wait. Don’t you have one of those “I hate Dick Vitale and I’m proud of it” bracelets on?

Scott: It’s okay! They ran out of small ankle bracelets so they had to give me an XL one. I can just slip this off right now and put it on a ceiling fan or whatever and they’ll think I’m moving around the house.

[It cuts to the ankle bracelet attached to a spinning ceiling fan. It then cuts to a monitor showing a radar signal saying “SCOTT WOZNIAK TRACKING”. The dot representing the bracelet is spinning rapidly around the screen. An officer is watching the tracker]

Officerery Smith: He’s gone f*cking mad.

[The scene changes to show the outside of the Supreme Leader’s underground lair. The area is being patrolled. Text appears to be typed on screen saying “Location: Just Outside Supreme Leader’s Underground Lair” and “Status: Totally Guarded”. Scott peeks out over the top of a crate. It cuts to the group hiding behind the crate]

Scott: Al-alright. What’s the plan here?

Employee: Mind wording that in a Dick Vitale context?

Terry: Yes. As much as I want to overthrow the government ‘n all, I still can’t really understand much if it’s not in the Dick Vitale genre.

Jeb: I think the entrance to our leader’s lair is underground in a hole over there. All we need to do is sneak past those guards.

Employee: I think I know how to distract ‘em.

[It cuts to show the guards, Guard Joe and Guard Bob pacing. Guard Joe stops to talk to Guard Bob]

Guard Joe: Man. I love Dick Vitale.

Guard Bob: Heh. Same!

[They both chuckle. Guard Joe suddenly looks surprised]

Guard Joe: HOLY SH*T! Is that Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops?!

[He points at the floor, showing a trail of Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops cartridges leading away from them]

Guard Bob: Maybe. We better play ‘em all to make sure.

Guard Joe: Let’s go.

[The two leave. It cuts back to the group behind the crate]

Scott: Alright. You guys go in. I’ll hang back and uh stay guard.

[They nod. The next scene shows the entrance to the lair and the silhouettes of the group entering. They reach a red curtain and enter. The Supreme Leader is sitting at a table covered in Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops, writing. He stops and sees the group. They all stare at each other, tense music playing. Dom breaks the silence and the group all smile]

Employee: Dick Vitale?

Supreme Leader: Dick Vitale! He’s good, right?

Terry: So good!

Supreme Leader: It’s just so great to see people who get it. He’s just-

Supreme Leader & Employee: [In unison] The perfect balance of Dick and Vitale!

Supreme Leader: Well you’ve all won me over! What can I do for you?

Terry: You know, we do have a few Dick Vitale’s “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops questions for ya.

Supreme Leader: Shoot!

Jeb: Why are you wearing a mask?

Supreme Leader: I mean, I’m not Dick Vitale, so why would I show my face?

Terry: Fair reasoning.

Supreme Leader: Yeah, you guys can show your faces all you want. I just don’t want to go to Hell.

Employee: So how did the world get so “Awesome, Baby”?

Supreme Leader: Well I would normally lie and just say “it’s always been like this”, but you guys seem pretty cool; talking about Dick Vitale and all. So, originally things weren’t like this. And there were a ton of other sports games besides Dick Vitale’s “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops. I refused to like that. I built this time machine to travel back in time, persuade Dick Vitale to buy the patent for all video games and force no other sports games to be created other than Dick Vitale’s “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops! Aaand also pulled some strings with the government to make me the head honcho of all Dick Vitale related activities… on top of that they call Dick Vitale related activities mandatory for all citizens.

Jeb: Man, it’s so nice knowing someone with the means of time travel uses it to force everyone to love Dick Vitale’s “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops!

Supreme Leader: Somebody had to do it. I’m also working on a bunch of new things; like this goo that turns any game you drown in it into a cyborg. And this lie detector I bought at Cracker Barrel! Anyways, I have to prepare a statement to the people tonight. Some nutjob was talking about Madden or whatever. Pshh! Musta crossed over from another timeline. We’ll be exterminating him soon but I’m gonna tell everyone he’s crazy or something. Let me just find my access code for the satellite transmission and we’ll be aaall set!

[The NFL theme song suddenly starts playing as a ringtone from the Employee’s Pocket]

Supreme Leader: How did you get that ringtone?

Employee: Not from somebody who told me all about the wonders of Madden NFL football, that’s for sure!

[The Supreme Leader takes out a gun]

Supreme Leader: Alllright guys. I’m sorry I have to do this but you all know too much. We can’t have people like you poisoning everyone’s minds. Especially with the info you know.

[Jeb points behind the Supreme Leader]

Jeb: Hey-hey look! It’s Dick Vitale!

[The Supreme Leader stops for a moment before putting the gun down]

Supreme Leader: Alright. I know you’re lying, but… I can’t take a chance like that so BOOM!

[He turns around. Dick Vitale is not there]

Supreme Leader: Okay! Not there-

[He turns back around to show that the group has already escaped]

Supreme Leader: SON OF A BITCH!

[The scene changes back to New Location McGee. Scott, Terry, Wendy's Employee and Jeb run in]

Jeb: [tiredly] Oh my God! What a rush!

Employee: And on top of that we’re home by 9 too!

Scott: Alright. What did you guys discover?

Terry: Oh. He’s f*ck.

Jeb: He altered the space-time continuum and put me in this f*cking abomination!

[He starts tugging on his sweatshirt]

Jeb: I CAN’T GET IT OFF!

Terry: Yeah! He travelled back in time to make Dick Vitale’s “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops the only game we can play. And he put himself in power!

Employee: He was gonna make a statement to the people tonight over satellite but I swiped his access code. The code is “Dick Vitale”.

Scott: Wow! That’s the nicest felony anybody’s ever committed for me! But since we have the access code now, we can tell everybody the truth! We gotta set up a camera…

[It cuts to show buildings in the city outside. The screens previously showing Dick Vitale’s “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops turn to static. They change to show Scott making his broadcast]

Scott: Alright. What’s up virgins and virgettes? I got big news for you all. Dick Vitale’s “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops is NOT the only sports game you can play! Look at THIS!

[He holds up Madden ‘08. Guard Joe and Guard Bob are shown watching the broadcast from the street]

Guard Joe: WHAT THE F*CK IS THAT?!

[It cuts back to the screens]

Scott: There are more possibilities out there than just Dick Vitale’s “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops. We all deserve to have an opinion; to be okay with the idea that sometimes it’s okay not to like Dick Vitale’s “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops. We all deserve to have options with our sports games, and the right to pick one to call our own.

[The broadcast ends. Scott turns to talk to the group in the room]

Scott: And THAT is how you tell everybody everything they believe was a lie!

Terry: Yeah. I gotta hand it to ya- you really convinced me my whole life’s been a sham.

Scott: We gotta see how people are responding!

[He walks over to the window. He opens the blinds and they all look out to see everything is red, on fire and exploding. Sirens wail. Graffiti is shown on buildings saying “everything is a lie” and “theres more than dickie v”]

Scott: Ah. Looks like the Wii Shop Channel closed early.

[The Supreme Leader is shown looking at the destruction on a monitor]

Supreme Leader: This. Is. Bullsh*t. I’m not going to let my dream be thrown away just because some straggler from another timeline wants to change all my hard work! These people need to be shown that Dick Vitale’s “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops is a RIGHT- not a privilege. They need to see just how powerful this game is...

[The Supreme Leader pulls a black cover off a plastic tub filled with a green substance. There is paper taped to the tub, reading “THAT GOO THAT TURNS GAMES INTO CYBORGS I WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER”]

Supreme Leader: ...they ALL need to be taught a lesson!

[He grabs the Sega Genesis with a Dick Vitale’s “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops cartridge in it. He drowns the Sega Genesis repeatedly in the goo tub, yelling angrily. It cuts to black before the text “Probably 5 Minutes Later” appears on screen. The scene changes back to the group at New Location McGee. An earthquake rocks the area and they all stumble]

Jeb: What was that?!

[Wendy's Employee runs to the window, opening a slit in the blinds to look outside. It cuts to show a street lined with stores. A car drives by and suddenly the foot of the Genesis Mech is seen stomping down. The scene cuts to show the Genesis Mech stomping through the city]

Genesis Mech: [garbled] SEGA!

[Wendy's Employee is shown moving away from the window. He turns to the others]

Employee: Alright, I’m just gonna say it; I think he went too far.

[The Supreme Leader is shown speaking from a screen]

Supreme Leader: You FOOLS! You thought Dick Vitale’s “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops WASN’T the only sports game you could play?! That’s ridiculous. You’ve angered the Dick Vitale’s “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops Gods. Time Warner Interactive will smite you all. You’ve asked for this!

[The Genesis Mech is shown shooting a laser at a building. It explodes]

Scott: He’s destroying the city with his love for Dick Vitale’s “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops!

Terry: Hate to be a buzzkill, but… I usually call it quits when these sorts of things happen.

Employee: So I stole the guy’s whatever-a-teleportation-base-is for NOTHING!

[The Employee slams the teleportation base down on the ground. Scott looks at it, thinking]

Scott: Wait.

[He holds up the teleportation base. It has a label saying “Teleportation Base - Teleports to GIANT MECH”

Scott: This’ll teleport me inside of that giant robot! He might be in there controlling it!

[He places the teleportation base on the floor and steps on it]

Scott: I’m going in there to fight for the right to Madden ‘08. I don’t know if I’m gonna survive but if he kills me… at least I’ll die fighting for what I believe in.

Jeb: It’s cold up there, you might wanna- wanna put on a coat.

Scott: [Putting a coat on] Alright. I’ll text you guys if I die!

[Terry snaps his fingers]

Terry: Looking forward to it!

[Scott huffs out a breath and they all wave at each other. The teleportation base activates and Scott vanishes in a beam of light. He reappears in another beam of light inside of the Genesis Mech. He stands still for a moment before keeling over]

Scott: F*CK! That stung!

[He begins to walk, looking around uneasily. A label saying “TIME MACHINE WARNING: DESTRUCTION BY EXPLOSION WILL CAUSE TIMELINE TO REVERT” is seen. Scott walks up to the window of the Mech, looking out at the destroyed city. Fire crackling, gunshots and sirens are heard]

Dick Vitale: Awesome, baby!

[A display stating “CURRENTLY PLAYING DICK VITALE” is seen.]

Dick Vitale: Awe-awe-awe-awe-awesome, baby!

[The camera pans to show the game being played]

Dick Vitale: Slam jam, baby!

[Suddenly, Scott is tackled. Him and his attacker are transported into the game world through a purple pixelated portal. The Supreme Leader and Scott are now sprites. Scott is dazed and the Supreme Leader starts to rapidly punch, kick and whip Scott, flinging him up to above the game screen. Scott recovers and angrily points down at the Supreme Leader]

Scott: It’s gonna take a lot more than aggravated assault and battery to stop me! AH-

[He is hit by a basketball with Dick Vitale’s face on it, causing him to fall back down onto the court. The Supreme Leader appears and kicks Scott, sending him flying into the real world. The sound of bowling pins falling is heard. The Genesis Mech is shown to be continuing its rampage. Scott, on the floor, spits up water]

Scott: [grimacing] Argh… what, does it look like I’m made outta blood to you?

[The Supreme Leader steps out of a pixelated portal which appears coming from the game. He approaches Scott]

Supreme Leader: You stupid, dumb, dumb, stupid Madden ‘08 fan.

[Scott looks down at his feet to see a hole in the floor. The Supreme Leader hold Scott up by the neck]

Supreme Leader: Don’t you understand it’s easier to conform to society than tell everyone a game called Madden ‘25 exists?

Scott: Gah- my neck’s falling asleep.

[The Supreme Leader shoves the box for Dick Vitale’s “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops in Scott’s face]

Supreme Leader: THIS will be life from now on. Everything shall be awesome, baby!

Scott: [struggling] No! Everything should be centered around a yearly football game franchise by EA SPORTS!

[Scott throws Madden ‘08. It hits a lever, causing a whirring sound to start. The Genesis Mech jostles and Scott falls out of it. The Mech punches Scott while he is falling, making him crash through the ground. He lands in the Supreme Leader’s Underground Lair with a large bang. Madden ‘08 falls into the tub of goo. Everything is quiet for a moment as the camera shows the Genesis Mech waiting above ground. Suddenly, drums start up and beams of light shoot out from the hole in the ground.

The The Madden ‘08 Cyborg emerges, ready to battle. Battle music plays and both mechs fight- the Genesis Mech shoots a laser at the Madden Cyborg, which is deflected back at it by the Madden Cyborg’s arms. The Genesis Mech punches the Madden Cyborg with it’s controller hands. It kicks and tangles the Madden Cyborg’s arm with its wire, attempting to pull it down. The Madden Cyborg pulls the wire and snaps it. The Genesis Mech flies backwards and lands with its circuitry exposed. The Madden ‘08 Cyborg’s face opens up, showing Scott, who throws Madden ‘08 at the downed Genesis Mech. It explodes. The time machine, which still says “TIME MACHINE WARNING: DESTRUCTION BY EXPLOSION WILL CAUSE TIMELINE TO REVERT” also explodes. Everything fades to white and the music ends

Scott is lying on the floor in the white void. He is bleeding from his mouth and his voice is echo-ey. He groans and sits up]

Scott: Ohh my God.

[He wipes the blood off his face with his sleeve. He huffs]

Scott: That… that hurt my skin and body.

[Scott looks up and sees the Supreme Leader coming towards him. The Supreme Leader removes his mask and sighs in relief]

Supreme Leader: I can breathe again!

Scott: Was it worth it? Why did you do all this?

Supreme Leader: Well…

[He sits behind Scott, who looks concerned]

Supreme Leader: I just couldn’t accept that people didn’t care about Dick Vitale’s “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops!

Scott: F*CK!

[Scott keels over but the Supreme Leader keeps talking passionately]

Supreme Leader: That was the sports game I cared about-

Scott: ARGH! GOD!

Supreme Leader: -and to see everyone talking about anything other than that? I-

Scott: ARGH!

Supreme Leader: -I just wanted things to go my way for once.

[Scott gets back up, panting]

Scott: Gah… I didn’t know blood bled that much… urgh, listen, man… I was never into the idea of there being Madden games outside of the eighth one but… ya just gotta relax.

[The Supreme Leader looks deadpan at the camera]

Scott: There’s more to life than just Dick Vitale. And there’s more to life than Madden, too. Uh… there’s gotta be another sports game that you like.

Supreme Leader: Well… I guess… Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour is alright?

[Scott frowns off to the side, thinking]

Scott: That’s the one with Mario, right?

Supreme Leader: On a good day, yeah.

[Scott looks around]

Scott: What’s going on here, anyways?

Supreme Leader: Oh! The timeline’s resetting back to what it was before I took some… creative liberties with it.

Scott: Oo!

Supreme Leader: Except the explosion’s gonna wipe everything caught in it from the timeline… sooo…

[Scott has a flashback of him throwing Madden ‘08 at the Genesis Mech]

Scott: Ah!

Supreme Leader: Hey. I’m sorry. Maybe… Dick Vitale’s “Awesome Baby!” College Hoops… isn’t for everyone. I’m starting to see that now.

[Scott makes a finger gun at him]

Scott: Nice observation! I wish you realized that before you turned me into a blood dispenser. But… it’s okay.

[The two shake hands. Everything fades to white again. With a pop, the scene changes to Scott sat at his desk]

Scott: Well, if I understand this correctly, the time machine blew up because I sacrificed Madden ‘08. So, this is the exact same timeline from before… but now with even more no Madden ‘08.

[He sits at his computer and proceeds to search 'Madden' on YouTube. He watches videos of people talking about Madden]

???: Madden 2099 is the next evolution in mankind.

???: I bloody loved Madden ‘01!

???: It’s Madden ‘12! For the NES!

???: Time spent not playing John Madden is time spent being John Sadden.

???: Madden ‘07!

???: But it’s Madden ‘13 we’re talking about here.

Beta64: I like to wash myself off with a copy of Madden ‘07 on the GameCube.

[It cuts back to Scott on his computer]

Scott: You know what? I’m okay with this. Madden ‘08 may be gone but… at least everybody else has options. Hey I have all these other games to play. Like, right now I can play-

[He picks up Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash]

Scott: Jesus Christ- out of all options…

Scott: Well, after sitting at this desk for two years, talking about stupid Nintendo games and Madden ‘08… it’s a little weird saying that one of those things is gone…

[His phone rings. He answers it]

Phone: Hey, Scott! It’s your old pal, Sweepstakes Winner Announcery Jim, here! It’s my honor to tell ya- you’ve won our contest where you get to create whatever video game you desire!

[Scott does the O face. It cuts to him excitedly holding numerous copies of Madden ‘08]

Scott: I told them I wanted to make a game called Madden ‘08 for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 and Playstation 2 and all the old platforms and they’re making an HD remake of it too!!

[Scott screams in excitement. The credits music plays and the “It’s Awesome Baby!” title appears. Credits roll.]

jschlatt: Hey, Scott- you caught me playin’ Madden ‘05 for the GameBoy Advance. See, what I really like about this game is the gameplay. You really can’t beat it, Scott. You really f*cking can’t beat the gamepla-

???: Alexa? What is the definition of a virgin?

Alexa: Someone who likes Stuart Little and has never owned Madden ‘13 for the WiiU.

???: Oh. Well thank God I got my- OH MY- every tim-!

???: I’m truly infatuated with Madden ‘07 for the original Xbox. There simply is no better game.

???: I might have to give Madden ‘99 a 7.5 out of 10. It really is the Dark Souls of Japanese shoot-em-ups.

???: Sport.

Balrog: If John Madden was so good, where’s uh- where’s John Madden… 2?

RelaxAlax: Mr. Cat I always believe that having a protein-filled, healthy dose of Madden ‘07 for the Wii really starts your day off right! Oh… ohhh…

[End.]

  • Scott Wozniak had planned the episode since the first episode of Scott The Woz, Nintendo Switch Wish List.[6]
  • Nathaniel Bandy, a person who was featured through the Madden Video Contest commented "Scott the Lore", The Completionist, someone who had been featured as well in the video (but in a different way) commented, "Hey all, Jirard here", and ConnorEatsPants, the person portraying News Anchor Tom commented on the video saying "This is actually the best video I have ever seen on this site beyond the fact that I'm in it". Source Gaming, a group in which one member edits part-time for RelaxAlax, commented on the video saying "Fantastic video. It's really impressive how much you've grown. Keep up the great work!".
    • The Completionist's comment originally said "Hey y'all, Jirard here", a common misconception of Scott Wozniak's intro, it was most likely changed because of a reply by YouTube user Colm Morrissey (now Explosive Sock) stating "It’s “hey all” you sick fuck" which received over 330 Likes.
  • In The Rarest of Games Scott Wozniak mentions how he doesn't want NBA Elite 11 to be the rarest game of all time due to him already playing a basketball game in the year followed by him taking up the copy of Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby" College Hoops that's in his Sega Genesis on his desk, this refers to the events of It's Awesome Baby!.
  • At the end of the episode when the timeline is resetting to the status before RelaxAlax took "creative liberties with it" Scott Wozniak says that he just needs to relax, this causes him to look straight at the camera, this is a reference to how his name is RelaxAlax.
  • There is a potential plot hole in the episode, as Scott's Madden 08 Xbox 360 copy is drowned in that goo that turns games into cyborgs the cult leader was talking about earlier, but after that Scott comes out of the cyborg with a Madden 08 Xbox 360 copy in hand. This would imply that he was in possession of at least two copies of the game, but only one was inside of the spacetime continuum proof baggy. [7]

  • On December 16, 2019, the Scott The Woz YouTube channel posted a Community post announcing the episode's first anniversary, with a picture of the It's Awesome Baby! poster attached.

  • Bloopers from the episode were later released on June 10, 2020, on Scott's Stash.
  • Scott Wozniak portrayed the Supreme Leader in most scenes where he is masked instead of Alex Carducci,[3] this is presumably due to Wozniak living in the United States of America and Carducci living in Canada.
  • During filming, Scott Wozniak's camera would often focus on the Dick Vitale shirts.[10]
  • During filming, the audio from the microphone stopped recording, however, Scott Wozniak didn't originally notice, which meant they had to rerecord some lines.[11]
  • This is the only season finale to not be a Christmas special.
