Skeleton Realm LIVE!
Skeleton Realm LIVE! is a weekly internet livestream hosted by Doug Bleichner and Sam Wagstaff. The series is produced by MeMoreTV, an American media conglomerate. It airs every Wednesday at 8pm EST on the Skeleton Realm Youtube ChannelSkeleton Realm LIVE! is filmed in Skeleton Realm Studios.
History
In 2022, Doug Bleichner and Sam Wagstaff signed a contract with MeMoreTV to produce 800,000 episodes of an hour long weekly internet livestream called Skeleton Realm LIVE! Bleichner and Wagstaff received no money in this deal, up front, and are to be paid after the 800,000th episode is recorded. The show has since garnered the attention of various celebrities including Torn Up Stark White Whitaker and The Pastrymen. The show features Bleichner and Wagstaff giving information about their lives. The shows are not pre written or otherwise planned in any capacity as per the request of MeMoreTV executives who have demanded that Skeleton Realm LIVE feature completely off the cuff style podcast neo-real elements of hardcore "reality-speak" for fans of modern day "real-talk" or "manbabble."
Notable Features
Skeleton Realm LIVE! contains some notable features which set it apart from other livestreams or "podcasts." Despite frequent comparisons to traditional podcasts, the creators have pushed back on this characterization, with Bleichner going as far as to claim explicitly, "The show is not a podcast, it's not a fucking podcast."
Distinct visual elements of the show include its signature yellow curtains, which feature one prominent large fold dubbed Yellowmenn's Trench, and a white table and rotating Skeleton Realm "Seal of Approval" logo. Many episodes also feature a rotating item on Bleichner and Wagstaff's desk, perched atop a white rotating disk.
Graphics on the show are featured either over the shoulder ("OTS") or between Bleichner and Wagstaff on screen. They contain a distinct graphical style and are created by Bleichner.
The show's YouTube stream features a classic YouTube live chat in which Realmers converse among themselves and discuss the show as it happens. Bleichner and Wagstaff often refer to the chat and read various messages sent by chatting Realmers. The Skeleton Realm LIVE! live chat is moderated by Dana.
