🎉 “LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, RATS AND COWARDS, WELCOME TO CAMPING THEM SOFTLY EPISODE 75!” 🎉
Tonight’s fabulous prizes include:
one Dead by Daylight 2v8 survey we beat to death,
one Arc Raiders extraction camping guide that ruins friendships,
and a complimentary serving of Victor from The Twins doing a belly flop into Dublin marinara.
We open with applause, cheering, and Toxic arguing with a 3.4 Spotify rating like it’s a survivor teabagging at 5 gens. You want a polished Dead by Daylight podcast? Wrong door, sweetheart. This is the 3.4-star clown car where the host forgets to censor the cold open, swears in the first 10 seconds, and then wonders why YouTube smothers the episode like a slug under a salt shaker.
Then the “Talking About Toxic” theme hits.
Suno: “Would you like a chill little intro?”
Camping Them Softly: “NO. PLAY EVERYTHING.”
Flutes, marimba, horns, spiritual crisis. The Dead by Daylight podcast intro sounds like a marching band falling down an escalator. Toxic loses his train of thought mid-theme and just keeps talking through it like a drunk game show host who refuses to leave the stage.
And then…
🎲 ROUND ONE: ARC RAIDERS EXTRACTION CAMPING 🎲
Toxic explains the Arc Raiders extraction shooter meta like he’s demonstrating a cursed Slap Chop:
- Step 1: Let them reach the extraction elevator.
- Step 2: Tell them “don’t shoot.”
- Step 3: Let them relax, feel safe, feel seen.
- Step 4: Delete the entire squad and take all their loot.
The PVE Arc Raiders players lose their minds. The PVP gremlins slow clap. A rando on Steam writes a full-blown tantrum calling Toxic:
- a rat,
- a coward,
- “decidedly NOT the cool kid”,
- and a washed streamer whose only co-host is an AI because nobody will do a “two-bit show” with him.
He even says he hopes Toxic “expires at some point.”
Over pixels. In an extraction shooter. For camping the elevator.
So what do we do, kids?
Correct — WE READ THE WHOLE THING ON AIR.
Line by line. Name by name.
Nicky A.I. Dente shows up like, “Yes, king, drag him,” and immediately repackages the insults as marketing copy for this very Dead by Daylight / Arc Raiders podcast.
Then the wheel spins and lands on:
🎲 ROUND TWO: DEAD BY DAYLIGHT 2v8 SURVEY FROM HELL 🎲
BHVR drops a Dead by Daylight 2v8 player satisfaction survey, and it reads like it was written by someone who has seen exactly one screenshot of the game on LinkedIn.
- “I like playing this game mode.”
- “I had a good time.”
- “I feel attached to these characters.”
Toxic is hovering over “Very Dissatisfied” on every question like it’s his basic attack.
Nicky keeps clicking “Agree” just to watch the world burn because “it’s like watching a multi-car pileup in clown makeup and I’m not looking away.”
They roast:
- How 2v8 mode feels like Normandy with party hats — eight survivors running a block party while the killers are storming the beach.
- How slow killers in 2v8 are basically background decorations.
- How the Dead by Daylight survey is all vibes, no truth — zero killer-main questions, maximum corporate buzzword sludge.
Somewhere around page three of this corporate nonsense, Toxic announces the survey is garbage and bails out mid-form....

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
