**Day -49: "Bits of Your Life"** is a Broadcast in *Not For Broadcast*. It is the fourth bonus level released for the game, and the second of three 'Additional Content' DLC broadcasts.

## Pre-Broadcast

*There are six possible major paths that the broadcast can take, determined by the order of guests chosen, as follows:*

 Chelsea Bunns
 Jimmy Chizzle
 Ivan Vodovich
 Dorothy Hammermann
 Julia Salisbury

*By default, the first broadcast, referred to as a 'pass', in a playthrough will always be the Default Path (called "Boring Shit!" by Dave), before the opportunity to achieve other paths becomes available in subsequent passes.*

*Any guest order that does not meet the requirements listed above will instead be placed on a separate 'Off-Track' path, culminating in 4 different path endings of its own based on whether certain requirements are met:*

 Peter drinks at least 5 times
 Peter angered at least 2 times
 Peter drinks at least 5 times AND is angered at least 2 times

### Broadcast Room

#### First Pass

Dave excitedly greets the player, telling them that they're inside his head, or possibly that he might even be inside theirs, as it's hard to say. He says it's not important, stating that what is important is how Not For Broadcast: Bits of Your Life is the best fucking DLC they've ever played. Dave taunts the Not For Broadcast: Live & Spooky and Not For Broadcast: The Timeloop DLCs, calling them 'dead and pukey' and 'brewer's droop', respectively.

He states that Bits of Your Life is 'the one', that it's gonna be the real deal, a rollercoaster, an all-fucking-expenses-paid uber bastard, and that best of all: the player gets to play as Dave, or with him, or something. Dave instructs them to strap in, and begins to explain how they're going to fuck shit up, but gets interrupted by Boseman calling on the Intercom. He expresses disgust, telling the player to hang on.

#### Second Pass

(...)
The previous show on Channel One gives the summary of programming for the rest of the evening:

* 9:30pm - The Night Visitor - an in-depth documentary about the downfall of Jacob Hamilton-Mann, poorly narrated by Patrick Bannon.
* 10:30pm - Incisors - Doctor Adrian Atkinson-Blimey will be sinking his teeth into the current 'Cost of living' crisis, by interviewing a multimillionaire, a nurse, and a bin man, to see who is suffering the worst.
* 11:30pm - Live & Spooky - Wayne de Spiritwhistle, with Jordan Rankly along for the ride, leads another terrifying exploration to ask if the Old Brewery in Arseminster is haunted by the spirit of its old murdered paymasters, or whether it just smells a bit whiffy. Strong language and scenes of violence are certain right from the very start.
* NOW - Bits Of Your Life

### In The Studio

#### Default Path

Behind the scenes, Eamon Tightly is holding a headset up to his ear, in the middle of a conversation with Eric. He says that while he realizes the point Eric's making, his therapist has made it clear how he performs best when they have a plan and they stick to it. Eamon adjusts his glasses, suggesting Eric not make any last minute changes, as it is his intention to stick to their pre-arranged script.

He asks Eric if that's alright, before telling him that he actually doesn't care, as he's a leaf in the wind. Eamon notes that, in addition, as they're going out live, there's really sweet fuck-all Eric can do about it. He puts his headset down, acknowledging Eric's directions to go on standby for the start of the broadcast.

#### Fight!!! Path

Behind the scenes, Eamon Tightly is holding a headset up to his ear, in the middle of an argument with Eric. He tells Eric that he's not getting into a fight with Dave, and that Eric will just have to go up to the Broadcast Room and explain something to him, noting that it's 'just counting, for fucks sake'. Eamon recognizes Eric's fear of Dave, admitting that he's scared of Dave too - but only a bit.

After a pause, Eamon claims that his face is more valuable than Eric's, so in the event anyone's going to get punched, it's probably better that it's Eric. He says that Eric might get lucky, and Dave might just kick him somewhere, but gets cut off before he can finish. Eamon puts his headset down, acknowledging Eric's directions to go on standby for the start of the broadcast.

#### Brother? Path

Behind the scenes, Eamon Tightly is holding a headset up to his ear, in the middle of a conversation with Eric. He says that while he realizes the point Eric's making, his family has made it clear how his episodes are embarrassing for them. Eamon suggests the two of them stick to the script, so he doesn't have to face the ire of all four of his brothers, or his sister, which he notes would be worse.

He tells Eric that nothing is more important than family, suggesting that he might one day realize such if Eric can ever persuade a lady to let him cough his muck somewhere up in her, but gets cut off before he can finish. Eamon puts his headset down, acknowledging Eric's directions to go on standby for the start of the broadcast.

#### Political Path

Behind the scenes, Eamon Tightly is holding a headset up to his ear, in the middle of a discussion with Eric. He states that while he realizes the point Eric's making, Bits Of Your Life isn't the news, and they're not reacting live to the politics, claiming the show to instead be a tightly-constructed, wholesome piece of family entertainment.

Eamon says that watching the politics is for lonely people who enjoy being perpetually disappointed. He tells Eric that, personally, he'd rather take a cut-throat razor and cut the head off of somewhere on his body, but gets cut off before he can finish. Eamon puts his headset down, acknowledging Eric's directions to go on standby for the start of the broadcast.

#### Carnage Path

Behind the scenes, Eamon Tightly is holding a headset up to his ear, trying and failing to contact Eric. He tells the camera operator in front of him that the headset is useless, asking what the point is in giving him a headset that doesn't even work. Eamon asks what they think it is, and admits he considers the circumstances to be a bad sign. He states that while he isn't one for omens, the headset not working is a bad omen.

Eamon pauses for a moment, laughing as he realizes the headset wasn't turned on. He remarks to the camera operator that it's lucky, as the situation could have been carnage otherwise. Eamon finally contacts Eric, apologizing and claiming that there were technical problems. He puts his headset down, acknowledging Eric's directions to go on standby for the start of the broadcast.

### Intermission

Peter Clement is led outside by Eamon, as he continues to express awe at the dancers being in on the surprise all along. Eamon directs him down a set of stairs, warning Peter to mind his step. As they walk, he tells Eamon that he's a huge fan of the show, calling it incredible and admitting he never believed that the people on it didn't actually know. Eamon points out to the viewers that Peter is 'loving this'.

Turning around the side of a building, a crew member opens a door and gestures for them to head inside. Heading through, Peter exclaims that he's absolutely flabbergasted, and states he hasn't been that speechless since he was about three fucking years old. Eamon reminds him how he's on a family show, and Peter retorts that the viewers know what he's like.

They take a door back outside, where a woman is waiting. Eamon signs her his autograph, thanking her and saying it's lovely to meet her. Peter shakes the woman's hand, informing her about how he's running for Prime Minister and trusts that he can have her vote. Peter Clement moves to catch back up with Eamon, asking how long he's been planning the surprise for.

Eamon doesn't answer, and Peter Clement chases after him, entering Harkes Theatre. Eric stands outside the entrance, following Peter and leading him further inside. The camera tilts upwards to focus on the theatre's sign, as the rest of the background is replaced by a starry background. The text 'with Eamon Tightly' appears on the bottom of the screen in pink decorative font.

## Break 1

### Post-Roll

#### Frank's Birthday

Peter walks up to the monitor and crosses his arms, laughing. Eric taps him on the shoulder and asks if everything is okay. He tells Eric that he remembers the clip being shown, mentioning that LJ sulked for a week.

Peter exclaims that Eric made a good choice, and laughs again. Eric remarks that, if he's honest, it's not his choice. He looks off-screen and asks if the broadcast can get reset for the next segment, as Peter Clement continues to watch the monitor.

#### Shock Announcement

Peter walks up to the monitor and crosses his arms, staring at the screen. Eric taps him on the shoulder and asks if everything is okay. Peter hostilely questions if the clip being shown is some sort of fucking joke, wondering why Eric would want to remind him of it.

Eric anxiously informs Peter that he doesn't choose the play-in clip, and that it's instead chosen by 'some bloke called Dave' in the Broadcast Room. Peter acknowledges Eric's statement, telling him that he'll remember Dave.

Dave dejectedly exclaims shit, mentioning that he's going to have to leave the country.

## Break 3

### Default Path

Eric announces that they're out, as all the guests mingle amongst themselves; Peter chats with his family and Dorothy, Ivan flirts with Chelsea, and Julia and Jimmy quietly talk to each other. Eamon walks up to Eric, telling him that it just goes to show what he always says: if you want good wholesome family entertainment, stick to the script. The two of them walk off in opposite directions.

### Fight!!! Path

Eric announces that they're out, as Eamon asks if everyone is still alive. Julia and Chelsea stand around uneasily, while Eric questions why Eamon chose to do the song. Eamon replies that he thought if he did, the show might end and he'd finally get home to his many children.

Dorothy instructs the two to arrive at her office at 6:30am, shouting that they've got futures to plan, and walks off smugly. Eamon expresses astonishment at having to arrive at 6:30 in the morning, turning to Eric and wondering if Dorothy doesn't sleep.

### Off-Track Drunk Path

Eric announces that they're out, and Eamon asks Peter if the show was bad, as he thinks it was probably bad. Peter initially confuses Eamon as referring to the singing, but realizes what he meant, and answers that it probably was. As they talk, all the guests begin to celebrate; Julia and Jimmy hug, Ivan flirts with Chelsea, and Dorothy chats with Peter's parents.

Eric slaps Peter on the shoulder, thanking him for what he did and exclaiming that he really saved them. Peter replies that it's not his first rodeo, and remarks that he'll see if he can't do the same for the country, before walking off to join the rest of the guests. Eamon wonders what Peter meant by that, asking Eric if he's going into politics. Eric guides Eamon off the set, telling him that he'll explain it while on the way to Eamon's therapist.

### Off-Track Angry Path

Peter glances around the Bits Of Your Life set before announcing that they're out. He thanks everyone and walks off, muttering that it's just the fucking job.

### Off-Track Drunk & Angry Path

Eric weakly announces that they're out, before dropping to the floor unconscious. Peter releases Eamon from his chokehold and, while Eamon tries to crawl away, pulls him by his legs. Eamon screams as Peter belts out a war cry.
