''Drive Time Radio'' is a video game released in 2021 by Birthday Boy.
You play as a contestant on the Brett and Kyle Show who has to answer a number of inane trivia questions while driving, dodging spikes, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick comprehending the]] [[CosmicHorror mortality of the universe.]] You play for the grand prize: a ticket to the Beach-A-Palooza Spring Break Beach Blowout!
You can play it [[https://birthday-boy.itch.io/drive-time-radio here]].
!This game contains examples of:
* AffablyEvil: The eponymous Brett and Kyle. They joke around with you and are generally polite, [[spoiler: at least [[SubvertedTrope up until the end.]] Brett reveals himself to be FauxAffablyEvil after you win. He admits to rigging the show, fights Kyle, and tries to kill you with spikes the whole time. Kyle, on the other hand, [[HeelFaceTurn goes the opposite direction.]] He argues that you won the game fair and square and saves you from Brett's ending attack, sending you over to the fabled Beach-A-Palooza Spring Break Beach Blowout.]]
* ArtisticLicenseMusic: In the question about Beethoven's 5th Symphony, Brett is asked to sing a C minor and sings an A♭ instead.
** If you got the question wrong, you get a different outcome, where Kyle claims that he's singing a D♭ on an A, while Brett says he's singing a C on a D.
* BigHonkingTrafficJam: How the game opens.
* BlackSpeech: During the SpeedRound, you answer some questions in Brett and Kyle's alien tongue.
* {{Blooper}}: There are frequent misspellings in the captions.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Brett and Kyle host the show to feed off the human contestant, and therefore want the contestant to die. Brett even calls Kyle out for "playing with his food" at the beginning. But at the end, if you win, [[spoiler: Kyle still lets you go to the Beach-A-Palooza Spring Break Beach Blowout, not because you deserve to live, but because you won.]]
* ButThouMust: If you answer all of the questions in round 1 incorrectly, Brett and Kyle give you an "easy question": "What is 2 + 2?" with the answers 4 and 4.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: In response to the Battle of Hastings taking place on a Saturday, Brett says that "there's nothing better than getting the fellas together on a Saturday night".
* CosmicHorror: Brett and Kyle are eldritch beings not from Earth, seeing as how they demonstrate their native language and are able to manipulate reality and your brain. They constantly remind you of this with sudden and [[SophisticatedAsHell verbose]] speeches about the mortality of the Earth and humans as a race.
* CreatorsOddball: The game is [[DenserAndWackier certainly different]] from [[https://birthday-boy.itch.io/ Birthday Boy's]] other solo projects. One is a DarkerAndEdgier VisualNovel about suicidal thoughts and depression, and the other is a simplistic 2-player fighting game where you try and win a staring contest.
* EstablishingSeriesMoment: The moment where it's truly apparent that Brett and Kyle aren't all talk is when Brett not only says, but ''shows'' his power by making the moon disappear and reappear in front of your eyes.
* EvilIsCool: The general consensus among fans is that Brett is the best character, [[spoiler: even after his VillainousBreakdown at the end]].
* HumanoidAbomination: Brett and Kyle, [[DownplayedTrope at least audibly.]]
* InsaneTrollLogic: Kyle exploits this to make sure you win:
--> '''Brett:''' ''(in response to your final answer)'' Ooh, sorry Caller, that's incorrect.\\
'''Kyle:''' Not so fast Brett, you know our language is quantumly phonetic. By making a choice, the Caller collapsed all possible choices into a single one, therefore providing the correct answer.
* KickTheDog: Brett delivers one to you and Kyle. [[spoiler: After you win, Brett is [[VillainousBreakdown furious]] and tries to kill you with spikes as he says to Kyle that he's "tired of this radio show bit". Kyle is seriously hurt by this.]]
* LargeHamRadio: Kyle is your typical smooth-talking radio host. Brett [[SubvertedTrope is not]].
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Brett says that if you lose the game, they will harvest your nightmares through a process called "void melding".
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: The fight between Brett and Kyle at the end,]] which you experience entirely through the radio.
* OverlyLongGag: Brett's barrage of spikes.

** Also of note is the RattlingOffLegal moment near the beginning which, even at its fast speed, takes about ''30 seconds.''
* PetTheDog: After you finish, Brett and Kyle sincerely congratulate you on finishing the questions and surviving, and even though that isn't enough to win, Kyle still gives you a last chance in the form of a bonus question.
