Berds & Werds is a podcast by Berds & Nerds. We usually make comics about the news, but accidentally made a podcast instead.
This is the hundredth time I’m quitting social media for the last time.
Your father was the wind! And your mother smelled of elderberries!
In which we actually record the comic making process, which was the whole point, so it’s kinda weird it took us this long. God we are so dumb.
It’s true. If you eat banana pies, you will become fatter.
On the plus side, dying from Covid-19 doesn’t seem so bad anymore.
All future comics can be replaced by the dancing pallbearer meme.
We discuss the challenges of investing in a housing market that is literally trying to kill you.
We celebrate the return of our Lord and Savior...Jessie Raspberry. Yes that is actually her name. LOL
One of us had to pee really bad while recording this. Try to guess which one.
What happens when millions upon millions of people get cabin fever at the same time? Revolution? Anarchy? An accidental recreation of the Harlem Shake? Only time will tell.
If time and space are one, then social distancing is not enough; we must distance ourselves into a new dimension. The Joker dimension.
Like Goku, she's gonna be riding that cloud.
We’re back from our voyage aboard the Diamond Princess and boy are we glad to be back in our hometown...of Raccoon City.
Coronavirus is no excuse to abusing employees by forcing them to watch Pixar’s “Coco”
In 20 years we will all be the war boys of Imperator Greta Thunberg. Get ready.
The year just started but it's already kissing our a**. Fortunately Danny Devito cures everything.
These stupid franchises are over and so is this stupid decade.
If there is such a thing as a pediatric proctologist, please don’t tell us. We’d rather not know.
In a world of darkness, one man rises above and beyond...by eating a $120,000 banana off the wall and scrawling 'Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself' in its place.
It's that special time of year again...when billionaires run for president and grind their workforce into pulp.
First they came for the Corsola and I did nothing...
We butt-chug digital soylent and we just can’t stop.
What's the easiest way to scare a Blizzard executive on Halloween? Click to find out!
Where we discuss why being fat is better than being skinny and why modern exercise fads are intentionally humiliating.
We have seen the future and it is stupid, fat, and glorious. Also a seal.
Keeping it short and sweet, like Untitled Goose Game.
It’s finally time! Link’s Awakening (the remake) is out and we’re TOTALLY NOT PLAYING IT, because Untitled Goose Game is where it’s at.
The writer and artist fanboy over the FF7 Remake, but what the heck happened to Reno? We discuss everything we love and are baffled by the reveal of Midgar, Reno's chest, the reveal of summons, Reno's lips, FF7's campy vibes, Reno's bishounen appearance, god wtf happened to Reno?!
We took an unintentional break and somehow we worked harder during it. So we’re back from our anti-vacation, haggard and ready to work more! We talk about the latest Nintendo Direct, the many games being released, and Sarah’s condoning of violence if you spot a businessman playing a soon-to-be-released game on their Switch.
The world is on fire, but all we can talk about is Fire Emblem. Fire Emblem Fire Emblem Fire Emblem.
The title says it all, and thank god that she is the last.
Today we talk about how La Croix is made of freshly squeezed birbs, and how the ultimate superpower is to chill the fuck out.
Trying and failing to ignore the heavily armed elephant in the room. Seriously, we did our best to ignore it...but this is America.
We tried to talk about Fire Emblem but our computers kept exploding and killing us. Fortunately permadeath was off so we are back and thirsty for all the waifus and husbandos.
In this episode we realize the clairvoyant nature of FaceApp's latest update, and we consider the many possibilities of Elon Musk's Neuralink! Also we attempt to record the blocking stage of the comic-making process (warning: lots of keyboard clicking from Sarah).
Today we're going bananas over My Friend Pedro! Ironically we haven't played it yet. Nevertheless, Sarah seemed to really want to make this strangely demented comic. She's also wearing a lot of yellow, and consuming more bananas than ever...that's totally fine right?The Thursday comic is sadly not banana-related (which Pedro strongly disapproves of). It's all about Epic~
This week we made a comic about Cadence of Hyrule, why we love Zelda, and Sarah's strange obsession with drawing cute things in a dark light. As much as we hate talking about things that aren't related to Zelda, we brainstorm potential comic ideas for future Berds & Nerds comic strips! Also we're sorry about the constant Undertale references (we can't help it).
Today's podcast is a bit shorter, since we edited 95% of everything we talked about and concentrated on the main topics of this week's comics: Watch Dogs Legion's Ex-Assassin Grandma, and the presence of Marianne Williamson at the Democratic Debate.
Today we discuss Wizards Unite, the FF7 Remake, the significance of the Evangelion redub/resub, and some politically-charged content. We also lightly touch on the golden internet rule: the less something matters, the more the internet complains.
In this episode Sarah doesn't totally screw the podcast up! So we proceed to discuss Elon Musk's refusal to credit artists, and we stumble towards the main meat of the podcast: E3 2019. We discuss EA's so-so presentation, Bethesda's dismal attempts at regaining the trust of their gamers, Square-Enix revealing the FF7-Remake, the cinematic reveal of Elden Ring (a collaboration between FromSoftware and George R.R. Martin), Keanu Reeves taking the Cyberpunk 2077 stage, Ubisoft's Watchdogs Legion's most beloved character, and Nintendo's many, many announcements (Animal Crossing, Pokemon, and the BoTW sequel.
In this episode Sarah ruins everything. Literally everything. So the guilt is on her as we recap the construction of the two comics we made: Rolly Polly & Rogue(dis)like. We discuss E3, Keanu Reeves, the FF7 Remake, the Internet's love of WOOLOO(!), and DnD's most bafflingly crazy class (and the occasional DM's bane).
In this episode we are back at it! But we still make the usual blunders. We talk about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Pokemon Home & Sleep, Death Stranding and it's many bizarre layers, Sarah can't tell the difference between David Lynch and David Cage, Sozo can't tell the difference between Guillermo del Toro and Benicio del Toro, reveal the dark truth about the Berkeley "self-driving" robots, Marvel Entertainment creating audiobooks and our thoughts on interactive comics, and we solidify the algorithm dining experience.
In this episode we discuss how difficult it is to make podcasts, especially if you try to craft it carefully. Good thing we're crashing through with ours! Time to make all the mistakes!We discuss Neal Stephenson's relationship w/ Silicon Valley, the writer recognizing streamers in a nicer light, live-action Sonic being delayed, the Playdate console, Telltale games disappearing from GOG, Gaming Disorder, the Musk, the Zuck, more stuff about student loans and our rather straightforward way of looking at the threat on abortion (and in turn Roe v. Wade). Also we work too goddamn much.
In this episode the writer screws up…a lot. Lots of recordings lost, shitty comic decisions were made, and we own up to the fact that we sometimes spoil our own comic material. WHOOPSIES! We discuss mistakes, our favorite Magic the Gathering play styles, gushing about the Live D&D Weekend Event, Detective Pikachu love & Sonic hate, more dumb start-up/techie stuff, and uh...making a comic about controversial topics like abortion!
In the year 2019 everyone is making a podcast, especially folks who aren't qualified to do it...like us! This is the start of a janky experiment, in which we learn how to discuss things like proper human beings. In this episode we talk about the FF7 Remake, the Uber Strike, Narwhals spies, and the insidious nature of modern indentured servitude (aka student loans but WAY WORSE), alongside other topics that tickle us.
