A story-based fantasy game with longform arcs and queer relationship options? It's more likely than you think.

My guest is Caleb, a big ol' fan of the online multiplayer game Overwatch, and my co-player for a huge chunk of our D&D Tomb of Annihilation campaign. Listen to him and I gush over the beauties of tabletop RPGs, and why we find them so beloved.

We tried to talk about Twin Peaks but end up talking about Star Wars toys

Today, Katie joins us to talk about Latin and Greek language, literature, culture, and arts. Producer Colin tags in to join the discussion with his extensive, extensive knowledge of the subject. Why submit themselves to years upon years of study of such a topic? Is there anything dumber and nerdier than the classics? Tune in to find out!

Time for the episode nobody asked for and in fact many begged me not to do. Producer Colin, famous for the David Bowie/Jim Henson inaugural episode of this show, joins me in the hot seat with guest host Betsy Melin! Betsy asks us just what in the heck is the deal with Star Wars and why do we sink our heads deep into the black hole that is its lore on such a consistent basis. Bear in mind this was recorded a few months ago, before Episode 9, before the Mandalorian, and before Jedi: Fallen Order.

My guest today is all about that Macaulay Caulkin life. Now, "Macaulay Macaulay Caulkin Caulkin" is no regular celebrity worship. Betsy is here to explain how he differs from other celebs with a genuineness and reality that you can identify with.

A self-indulgent episode! The Sonic the Hedgehog comic ran for 290 issues over 24 years, not including the multiple spin-offs. It's the comic that got me into comics, and built this insane world of multiversal events and ancient Egyptian echidnas.This time it's Ixwonkr, my guest from the Anime/Speedrunning episode, acting as the host, as I go into my experience with the comic.

Anna Pavlova, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Napoleon Dynamite. Dance is, perhaps, the oldest art form we have. What draws us to it? How does one analyze and quantify "good" dance?

My friend Tobar goes into his own personal history to explain the power of one of the most classic superheroes, and how even a fictional character like Superman can be a beacon of hope to us in our darkest times.

It's all about bad movies that people love and bad games that people...are cursed to play forever. Stu Hicar, of the Statesmen podcast, is my guest to talk about why and how we love bad movies, in particular, the incredible film experience that is 1989's Teen Witch. The second topic is Assassin's Creed, a video game series that's been going about a decade and Stu has been along for the whole ride, whether he's wanted to or not. What does it mean to be a nerd about something that you know is "low quality?" Why are we nerds about these things?Stu's Podcast: https://fanlink.to/statesmenhttps://fanlink.to/statesmenIntro/Outro: "Show Me The Way" by VendrediSoundcloud- https://soundcloud.com/vendrediduo/14-vendredi-show-me-the-waySpotify- https://open.spotify.com/artist/728y8xDi9WMeYqKeuYgDF0Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/vendrediduo/

This week's episode is a big three parter. It's all about the small, oft-overlooked corners in this episode. Moon Knight is in his own corner of the Marvel Universe, bass guitars are the hidden backbone of any band, and the old Spider-man movies are instant classics now lost in the sea of recent cinematic universes.

Just because you beat a game, doesn't mean you're done with it. My friend Spencer aka Ixwonkr is a big fan of the Resident Evil video games, and spent a good chunk of time learning how one can beat the first game as fast as humanly possible. This took practice, sweat, and YouTube tutorials but he's top 10 in the world now. The second topic of discussion is anime, and just what the heck is it.Check out Spencer's podcast here!https://www.youtube.com/user/srock4774Intro/Outro: "Show Me The Way" by VendrediSoundcloud- https://soundcloud.com/vendrediduo/14-vendredi-show-me-the-waySpotify- https://open.spotify.com/artist/728y8xDi9WMeYqKeuYgDF0Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/vendrediduo/

This episode I'm chatting with John Garrity about professional wrestling and Kingdom Hearts. Both these topics involve long-form storytelling with overly-complicated plots and impressive technical skill. John is someone who knows how to see the talent and heart behind convoluted writing and flashy cliche effects, and to hear him talk about that appreciation is really interesting.Intro/Outro: "Show Me The Way" by VendrediSoundcloud- https://soundcloud.com/vendrediduo/14-vendredi-show-me-the-waySpotify- https://open.spotify.com/artist/728y8xDi9WMeYqKeuYgDF0Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/vendrediduo/

In a very special episode of Dumb Nerd Thing, I speak with my mom, Anne Gearhart. She talks about one of her favorite artists, Lucinda Williams. Lucinda Williams is a folk/country star that puts a lot of poetry and emotion into her lyrics and it's a type of connection with an artist that a lot of us can relate to. Anne has also worked as a pediatrician for her entire adult life, and has a passion for child care, literacy, and their health.Intro/Outro: "Show Me The Way" by VendrediSoundcloud- https://soundcloud.com/vendrediduo/14-vendredi-show-me-the-waySpotify- https://open.spotify.com/artist/728y8xDi9WMeYqKeuYgDF0Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/vendrediduo/

In the second episode, I interview Jack, a major music nerd and closet Skyrim nerd. We talk about the 2011 fantasy video game and what it shares in common with Norwegian Black Metal. What does it mean to be passionate about something? What draws us in to fantasy and escapism?Intro/Outro: "Show Me The Way" by VendrediSoundcloud- https://soundcloud.com/vendrediduo/14-vendredi-show-me-the-waySpotify- https://open.spotify.com/artist/728y8xDi9WMeYqKeuYgDF0Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/vendrediduo/

How many of us are lucky to have a bar we frequent where everybody knows our name? How about for 11 seasons? Hilarious comedian and writer Matt Manser joins host Cassi Jerkins to talk about the hit TV show “Cheers”! Matt watched the show as a kid learning many adult issues from it. Matt and Cassi get into the different characters that created such a dynamic ensemble which lead to the popular spin off show, “Fraiser”. Cassi learns that Frasier was originally written for one of her favorite actors of all time, John Lithgow, but Lithgow turned it down giving Kelsey Grammer the most prominent role of his acting career. (Honorable mention to Sideshow Bob). Cassi reflects upon John Lithgow’s career and her love for him a bit too long and Matt has to reel her back in.

“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” Today on Dumb Nerds we have on the super hilarious and talented Dhruv Singh (I'm Too Effin’ High, UCB) to talk about one of his heroes, Muhammad Ali. Dhruv talks about why Muhammad was so great and admirable in and out of the boxing ring, how Muhammad stood up for black rights and as a proud Muslim in the 1950s and 1960s when hardly, if any celebrity would. Muhammad Ali wasn't afraid to be himself and be unpopular in a predominant white American society. Today he is popularly looked up to as a hero. Dhurv and Cassi talk about the switch from hated man to a cherished and beloved American icon.

Today’s Dumb Nerds’ guest is Mark David Christenson (“I Will Watch Anything Once” Podcast) and he comes on to talk about his love for the comic book series, “Saga”. “Saga” was created and written by Brian K Vaughan and the awesome artwork is done by Fiona Staples. Instead of going into spoilers and the full story of “Saga”, Dave encourages listeners to go out there and pick up a copy at their local comic book store! Cassi and Dave talk about the beginning of the series, some of the characters, some controversy in the artwork like in Issue #12 and the cover of the very first “Saga”issue. They also talk about the distribution company Image and how it split from Marvel in 1992. Dave goes into a rant on why he doesn’t buy DC and Marvel comics because of their ad placement. For example, you’re getting into your comic about Superman or Robin and then Nick Lachey from 98 Degrees appears to sell you a Twix bar! Not cool. They talk the comic book series “Preacher” and compare the great use of narration in “Saga” to the not so great use of narration in the movie “Road to Perdition”. Dave and Cassi also get into writing, acting and how to give it your all by using advice from such mentors as Stephen King and Bob Odenkirk. They also talk about establishing great partnerships for collaboration and when to do a project solo. Give it a listen and you may find yourself going to your nearest comic book store to pick up “Saga”, and then sitting in front of your computer to begin a writing project of your own.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Today’s guest Clark Canez (LA Improviser- Power Lunch, Chaz Dean, Gosh Guys, Hemp-ire Strikes Back) and Cassi get deep into Greek Mythology! Clark proves his Dumb Nerd worthiness by knowing so much about Greek Mythology. Seriously. He schools Cassi with stories of: Chaos; the first leaders of the Universe The Titans; the castrating, baby eating King Cronus; the Cronus killing and wife cheating Zeus; Zeus’ wife and sister Hera; Hercules, the son Zeus had out of wedlock but made up his infidelity by naming Hercules after his wife, Hera; Zeus and Hera’s one eyed son Cyclops; God of Sea Poseidon; Leader of the Underworld Hades; the unwilling Queen of the Underworld Persephone and her mother, Goddess of Agriculture and winter inducing, Demeter; Rockstar Orpheus and the tragic fate of his wife Eurydice; Apollo and the cursed false prophet Cassandra; Flying-too-close-to-the-sun Icarus; Rolling-a-boulder-uphill Sisyphus; and Prometheus, the god who gave fire back to mortals and was punished by being chained to a mountain and eaten by birds for eternity. It’s fun, dark stuff! Clark and Cassi also get into the history of Greek storytelling with Homer, “The Odyssey”, the origin and function of myth and the importance of the Olympics and competition between city-states. (Why can’t sports in America be like that today?) They also get into the movie and graphic novel “300”, the differences and similarities of religions especially between Christianity and Greek Mythology, the Golden Rule, the TV shows “The Crown” and “The Tudors”, Christopher Reeves, Christopher Robin and historian, Allan Lichtman, who predicted that Donald Trump would win the presidency using his system the “13 Keys”. They also find out they both lived in Anaheim for a bit. Shout out to the Anaheim Angels and the Linbrook Bowling Alley! They also reveal Clark’s biggest secret of all: his name is not really Clark.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This is the first episode of Dumb Nerds! Host, Cassi Jerkins, invites a comedian onto the show to talk about a smart topic they wish they knew more about! Today, her guest is Gerald Grissette (Arcady Currency, CBS Diversity Showcase) and they talk about how to buy a house. Both Gerald and Cassi are too poor to buy a house and wouldn’t know what to do if they had the money to buy a house. They go through each step one would have to take in order to purchase a home. Appraisals, Open Houses, Escrow- the whole shebang! They also talk about their dream homes and more importantly, their dream of just marrying someone who has already inherited a house so they can avoid the headache of buying a house.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
