Internet darling Nelson Lugo has A LOT of opinions about the Omega DLC. Does he have criticisms? Yes. Is he going to play it again? Also yes because he loves Mass Effect and no one can stop him. Join us as we break down Aria’s quest for revenge.

The Snarksters return - two months after its last "remote" episode and an astonishing seven months since its last "in-studio" episode. After both testing negative for Covid-19, hosts Nelson Lugo and Schaffer the Darklord reunite in the beautiful and spacious studio #6C to survey the damage done to our political discourse.Is Schaffer clinging to problematic language? Is Lugo harboring a secret addiction? Is anybody going to see the year 2021? These questions will be sent to the lab as we await results in this month's episode. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

After an astonishing five month absence, the EPIC PIEcast returns in the midst of a global pandemic as hosts Nelson Lugo and Schaffer the Darklord link up remotely from their respective quarantine bunkers.Is Lugo tempting death with a newly adopted murder beast? Is Schaffer's loneliness a textbook example of "be careful what you wish for?" Are both of the show's listeners still alive? These questions will be asked, though this modern era's charming technological jankiness may make the answers unintelligible! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Nelson Lugo returns to Reignite, with plenty of f-bombs to share. We discuss Krogan culture, puberty, and knowing when to headbutt instead of argue. Fandom Corner features sculptures of our favorite lizard son made by SofikoSculpts on Etsy. Special thanks to David Boyle for our amazing logo and to Dan Bull for the song MASS EFFECT RAP, which we use as our theme.

Our cranky co-hosts finally return to explain the technical difficulties behind their two-month absence before sharing updates on Nelson Lugo's upcoming wedding and Schaffer the Darklord's recent unemployment. Will Lugo adopt a lethal creature? Will Schaffer escape a nest of vampires? Are those aforementioned technical difficulties really resolved? In hindsight, we deem these questions far more hyperbolic than they should have been in this month's episode. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

After taking a mental health month in July, the hosts catch us up on their respective goings-on. Nelson Lugo sings the praises of an anime hero with severely suppressed emotions, and Schaffer the Darklord details the 30+ hours he's spent hunting down Montana-based religious zealots "for work." Then, Schaffer challenges Lugo to a bad idea: a trivia contest about one another conducted by the boys' partners! Indeed, Bunny Buxom and Lisa arrive in Studio #6C to quiz our hosts in the "Ultimate Best Friend Test," a game in which incorrect answers are punished with electric shocks!Will Schaffer's 0/3 losing streak finally end? Will Lugo pull off the most humiliating defeat yet? Will Lisa and Bunny be properly rewarded for the nonsense they have endured for years?

A three-time Crash Chords Podcast podcast veteran, Lugo stops in to Autographs to chat with Matt about his continued work, and some updates to his latest one-man show, ‘Cheating Death: Magic, Memoirs & Mortality’. They talk about his relatively recent dive into DJing, how he got started, his partnership with Schaffer the Darklord, and what it’s like to be a performance DJ in a live show environment.

And so from Lugo’s monthly open mic & variety show to his love of 90s hip-hop, here’s presenting Matt Storm and Nelson Lugo. Continue reading

This month, EPIC PIECAST stages a comeback - though we ask that you please not describe it as such. Tower of power NELSON LUGO details his progress as a padawan DJ before maniac psycho SCHAFFER THE DARKLORD reports on his 9th trip to SXSW and the future of nerdcore hip-hop. Will Lugo cancel a guest if they are outed as a garbage person? Will Schaffer gamble the reveal of his most embarrassing work on Wrestlemania predictions? Will the jammy go "blaw?" We knock out answers to these questions and take this itty-bitty world by storm in this month's episode. Learn more about your ad choices.

What did we do on our January vacation? Well! Nelson Lugo spent January expanding his horizons and exploring Denmark, while Schaffer the Darklord attended a WWE show and thought about death. Fun! But now that we're back to the same ol' nerd podcast game, the boys leap claws-first into Wakanda and share their thoughts just minutes following a screening of Black Panther.How did Lugo find utopia in a convenience store chain? How did Schaffer get tricked into playing an RPG? How long do we have to wait for a Nakia spin-off film? Shout these questions into the abyss and brace thyself for the cold silence that responds in this month's episode.For links and more info, head to the main episode page:https://nerdyshow.com/2018/02/epic-piecast-episode-58-wakanda-forverLearn more about your ad choices.

This month, the boys struggle with talking. SCHAFFER THE DARKLORD doesn't want to talk because he's hoarse from screaming into the abyss for weeks. NELSON LUGO can't talk because [REDACTED]. As a solution for their compromised voices, the former airs a prerecorded segment in which he sits down with chiptune/indie rock troubadours Shael Riley and Ty Guenley to discuss and dissect their new collaborative album: Schaffer, Riley, and the Double Ice Backfire - Hold Person. Did Schaffer know what these songs were about when he was writing lyrics? Did Lugo really [REDACTED]? Is...that...the...Apple of Livid Silence?! These questions and more will be [REDACTED] in this month's episode.

Newly-minted wrestling superfan Schaffer the Darklord continues his campaign to pull co-host Nelson Lugo down into Suplex City! Thrill as Schaffer challenges the modern era WWE noob to make SummerSlam predictions based on superstars' ring entrances alone. Later, Schaffer's confidence in the entertainment value of this program plummets to new depths, inspiring the boys to conduct "market research" via on-air telephone calls to listeners (and non-listeners) for feedback. Is our baby ugly? Does this show need more murder? Hello? Is this thing on? These questions will all be interrupted by Self-Doubt's entrance music.

Absinthe aficionado and aspiring DJ, Nelson Lugo, reunites with Schaffer the Darklord to rant about recent controversies and speculate on a grim hypothetical scenario. Later, these angry a-holes are joined by comedy music duo Sam & Bill who perform live in Studio #6C and discuss their evolving methods for antagonizing audiences. What are Lugo's feelings on the rubber chicken? Under what circumstances would Schaffer abandon his co-host? What bit made Sam & Bill's performance at a NYC comedy club their last?

In this episode, Jordon welcomes back to the podcast, Magician, Clown and all around Showman Nelson Lugo!

Now he's back after having put together a new one person show that ultimately ended u being more about his mother, much to his own surprise. We also talk about the loss of the Big Apple Circus and Barnum And Bailey, and what will replace it as The Greatest Show On Earh. (could it be this show?!)

It’s EPIC PIEcast! Party with Nelson Lugo and Schaffer the Darklord as they dust off every corner of pop culture for discussion, debate, and deconstruction with all the snark and witty banter that they can muster. This month, Lugo and Schaffer look back on the 21st century's worst year yet and revisit its darkest sulfur-scented lows: from celebrity deaths, to the presidential election, to everything DC Comics splattered on the big screen. But things aren't entirely gloom & meh in studio 6C as the boys also unpack their highlights of 2016, including a giddy dissection of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Will Schaffer's sad devotion to his ancient robot buddy help him conjure up his lost data tapes? Will Lugo's allegiance to some damn fool idealistic crusade turn him into an underworld extremist? Will 2017 suck as much as it's prequel did? Well, that's the thing about the future: nobody knows. Auld lang syne, loyal listener. Auld lang syne.

It’s EPIC PIEcast! Party with Nelson Lugo and Schaffer the Darklord as they dust off every corner of pop culture for discussion, debate, and deconstruction with all the snark and witty banter that they can muster. This month on the EPIC PIEcast, Lugo and Schaffer celebrate the end of the 2016 presidential election by gazing slack-jawed in horrified disbelief at the results. Later, the boys look for hope in the future when Dr. David Putrino, Ph.D. drops by to discuss his lab's use of cutting edge technology like mobile apps, virtual reality and robots to treat various physical and mental health conditions. What's got Lugo frightened? What's got Schaffer angry? OH MY GOD, IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING?! Two of these questions will be answered as we face both terrifying and inspiring new realities in this month's episode.

It’s EPIC PIEcast!

This month Schaffer geeks out over Marvel's Luke Cage and Alex Trebek's insult to nerdcore hip-hop while Lugo suffers an unfamiliar artistic crisis. Later, actor Leslie Hendrix (Gotham, Law & Order) drops by to dish on her role as a Batman villain and her 19-year "part-time job" as a television medical examiner. Does Schaffer sleep on all of his collaborations? Is Lugo a music video producer now? Did fate land Hendrix her gig as the face of a shadowy cabal? We could answer these questions, but instead we suggest you just listen to this month's episode.

This month, a looming deadline, a canceled guest, and a tardy co-host leave Schaffer no choice but to go it alone as he attempts to fill half the show with every bad idea he can muster. When Lugo finally arrives, the boys take note of how accurately two new Netflix series represent their respective childhood environments. What's got Schaffer angry? Where the fuck [has Lugo] been? Is anyone there? These questions will literally be asked out loud in this month's episode.

Party with Nelson Lugo and Schaffer the Darklord as they dust off every corner of pop culture for discussion, debate, and deconstruction with all the snark and witty banter that they can muster. As lifelong Bat-fans, Nelson Lugo and Schaffer the Darklord have been salivating for the seemingly endless smorgasbord of Dark Knight goodies that DC Comics and Warner Bros have been cooking up all year. However, after greedily gobbling up Suicide Squad, Killing Joke and Rebirth for this month's episode of EPIC PIEcast, our co-hosts find themselves with stomachaches. Later, LA-based rapper Coolzey makes a tour pit stop at Studio #6C for a one-on-one chit-chat with Schaffer about life on the road and the thrill of challenging audience expectations. How many LL Cool J lyrics can Lugo recite? Where did Schaffer bomb the hardest? Did Coolzey know about the gun in the van? These questions will appear in the show notes of this month's episode.

Ghostbusters. Does that word evoke strong feelings in you? Does it fill you with warm memories of a youth spent enjoying a beloved comedy classic, or does it enrage you with feelings of a childhood ruined by a politically-motivated remake? Have you been giggling in anticipation since learning a new film was in production, or have you been furiously condemning every detail that's been made public since the casting announcement? This month, EPIC PIEcast looks directly into the trap on opening day of Paul Feig's Ghostbusters reboot. Along for the ride is Keymaster MC Frontalot who joins Schaffer and Lugo for an unedited booze-soaked examination of the picture and its polarizing pre-release buzz. Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night? Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic? Have you or your family ever actually read any of these episode descriptions? Then don't wait another minute; pick up your phone and listen to the professionals: EPIC PIEcast.

Summer's here, and you know what that means: more audible sirens in the background of the EPIC PIEcast! In this month's episode, Schaffer adopts a hairless cat/demon, Lugo lands a gig as a (legitimate) clown and both hosts bat their eyelashes at Nathan Drake's latest adventure. Then the boys are visited by Brooklyn-based hip hop trio Hand Job Academy for a chaotic convo about YouTube views, bad bookings, and peeing on the road. Is Schaffer in the grips of a pink nightmare? Does Lugo wield the healing power of laughter? Will Ash, Meg, and Clara reveal the truth behind Hand Job Academy's origin story? The answers to these questions will be drowned out by air horns in this month's episode.

Spring is in the air this month as the EPIC PICcast celebrates Memorial Day, May Basket Day and Lugo's birthday with a very special "golden episode". When a number of personal and professional setbacks gives Lugo the blues, Schaffer makes his 800th attempt to convince his co-host to join him in indulging in his favorite medicine - despite the fact that Lugo has never tried an illegal substance in his life. This time, however, Schaffer frames his peer pressure as an opportunity to conduct a scientific experiment, complete with recorded results. Will Schaffer persuade him? Will Lugo give in? Is Pink Floyd lost on the drug-free? These questions will be asked, though nobody here remembers the answers, man.

Yes, it's time for another monthly update on the lives of two middle-aged, childless divorcees who live in apartments filled with toys and spend their days scrambling around on crappy stages for handfuls of dollars! Schaffer feigns unbridled enthusiasm as Lugo talks about his new party bus gig before our dynamic duo tear into Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Then author Heidi Heilig drops by to discuss her critically-acclaimed debut fantasy novel The Girl from Everywhere and the time-traveling pirates found therein. How does one dress appropriately for a trip to Victorian-era Hawaii? Is there treasure to be found in the act of procrastination? What's with the fanfare?

It’s EPIC PIEcast! Party with Nelson Lugo and Schaffer the Darklord as they dust off every corner of pop culture for discussion, debate, and deconstruction with all the snark and witty banter that they can muster. Last year, we produced an episode in which Lugo encouraged Schaffer to watch a full episode of Doctor Who for the first time in his life. This month, the tables are turned when David Lynch superfan Schaffer holds Lynchian noob Lugo's clammy hand as the latter watches the pilot episode of Twin Peaks for the first time in HIS life. You're invited to attend this special screening as well. Cue up your Netflix, turn down your television, crank up your computer and join in Schaffer's giddiness (or Lugo's bewilderment) as the boys travel back to 1990's Pacific Northwest. Is Schaffer holding a small box of chocolate bunnies? Will that gum that Lugo likes come back in style? We promise that these questions will not be answered. You know why? Because David Lynch, THAT'S why. For links and more info, head to the main epiosde page: http://nerdyshow.com/2016/03/epic-piecast-episode-41-lugo-watches-twin-peaksLearn more about your ad choices.

Then they welcome their boss, Nerdy Show Network's executive producer and co-founder Cap Blackard, to the program for an interview and employee evaluation. Can Schaffer keep smiling?

In this episode, Jordon sits down with magician and showman Nelson Lugo! Nelson's father died only about a month before this frank discussion about his life and career. We talk about how different losses bring about different types of grief, and about how important gallows humor is to those in the eye of the storm. Even though it's a very recent loss, I was really amazed at just how much insight and levelheadedness that Nelson has exhibited so early on in his journey, and how much humor and wit he brings to everything that he does, be it life, death, or magic.   Find out more about Nelson at http://nelsonlugo.com/ Follow him on Twitter @NelsonLugo

Nelson Lugo (Gathering the Magic) is in the guest star chair this time, and he wants you to know he's a magician that hates card tricks.  He and Sharon discuss the phenomenon of diminishing house returns, which makes it hard for him to call himself an artist (he prefers craftsman).  The two then discuss Nelson's time as a substitute ringmaster for the Big Apple Circus and his time working in "Document-ment".  But, you know, happiness is moving forward...
