As a D&D player, I was very disappointed by how wrong their portrayal of actual D&D dynamics was in this episode. Very funny episode, but please, ahem, get your facts straight, gentlemen. Might I recommend perusing the 3rd edition Player's Handbook? *pushes up glasses*
DORK!

The way I've always seen it, a nerd is super-knowledgeable about some niche topic (comics, music, history, etc) while a dork is someone acting awkwardly in a way you don't like.
So Thomas correcting "kobold" was kinda nerdy,but if he had interrupted some strangers at a bar to correct them, it'd be dorky.
Also I found the introduction and immediate retraction of the pig very funny.
So I drew a little picture of it.
Quickly pan back.

I don't think they're unfunny at all, by the way. They play funny party games.
I think that's exactly it. They're playing games in a more literal sense than the way games are used in long-form. I think that's where the "Stumped Ya!" mentality comes into play:
The Who's Line audience isn't likely to suggest "School Picture Day" because they can already imagine that scenario being funny. In their mind, a challenge for the players, say, "German U-Boat" would require more skill and thus be more rewarding.
Meanwhile, in I4H format, "School Picture Day" is a great suggestion because it's loaded with personal connotations and anecdotes to draw from. Whereas if someone sent in "German U-Boat" I can already hear Besser in my head: "Jesus... Anyone have any good German-U Boat stories?"

Not bad, but I wish there were more sub-podcasts.
Don't worry, they've gotta come back to open up This Is How I Talk When I Talk About Cuisine.

I get a kick out of Scott's unrelenting "It's been..." and "It's been a while..." riffing, followed very little interest in Jon's "WHAT would you say...?"

Question for Werner Herzog: Who's got two thumbs and wears a costume?

What if your favorite part of their career is the Scritti Politti part?Great idea. I think that shirt would probably look like this:

Hey Scott and Scott, I know you guys are still waiting for your free U2 shirts, but when are fans of this show gonna get some fuckin' t-shirts?? You may not own a t-shirt factory, like Bono, but the Earwolf store must have some connections? Just get a picture of U2 and put a big U2 under it. I dunno, something like this:
Just pick a photo of U2 from your favorite point in their career:

Alright, only one album left to discuss. If the new U2 album doesn't come out for a while, we may finally have time for Staind Glass!

was really delighted to get this reference lol.
Ditto. Definitely confirms Scott is an Orange County native.

Wasn't sure whether "All About Money" was a new podcast, or they just forgot the title of "Talkin' 'Bout Money". Either way, here's a new poster. Keep reachin' for that Bitcoin, Scotts.
