EPIC PIEcast

This month, your favorite snarkcasters are exhausted. Nelson relives the agony and the ecstasy of producing and performing his solo show off-off Broadway. Schaffer climbs a mountain of new merch to not only talk about his upcoming tour, but also announce a new album with a new music collective: The Department of Darkness. Does Nelson really like magic tricks? Is Schaffer abandoning his black and purple color scheme? How Batman is Spider-Man? None or all of these questions will be answered in this 64th episode of the EPIC PIEcast.

Join us for the fun and flagellation.

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? Don't answer these questions incorrectly or it's *ZZZT!* for you in this month's episode.

This month, Schaffer takes a break from producing burlesque wrestling promo videos to catch up with Nelson who reminds him why they started this podcast years ago. (That reason is Batman.) Later, former Fleshbot editor LUX ALPTRAUM drops by to discuss her upcoming book Faking It: The Lies Women Tell About Sex--And the Truths They Reveal.

Why are women held to impossible expectations of honesty by men who will not accept their truths? Which trick has Lugo given a fresh spin? Has Schaffer died and gone to MTA heaven? Though these questions will be posed, your ability to handle the truth remains to be seen in this month's episode.

This month your rapidly aging co-grumps celebrate the kickoff of summer movie season with a painstakingly thorough analysis of May's biggest releases, before they jump ship to get to the good stuff. The "good stuff" in question is an interview with Oakland-based rapper Lex the Lexicon Artist who drops by Studio #6C to dish on her new full-length album Raging Ego and walk us through the impressive musical history that led her to becoming 2018's hottest new nerdcore act.

Is Schaffer's favorite summer "movie" really 5 hours long? Is Lugo really the bigger fan of fantasy space opera? Is there anything Lex CAN'T do?! Nobody asks these questions in this month's episode.

In this rousing round of Piecasting, Nelson books a burlesque gig where people don't hate him, and Schaffer follows up on his Wrestlemania predictions (see Episode 59) before both boys dig into their long-neglected mail bag. Does Lugo really want to launch a second podcast? Will Schaffer have to make good on last month's embarrassing wager? Do our fans just want to listen to us watch television? The answers to these questions are found within.

So just listen; it's only 83 minutes. You've got plenty of time in this month's episode.

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.

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.For links and more info, head to the main episode page:https://nerdyshow.com/2017/08/epic-piecast-episode-54-summerflimflam
