Nerd Poker with Brian Posehn and Friends (Earwolf)

## Episode List

**Earwolf Episode List**

*Brian's intro from the first Earwolf episode- I'm Brian Posehn! Basically what this show is, is every week me and my friends are going to play Dungeons and Dragons for about an hour. We'll mess around during the game and make fun of each other, all in all, it will be fun. Eventually, one of us is going to win and be crowned King Nerd. That's not how D&D works. Basically, if you've never played before, what were you doing? Throwing footballs? Banging girls or boys? What have you done with your lives if you've never played D&D? It's a role-playing game, it's my favorite role-playing game. Each player creates a character and you go through an adventure that the Dungeon Master, who you'll meet soon, creates. Sometimes he will play out of a book, or our guy, who you will meet shortly, he pulls everything out of his brain or his bottom's brain. And we'll be battling monsters and magical creatures, it's very hard to say that kind of stuff without feeling like a total nerd. There's really no ending or goal, I mean, every adventure will have a goal that Sark our DM will create and we'll never know until we get there or all of our characters die. It's basically like World of Warcraft but with a book, and also dice, and it's more fun and social you're not alone in a room, instead there are 6 people in a room. I basically, my history with D&D is I've played very young, I played in junior high and didn't play for a long time. Then in my 20s played again with a guy I worked with at a record store and that was very fun, we would get super high and listen to Slayer. D&D had a bad reputation in the early days for being Satanic and it's not, but my friend made it Satanic so that was fun. About 10 years ago I started to play with a group of friends you are about to meet and we played for about 7 years. Then me and another couple of guys got our wives pregnant, separately, by fucking. At least, that's what I did, I don't know Gerry and Patton's story. So then that derailed our game and I came up with the idea because I was talking with the people of Earwolf like "Hey let's do a podcast!". And I was like "I don't know what to do for a podcast" and then I went "Oh, I'll play D&D with my friends" Which I had been wanting to do anyways.*.. *I like to play dumb guys. I like to play characters where I don't have to do a ton of thinking. I like to be the guy who is first through the door. I played small characters, one of the first characters I played was Jackie he was sort of a monk character. But since him, I've played mostly guys who are my stature or bigger, guys who like thumping things and killing."*
