A nerd poker. Where the not ding-dong danglers have gone into the basement of City Hall. And Shalab smashed open a bothersome rock wall that was keeping everyone from following the trail of footsteps and hopefully. they were about to find the relic that is keeping Kuatua from City Hall we're now taking you to the detect magic

already in progress all right so you get a whole shitload of necromancy Blaine Ziam Spade casts a necromancy I say I'm of course referring to your Tabaxi as your cat shoves its butthole in your face while we're on Zoom

it's pepper and her freshly spayed made tail. Aw. Yeah, they both got fixed this weekend. Pepper and what's your other cast name? Sesame. We call him Sammy.

Aw. And then, yeah, cats everywhere. Cats, cats, cats. A little monsters. Oh, whoop it. Oh, it's the door up there. Okay, he's right there. I like how it looks like it's like darting its tail back and forth

across your nostrils in the hopes of filling your nose with dander. Pretend it's. It's my tentacle, my furry tentacle. Hello, Mr. Bond. I thought it was just your ever-changing facial hair. Yeah, it's my crazy penis. It's one of those monkeys' penises. It was a transplant.

I got my furniture at crazy penis. Our prices are insane. Oh, Blaine, if you could just when you're bored, start writing the crazy penis furniture warehouse commercial to do later in this episode. I'd really appreciate it. Our prices are hard to be. Sex, sex, sex, sex, shactuals.

We'll never shaft you, non-consensually. Couchy, couchy, couchy. Come in for the reach-around. A chair made for sitting on your balls. All right, so. We have fun guys, really. Siam, you can see there's like,

there's bolts and, and, these bolts of necromancy are coming from sources, multiple sources. You're approaching the wall on the south end of this room, this office, and it's really only picking

up some of what's going on, but you see there are at least four streams of necromancy energy pointed on a central point. Can I get an insight check from you, Siam Spade, the person who is detecting meuras. Okay, cool.

Sorry, my cat's attacking my headphone wires. It always great when they're playing with something that humans need, but looks like a toy. What was that? An investigation? Yeah. I always love when my cat pancake picked up one of my expensive AirPods and dropped it in the toilet. That was really one of my favorite. 13 plus 11, 24.

My favorite part of that story is you got a cat named pancake. Ken's my pancake I have pancake is lovely I eat pancakes Very filling filling cat She splutes very flat

And that is why her name is pancake New boot splutin Flat spute That's a pretty high role there Siam Spade It seems as though There might be a fifth point And you're getting pentagram vibes

From the streams of necromancy Okay All right Uh should we need to go through the sconce, right? Should we call my friend?

Should we get my friend John Johnson? He comes from Wisconsin and he works in a sconce mill there. That's crazy. Okay, I'm going to Coins to Scunts.

I'm going to go over and start checking out the wall and sconce and see if what I can, if there's any sort of like code or well great news

for people who hate complicated puzzles it looks like the scons needs to be rotated to the side about

maybe 90 to 180 degrees and the wall will part you do feel like there is something waiting on the other side that is unpleasant

okay should we should we get our shit together and fuck it up yeah okay I'm going to

before we do anything I'm going to cast gift of alacrity which allows a touch a willing creature for the next eight hours it can add a D8 to its initiative I'm going to give that to

I'm actually going to touch Spicoli I'm going to cast that on him Whoa, hey, I know that dude touching me. When we're dancing? It's not my birthday. Also, not today. So if you could, that was a TMBG reference that you caught everybody.

If you could, I'll move your tokens where you want it for this reveal. Again, you know something's on the other side. So you want to be kind of mindful of where you dump your token. Okay, I'm going to cast protection from evil on myself. Sick. I'm also going to cast sick on myself. Nice. Evil.

Dead air. This break brought to you by room tone. phone in five seconds and 12 seconds. I was trying to Pallelago gauge if you guys are ready, but are you turning the sconce playing? Are we ready?

Let's do it. I'm sconson. All right. You pivot the scones. Water scons. I really prefer a blueberry, but I understand that you have your own tastes. You turn it to the side and reveal room that has a large pentagram carved into the floor and in the center of the room there is a demon

statue with spread wings you see there are four seats and an altar making up the five points of this pentagram and in the middle of the room is the statue the fifth point yeah well no uh let me i'm trying to juggle even just while i describe this and now i have to go back and uh maybe reword this a little bit better. All right. In the center of the room, there is a pentagram. It's carved into the floor. In the middle of this pentagram is a statue.

In the middle of this pentagram is the statue. The five points of the pentagram, four of them have plush chairs. These chairs are pointed towards the center and the statue. The fifth point has an altar. That is the far end of the room. There are four candles lighting up the room. In each of the seats, and I'm going to reveal us on the map first, but it's a lot more fun if I say it, so you hear what the listeners are hearing at the same time. You see there are what appear to be the warped visages of former humans.

Three of them look like they are insane, cackling, staring at you with wide, empty white eyes. And the fourth one appears to be a humanoid whose skin has sloft away and revealed worm-like tendrils that fan out. from its body. The four beings who sit in these chairs are all concentrating some sort of necromantic pulse on the statue

in the center of the room. It seems to be receiving this necromanic energy. And in the center of the room, there appears to be, in an altar at the far end of the room, excuse me,

there appears to be a corpse. Should we, Brian, can you hit that statue with a fireball? yeah I'd love to fire bolt that's what he can do right oh okay okay I thought you sorry sorry I'm misremembered what are you hitting with the fireball now fire bolt maybe not if it's just a fireball it is it is just a bolt so it would be much less magic

damage if that's what you're going for I am however going to say let's roll for initiative so you have plenty of time to rethink that choice oh then rethink that choice 15 plus 419 nice and Brian you get to add a D8 because a bad gift of alacrity oh yeah 17 I need it nice cool same yeah sorry i'm juggling on here and as always i i keep defaulting to this dream that we've got beyond 20 running and these are automatically going into the turn order i keep forgetting that i have to manually enter these but thank you chris for having beyond 20 so let me see get ken in there what was yours again ken 17 sorry this is like why

role 20 is both beautiful and my arch nemesis Blaine, what did you get? 19. Brian, what you get? Same as Ken. 17. What's your Dex, Brian?

I do need to know to figure out who's 19. What's yours, Ken? 14. Okay. So we're going to give the lead there to Brian. Okay. A little peeper's gonna make his peeper roll.

He is a 25. And we're gonna give the weirdos that have the wall eyes that are laughing at you. They two, they suck. And we're going to give the being with a little worms sort of falling out of its skin a 14 so at first be little Peepers will Peepers has significantly hampered running distance he did try to back it up but he is gonna have a pretty good eye line on this dick

head over here. So he is going to pull up his short bow and let some bolts fly. Arrow fly. So he shoots. Oh, no, that's the shorts or not shirt boat. Excuse me. Still plus 10 to hit.

Yeah, 28 to hit. It's going to hit this thing. And arrow is going to go stunk right into its chest. And do 12 points of piercing damage. That's good. Yeah. Chris, you're up.

Um, I'm going to strum on my, uh, loot and cast, uh, ray of frost against the one guy, I guess the guy in the northwest corner in the northwest chair, that guy down there. That's the guy of a good line of sight on.

All right, so I'm going to launch a ray of frost at him. Let's try it. 15 to hit. That is a hit. All your damage. Six points of cold damage to that guy.

All right. So dang, it's smashing. It's into him with a loud, sharp sound. It doesn't kill him. Both these things seem to be completely insane. It doesn't break any concentration or anything like that, if they're concentrating on anything? That's a great question.

I'm going to have them roll in a second. And I should be doing this. I'm a silly goose. Doing too much at once. So much easier with paper. My brain hurts. All right. So we're going to do some Constitution saving throws to try to keep the dumb shit they're doing going.

It's going to be a success for the one little people's hit. a fail for the one you hit. So you do see the green arc of necromantic energy disappear from the hand of this creature in the far corner. The one that I shot. Yes.

His neck. Okay, cool. Great. Awesome. And then I think maybe just, let's see, move wise. I want to get out of lines. Looks like you can kind of see me wherever. I will move by I'll just say where I am.

Never mind. There's no good place to hide. Okay. Sounds good. Waying you're out. I am going to I'm going to fire bolt. I guess, has anybody attacked this guy?

No. I'm not. Okay, I'm going to zap this guy with a couple of firebolts. Go for it. Roll two attack, the spell attack. Spell tag, spell a tech, excuse me, spell tech is what you use to fix your magic. 15 plus 6, 21, and a 14 plus 6 is 20. Jeez.

So those are two hits. Roll your two dams. Oh, 18 on one and 17 on another. How would you like to see this being die? I'd love to. Okay. No, why would you like to see him? I'd like to see him jump up and down and do the thing where you see the

the skeleton in black as his body glows a little bit. And then he's going to do a shuffle off to Buffalo and then fall in dust. Nice. It's got a very old-fashioned cartoon vibe to it. And you know what? Splat. The green arc of necromanic energy ends as they. the dance montage does as well.

Anything else for your turn, Blaine? You know what? I'm going to step back a little bit out of range of this guy. Okay. And that's about it. Brian, you're up. I'll take a firebolted the other dude,

whoever's closest to me. Okay, that'll be the guy in sort of the last column. So, fireball, please. yep wow sorry Sam keep all that in wow I'll 19 it's a hit roll your fire damn please 10 how would you like to see that guy die

um on fire and he yells oh my god I'm on fire. He looks down on himself and has a profound moment of self-reflection, and you see him think about what it would be like to go to therapy and talk to his therapist about this, but instead he looks up at you and says, I'm on fire, question mark, and he dies. Very impressive.

Is that a demon? Anything else for your turn, Brian? Are anybody else standing? Yep. Three left, yeah? Yep. Fire bolt. Them.

Whoever's next. there's another guy in the far end of the room Firebolt 25 It's a hit, roll your damage Sorry, I thought I did here we go

13 all right how would you like to see that one die Brian he goes me too all right well he joins his friend in the abyss and it explodes

in fire while saying me too hashtag me too anything else for your turn Brian all right I'm good excellent Ken you're up I also will fire bolt too as well okay and there's the one person left

they have a staffs there's worms spilling out of them yeah that guy whole staff quick run out and get some Mendo Farms that's a 20 to hit that's a hit 11

all right the fire smashes into him and he sort of turns to you, a physical look. Does not seem too perturbed by it. This is the bad one, everybody. Keep going.

Anything else for your turn? I'll duck back behind the wolf. All right. Did you move your token to actually do that? Yeah, I'm back here. Please do. Cool. I see what you're doing.

All right, well, it is time for the turn of being. I do so need to roll their concentration save. It's the time of the turn of the being. Concentration save. He drops the spell, moves a little bit closer, and starts a step. Don't be shot. Sam Spade. No.

All right. He points his staff and you see a pink ball of energy rocket towards you, Blaine. Okay. I have a protection from evil if that counts from it. Out of way. Nope, not this time. Put away, Blaine. There's a spell to hit, so that's a...

Bat it away. It's 25 to hit. That's a mess. It smashes into you. You feel your vision go white for a second and take 31 points of psychic damage. Yikes. Dan, I would like to use my reaction. I bet you would.

And cast silvery barbs. Okay. As a reaction, I can magically distract the attacking creature and turn its momentary uncertainty into encouragement for another creature. The triggering creature must re-roll the deal. 20 and use the lower role. So you basically have this advantage. Got it.

Now, do you have to see the creature in question? Because you just saw a pink ball fly through the doorway from an unseen source. When a creature, you can see. Yes, I can't see. So I can't see the guy. Unfortunately, no. Like, I'll draw the, I'll draw the. Then I can do that.

You can kind of see, but I'll draw the edges of the doorway and you can sort of see why. I don't think I can do that. Let me see. He's like at a nice. degree angle from you, the doorway is in the way, the wall is in the way. And then shield. I don't think I can shield you either. Nope.

Sorry. All right. So that's okay. I have a, I have uncanny dodge. Great. When an attacker, I can see hits me with an attack, I can take a reaction to have the damage. Nice. All right.

Go ahead and have that down to 15 points of psychic damage. He is a cat after all. Yeah. Cats do the craziest shit you've ever seen. Have you ever seen a fucking cat? Tell me about it. Good Lord. They're fucking nuts.

Go off, Brian. Go off. That's it. That's all I got. I'm just saying never underestimate a cat, motherfucker. Yeah. Blaine, the being lowers his staff and fires another ball of pink energy at you. Okay.

He can do this twice. He has multi-attack, and he can use psychic orb on his multi-attack. It's a 23 to hit for 35 points of psychic damage. Okay. And can I uncanny dodge that one again? I have to look at your character sheet to know if that's possible. It should say in the rules, when an attacker sees you,

like a reaction. I think you can only do one reaction per round, unfortunately. Okay, that makes sense. Doesn't make sense. to me, I've seen a cat before. Cats, cats just do craziest thing. He can do it again and again and again. This guy is amazed by cats.

I don't know, buddy. If you've ever seen a cat, you'd be amazed, too. Never seen one. So that'll be a total lane of 50 points of cycle damage. Yes. All right. And that will do it for Captain Ding Dong's turn. It is now time for a little.

Peepers. Little Peepers is going to jump up on the desk behind you, Blaine. So much. Little Peepers. See my cat behind me? That's me getting hit with a psychic ball. Aw. Hey, buddy. Uh, 20 to hit for Little Peepers. That's a hit. So you see an arrow fly and hit this being in the shoulder for 12 points of piercing damage.

Chris, you're up. Okay, I'm going to bonus action, give Bartik Inspiration to Blaine is up after me. So I'm going to strum on my loot and give you Bartik Inspiration. So Blaine, that means for the next 10 minutes. You can add a D8, an inspiration die, to one ability check, attack, or saving throw. it can be added after seeing the role, but before knowing the outcome. So that means you can roll to attack, and if you feel like it's not high enough, then you can choose to add the Bartik inspiration.

Oh, great. Awesome. Thank you. So that's him. And then for my attack, I'm going to, let's see, first I'm going to go one, two, I'm going to move 15 feet so that I have, I'm now sort of, I guess, in the doorway of the pentagram room. I can see What's the worm master

Is that what this guy is? Warmaster Worm, he's like a wormy guy He's like a wormy guy He can call him a wormmaster Sure, why not he's a wormy guy He's a wormy guy I'm gonna do

I'll do Ray and the name is Star Sponsier Go ahead I'll do a Ray of Frost also on him 26 to hit Oh that's a hit Any points of cold damage? All right.

You will smash it into his face. It will reel for a moment. Yes. And then I'll use the remaining movement to fall back. So I'm not visible to him in the doorway. Okay. Sounds good. Blaine, you're up.

Sorry, I'm just trying to look for a thing here. Oh. To see if I have. well cleave yeah go ahead um i i've just seen uh trying to look up my stats for this rod of the rod thing i have oh the rod of alertness yeah fuck it no uh uh okay i am going to uh i'm going to hit the worm guy with a chromatic orb okay is that a save for him

or a spell attack for you it's a spell attack for me okay so I hurl a four inch diameter sphere of energy at a creature I can choose acid cold fire lightning poison or thunder I'm going to do

I'm going to do fire damage for this guy okay let's see that roll uh that's 15 plus my spell attack. So that's a 21. That's a hit. Roll your damage. That's a hit

in the 3D8. Nice. 8-8-3-19. Wow. It's a fire damage. And I'm also going to step out of his line of sight. great

that's it Brian it's your turn Guy I hit it with a shovels yeah you're a little dizzy on hit points want to share how many you have left plane a 412 all right I guess not Brian do great I got better actually

uh do I have unlimited fire. How many firebolts do I have? There's a can't trip, yeah. So I can do it again. Yeah, and again and again. That's what I'm going to do. I believe that is a... 22.

Nice. That is a hit. 22. Yes, yes, I heard. Please roll your damage. Six, son. Firebolt's going to smash into them. Anything else for your turn? Do I get another one or no? I have to look at your character sheet to know.

You'll have to give me a second. It does not appear you do, no. Damn, I rolled a 26. Sorry. One attack per action for this rogue. Okay. You can move around if you like. And I am going to say, like, to do that,

you're going to have to move where your token last was. So you're going to duck to the left or right out of his visual range like everybody else has been doing? Yeah, left. Okay. I'll put you kind of by Blaine. Cool. Hey, what's up? Meow.

Hello. Hi, friend. Mow. Ken, you're up. Let's see here. I am going to cast emulation. Go for it. Tell us also what immolation does, because we all know it sounds cooler than Firebolt.

We haven't been hearing about its literalness. Flames Reath, the one creature you can see within range. The target must make a dexterity saving throw. It takes 86 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. You don't hear Reeve as a verb very often. Which saving throw is this? Dex. Great.

That'll be 11. Versus a 17, so no. Whoopsie-doodle. So let's see. At the end of each of its turn, target repeats the saving throw. It takes 46 damage on a failed save, and the spell ends on a successful one.

So here's the damage. He's reaved in flame, too. 29 points of damage. Oh, oh, shit. I saw Volvo yesterday, an older Volvo that was completely engulfed in flames. Oh, wow. Just, like, real super, like, war zone fireball. Not so safe, are they?

No. And, well, hope the next one's a cyber truck. That sounds very traumatic. So, yeah, that is going to mean that he is currently enveloped in flames. And that also meant that it's still there, right? The spell's not ending. It does not end. No, it continues every turn.

Great. Great. Keep that in mind in case we end the episode and he's still alive and we'll want to know that next time. Got it. He is up next. Does he re-roll at the beginning of his turn, the end of his turn? Leave it at the end. Okay.

Yeah, at the end of each of its turn. Well. When does he take the additional damage, Ken? When he fails, got another deck. If he succeeds a spell end. Got it. Yes. Okay.

Boop, boop, boop. So he is going to cast warp distance. Weird. Sear is going to warp space around little peepers. That creature must now make a decent. see Wisdom Savings Row engage. Engage. Why is that not showing up?

One second. Boop, boop, boop. There it is. Six. That is a fail. Sorry, little peepers. this means on a field save the target along with any equipment swearing or carrying is teleported up to 60 feet

to an unoccupied space the seer can see and then each creature within 10 feet of the target's original space will take 6D12 psychic damage jocks what the fuck so he is within 10 feet of Brian and Blaine

Brian and Blaine I think might be at least. Let me double check. Oh, are you like, yeah, you're right. Like, you're five feet short, actually. You're okay. Little Peepers is fucked, but that's not going to kill you. So Will Peepers is going to get blasted through time and space onto the altar.

Ooh. Goodness. All right, and now it is going to use a psychic orb on him. And he's going to hit Little Papers? Yep, little Papers are AC of 17. This is an 18 hit for 31 points of psychic damage. Wow. And that, I believe, is going to do it for his turn.

Chris, it's you. I'm going to invite him to make his saving throw first. Thank you for reminding us. And by us, I mean me. It's a con save? Deck save is a deck save. Right, Ken? I'm asking you.

Yes, decks. Thank you. It's a fake? So give me some more damage there, Ken. All right. What was it, 46? Oops, sorry. Okay.

Another ten points of damage? Fire rips through him, and Chris, it is now your turn with a slightly weaker sear. Sweet. As a bonus action, I'm going to expend one of my bardic inspirations and cast unsettling words. So this is sort of the opposite of what I just gave Blaine. So I'm casting it on the Wormmeister. So he now will, he's going to lose. off of his next saving throw it basically takes away from saving throws so that's that and so then

i'm going to use my movement one two three four five six to get to there and then i'm going to use my action to dash and go one two three four so i'm basically rushing through across the room to get to little Peepers who's on the altar. Hopefully next turn I can yank them off or get them off that altar somehow. Cool. And I'll call that out to everybody like, Peepers is in danger.

And that is my turn. Excellent. That's going to bring us to blame. I am going to uh, uh, uh,

huh. You know what? Hey, can I, hold on, sorry, I just thought of something. I appreciate you apologizing. I'm really upset. I want to see what the range of a misty step is. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's not 30 feet.

It's not that much. I'm going to, I'm going to duck out action movie style around the corner, and I'm going to fire a couple of firebolts at the worm guy and then duck back behind. Great. Let's see those firebolt. rolls please please announce them as well

you're not coming up in the game log for whatever reason a nine plus six is a 15 that doesn't a miss and a 14 plus six is a 20 that is a hit so and that's seven seven points and I'm ducking back out of seven more points

fire smashes into him and Brian you're up cool um nice job like i'm going to do firebolt again great i think that's the most yeah yeah i'm going to do that and then uh we'll see what happens okay how are you shooting two firebolts blaine i have two firebolts at 10th level i didn't know that yeah okay uh no sort of

inspiration. Pretty nuts. 12. Okay. 12 is a miss. That's not it. I believe that is going to be your turn. Are you going to duck back away like Blaine just did?

Yeah. Ken, you're up? Can I cast something else while this is up? It's a concentration spell. So the answer is yes, as long as it's not another concentration spell, in which case you can cast. It will just end the fire wreaths, which I'm immolate, I believe, is what you call it.

All right. Or immolation. I will cast. Agonizer, scorcher. Tell us what that is again, please. I mean, he's done it, but. A line of roaring flame, 30 feet long and five feet wide emanates from you in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must make a dexterity saving throw.

A creature takes 3D8 fire damage on a fail save or half as much on his. successful one. Which saving through again? Decks? Yes. Okay. It's an eight. That's a fail.

Let's see that damn. And are you ducking right back out? What are you doing with your token? Yeah, yeah. I'm going to cast them duck. So that is another 17 points of damage. All right. The fire rips through this asshole.

Oh, I'm sending you up playing. I'm really setting you up with that one. That's set up brought to you by Boston Market. Enjoy these hot Cheetos. I had blah, blah, blah, chepotly. Yeah. It's all good. Sabaro, Cheesecake Factory, Chili's two.

Doritos flamas. Have you ever eaten at the two-story Sparrow in Manhattan? Times Square. No, it sounds like you'd have to run down the extra flayed of steps to get to the ambulance. You get double diarrhea. Oof. Flaming hot tums.

Maybe you're the problem. All right. Anything else for your turn, Ken? No. All right. That's going to take us to the creek. The Sierra is going to cast its gaze

at you twiddin and attempt to teleport you with collapse distance out of the room please roll a DC-19 wisdom saving throw kid it come on 10 which is

almost half you teleport back about where the torture table is and in the process there's an explosion of psychic space much as there was when Little Peepers was brought into the room

and so Little Peepers is going to take 6012 psychic damage. That's not good for him, probably. No, he takes 43 points of psychic damage and it goes unconscious. I know. Oh, no. Who can hear Little Peepers?

He is now going to cast Psychic Orb at Twiddon. Yeah, boy. 27 hit I'm going to use my whatever it is silver and barbs got it

I don't I I love how you set up the whatever it is so that will be a reaction Murray he has to roll a disadvantage correct correct excellent so let's do that again

Oh yeah, it's a wrong spell. Excuse me. That's a 14 this time. 14 misses. All right. So the psychic orb bends at the last moment as fate twists to twiddens will. Sweet.

Because it's silvery barbs, He takes damage too, doesn't he? No, but then I can, because I have twisted whatever reality for a moment, I can now give somebody else advantage. So whoever's next, I guess it's, well, he's unconscious. Yeah, it's not really going to be little peepers, unless you want it to be little peepers. I'll let you choose if it's little peepers or you. It can be anybody.

I guess. I thought I had to be someone next. I think, you know, it just says you then choose a different creature you can see within range. You can choose yourself. And then the chosen creature has advantage on the next attack, reliability check, or saving throw makes within a minute. You know what? I am going to give it to little peepers because he's unconscious and I'm going to give him advantage on a death saving through. That's what I'll do.

Great. And we'll have to see how that goes on our next episode of NERBing Pokes. Okay. All right. Head to Dan Telford. Thank you for you. You're about to set me up there, Brian. And I would love to run a D-N-D game for you.

I had a couple of people that I just want to make sure that I got them on a regular episode that gave me money. Slade the Dragon, S-L-A-Y-D, Slade the Dragon. Thanks, Slade, gave us a hundred bucks towards a nerd poker. And then I had, this is a while ago, a guy gave us a bunch of $2 bills. And I just wanted to make sure that I said him on a regular episode. Here's a 20 with two fingers up its ass, Rich, dead and tattooed. Poor Lincoln.

Thanks, thanks, Rich. And thanks Slade. Brianpastain.com for everything that's going on with me, my tour dates are all flipping around. And because of my, thankfully, I'm actoring again. I'm on a sitcom spin-off for Big Bang Theory. Stewart fails to save the universe. And that's my schedule.

I start working next week. So I know I'm not going to be at Off Cabot and Beverly Mass. I believe that's moving to January. And then I was supposed to be in, I think, Appleton, Wisconsin the week after, that's moving. Not sure when, January, February, something like that. But brimustain.com for any of that, any of my rescheduling. Anybody else? Elaine?

We attribute the success saved mankind for me. Thanks for joining us on this episode. You got walls and a roof. Well, all I was going to do is say, What's up? That's on the next nerd poker. The Nerpoker gang is visited by the ghost of ergonomic efficiency future, who shows them a future of scoliosis and nerve fade from hunting over on zoo.

Can Sam defeat the ghost and have time to pay a small boy to run and buy the biggest turkey in the shopkeeper's window? All this. And Brian gets that standing desk I recommended and stands on his balls wrong on an all-new nerd poker. Thanks for listening to another episode of NerdPoker.
