The Nerdologues

This week the boys head back into the Sports Retorts Sports Court with the honorable Judge MB presiding. The trial at hand: whether or not Ryan Lochte is a super douche.  After the courtroom, the boys break down the impending NFL season division by division, comparing each one to an Olympic event as one last, "See ya never!" to Rio.

From tap dancing to the My Little Pony Theme Song to biking from Zipcar lot to Zipcar lot all over Chicago, Hannah has always enjoyed being an active person. She had a carefree journey through youth sports and became a dang triathlete while she was in college.

This week we recap the incredible Bit Bash 2016 festival with its project manager Jamie Sanchez as well as iO creative director Alex Honnet!

We partnered with the creators of Taylor Swift: Girl Detective for an enchanting night of stories and songs, of which this is the first half. How INTRIGUING. 

If there's anything Abby McEnany is better at than making people laugh, it may be laughing at herself. Don't be fooled by the self-deprecating title: This conversation is about how Abby has embraced the person she is, how she has used it to influence her comedy, and how so much of one's path and career has to be about being happy in the place you are.

Tim, Clayton, and Kellen have a field day ripping apart the new "it" game. Plus: can you guess which one of the Talking Games Boys got a refund for his purchase??

Here's the second of two pieces of audio we recorded from our Denver trip in June, a document of our board game panel at the Denver Comic Con!

This week MB and Hooli are left to their own devices while The Joe is Mainely on vacation. Without him they're just spinning their wheels... wheels filled with an array of problems in Rio that is. MB also drops some knowledge on the biggest MLB trades. All that and some sick A-Rod burns, which he will be nursing at home for the rest of the season.

Allison Reese used to ball so hard she'd make enemies on the court, but now she mostly uses her love of basketball to create analogies for other aspects of her life (read: comedy). A total gem and softy when not shooting hoops, Allison shares some personal stories ranging from attending Phoenix Suns games with her dad to being amazed at the kinds of things her mostly Mormon high school teammates would bring to conversations in the locker room to who she sees as the Steve Nash of Chicago comedy.
