[@Itzchuffa]

Jesse saying no for 2 mins straight after the school of hard cox joke had me in tears

[@TocloseamI]

God what a fucking moment hahahahaha

[@structured_anarchist]

Always feel bad about the part of the intro where animated Dodger drops her ice cream while riding in animated Jesse's backpack.

[@fujin27]

She’ll probably get another one next week lol

[@hugeant97]

Only to drop it again 😭

[@Vicioussama]

Don't, she keeps trying to make us do HER homework cause she fails to do it for weeks :P

[@dirkstriderg234]

@@hugeant97the sisyphus

[@Donovarkhallum]

You need therapy

[@Machobunni]

I'm so happy Dooger does IRL cam for Geekenders. Her laughing face and reactions are contagious. Always miss those when she goes Vtuber but I understand her desire to vtube

[@hippymad1]

Have we learned why she's switched over to Vtubing?

[@badapple8029]

I don't get the vtubing thing it's the exact opposite of what her community wants. She sacrifices the IRL cozy vibes and her reactions and emotions during gameplay for a blank faced avatar not a good move imo.

[@Reggie_bringit]

@@hippymad1she says why in the vtuber episode

[@Winterbay]

Not having to make a split decision to turn off camera or not if her kid wanders into the room is definitely one I can totally understand.

[@MrOmarkhaledbadr1]

​@@badapple8029 You should watch the episode they did with Summer. Not that she needs to tell us why she is using the model, but I think she explained it in a pretty succinct manner. They also talk about why someone would want to use a VTuber model in general. It's very educational if you're unfamiliar with that world.

[@DrAustinSauce]

Dodger just being absolutely and wildly unhinged TWICE right out-the-gate is hilariously somehow still wholesome. She's the fun mom in the book club 😂

[@msaag5490]

Honestly, the reason Lil Jc looks the same is because not even the new lighting could fix perfection.

[@gabrieleomaggio1461]

4:10 I giggled so hard when Jesse said: "Reddit has been good to me" and Dodger's face was like: "What the ACTUAL FUCK did he say?!" 🤣🤣🤣

[@Tsumetaiyoru]

Guys, legally Blonde the musical is actually a certified hood classic. Look it up.

[@justalilguyyourhonor]

Gotta leave a comment for my favorite podcast!! PS do comments really help with the ol youtube algorithm? Will anyone see this??? If you're reading this, I hope you have a great weekend!

[@Purkinje90]

i see you, i hope you have a good weekend too!

[@kory_misun]

All engagement is good for the video and the channel! Have a lovely weekend!

[@MrOmarkhaledbadr1]

Praise the algorithm, have a great weekend!

[@justine11012]

Praise our robot overlords handling the algo 🎉❤

[@Cuzup]

In the name of the algorithm, have a refreshing weekend!

[@ShepherdDruid]

Jesse's experience playing mortuary assistant sounds like a Saturday night live skit

[@AngelavengerL]

haha it totally does! It makes me wish these had the little animated vignettes like cox and crendor get sometimes.

[@Siniroth]

8:53 Yoshi said he pushed very hard to have the company spend more than is 'the understood amount in the industry' on server infrastructure to help with the queues

[@LunnchBoxx45]

Yo, it's the WEEKEND!!!

[@treyblack3751]

Yeah, it's time to geek out!

[@Radignostic]

Dropout is absolutely the closest thing the us has to the british light entertainment chat/game show content

[@mdbssn]

When you were talking about comedy and game shows, I was amazed that Who's Line is it Anyway didn't come up. Not recent, but it had a good run and was popular.

[@wakkosan]

Megarant, Jesse and Dodger.... Jesse's relationship with his parents is SO wholesome and awesome.

[@Ranger_Kevin]

I just love it when they hype each other up with crazy ideas / theories, and then Jesse says something and Dodger just loses it with laughter. I hope at some oint they do more gameplay together like Life Is Strange oder The Letter, I miss those videos.

[@TanakJuka]

I GOT UP TO PAR! FINALLY! Great show you two lovely goobers, didn't know how much I missed a podcast with you two until I sat down and binged geekenders. Keep being awesome!

[@shinigamiinochi]

I never thought Jesse would be the poster child for 'play Elden Ring however the heck you want so long as you're having fun'

[@1000Tomatoes]

Why? That seems pretty on brand.

[@Dtromblee]

I love how chill this show/podcast is. Guests are a delightful surprise but entirely optional with these two incredible nerdy goobers ❤.

[@nickgaurd]

This is now the highlight of my week. It aint the weekend until Jesse puts on the dark glasses.

[@jimjam7928]

39:40 I'm trying to imagine David Mitchell and Richard Ayoade thriving in the States.

[@GreenPeteTV]

This podcast is just pure gold. It's been a while since I got hooked on something as positive as this. Thank you for making my weekends start in the best way possible

[@dirkstriderg234]

You know it’s gonna be a doozy with THAT opening bit

[@TheLittlehopeful]

I can’t believe there are already 30 episodes so far! I’m loving this show so much! This is the only KZbin show I make sure to comment on for the algorithm.

[@doughnutbunnie]

I've been so busy that I've missed many episodes but now I have a nice backlog to listen to while I study. WOO ITS THE WEEKEND 🙏💯

[@digdude64]

The intro skit was a great What If? for when Tails from Sonic and Snake Plissken team up.

[@P-Mouse]

i could see Jesse rocking an eye-patch

[@TorvusVae]

I look forward to this podcast every week. You guys are my favorite parasocial connection ever since the co-optional days

[@sonjablue9850]

Personally I loved your lore videos they were great and well done. I actually love the video choice at the end...that scene is just so emotional and gets me everytime. Love you Jesse forget them naysayers :)

[@Techstriker1]

Dawntrail put me two weeks behind on this, I can say its just as entertaining in 2x speed to catch up lol.

[@alexladon9757]

I'm so glad these are happening :3

[@dirkstam0511]

Well with a title like that I HAVE to check it out.

[@totengunso4047]

So what I'm hearing is this is Actual Cannibal Shia LaBeouf, but with Jesse and Dodger...

[@happygoth007]

Hiding in the grass - it's Dodger Cox

[@SilentOcalypz]

Engrossed in Dawntrail atm, but I'll watch the whole thing eventually!

[@theseesh9163]

An hour and 50 min? We are blessed

[@Jagerbomber]

Well I think it's time for Jesse to jump into Deep Water Game Squad

[@avidwriter2882]

Is there a multi-verse where they are just a couple that always gets on each others nerves but also this whole thing every week?

[@vadinshadow]

Is anyone else surprised at how well dodger sings?

[@P-Mouse]

not really surprised, a bunch of her old singing stuff is still on YT

[@vadinshadow]

@@P-Mouse sorry I've never seen those sorry

[@P-Mouse]

@@vadinshadow don't be sorry :)

[@Brittleknees1]

She's also been taking singing lessons for a while now on top of her base skill so she's been sounding amazing!

[@thescrewfly]

I believe she took theatre studies or drama or whatever it was called at college. So, no.

[@tinybee7780]

53:48 Thank goodness that the devs added that option. As soon as Dodger mentioned the use of heavy Scottish accents and slang I was worried I would barely understand any of it. I can't wait for Jesse to play Shinkansen 0. It has a surprisingly bittersweet story. Regarding that Geekenders: The Musical stuff, I hope Jesse finds that music program again in Geekernders Episode 26, the program that help make that awesome Content Creator music stuff.

[@shindalah1794]

Jesse tries so hard to avoid controversey he should be in the Olympics for Gymnastics 😂

[@rael5327]

This brightened my day, thank you

[@theseesh9163]

Y'all just made my day ❤

[@sinswhisper9588]

it would wonderful if they could show a gameplay/trailer of the games they talk about -- but from a technical side i understand it might be hard to arrange

[@In-Midnight-Clad]

Your 1.0 video was insanely good Jesse.

[@mega17]

2 hours? You spoil us

[@pikaparty]

ITS THE WEEKEND

[@ArcticHaven]

Awesome Episode!

[@emilarkstal5190]

Love this show!

[@xXAkirhaXx]

I can't tell which character Jesse is talking about, because it seems like there are two of them

[@terraglade]

So excited for Gestalt

[@JMCD107]

Celebrations! Tis the weekend!

[@Sprakenheit]

Watching the Geekenders vod while seeing "Live" status on the channel. The Cox is evolving! 🎉🎉

[@emilarkstal5190]

"I have never done a sorcerer build" EXCUSE ME? THE BOARCEROUS, BLANKYWANKY HERSELF, WOULD LIKE A WORD!

[@joshkindled3535]

Crendor would've been a garfield cat

[@Deiwulf]

Not even a magic build will help in the DLC, if not even make it worse, cause those guys stick to you like poop to the shoe with all the continent-long lunges, instant spells and literally teleportation 😄

[@snowstalker36]

I finally realized after going over the puzzle games here that Jesse and Dodger would probably like The Black Watchmen.

[@Starlightean]

I'm crying at the last segment lmao. To the very end. Really, the plot of the Musical could be about how they can't escape creative bankruptcy under capitalist endeavors lol but then all the geeks from all the musicals come together to form Geekenders and they have a great time.

[@ddm8ball]

Larping in Alabama is known as "civil war reenactment"... ha ha

[@P-Mouse]

beat me to it,

[@darkmyro]

As an Alabamaian can confirm

[@Siniroth]

1:20:50 Pebble is love, pebble is life

[@stalkermike]

Oh the musical rabbit hole was Amazing. I love the ideas but it definitely needs more work shopping

[@Jagerbomber]

Deal With It, Nerds? Are you Geekenders or Nerdenders?

[@khazad2112]

These musicals should include Rocky Horror Picture Show 😊 Just banger after banger.

[@Cefairon]

Soooo goood. Need to rewatch

[@sleepytronart495]

Not Jesse throwing shade at Bert Kreischer 😂😂😂

[@WhatMyr]

38:16 we tried to do taskmaster and it failed but I think we should try again. But there’s something. Different about British comedians.

[@FantomMind]

New Doctor Who season. Every episode is amazing. Up until the end. But I think every episode the first 80% is amazing. Up until they need to resolve everything, then it goes out the window.

[@AngelavengerL]

Lol loved hearing them design the most cursed musical. I'd totally watch I want, the musical and Geekenders musical. The I want one should be an animated special! Lately mostly been putting a lot of time into Sandrock and Hades2. Hubby is obsessively playing Elden Ring's new stuff. Really cool that the college released so many games for free. Definitely going to check that out! p.s. please invite PorcelainMaid aka Jowol on the podcast. I would love to hear him geek out with you two!

[@Arithryka]

I'm so hyped for geekenders the musical

[@GeneralNaga67]

Bruh my mom LOVES detective shows. She's watched literally all of them probably. She told me a few days ago that there were so many of them coming out this year and I was like "This is a great year for you then!" "Yeah! 🥰"

[@fgnsfgnsfgn]

100% agree with jesse that people take tv way too seriously... Marcus Aurelius: "You have the power to strip away many superfluous troubles located wholly in your judgment..."

[@RavenGlenn]

Jesse and Dodger: You need to watch/listen to "It's A Musical!" from Something Rotten. It's basically your entire idea just in a single song.

[@fujin27]

Jesse discovered Sturgeon’s Law lol

[@drdking0]

When talking about panel game shows: I miss Hollywood Squares...

[@Degnique]

Pebble Jesse is my favourite kind of Jesse

[@Kumimono]

I'll be eternally amused, that my offhand Blackagar Boltagonising of Dexbonus ended up in the stream title. :D

[@RealPattyP]

This one was a banger

[@lcg8220]

Convinced Jesse's mother has been replaced by an advertising bot and he's just not realised it yet.

[@HamburgExpress]

The trailer at the end of that ff14 video was a master stroke.

[@jimjam7928]

19:15 I mean, that's what everyone said about Game of Thrones before the last 4 seasons. I'll wait on House of the Dragon until it's actually finished.

[@BiblioRook]

Talking about puzzle games, I only just got around to watching what Dodger played of Cryptmaster (and a few other partial playthroughs after that since I've yet to see someone play it all the way though) and MAN i find myself wishing Jesse played more of it I got so into it, even if he too doesn't get around to playing the whole thing.

[@kontikius]

Jesse would slay on Game Changer

[@RogueNPCs]

The shows on Dropout Jesse is thinking of are I'm Actually & Game Changer. Both are wonderful shows.

[@seangraczyk9696]

The Rig is really well done. I highly recommend it.

[@nrwl23]

They upgraded data centers a while back and the worst I've seen is 2100 once.

[@mokajones74]

Dont worry Jesse, Shadow of the Erdtree might be the hardest piece of content FromSoft has ever made. You can collect a lot of the leveling resources without beating bosses

[@SeanSmith66]

This has been a long ass week... looking forward to the geekend!

[@DMorfin11]

I'm a bit late this week( 4 hours) I have been playing dawntrail. The new graphic update is sooo nice.

[@RhapsodyBD]

So I learned that they need a guest to keep them on track ----- ish ( But I love these, it's just two buds hanging out )

[@Chaindustries]

I need some fanart of Max Cox and Dexatronic Bonusaur.

[@joeleriksson89]

I'm here for Musical the Musical!

[@lordaethelwulf4308]

Soulitaire is another amazing demo to try!

[@alphacode5]

I was actually thinking of getting into final fantasy 14, but then i remembered jesse and realized that not only my experience was probably going to be an eternal queue, i would also be stealing the seat of someone who was really looking forward to the expansion so i bought cyberpunk instead

[@1000Tomatoes]

Since the game is primarily a story game you don't really lose much by not doing it day and date with the new release other than the chance of being spoiled.

[@ShepherdDruid]

As someone who is from Alabama Dodger is right, we are contractually obligated from birth to sing Sweet Home Alabama whenever we leave the state

[@ShepherdDruid]

Also Florabama is a real town it's in Florida on the florida-alabama state line

[@darkmyro]

It's our national anthem.

[@wrennethestoner]

Yo, when dodger finally plays elden ring, I need to be there. Fucking love the game, and my favorite bit is seeing people have first time experiences with the world. It's so fascinating to see the different paths that everyone takes. No journey is every really the same.

[@killroy42]

I think the characters on stage will speak to the AI live, and rhen pwrform rhe song it generates, which may be different for each performance!

[@FBBvivaj]

Match Game was a fantastic game show in the 60s-70s. Shocked it hasn't come back in the mainstream with today's celebrities (at least that I know of).

[@Dryminator]

@Dodger - Thanks for talking about and recommending Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden some episodes ago. I have been having excellent time with it and DONTNOD has done an amazing job making the decisions emotional and strong. And the crazy part is that its very similar to 2018's God of War in terms of many world design and gameplay mechanics. Definitely a contender for my Game of the Year pick for 2024.

[@RGcrasyRG]

BSG got the whole new caprica arc.

[@mlando6995]

Awesome awesome awesome.

[@Jackal0321]

New SGS on Monday? Hype

[@Jagerbomber]

Good luck with the Weird Al Polka Musical

[@ThePaddyfro]

Gameshow: taskmaster Few diff versions but British one with Greg Davies and Alex Horne is amazing

[@pakupalos]

classic fence sitting
