[@crendor]

Have these hosts ever actually done their homework

[@teddykaz47]

they’re homeschooled

[@joshuaseech8312]

Probably not

[@ryanmcintee]

Crendor don't ask questions you know the answer to

[@TheNoobchat]

no

[@originalspiff]

It's technically /always/ been hard to do homework on the Weekend. 😉

[@robertminnix6040]

Me sitting here realizing the channel has over 1m subs now, thinking back to the ROAD TO ONE MILLLIOOON! all those years ago. Here's the token external validation message: CONGRATS!

[@kinglooper]

Woah, did not realize how much this podcast blew up. Glad to see them finding success

[@halfandhalf3386]

still waiting in that Skyrim playthrough

[@ThoughtIncorrectly]

I thought Jesse had lost HIS mind going on and on about a dog hitting a homerun. Then I watched it and lost MY mind. 10/10 truly the goodest boy on the planet.

[@TheDarkChaplain]

Fun Fact for Jesse: Pretzels are 'Brezeln' in German, so 'Brezeln und Bier' works as an alliteration

[@obnoxiouspriest]

Additional fun fact: pretzels are Bretzels in French! And I just think that's a funny word. Bretzels! We need, Bretzels!

[@JayWeishaupt]

Hahaha, the idea of Dodger performing DMX is the best thing ever.

[@sdcurry2]

Both Jesse and Doogs turned into two old NYC Jewish people sitting on a park bench arguing about nothing.

[@AngelavengerL]

I loved that so much! These goofs.

[@Soutar3DG]

Only water is water, everything else isn't water.

[@YawaruSan]

You can always do better than water, never settle!

[@HarukoJisan]

But is it wet?

[@Pahhu]

Hot takes only

[@andromidius]

But all drinks contain water, so in a way its all water.

[@CompiledGabriel]

Ok but what about water with a little bit of lemon in it? Is it water?

[@TheBattlechicken]

Guests are fine or whatever, but I also really enjoy the Jesse and dodger only episodes too.

[@dmcross91]

I love the weekly episodes of the Dodge N' Cox podcast!

[@oplawlz]

Weird that they haven't fixed that title card yet.

[@Yozora_Jan]

an april fools podcast where you just read the most unimportant reddit posts for 10 minutes might make me wheeze of laughter

[@akigorii]

Really isn't the weekend until geekenders comes out 🔥 nice to see y'all again

[@inanedirk]

I certainly hope the Metal equivalent of those singing exams go up to 11

[@obnoxiouspriest]

Jesse and Dodger are just far too good for us. The fact that they are sequestered here on KZbin benefits us entirely. Should they ever be granted a larger platform our world would benefit.

[@MurgenDurgen]

Yall, you bookend my week so nice. I just get a drink, smoke a bit, and just vibe with yall. I miss when the internet was new to me, and I had endless time to watch yall.

[@BiblioRook]

Not gonna lie, the whole 'What counts as water?' thing kinda has been livin rent free in my head ever since they brought it up whenever I mix up some sort of water based drink. Granted this also might be because like 99% of what I tend to drink these days is ether MiO or instant ice tea.

[@David-co5oo]

related to hyping creators up, the moments in Game Changer where Sam gives sincere complements to the players bring me such joy

[@obnoxiouspriest]

Dodger taking vocal lessons? Damn. How good can she get? As far as I know she's always been a fantastic vocalist. I would have assumed she had some training. I feel like I saw her singing the song about pokémon at some point.

[@hawktato]

You absolutely did. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH7SmYqIpbFln8ksi=Ok_K1694YGspUDzN

[@Atlas_Redux]

Does Jesse and Dodger not fucking age? I swear they look just like they did on Cooptional

[@SgtWilko1979]

I dunno.... Jesse's got some grey now, I'm the same age and I notice. Dodger tho, she's a wizard clearly.

[@zepo82]

@@SgtWilko1979 still though, not much has changed! I'm a similar age to Jesse and no greys...just less :( ha! :D

[@mlg90]

i did nothing on the fourth. it was great.

[@alexladon9757]

My two favorite beloved goofs! So glad you guys are doing this

[@AzrealShadow]

The classiest show on the net

[@wakkosan]

Yo, it's the weekend it is time to geek out..... Ok. Now that I learned that Dodger is doing singing lessons, Geekenders the musical NEEDS to happen.

[@NerdyByExample]

I always watch this in the mornings on Saturday (basically this show is my Saturday morning cartoons), and was very sad when it wasnt there this morning. Love you guys and thanks for all you give us!

[@ryanmcintee]

Most of Reddit is just a creative writing exercise

[@10Neon]

24:52 Jesse is absolutely right. While American workers don't necessarily put in the most effort into their jobs, it can never be said that they're flying at half-mast.

[@SilentOcalypz]

It 𝘐𝘚 the weekend! 🥳

[@axelprino]

Last time I watched these two was like five years ago, maybe more, yet they don't seem to have aged a day. Good to know they have a new podcast.

[@KevelianKing]

Another great cast! Always sad when it ends, every time I end up turning up the volume to insane levels for the outro’s!!! Geekenders vibes 🔥

[@terraglade]

26:33 Pints & Pretzels

[@Diet0live]

First time I've been early enough to see all the spam bots.

[@Purkinje90]

25:55 Dodger's glance at the camera 🤣

[@FromFearRises]

This is genuinely the only podcast format video I watch and even when its just you two its so good

[@docterfantazmo]

Fun fact: Tim Curry was in Ozzy & Drix, he played Nick O'Teen and sung a rock ballard.

[@jiangju2206]

Hell yeah its the weekend

[@BiblioRook]

From what I remember (because I used this trick as a kid playing FF6 too) the Vanish/Doom trick worked because Vanish made the target immune to physical attacks but extra valuable to magic so the instant-death spells which normally would almost never work would now work 100% of the time. It did work with X-Zone too but X-Zone had the extra caveat of not just killing the target but sending them to a whole other dimension, which sounds like just a whole lot of flavor text but I know at least one situation of a this one optional boss that wandered the map that dropped a special magicite when beaten that wouldn't drop said magicite if you Vanish/X-Zoned him for just that reason.

[@milramas]

I really enjoy having a weekly dose of these two goofs

[@setheastman4181]

Here we go! I wait for this every Saturday!

[@diojiwoolf4723]

Dodger! Musical song suggestion: I Don’t Know How to Love Him Jesus Christ Superstar -Yvonne Elliman

[@ToqTheWise]

Dodger talking about singing lessons reminds me, I recently made a nostalgia playlist and the amount of this playlist that consists of Hiimrawn is staggering. Probably like half of it is Hiimrawn and Dan Bull. So I’ll be listening to Dodger sexy rap about Zelda characters and I’m like “it’s weird to think now she’s just a mom with a farm in England who sometimes streams video games I guess.”😂

[@BiblioRook]

Part of me that still finds it so funny how differently dog owners and cat owners respond to things that are very similar in regards to their pets. A dog owner will be like "My dog learn to respond to their own name! It's obvious so smart." Where cat owners often will be like "This little fucker learned how to turn off my computer while I'm using it if I'm not giving it enough attention."

[@sparkxl]

Hey Jesse, Doogs, this stuff is awesome. As always, but I figured there'd be no harm in actually saying it. Love you guys and your work, keep it up!

[@AngelavengerL]

aww thankyou for editing in the dog baseball. That is so cute! There are so many wtf Dodger moments this episode, and every time had me laughing. I definitely never heard of eat the frog.

[@josephhenryreyes8205]

That 40 minute test? It's like doing the Superbowl four times

[@SoShiBias]

Both of you, TB, and many creators bestowed upon me new perspectives of the internet back then. And I believe because you people planted the seed in me, that I still to this day, have the foundation to sprung positivity from within even at this climate. For whatever the internet has become, I hope you guys remains to be a light the way you want for people who seek or stumble upon for it.

[@kinglooper]

This episode was so good and so wholesome. Fantastic

[@Setliin]

I watch every GDQ event, it's always so awesome and wholesome - this sure went places, more places than usual I mean LOL

[@nitidiuscula]

I am USAmerican and have never before heard the phrase "swallow the frog"

[@Bioshyn]

Shrimp are basically bugs.

[@DavidJ667]

Just go in and say "BUT THIS EXAM GOES UP TO 9!"

[@RGcrasyRG]

Shouldn't it be "Giving up" by Linking Park with that gnarly scream?

[@astra_m00n]

Americans associate 4th July with fire works and many assume the rest of the world does too. Meanwhile to basically all the rest of the world, fire works is New Years only for the most part.

[@bldbthldzalafz]

Can confirm. My dad would eat the dog's biscuits sometimes.

[@JustSomeGeist]

Happy 1mil, Jesse!

[@cygnus987]

Always like watching a fair amount of AGDQ abd SGDQ. I think in one of the interviews one of the runners explained they were exploring a bug somewhat akin to what Dodger described, though what they've found sounded more like a way of potentially warping child Link to the final boss.

[@maluse227]

Jessi's music advice is the most boomer American thing I've ever heard, flawless, hilarious, no notes.

[@obnoxiouspriest]

Throwing shade on reading Reddit stories? It's a bold move, but I like it. That being said, I would not hate these two reading whatever stories from Reddit they chose. Is it passé? Quite probably. These two could make it fresh though.

[@melonmaster2892]

estonain here. yes, our last dragon died 165 years ago. we celebrate it on the 9th of may. good vibes.

[@In-Midnight-Clad]

This was great!

[@mega17]

Been a while since you guys had a guest. Hope you can find one soon! Hype for another Geekenders regardless! :O

[@tinybee7780]

1:07:37 It's hard not to think of Osmosis Jones whenever I hear people bring up Cells at Work. I love how it just depicts a regular day in Bill Murray's life 😆Also, Laurence Fishburne portrays such a sinister character there. Thrax was such a menacing villain for an anthropomorphized virus. The Cells at Work anime is definitely a fun watch, definitely a good edutainment show. It even has a " code black" version that talks about the more "mature" stuff that our body can do.

[@FatiguedPenguin]

i would suggest a west highland terrier for rodent control (if the cat doesn't work out) ours made sure to kill anything small it would even try too attack small fireworks. I am sure the other breads do the same but this one is very small in size and get into small spaces. He would make a perimeter around our back yard and would walk it every day to make sure no tresspassers. He did it so much he made a path in the grass. Good Dogo

[@Jagerbomber]

Expected Dodger to call him Jessop when she asked if he did his homework

[@Fnorder23]

PSA: don't eat catfood! Cat guts are more durable and capable of disposing of small pieces of ground up bones - human intestines will get damaged by the scraping!

[@25jazz25]

TBF - As an Australian Bogan celebration day sounds like a pretty spot on description of Australia Day. 😂

[@MercMercury]

Ayyy, it's the weekend!

[@crowskyler]

All hail Hissy Missy. Long may she reign.

[@Jian13]

The FF6 thing reminded me just how you could cheese the Cultist Tower by equipping Reflect Ring on all your characters and just bounce offensive spells off your own Reflect.

[@flakmoppen]

I love the thought of Dodger getting a cat, not as a pet, but as a farmhand. 😂👌🏾

[@LinhLe-rs7fr]

btw in german pretzel is spelled bretze. So bretze and beer

[@MrSHADOWANGEL999]

Truly glorious

[@obnoxiouspriest]

Complaining about fireworks? Oh yeah, you're my demographic. I feel like such an old man at 39. But fireworks have disturbed me for a very long time. It's too loud!

[@ToqTheWise]

Fireworks can also be really rough for autistic people and people with cerebral palsy. I have sensory issues from my autism which make it so that loud and sudden noises are like physically painful and a lot of people with CP retain what’s called the startle reflex which is something babies have that causes them to tense up when they hear a load or sudden noise. (EDIT: yes I know that acronym means something else but it’s what me and my ex girlfriend called it so it’s a force of habit)

[@sonjablue9850]

Oh man I'm on top of that level 9 list. Love it

[@sonjablue9850]

and i know the movie AND the show...but that is hilarious

[@justalilguyyourhonor]

It's the weekend!!

[@Vrikrar]

I read so many comments and every single one that said they knew "swallow the frog" was like I'm from (not america) at the end lol

[@kbredstar529]

playin heroes of the storm and tuning in is awesome.

[@Kazuma4068]

I always work on 4th of July.

[@SigmaElement]

"Eat the frog first" Of course is a thing, I am from mexico and even I know thats a thing americans say. (In spanish we say "a mal paso darle prisa" instead)

[@Jagerbomber]

I mean I've had Milkbones but I wouldn't call 'em good. Huh, If I were to Describe it, I would say WHAT IF YOU ATE A ROCK HARD SAUSAGE

[@Pretender6]

@1:08:00 Anyone remember "Once Upon a Time... Life", watched it, dubbed into Dutch, few times as a class activity in elementary school,

[@Brodesta]

"Bogan Celebration Day" does actually exist but its just called "Australia Day" because creativity is a very important thing, it just signifies the day the dude that first landed here... well got here, however in recent years it has come under some fire due to indigenous population feeling it shouldnt be a day of celebration as to them it is seen as "Invasion Day" as that was the beginning of the downfall of their culture and life. Politics aside though most people just use it as a day to get drunk and listen to a hit radio countdown of the top 100 songs streamed within the last 12 months

[@swedishZ0mBi3]

My favorite homework podcast

[@SigmaElement]

Dodger had a Evee song if i am not missremembering... and its FIRE.

[@casuallobster]

Eat the frog is a thing my Irish friend told me recently! You "Eat the Frog" get the bad thing out of the way so you can enjoy the rest of the thing eg; Chores etc. 100% a thing! :D

[@justinjacobson9837]

Is Salad Jesus like Toomgis from AMPM, but instead of having twizzler hair and other snack food items comprising his body, he has broccoli hair and other healthy options?

[@LunnchBoxx45]

Yo, it's the WEEKEND!!

[@GamerChex]

I wish people would be nice to other content creators, like I pimp the heck out of my friend's content but it rarely happens in return. Its like 10/90% of the time

[@HarukoJisan]

37:50 Me and Dodger had the exact same idea 😂

[@Jagerbomber]

Thanks Jesse

[@stalkermike]

Damnit jesse now i want to listen to a bunch of different music... Man osmosis jones was so good and i loved the cartoon they made for tv. The movie was good too though. I really want crossovers with the other podcasts i listen to now, have pushinguproses, Stephen Georg, or tom Fawkes on to explain whats happening visually while you guys are doing bits. It would be great. I'm now imagining Jesse as Leslie Nielson from airplane coming in to say "you're doing a great job. 👍"

[@lStoffyl]

So one might say Jesse’s chances at the firework show…went up in smoke

[@Jagerbomber]

Picturing Dodger being pulled off stage at the start of Rollin

[@QuixoticOdyssey]

"Hit'em with that dragula"

[@patrikkarlsson9463]

It's probably just a sign of the times and me being jaded, but god damn that long schpiel about dm-ing other creators gave me the "scrambling to get ahead of the accusations of scummy behaviour that are about to drop"-vibes. It's most likely just that it's impossible to talk about that and not to invoke those associations, and the harder you try not to, the more suspicious it seems, but man, that'd be a rough one.

[@racoonanity1000]

Oh I want that level 9 exam so badly

[@AbigatorM]

Pretzel in german is Bretzel. there is your matching, Also dear americans :-) Bretzen is mainly south german. We might be not as big as you but depending were in germany you are the people are very different.

[@michaelmccoy2384]

YO its the Weekend!

[@infuryify]

I believe that the lyrics from Rollin' are actually, well... Rollin'. Jesse seems to be looking at some incorrect (or maybe from a live version) lyrics.

[@user-xj9dc3no6s]

Second year in the US, took the kids to a historic recreation town and there was also a naturalization ceremony, which I think is the best US tradition for the 4th.

[@SBHoagie]

Pretzels and pints Jesse ggggosshhh
