In this month's episode, Schaffer adopts a hairless cat/demon, Lugo lands a gig as a (legitimate) clown and both hosts bat their eyelashes at Nathan Drake's latest adventure. Then the boys are visited by Brooklyn-based hip hop trio Hand Job Academy for a chaotic convo about YouTube views, bad bookings, and peeing on the road. Is Schaffer in the grips of a pink nightmare? Does Lugo wield the healing power of laughter? Will Ash, Meg, and Clara reveal the truth behind Hand Job Academy's origin story? The answers to these questions will be drowned out by air horns in this month's episode.For links and more info, head to the main episode page:http://nerdyshow.com/2016/06/epic-piecast-episode-44-hand-job-academy/

When a number of personal and professional setbacks gives Lugo the blues, Schaffer makes his 800th attempt to convince his co-host to join him in indulging in his favorite medicine - despite the fact that Lugo has never tried an illegal substance in his life. This time, however, Schaffer frames his peer pressure as an opportunity to conduct a scientific experiment, complete with recorded results. Will Schaffer persuade him? Will Lugo give in? Is Pink Floyd lost on the drug-free? These questions will be asked, though nobody here remembers the answers, man.For links and more info, head to the main episode page:http://nerdyshow.com/2016/05/epic-piecast-uncomfortably-dumb/ ‎
