Dungeons and Dragons gets the How it Stacks treatment as the terrible 3 take on this most storied of games. Let's be honest, you've looked at their logo and thought… I wonder when they’ll do it. No? Okay well um, it's still a funny/entertaining episode! JD shares his thoughts on why people don't play it and explains its role to him now. The professor lets us know he will beat that ass if you get in his RPG way. Bulldog breaks down what the game compares too and why he didn't play it as a kid. The guys get a little philosophical on this one but it's only for a bit. They also debut Paw Paws Medicine Cabinet (the professors band) during the break. In a game where…

“Is kobold sex considered yiffing”

”Using a gelatinous cube as lube”

“I hope you get violated by a beholder while a mind flayer watches”

These aren't only said but used as insults you have to wonder, does it STACK? Find out on this most newest of episodes.

Can you believe it? How it Stacks has done 50 episodes...

The best part is, you're still listening. Well maybe, we at HIS understand you may just have this set to auto download but you know what? We're grateful anyway!

For the 50th of episodes the gents are stacking... The Naked Gun trilogy!

It's a glorious walk down pun town as the terrible three stack the gag driven comedy trilogy that many have not only loved but have idolized, spoofed, and damn near worshiped. The guys all have fond memories as children of this classic but they also have some pretty cool differences about what they remember too! JD kind of blames his weird humor on this topic (as been his trend with a few of the last comedies we've covered). Professor brings the epic facts and knowledge as he earns his stripes for sure. Bulldog makes a lot of good points as he keeps the guys focused, although he does help JD stray from time to time.

If you like episodes 1-49,we confident that 50 won't be the one that makes you stop listening!

It's our newest episode ever!

It's a me, Mar-- *smack*

We get it, it’s Mario. Yes, the final part of the Mario trilogy is here. Well, until we stack some later games. Mario 3 gets what it deserve as the Terrible Trio tackle one of the foundation pieces of the Mario franchise. This might be one of the few topics where guys actually remember the topic the same way when they were kids. On the second half of the show the guys dive deeper into the Mario conspiracy theory and honestly, it makes sense. JD gets prideful of Bulldog as he finally steps up. Professor bring the knowledge hard on this one as he brings up the mythical “anchors” of Mario 3. Also, Hammer brothers suit??!! A HIS episode wouldn't be complete without some type of controversy and this one starts it off right, as the guys sing the wrong theme and are oblivious to the fact all the while Bulldog tries to stop it… (you’ll hear it)

Oh, and the Stackage… Yeeeeaaaaah… :)

It's a me, Mario… 2!

The second title in the prolific series; Mario Bros 2 gets the HIS treatment on this newest of episodes. The guys don’t waste anytime as they live play the game while they record the show. Be prepared for bad language early on this one! The guys go over how America can’t handle the original game and had to get a rebranded version of another game which became what we know as Mario 2 but in actuality is not what originally was supposed to be Mario 2 originally.

Confused? Don’t worry they’ll clear that up for you. In a great turn of events Bulldog has a conspiracy theory that might just be one the best Mario theories and the worst part is, they skim over it!! The professor and JD bring some facts on this one but nobody is ready for the Birdo transgender conversation… (Seriously it's a thing). Breakout your NES and play along as the Terrible Trio take on the what some might say is the hidden gem of the Mario series while others say it's a digital turd storm.

Grab some shrooms and Fireflowers!

We’re talking Super Mario Bros, not a hippie festival (though that too could be fun). Arguably one of the biggest game topics the guys have stacked. This is one everybody* remembers or has at least heard of in passing. Its music has started entire genres. Its game-play has been copied for years. The terrific three go all-in on this one. They start off, like any other classic, sharing their memories of Mario. On the second half things start to get dicey as the Video game movie debate begins. The talk about the Mario Bros movie, Resident evil, and many others. The Professor and The Bulldog let JD in on a secret they've  been keeping for 3 years!

This is an epic episode; seriously...

I’m just going to get right to it…

Ernest, the magical Jim Varney character that has impacted so many lives, is our topic on this newest of episodes. The guys go into full nostalgia mode when this one kicks off. It’s the first topic in a while where all of the terrific three remember it. The Professor fights back tears of joy as he remembers the legend that is Jim Varney and demands his birthday be a holiday. JD admits that a lot of his comedic inspiration came from Ernest. Bulldog remembers it well and almost earns a face punch from The Professor.

Go grab some MIAK, sit back, and enjoy this one: it's a doozy!

bah weep grana weep ninny bon! JD has cashed in his Trivia Wars prize and hand picked this topic out of the millions of other topics that The Professor and Bulldog would rather be doing. The HIS trio not only celebrated JD’s trivia wars win on this one, they celebrated a birthday, AND brought on a guest host.  The jokes start early on this one as Bulldog and Willis share that they BOTH don't have very many memories of this "epic" topic while JD can just about recite it from memory. This also marks the 1st episode the guys cover music which starts the big debate on “you’ve got the the touch”... Is it really a fight song? Take solace in the fact that in this movie there is no Michael Bay and for a movie targeted at kids…  a lot of Autobots and Decepticons WERE harmed in the making. Will the Professor and Bulldog regret their decision to let the winner of trivia wars get to choose the topic or will they all rejoice in bask in the possible glory that might be Transformers: The Movie. Find out on an all new How It Stacks.

Science rules!

While, yes, it does this isn't just a random fact; it's a snippet from… Bill Nye: The Science Guy!!

The Terrible 3 break out their lab coats on this one and embark on a journey to discover if the relief pitcher for classrooms around the world (except those in Alabama: apparently Bulldog and Professor had a terrible childhood) stack. He’s been a massive influence to millions around the world and continues his scientific journey to this day. However, Bulldog and the Professor saw him differently when they were kids. JD only liked him as a kid cause it got him out of school work. The guys go all over the place in this episode; from E3 conversations to Allison Mack back to typical HIS stuff. Trivia wars gets all sciency on this one, so there’s some learning while listening. Yes, that's probably a first for them!
