This week, Jahmez has no idea who Erik Kripke is (yikes), Jen is stuck in the Quantum Realm due to “technical difficulties,” SHDU loses all geek cred with his tragic lack of Pee-Wee knowledge, and Phil… well, Phil is just full of excuses (again).


Welcome to Distance NERDing — where the only thing more delayed than our intros is Jen’s internet connection.
