Discussing the rules to an Epic the Musical drinking game.
Danny: Take three shots every death. I like that it’s-
Nick: 600 MEN DIED???
Every single time someone tells me they did something or they will do something I respond with “as is your right by contract” because of that Otakus Anonymous episode where Danny goes insane reciting anime poetry or whatever that was. I also often say “schmeckles” as a form of currency, and I consistently have to edit the phrase “bascuse me?” out of messages I write.
TLDR the OA podcast/Danny Motta is permanently shifting my vocabulary 😭
Danny: So they made a spinoff [of Young Sheldon] about his brother, Georgie-
Nick: The one who’s jorkin it? Jorkin Georgie?
Danny: Yeah, Jorkin Georgie-
Nick: Is the spinoff called Jorkin Georgie?
Danny: It’s called Jorkin Georgie.
Danny: The Beatles have like no genre. Like, all of their songs sound radically different. I’ve listened to like six different Beatles songs and been-
Nick: Cause Shake it Up Baby*-
Danny: Slaps. It slaps.
Nick: But like, Yellow Submarine, what’s that about?
Danny: Not that good. The Coocoocachoo one?** I’m not into.
Nick: Year 3000?*** Not that great.
[pause]
Danny: How’s that go?
Nick: [softly singing] And we went to the year three thousand, life’s underwater and our teeth don’t hurt anymore… dentistry got really good…
*the song title is still Twist and Shout even though both times they’ve had this conversation they called it Shake It Up
**that song is I Am the Walrus
***notably a Jonas Brothers song. It’s unclear if Nick forgot that for a minute or if he was always circling around to comparing the Beatles and the Jonas Brothers
Nick: You loved him for his diabetes.
Danny: I loved him for his- whi- Nick?
Nick: What?
Danny: No, like Nick Jonas?
Nick: Yeah, Nick Jonas has diabetes.
Danny: Don’t go ‘what’
Nick: What??
Danny: I’m talking about a different Nick, clearly-
Nick: There’s only one, it’s me.
Danny: Um, but anyway, long story short, I bought a bunch of stuff but stole the pencils cause I was like 'these should be government issued' for sure.
Nick: Oh, absolutely. You get three pencils a month.
Danny: Yeah. And then I went home and threw up out of anxiety and guilt.
Nick: Cause you though the police were about to kick down your door??
Danny: I was like 'They're onto me.'
Nick: 'I fucking know you got 'em!' and you're like 'try to find the pencils amongst all my other pencils, motherfuckers. I mixed 'em in.'
Danny: True, I should have just scrambled them in... they're just like ripping out fingernails like 'POINT 'EM OUT!'
Nick: Yeah, everything’s on fire. For those of you who aren’t in this room, there’s an alarm outside of my house, there’s a fire truck, maybe we’re on fire we’re the reason it’s here. By the way, I will be joined today by the fact that I just found my master degree pendant that makes me look like the world’s cheapest Olympian.
Danny: You won an award for graduating college?
Nick: First off-
Danny: Full spoilers for the series finale of Young Sheldon-
Nick: You’re gonna have an upset audience right now.
….
Danny: It is tastelessly sad.
Nico: Does Young Sheldon get put down like a horse with a broken leg?
