Verbal Components - Groundhog Day
Drake, where's the fidelity of our podcast audio?
Shoutout to the Noble Demon, who's orchestrations feature later in this episode.
Verbal Components - #2 Podcast
In this episode, Evan and Matt discuss the fact that a large portion of adult human beings need to be potty trained.
Verbal Components - Smash & Pass
Evan takes Matt on a truly wild ride. The "&" joke for Verbal Components episode titles is getting more and more inconsistent as time goes on.
Mild spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3, but not even so bad as the game's literal Steam page. Nothing beyond the introductions to the characters.
Verbal Components - Grappling with Grappling

Verbal Components - D&D is a Therapy Minefield (in a good way)
This week on Verbal Components, Evan talks about how Matt thinks that being a licensed therapist also means that he has a license to kill. Matt talks about Lil Nas X.
Verbal Components - One Week Later
The latest installment in our weekly show, where Evan and Matt both discuss their daily lives and how it always seems to come back to Dungeons & Dragons. Yup, that's it. Nothing...yeah, nothing else noteworthy about this episode.
By the way, this marks the beginning of Season 2 of Verbal Components!!!
Verbal Components - HORRIFIC Spell Descriptions
As it turns out, Evan and Matt's weekly podcast is instead a weak podcast. But hey, they still like D&D, and now they BOTH hate Wall of Force.

Verbal Components - Halloween Spooktacular
Matt and Evan meander through a dangerously haunted forest as they discuss their favorite scary movies--perhaps with a few…*gulp*…Dungeons and Dragons topics thrown in here and there. I honestly don't know what's scarier, at this point.

The Shocking Return!!! Matt and Evan are back from their truly bogus journey into sickness, apathy, and personal turmoil. While they discuss the passing of several ages of Man, visions of the future dance hazily on the horizon; will you be ready for what is to come?

Verbal Components - Bens & Beans [Feat. Ben from Lawful Great Adventures!]
Our heroes meet a new guest--one who drinks with them for 37 minutes and thinks Wall of Force is just as funny as Evan does! Benjamin from Lawful Great Adventures (for reasons unknown to me) actually showed up to our podcast (which is held together with duct tape) to discuss various elements of the haha funny game that we all know and love. Then, once we finished talking about Pathfinder, we talked about stinky Dumb & Dragons.
Follow Ben's endeavors and feats of strength @great_lawful on Twitter, and keep an eye out for his revamped Pathfinder 1E game stream on July 6th!

Verbal Components - Deep Cuts (First Ratatouille Discussion)
I cut my finger in the middle of this recording, so every word I type feeds me a little slice of hellish pain. Good news for me is that this episode description is now over.

Verbal Components - Dungeons & Dissatisfaction (MATT'S LEAST FAVORITE D&D SPELL)
Well, we're back from the void. Evan wants to separate Twitter into its constituent atoms and scatter them over the cosmos, Matt wants to do that to Evan because of a funny spell, and both of them are extremely dissatisfied with elements of the funny game.
Verbal Components - Dungeons & Scalding Hot Soup
Soup time. Guest episodes startiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing now. Go to the Twitter--that's Matt's work of art.

Verbal Components - Defeated & Dabbed On (Lost Dark Souls Bet)
Well, you can't win every bet you make. Well, I guess you can, but... Well, you know what I mean. Five days of Dark Souls 3 later, and that bastard devin walked away the victor. Sheer hubris was my downfall, I realize. Hey, nothing TOO bad happened--only the loss of 40 dollars and the beginning of a crippling gambling addiction. (Dear GOD that was a fun couple of days...)

Verbal Components - Dungeons and Dane Cook
Pbbbbffft Oh yeah. Dish. Dish. Dish. Dish. Dish. Dish. Dish. Dish. Dish.
Verbal Components - Kek or Cry (Covid Commiseration)
In this episode, Evan displays his true colors in acts of raging civil disobedience. The police arrest him for his clever and biting backchat, as Matt attempts to find a new co-host.
Verbal Components - Dungeons & Distance (Quarantined Life Begins)
Well, it's time to write another description. Hours after recording I think back to what was said, and all I can think of in this episode is the Boneyard WWE match. Go watch that, that was some good shit. Anyway, we discussed our distancing experiences thus far and trying to play D&D in person without giving each other the rona. Pretty good stuff.
Verbal Components - Calm Before the Storm
Well, we're back from the downward spiral--a never ending pitfall of work and unpleasant experiences--to bring you more of, well, us. After tripping and eating gravel at the starting line, our second recording actually came through. As far as my pandemic addled brain can recall, we discussed D&D, jobs, gaming etiquette and, like, I don't know, spiders I guess. We're taking a bit of a different stance going forward, as Dungeons and Dragons is a little, uh, completely devoid of interesting conversation points somewhere close to 100% of the time. The new Matt Mercer book came out, granting us ANYTHING to latch on to so we could talk about our hobby that we love oh so dearly. This, however, marks the beginning of a new era--an era where we talk about D&D but also uh other stuff too. Jesus. (RECORDED JUST BEFORE QUARANTINE)
Verbal Components - the Mediacom Dessert Special (ISP Monopolies FTW)
Evan and Matt invite our friend Devin onto the show, who is a regular member of their D&D campaign. A sizable portion of the comedy in this video is brought to you by our sponsor Mediacom, whose service these chuckles would not exist without.
