Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast--your source of geekly entertainment!
Well, here we are, the last episode of Season 2... it's been a blast, filled with memorable moments, exciting trivia games, and more dumb jokes than an amateur stand-up club. Thank you to all you listeners out there who've come along with us for all this crazy stuff.
Okay, enough sad things! In honor of this being the season finale, David and Seth decided to test their friendship with a trivia game to see just how well they know each other. Let's just say... it doesn't end well. (Spoilers: both of them were really tired and anyway something just seems off.)
David's Fun Fact:
This episode has actually been in the works since Improvapalooza, but since it was so funny when we recorded it we decided to save it for the last episode of Season 2. I do a majority of the post-production for these episodes, and this is the hardest episode I've had to edit yet because I was laughing so hard. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast--your source of geekly entertainment!
It's been a while since we've done one of these, but it's time once again to answer the questions that no one's been asking--that's right, we're playing Would You Rather?
Join Seth and David this week as they debate through another series of extremely relevant questions...and find out some dark truths about each other in the process, namely that Seth has an odd aversion to mirrors and that David is a time-travelling maniac who once went almost a month without brushing his teeth. Very Riverdale.
On a lighter note, we'll also find out how long ago this episode was recorded, and just how strongly David feels about mustard. Enjoy!
You can play along at home! Ask yourself only the most important question: Would You Rather?
And here, for your listening... enjoyment, is Buffalo Soldier.

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast--your source of geekly entertainment!
Welcome to a very special episode of the GNAPcast, one that was a long time in the planning--it's Improvapalooza, the episode where everything's made up and the points don't matter!
In an episode inspired by their love of improv comedy and shows like Whose Line Is It, Anyway?, join Seth, David, and featuring returning guest Luke and new guest Lucas (aka SparkOtter) as they fumble their way through several improvised comedy sketches (some of which work surprisingly well in a non-visual medium).
Along the way we'll discover that it's really hard for an amnesiac to give a press conference, that Luke and Lucas could both be voice actors, and that every accent David does turns into Arnold Schwarzenegger pretending to be Scottish!
5% Savvy is a musical project created by Seth, Luke, and Lucas with influences from Broadway to Irish folk music. You can find out more about us on Twitter, or by checking out our website. Stay Savvy!

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast--your source of geekly entertainment!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GNAPCAST!! We started this crazy thing a year ago today, and it's been a wild ride with tons of goofy jokes, random trivia, and great memories! Thank you guys for coming along with us. We couldn't have done it without you.
Okay, enough sappy stuff. On with the show!
It's time to let our dark sides out here on the GNAPcast--no, we're not becoming Sith Lords (although we hear they have a fantastic dental plan). We're going to share some of our favourite animated villains, from movies, animated TV shows, and more! (And maybe probably have mostly the same list of villains, for some reason?)
Join Seth and David as they discuss what makes a villain good (as an antagonistic character, not morally), Seth's true motivation for discussing villainy on the show (we still aren't sure if he's actually a villain or not...), and whether or not David actually understands what "scary" means!
Seth's Fun Fact:
The fact that (spoilers) David put Azula, of all people, on his "goofy villain" list got us so off-topic that we spent nearly twenty minutes debating this point before he finally explained his reasoning. Even though she's voiced by Grey Griffin, who's usually known for playing far more lighthearted characters, Azula still remains one of the most terrifying sub-villains I've ever seen in a show...especially when she loses control.

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast--your source of geekly entertainment!
Here we go again with another Google Autofill game, this time centered on the much-beloved puzzle series Portal! (As such, this episode contains heavy spoilers for both Portal and Portal 2. You have been warned.)
Join Seth and David as they ask Google (and each other) insightful questions about gaming's dumbest robot, gaming's most cake-loving robot, and possibly the worst company CEO of all time--looking at you, Cave Johnson.
Fact Checks & Extra Stuff! - David
"Does Wheatley Love Chell?" -- Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics
"Is GLaDOS Evil?" -- All we had to do was pull that lever
"Is Cave Johnson a Real Person?" -- More of J.K. Simmons' memorable voice roles
"Is Cave Johnson a Real Person?" -- The famous lemons rant
David's Fun Fact: In the Portal games, abusing the camera is one of my favorite pasttimes! I used detached cameras to speedrun two different test chambers in Portal 1--Chamber 17 (using only two portals and a camera stacked on the Companion Cube), and Chamber 18 (cleared in 47 seconds using a detached camera to prop open the door).

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast!
'Twas the week before Christmas and all 'cross the booth, not a creature was stirring save three nerdy goofs.
Seth Andrew and Cassie were having some fun, then David said, "Hey wait, I'll record that one."
He dashed to the console and set up some mics, then checked to eliminate awkward volume spikes;
And with a thumbs-up we all started to talk, in accents with a script that was no cakewalk;
Til finally we came to the end of the scene, and now here it is-- you'll see what we mean.
The Mousetrap invites now, all cheerful and odd, but as we perform it, there's no need to applaud.
A wintertime mystery to dry all your tears, or at least that's the hope til Season 2 premieres!
