Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! Here we go again--it's time once again to debate our way through the Internet throug the predictably wacky Would You Rather!
Join David, Seth, and our new friend Anna as we answer those questions absolutely no one is asking, discovering new things about each other in the process! After freeing our inner carpenter, we find out that Anna enjoys drinking shots of maple syrup, that in addition to being a monkey, Seth apparently also really, really wants superpowers; and that David thinks responsibility is the worst superpower anyone can have. Hey, wait a minute...
This episode features Anna, a theater afficionado from Iowa who doesn't want to be experimented on by the government and likes walking...even at the expense of an arm.

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! After a very bizarre intro (following our very first recording fail ever!), we jump feet-first into a genre of video games that has become very popular in recent years: sandbox games! Join us (and returning guest Jesse) for a whirlwind conversation about everything from Minecraft to Garry's Mod and back!
This episode features Jesse, our resident indie games expert who prefers his steak shaken, not stirred. Hey, wait a minute...
Here are some of the games we talked about during the episode. Go check 'em out!

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! It's that time again--time to spin the Wheel of Mor...uh, that is, to play Would You Rather!
Join David, Seth, and new guest Jesse as we once again try to logic our way through the Internet, with some life-altering questions and bizarrely thought-provoking conundrums (to absolutely no one's surprise). As Jesse points out, some of these are simply terrible, but we do find out that Seth wishes he was a genius, we all prefer the Beatles over the Rolling Stones, and that despite our best efforts, none of us can do the Epic Trailer Guy's voice.
This episode features Jesse, a computer engineer from Missouri who thinks Dawn of Justice would've been better with Nicholas Cage in it and hates sleep. (But really, don't we all at some point?)

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! Well, we started off the show with a controversial episode and here we are again! This week, Seth and David chat with returning guest Abi about the much-maligned Star Wars prequels--with a twist. Instead of bashing them further (because let's be honest, way too many people have done that already), we talk about things that we actually liked from the prequels! Tying in a handful of supplementary materials (as well as some personal anecdotes about the films), come along with us for another unique take on something very dear to our hearts.
This episode features Abi again, our resident millenial who wants to dye her hair blue and watched all of the Star Wars films in the wrong order, but we're not judging. Much.
(P.S. We will actually talk about the books and our framework of Star Wars at some point. Pinkie swear. We promise.)

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! Here we go again--we're about to tackle another lively attempt to logic through some bizarre and totally relevant hypothetical situations--it's Would You Rather!
Join David, Seth, and brand-new guest Abi on an adventure through the Internet, where we discover that after 15 episodes we've managed to finally go mainstream!...according to this game, at least. We also learn that David wishes he had a Batcave, Seth wants to be an Ewok, and that some of us (not naming any names) really, really hate spiders.
This episode features Abi, a broadcasting tech-in-training from Ohio who has no sense of balance and thinks Superman is overpowered. (You can decide for yourselves if she's right, we refuse to comment.)

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! After a spectacular intro fail (and some odd technical issues), we once again take part in dissecting strange questions and finding out about ourselves--also known as the popular internet game Would You Rather! Come along with Seth and David as they debate each other over extremely relevant topics such as eating food from a dumpster, who they'd rather have narrate their lives, and how the world should end! (David's money is on the zombie apocalypse.)

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! This week David and Seth kick it old school and discuss something barefoot parents everywhere fear to tread upon--the dreaded LEGOs! *dun dun DUNNNN*
Come along with our dynamic duo (no, not that one) as we reminisce about that ubiquitous building toy that absolutely captured our innocent imaginations and wowed us with cool-looking tech (here's looking at you, Exo-Force)! Along the way, we also explore a question that would have driven our younger selves absolutely bananas...how many LEGOs would you buy with $500?

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! This week, David and Seth break all kinds of GNAPcast trends on the show, including not talking about Harry Potter for the first time in three episodes! Join us as we chat about different aspects of Greek mythology, ranging from its inclusion in pop culture to the Illiad and Odyssey to a really terrible pun we didn't catch until editing! (But hopefully we're all a little smarter by the end...)
MINOR SPOILERS for Percy Jackson and the Olympians, should such a thing be an issue for you. You have been warned!
P.S. If you're curious about the sketch we mentioned in this episode, you can find it on our YouTube channel here: Who's On First?
DISCLAIMER: The GNAPcast does not endorse acts such as eating babies, attempting flight with wax-and-feather wings, or flirting with everything female within a ten-mile radius. Don't worry, all of that will make sense.

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! In this epic finale to our two-part Harry Potter quiz, we (and Luke) discuss, blindly guess, and dream-logic our way through more trivia questions about the Wizarding World! Come along with us to find out things you never knew you wanted to know about The Boy Who Lived; and again, beware spoilers for this book/film series that now includes a five-part film series based on a textbook mentioned one time in the first book!
This episode features Luke, our Trivia-giver and a man who very much enjoys chunky peanut butter.
You can play along at home, too! Here's the Cleansweep Seven level quiz (easy), here's the Nimbus Two-Thousand level quiz (medium); and if you're really feeling brave, why not tackle the FIREBOLT level (much hard)?!?

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast! Continuing our trend of Harry Potter-themed conversations, this week we (along with our new guest Luke) tackle a trio of tricky trivia games all about The Boy Who Lived. And, y'know, some of his friends. They're sorta important, too. In any case, join us in this extra long, two-part episode for more Potter shenanigans--including some odd guesses and strange reasonings to get there--and once again, beware spoilers for this book/film series that's now almost old enough to get a reboot!
This episode features Luke, a programmer from Maryland with a voice like an angel and a strangely scientific approach to making wand cores.
