Summary

Don't worry nerd of mouth breathers, there is lots of joy and very little wrath in this episode, it just fit the pun too well. We're excited to talk comic (and everything else) conventions as Holden gives a brief history on the beginnings of what would eventually become the gigantic gatherings of geeks we see today. Meanwhile Jake reminisces about performing at anime conventions and Mike learns about DashCon and the ballpit of despair. No one puts ballpit in a corner, except Dashcon. That's a thing they totally did. Plus we read listener submitted stories that include a Dark Phoenix rising in bed and the almost death of Warwick Davis. Want even more Nerd of Mouth?
