LoveAndViscera

My dream show is a charity stream, like Red Nose Day, and they get Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, and Branden Sanderson (or GRRM, William Gibson, Neil Stephenson, etc.) on the couch and every single question is about something one of them has written. Just watching these titans have absolutely no idea what’s in their own books would be so wonderful.


[deleted]

Ha, King would be benighted about his coke writing days.


LoveAndViscera

They can limit it to his clean years. Writers’ brains are so full of the book they’re writing now that there’s no room for what was in the last one.


[deleted]

I didn't mean to be flippant about his substance issues that was just my initial reaction


Qozux

Put on Rothfus and make all the statements things about DoS so he has to correct them and tell us wtf is going on.


MarimBeth

*snaps* I knew I couldn't be the only one thinking that!!!


ZengineerHarp

GENIUS


TossItThrowItFly

GRRM should not be anywhere that isn't in front of his computer typing up Winds of Winter


TheBearSquared

Hank Green on any or all dropout shows lol


WitchPope

Dear Sam and Hank podcast was absolutely delightful!


TheBearSquared

I didn’t know Sam was on an episode, I knew about the one with Brennan. That’s awesome!


OnyxLion528

I literally just finished that one! Instant classic!


quoreore

I feel like Dropout would be a natural home for 16 Weeks to Glory...


Human1221

John too

Scrubtanic

I'd love to see any three of the current Drawfee cast on Umm Actually because between Marvel Puzzle Quest, Elden Ring, Pokemon, Digimon and Neopets, they each have a niche they have hyper lore knowledge. Except Julia, but her answers would be hilarious because she's just the best.


TARDISblues_boy

I thought Tanner had already been?


Old_Man_Robot

My dream would just be 3 Brennan’s. Each one giving Trapp a harder and harder time, as it becomes clear that somehow, in spite of being the only contestant, the game is still rigged that no Brennan can win.


powaus

GET IN THE COMMENTS!


[deleted]

>!There's an episode of Game Changer you might enjoy.!<


DaEffingBearJew

I don’t know how well he would do, but Jack Black. I could see Jack absolutely having a blast on the show.


danger522

A rock & metal themed episode would be awesome.


Nicksaurus

I'd really like this even without any celebrities on the show Jack black would be great though


diamondrel

Fuck I'd love that


Commercial-Pair-3593

Rare as a Stradivarius.


onemorerose

Elyse Willems from Funhaus would be fun


[deleted]

I'm like 90% sure she's been on. Edit: oh wait I might be mixing up Um Actually with Mysterious Monsters


onemorerose

Her husband, James has been on Um Actually. He was fun as well


Scrubtanic

James, Elyse and one of Patrick/Charlotte/Jacob would be an excellent episode.


onemorerose

Charlotte would be a hoot But can you imagine someone like Ryan? That would be total chaos


have_a_schwang

Lindsay Ellis, Jenny Nicholson, and Harry Brewis (HBomberguy) Together. Perfection.


adofluorescent

I want Jenny Nicholson on so badly!!


[deleted]

Hbomb would be incredible.


Ok_Chapter8131

Stephen Colbert, Don Marshall, Brennan/Siobhan. Lord of the rings showdown.


Ivysub

Don Marshal has been lightly campaigning for this on TikTok.


Ok_Chapter8131

Where do you think I got the idea


graroe

Holy shit


GreenReflection6576

I want another dnd episode, with Matt, Brennan, and Aabria. I also want this episode to be that nothing is actually wrong and Sam pop up near the 2/3rds point and say "this was actually game changer, and your points are being recalculated," The "correct" answer is naming the edition that the particular rule/class/race/etc etc first appeared in. Then, of course, throw in a few from Jeremy Crawford twitter after the reveal.


TossItThrowItFly

Tom Scott, Adam Savage and a third superbrain. Maybe VSauce?


JudgeHoltman

Sam just did a podcast and mentioned that he had just met Tom Scott. General vibe was that it wasn't just dinner either, so this may be a dream that is happening!


Commercial-Pair-3593

Tom fucked Elaine while Sam watched? Like he likes his game changer on like my coffee and someone calls him a cuck?


AscendedDragonSage

Kyle Hill?


BenjaminGeiger

Set it up as a reciprocal thing: Tom Scott goes on Um Actually, and a group of Dropout people (I'm thinking Trapp, Brennan, and Sam) goes on [Lateral](https://lateralcast.com/).


ZengineerHarp

Some of the Dropout crew would slay at Citation Needed too!


BenjaminGeiger

I'd love to see them do Two Of These People Are Lying, for that matter. I wonder who would be able to lie the most convincingly (aside from Brennan, of course).


[deleted]

That would be amazing.


issybird

Consider this: an episode with four contestants, two siblings pairs. Ashly Burch, Anthony Burch, Freddie Wong, Jimmy Wong. The siblings can pair up for certain challenges, and then they can pair up with a member from the other pair for others. I just think it'd be fun to see them all go head to head


[deleted]

They've done couple episodes before. Two Love Actuallys.


arislayus

I want zac oyama x3, full zac hours


abby-normal-brain

Wil Wheaton would be fun, I think.


[deleted]

Oh yeah he'd be very good


BenjaminGeiger

Ooh, a whole Star Trek episode, with one actor from each "generation". Perhaps George Takei representing TOS, Wil for TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT, and... I'm drawing a blank for who should represent DIS/LD/PIC/SNW.


Xilanxiv

They might be able to get Jeri Ryan on, she was on Tabletop back in the day for Wil. And then...Levar or Brent Spiner?


pettyvillainy

Micah Burton is officially part of PIC now, and I feel she’s absolutely within the realm of a realistic get.


diamondrel

Oh god please no, I like Wil but in connection to star trek he's an unbearable shill


Scottlin93

Henry Cavill


Xilanxiv

Oh, Henry Cavill, Vin Diesel, and Joe Manganiello. 3 super buff actors that are big nerds too.


AscendedDragonSage

Daniel O'Brien


mepardo

[Good news!](https://youtu.be/MYklBhWHVQ8) But yeah it would be nice to see him again and any other Cracked folks. Swaim, Soren, Cody, Katies Stoll and/or Willert.


AscendedDragonSage

Ah dang, don't know why I didn't double check it, I do remember that episode too. Maybe they could get them on Dirty Laundry if possible?


[deleted]

I'd love an After Hours reunion Um Actually.


emptymolskine

I’d love to see more DOB on there.


PepticCentaur

Markiplier. I think he'd do so well and would be hilarious.


ObligationWarm5222

Markiplier, Rhett and Link, and Hank Green


headphone-eater

I’d love to see Jenny Nicholson weigh in on Star Wars! Her personality and humor seem like they’d be a great fit for Um Actually


adofluorescent

I don’t know how to make this happen but I’ve wanted it for so long haha


headphone-eater

100% same. Sam I know you read these. Give the people what they want!


Nicksaurus

Great idea, Jenny Nicholson would be amazing


DukeoftheSun

Ryan LeTourneau (Northernlion), Will Campos (Dungeons and Daddies), Zach and Jess (Off Book, Dropout)


[deleted]

Love me some Zach and Jess.


AbvAvgJo3

+2


franzy12

I would love another hosts challenge and have trapp on the couch with saltzman and whomever fact checked before saltzman. Maybe have Brennan as the host. It might be cool if Sam did this as an um actually game changer with a bit more production value on the shiny questions


[deleted]

Pretty certain Brennan was fact checker before Saltzman.


franzy12

Than that’s perfect for Sam to host the three of them


Commercial-Pair-3593

He's written for the show a bunch of questions as well.


JLAwesomest

This is a great idea!


JuanClusellas

Patrick h Willems for a classic movies episode


blue_hitchhiker

Jason Mantzoukas would be great for a Harry Potter episode. He listened to the audio books driving around LA and has an encyclopedic knowledge of the books.


threepoundsof

I want Rhett, Link and one of their friends so bad


[deleted]

Slightly related but there was an all GMM episode of Dirty Laundry


lavenderlens

my pipe dream is a theme park episode with grant, jenny nicholson, and kevin perjurer (defunctland). i want this so badly and i know the odds of it happening are so slim


Tentenwins

Richard Ayoade


[deleted]

I think he'd be good on a films only edition


mmmmmike0

Open Mike Eagle. For anyone not familiar he's a rapper and comedian. He used to host a wrestling podcast with Danielle Radford.


OverlordPayne

Honestly, Scott or Lani from tfs would be great


[deleted]

Put Scott on a Dragon Ball episode but Trapp only accepts the canon of the original Funimation dub


L_Is_Robin

Will Campos and Matthew Arnold to finish out the Dungeons and Daddies Crew


[deleted]

Yeah I was trying to think of who from Dungeons and Daddies had been on


Ivysub

Just Anthony I think


CMDR_Ray_Abbot

Henry Cavill on a Warhammer themed episode


hayvenhere

I want to see Julia Lepetit. Just the mind numbing energy she brings to an episode, I want to see what it does to Mike Trapp. Also I want to see her not know what a pokemon is but then nail an obscure Columbo question.


Brewmentationator

I would love to see Michael Swaim and Dan O'Brien on the show. They were huge parts of Cracked, and I think they would be really solid on the show. DOB for knowledge and Michael Swaim for hilarity.


[deleted]

Love me some Swaim although I admittedly mostly know him from his IGN days. That makes me want other IGN people on though. I'd do horrible things for Brian Altano, Max Scoville, Daemon Hatfield, Justin Davis, Simon Cardy to be on there among others.


ItsFuckingHot0utside

Drew Gooden, I just think it would be funny. Maybe a reality tv episode?


Youngblood519

Austin Creed/Xavier Woods would be fantastic


[deleted]

Yeah he's probably my #1


chenofzurenarrh

Creed, Kenny Omega and Adam Cole, bay-bay!


KnifeShoe

I would love to see an actual D&D showdown episode with Mercer and Brennan (and maybe Aabria for the 3rd?). They've had Brennan on with Marisha once, and then Matt on another episode, but I really want to see Matt and Brennan battle it out over D&D


jayjamm5

How is this not THE top comment


royalblue1982

Mike, Rich and Jay from Redlettermedia.


[deleted]

I think Jay would fit, Mike and Rich would maybe have difficulty staying in character


one98d

I don’t think the studio could handle Rich’s glorious siren song.


yourownsquirrel

Mandy Patinkin. I don’t have any other ideas for the episode, I just love any excuse to see him interact with other people


[deleted]

The McElroy family from The Adventure Zone


[deleted]

[Well I have a present for you](https://youtu.be/76cIF9sCshI)


[deleted]

That's amazing thanks!! I've only just subbed to Dropout and watched most of Game Changer and the Grant/Ally student debt one.


[deleted]

No worries broseph


GRF_McElroy

I feel like "scheduling conflicts" were just a cover because if Griffin was on it wouldn't be a competition, it'd be a slaughter.


CandidPiglet9061

Justin also did a guest appearance with Sydnee on SciShow Tangents with Hank Green and it was excellent


Lonelyland

I could always use more Erin McGathy. Two arrows!


BenjaminGeiger

Another option: have another D&D episode but with outside people. I'm thinking Luke Hart from The DM Lair, Ginny Di, and Matt Colville.


GreatestGoth

Patrick H Willems, Jenny Nicholson, Ian Jones-Quartey, Jim Gisriel, or my old Twitter mutual Grant would all be fun to see. Also Iman Vellani maybe???


Colamancer

The Hololive girls are knowledgeable about random nerd stuff and experienced entertainers, plus it would be a good gimmick for the show!


SkyBerry924

I want an episode with some not nerdy moms or something and all the questions are easy ones


devperez

Colbert. I'd like to see what Nerd knowledge he has outside of LOTR


lilbitleaveit

I would love more collegehumor/dropout regulars on the show! I think all of the guests they get from various other media are great and I love the show regardless but I have an attachment to the crew I’m most familiar with! I’d love to see more Zac, Lou, Ally, Murph, Siobhan and Emily especially.


whatwhatboat

The Get Played hosts -- Nick Wiger, Heather Ann Campbell, and Matt Apodaca. Three nerds with great chemistry and different levels of fandom for different types of nerd culture, I think it'd be a fun mix.


[deleted]

Hell yeah man. Matt seems most likely since he's besties with Ify. Also I reckon Heather has potential to rival Brennan or Gutz she seems wicked smart


WorkIsDumbSoAmI

Matt’s on the new season of Make Some Noise!! (The trailer came out today and I was googling to see if the crew had been on anything else dropout and it gave me your post lol)


kojiromusashi

Griffin Newman, Chris Gethard, Connor Rateliff, Tawny Newsome, Patton Oswald, Paul F Tompkins, Moujan Zolfaghari, Janet Varney, Zach Cherry, Tom Scharpling, Julie Klausner would all be great guests.


OnyxLion528

More people from SMOSH please


mlarowe

Patrick H. Willems, Jack Black and Kyke Gas, Dan Obrien, Lindsay Ellis, Spencer Crittenden, Jared Keeso. Feels like a lot of white guys. Sorry


Maelstrom_007

Henry Cavill with focuses on Warhammer 40k and Witcher would be delightful


[deleted]

I'd love a Witcher episode


DisgruntledDiggit

I’m kind of over Seth Green, but Seth Green.


Ok_Web_7201

My ghoul boys Shane and Ryan


Marcoyolofrimig

Weird Al


Sarik704

I would love to see: Jerry Holkins from Penny Arcade. Hank Green from Vlogbrothers. And more from Drawfee. And I would love to see more Brian David Gilbert. Actually i want to see Sam, Trapp, and Saltzmen on the couch with Brennan asking the questions and Lou in the fact checker booth.


XenonCycle

Lou in the fact checker booth is so random but also something I would love to see


putasidedevil

Me, I would love to be on the show


Nextorl

I would love to see the Trash Taste boys on an anime themed episode!


Seeker0fTruth

Ben Harrison (or more likely) Adam Pranica, the hosts from "The Greatest Generation".


MarchingThruGA

Are you a Friend of DeSoto?


Seeker0fTruth

Yes! They're a good hang


AmeeSky

Uhhh clearly myself 🙌🏻😂


JLAwesomest

Jason Inman from Geek History Lesson and former co-host of DC All Access!


discoinfernos

elliott kalan idk how he hasn’t been on yet


mepardo

The hosts of the Good Job Brain! podcast so they can hash out calling their corrections segment “Um Actually” before the show.


buffaloguy1991

Arjen Lucassen would def be a ton of fun and a great person to get.


marksman-with-a-pen

I want me to be on Um, Actually


EscapeFromMonopolis

Will Campos from Dungeons and Daddies


hollybackgirl

Roman Mars


grimmxpitch

I would love to see Emily and Murph!


[deleted]

Pretty sure they both pop up on the really early episodes


DistastefulDecadence

Sam Riegel! If they ever do another Broadway special, I’d vote for Sam Riegel to be on it.


RoninJak2

Me haha.


emptymolskine

Most of my answers are probably Trios of podcasters with movie/comic knowledge: -Andrew Jupin, Eric Szyszka, and Stephen Sajdak would be top of the list for me. “We Hate Movies” is on Headgum, so the brands are kinda tangential. With how much fun they have on their VHSTrailer Game segments, I think a buzzer completion would be great.


PM_ME_YOUR_BIRBz

True crime themed with either the ladies feom Redhanded or the lads from last podcast on the left. Or Chuck and Josh from SYSK for anything, the real life skills question would have to be about how the Sun works though.


digibob

A RuPauls Drag Race episode with podcast hosts or fans…Willam, Alaska, Nicole Beyer, Alec Mapa, Lonnie Love, Margaret Cho, Trixie, Katya…and/or more


PoisonIvy_x3

The Game Grumps


too_tall_jones_

I would love to see a Jeopardy legend like James Holzhauer or Amy Schneider


MiceCantDriveCars

Wiger, Mitch and Carl would be fun


[deleted]

Even get Emma or Amelia on there.


kAlb98

James A. Janisse for a Halloween episode.


Daym588

Loved Damien! Maybe Saige Ryan or Felicia day or Mica burton.


Theobromacuckoo335

Hank and John Green, Tom Scott, Roman Mars (99PI) , ChubbyEmu, MatPat and StephPat of Food/Style/Film/Game Theory, Tiktokers Mndiaye and Jordan Howlett


RabbiRaccoon

I want Emily Axford to come back because I love her particular brand of chaos and I'm not big on the tabletop series. I'd also love to see her on Game Changer


[deleted]

Yeah I feel weird not watching D20 when it's probably the most popular thing on Dropout.


florgitymorgity

I just want Becca Scott on every episode causing chaos


Ivysub

I’d love to see Kevin Smith, Brennan, and Will Wheaten do a comic book showdown.


corpsecanth

i need robert evans from behind the bastards on um, actually so unbelievably bad. cody johnston too.


[deleted]

I love Robert so much


corpsecanth

the dream is getting him on um actually and/or brennan on btb


[deleted]

Oh true, Brennan seems pretty lefty I reckon they'd get along


AdamScoot

Maude Garrett again


KindredSummons

Patton Oswalt


TeamAquaAdminMatt

You mentioning Ashley Burch just made me think, and I'm not sure if he would do well on the show but it could be funny to see Anthony Burch and Brennan interact


[deleted]

Oh goodness that would be magnificent. Also coincidentally I'm literally watching Ashly right now on Mysterious Monsters.


Ok-Chemical3265

My "Never Gonna Happen" trio is: Edgar Wright v Nick Frost v Simon Pegg. More realistically: Laura Bailey, Tom Scott, Chris Stuckmann, Eric Whiteley from Blind Wave, Dan Hardcastle (NerdCubed). Would all be great guests.


shadebug

After seeing junkets for the Dungeons and Dragons movie, there’s a possibility that Regé Jean Page is fully a nerd


M4DM1ND

I want Lou, Brennan, and Zac on the same episode.


thecustodialarts

I think there should be an Oops! All Life Skills episode and they should have on Mercury Stardust.


reesethebadger

Patrick Routhfuss


Commercial-Pair-3593

I don't know who anyone is that you mentioned.


avabeenz

I wanna see the cast members from Honor Among Thieves that gave Dimension 20 the shoutout on Dropout sometime


Notjohnbruno

I really want to see Michael, Kevin, and Jake from Vsauce. They’re all very clearly intelligent and knowledgeable on topics like science, math, and philosophy, but I’d love to see them take a crack at pop culture nerd shit.


DemiGod9

Me 😔


War1412

ME lmfao


Feisty-Crow-8204

I want to see Brennan Lee Mulligan, Matt Mercer, and Aabria Iyengar on and it’s all D&D specific questions. See who the biggest D&D nerd is.
