Out of curiosity on how his family other than Paul looked, I came across the video of Katie (Dan's sister) doing the Milk Challenge. That is all.

8 MINUTES IN... and they have talked about strip clubs, cumming in the pants, power outages, and Adam Corrolla. This sure is a Ryckoning.

It seems that "zaftig" comes from our German "saftig", which means juicy for what it's worth.
Although I think folks here would use that more to describe a steak than a woman.
Maybe @danryckert should join @drewbert on some of his language lessons.

Since it seemed to be important life advice, here is the German version of "twirling the pubic hair" to get you started:

Die Schamhaare zwirbeln

You are welcome!

I thought they were going to Ireland to hang out with Danny? Didn't Dan drag Danny to Knsas last year?

Probably Dan's sister. Dan has talked about how she got a Skyrim tattoo before the game even came out :P

"Saftig" means the exact same thing here in Norway. But I'm sure it's us being influenced by you guys. "Zaftig" in English is a word I'd never heard before either.

For as much as Dan thinks san francisco is so "wacky" the dynamics at play in this podcast are like 10x wackier (in a good way)

Bianca busting Dan's balls about "tour" is great. Wonder how often she gives him shit for his special way of saying Because

In fact, I was not sure until I looked it up myself. At first I thought that they were talking about a variation on "zünftig" which is more common in southern Germany.

Just arrived at mom talk and really enjoy this, glad we get it again this year and I will also say that Dan's girlfriend is doing a wonderful job of keeping him in line if the first 15 minutes are any indication.

@danryckert I find it hilarious when you are talking about how Drew is so zen and always think about what he say. Because you were the only one to ever made him lose it, in the middle of Mario Part Party 3 where you caused him to scream 'Shut up, just shut up!' at you. :P

Completely agree with Dan on the absurdity of game journalists whining and complaining about going and working at E3. Ironically almost all of his coworkers lament it every year.

Hahaha "Wait, Jeff hated something?!" - On point.

Dan on trying to convince Paul of anything: You're all, "No one uses Chrome, just use Internet Explorer like a normal person", I'm much more open minded.

Dan on the topic of eggs: "No one eats eggs sunny side up, just eat scrambled eggs like a normal person"

Like father, like son. :D

ETA: dammit, now they're all saying nice stuff about Drew and Jeff and Danny and it's SO SWEET, UGH.

@dougfunk15: I mean, they lament the grind of it but always say they enjoy it overall. Brad has also said that he much enjoy how they're doing it now as opposed to running on the floor all day. Dan has been on record before saying that that part of it can be not very fun, but that E3 overall is one of his favourite things. I think they're always clear on the fact that they enjoy it, but that the workload can be daunting.
