In our final Very Special Episode, we join Teddy and the Bassman once again for a grand two-parter. This time, we play a couple more standard games. In our episode, hear us try to outwit the great sayings of the ages in Wise and Otherwise, then listen to T&tB's half where we play everyone's favorite awful game: Cards Against Humanity.
When there are tigers on the hill...

The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 41: Getting to Know You
Thursday Apr 21, 2016
Thursday Apr 21, 2016
We're more than 40 episodes in and we realized that even though we have shared a bunch of stuff about ourselves with you guys, you don't really KNOW us. Let's fix that! Come get to know us! Carissa issues a challenge to the listeners - that's you - to answer some or all of our Getting to Know You questions and email them to us.
Also, this week we're priming the pump for the upcoming Podcast Awards! Click the link or visit www.podcastawards.com to nominate Lucky 10,000 in the Games and Hobbies category and also for a People's Choice Award.
We would love to win an award for you guys, so vote early, vote often! (Or at least early, since you can only vote once and nominations close April 30.)

Wednesday Apr 13, 2016
Wednesday Apr 13, 2016
Recorded live from the Steampunk Library, we proudly present Part Two of our collaboration with fellow Bearded Pods cast Teddy and the Bassman. Evan and Carissa play some fun games and wax philosophical with the whimsical pair, celebrating the chance to record together in one physical location.
To hear the other half of the evening's festivities (namely: the Room 101 Game), you will want to listen to Teddy and the Bassman's latest episode, found here.

The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 35: Tales From Across the Pond
Wednesday Mar 02, 2016
Wednesday Mar 02, 2016
We are right chuffed to be joined this week by the Bearded Pods' very own Trevor Furlong, formerly of Scotland Yard and present acclaimed bassman of Teddy and the Bassman. In the first of what will hopefully be several appearances, our guest shares his experiences as a stranger in a not-terribly-as-strange-as-you'd-think land. Our talk ranges far and wide, touching Cockney rhyming slang, immigration culture shock and the lack thereof, imported television, subtle differences in humor, and more. Anglophiles like Carissa will not want to miss this episode.
After you finish here be sure to check out Trevor and Teddy's podcast, Teddy and the Bassman, another fine production found on the Bearded Pods Network.

Wednesday Jan 13, 2016
Wednesday Jan 13, 2016
This week we bring on very special guest Jason from our brother podcast The Bearded Ones to talk about the long-standing classic, Saturday Night Live. We cover cast changes, ads and shorts, what worked, what bombed, our favorite and least favorite things about it, and basically everything that has given this American standard its pride of place in pop culture.

The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 27: Shootin' the Shit
Wednesday Jan 06, 2016
Wednesday Jan 06, 2016
We don't do it often, but to kick off the new year we wanted to just kind of talk to each other about 'stuff'. Carissa announces her resolution and waxes poetic about the touching effect of Bob Ross on Twitch chatters, while Evan reflects on Red Dead Redemption and the things we love despite all contrary public opinion. Hollywood gets a nice reaming for its neoconservative values and alien view of the real world. Just for the hell of it, we talk limericks and anti-limericks, and would like to invite our beloved listeners to send us their favorite dirty limericks.

The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 21: Nostalgia
Wednesday Nov 18, 2015
Wednesday Nov 18, 2015
It's maybe a little cliché, but come along with us as we reminisce about the music, movies, television, and books which influenced us and left the most lasting impressions. Evan and Carissa discuss the pop culture that shaped them - and probably a bunch of you, too - and along the way remember things they had long since forgotten.
Not "only 80s kids will understand", but it might help a little bit. So join us, and perhaps we can remind you of some stuff you loved and lost. Of course we would love to hear from you about any of the cultural influences which left their mark, regardless when your "back in the day" was. Email or tweet us your childhood faves!

The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 14: Stand-up and Improv
Wednesday Sep 23, 2015
Wednesday Sep 23, 2015
This week we get serious about comedy.
Carissa is an unabashed stand-up comedy nerd, despite (as she claims) not being funny herself. Both our hosts have a history in improv, though Evan is the only one still actively involved in an improv troupe. Together, we possess both a wealth of information and an overabundance of admiration for stand up comedy. In what turned out to be our longest episode yet, we go from court jesters to Lewis Black, Gallagher to Dane Cook, Bob Hope to Chad Daniels, Monty Python to Brian Regan, and much - SO MUCH - more.
If Carissa's nearly 10-day comedy playlist is anything to go by, there is bound to be something you don't know about stand-up or someone you haven't heard of yet. Listen in to find out who/what that is, and get serious about the funny.
If you think you know a comedian Carissa hasn't heard, or if you need a suggestion for a new comedian to listen to, please email us at luckytenthousand@gmail.com or hit us up on Twitter @Lucky_10k.
