Nerd Lunch Episode 81: Replace Me

Posted in podcast with tags , , on April 16, 2013 by Paxton

Nerd Lunch Podcast

Episode 81 of the Nerd Lunch podcast features the return of one of my favorite guests, Kristin Rielly of Reilly Geek fame. She joins us to discuss replacements for ourselves.

Replace Me

Carlin gives us several social situations and we are supposed to choose a real person, a fictional person or a Muppet to replace us. What Muppets will show up at an office Christmas party? What deceased former Presidents will attend family reunions and/or a 5 year old’s birthday party? And yes, we have to deal with the repercussions of our decisions. Nerd To Dos involve Superman IV, Downton Abbey and selling off comics.

Nerd Lunch Podcast

Only 21 episodes to go before we hit the big 100. This week we are joined again by the always awesome Mark Dury, the unofficial fifth Atomic Geek.  We brought Mark in to finally discuss a subject that I am frankly shocked we haven’t really discussed yet.  We get nerdy and drill down on one of the Geek Sci-Fi Holy Grails, Joss Whedon’s Firefly.

We talk about our own experiences with the show. We see if any of us saw the very short Fox run or if we saw the movie. We even discuss if we would like to see Firefly return in some form or another. It’s all pretty geeky. Come check it out.

Nerd Lunch Podcast

Welcome to episode 78.  In this episode we finally try to tie up all the loose ends of the Aaron-Pax rivalry and we also try to have a podcast. Aaron Nix of Movie Hodge Podge finally gets to live out his dream of sitting in the Nerd Lunch Fourth Chair and he is there to discuss real life people living out pop culture scenarios.

We talk about what real life NFL star do we think would rise up and defend Earth against Ming the Merciless. We talk about what US President would climb into the cockpit of a fighter jet to fight in an alien invasion of Earth. And we discuss what current music group we think is actually a front for the criminal terrorist organization, Cobra. It’s a fun packed episode so join us for the discussion, won’t you?

So, for episode 76 of Nerd Lunch we return to what the TAG Network calls a “3 Way Dance”. It’s just Carlin, Jeeg and I and we start talking about sports. You heard me right, SPORTS.

We discuss our thoughts on watching sports, we talk about our own personal experiences playing sports and then we talk about some of our favorite sports movies. It’s a fun discussion in which we discuss a topic that seems the opposite of what this podcast is about.

This week we are joined by Jasmin from the awesome food blog, One Fine Cookie.

The goal? To cater a nerdy yet tasteful get-together for the Nerd Lunch crew and their closest friends.  Imagine tasty yet geeky dishes with awesomely dorky names.  It’s all in here.  If it sounds like I’m being vague, I am because, unfortunately, I was unable to join the fellas for this episode.  But I am told it is EPIC.  So bake yourself some Wookie Cookies, crack open a can of Yoda Soda and listen to CT, Jeeg and Jasmin make preparations for a Nerd Lunch party.
