Nerd Lunch Episode #9: The Replicators are Broken

Nerd Lunch Podcast

There is a new episode of the Nerd Lunch podcast available for your immense enjoyment.  You’re welcome, Internet.

This week we are joined by Jay from The Sexy Armpit the awesome pop culture blog about all things New Jersey.

Our subject?  We are all traveling into space in Jay’s spaceship.  We are sucked into a wormhole and when we come out the other side, we are trapped in an unknown part of space, and all of our equipment is broken.  Jeeg is able to fix the food replicators but he can only get it to replicate 10 food/drink items.  Amongst the four of us, we have to agree on those 10 food and drink items that we want the replicator to reproduce.

It’s a whirlwind of filibustering to get all of our favorite items in there.  At one point we find out the same guy that doesn’t like Halloween also hates Cheetos.  And I have to wonder what kind of childhood did this person have that led to a dislike of Halloween and Cheetos?  And how is this person not a serial killer.  Am I right?

Anyway, come check out the craziness of Episode 9 of the Nerd Lunch Podcast. Download it from iTunes or listen to it on Feedburner.

UPDATE:

We actually talked about my Skype profile pic in this episode. For those listening, this is what it looks like.

Like I said, this picture is a normal Saturday for me.

A lot of the stuff we talk about this week is very visual in nature.  I wanted to give some notes to the podcast with images so you can see what I’m talking about in the episode.

Here are some of the things I talked about wanting to put in my Nerd Inner Sanctum.

SW SpEd Trilogy Ingot Poster(Via theforce.net)
Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition “Ingot” Teaser Poster (1996) – I actually have this poster currently hanging up in my house.

SW Trilogy
Star Wars Trilogy Promotional Poster (1990 VHS release) – I love the combination of the three Star Wars poster art for this. In the middle is the famous Star Wars Style A art by Jung. On the left is the Empire Strikes Back Style A art. On the right is the Return of the Jedi Style B art. It was used on a VHS trilogy set in 1990.

Star Wars Trilogy British Quad (1983) – Expensive, but worth it.
