  • G30 61: And there’s the Hufflepuff…

    Alex and JoJo have a crazy weekend! 

    And then can't get it together to record an episode. 

    Inability to function in routine should be noted as the mark of a great weekend. 


    ;) 

    Regardless, the duo celebrate St. Patrick's Day with Smithwicks! 
    (Pronounced Smitticks) 


    https://www.smithwicks.com

    Then talk: 

    It's official, Deadpool is a Hufflepuff!

    Tattoos that can complete circuits:

    And The Bugatti Chiron, a luxury Super Yacht, because why the hell not!?

    Also, this Episode's G30 Question of the week:

  • G30 60: Live from Heroic Aleworks!

    Alex and JoJo take their show on the road to Woodbridge, Virginia where they meet, tour, and talk with Tim and Leon from Heroic Aleworks. 


    Every beer released at Heroic Aleworks has a Superhero or Super Villain back story. Some of their main staples will have an accompanying physical comic book release as well. 

    Geek:30 were fortunate enough to walk through all six of Heroic Aleworks's beers. (Two flights of three beers including accompanying collectible cards!)

    Unfortunately, being a brewery, Tim and Leon had to step away to monitor production. So old friend Neal and new friend Rindi step in to talk news: 

    Virginia i the first state to legalize delivery robots:

    Lego London Store is the first to offer Lego Portraits:

    Deadpool 2 Teaser (Well... More of a short story, really):

    Plus, Episode 60's G30 Question of the Week: 

    If you were a comic book superhero or villain, what would your superpower be?



    -Cheers!

  • G30 Phlegm: Sharing is Caring
    The Geek:30 group is sick.
    Now, I'm not going to point any fingers, Alex...
    But I'm pretty sure it wasn't Finn like you keep suggesting.
    Anyways:
    Slight hiatus (One week)
    It's all Alex's fault for being the carrier. (We know it was you)
    Please send beer!
    ...
    What do you mean "Alcohol negates the antibiotics"!?
    We're gonna die.
    Thanks, Alex.
