Hey Nerd!

Though this show forays into many different topics of conversation, it is - at its core - two friends hanging out. So this week, the nerds are peeling back the thin veneer of a central idea and revealing the true nature of this podcast: an increasingly tangential conversation between two people who, like, really like each other, or something. Join us as we literally just hang out on a Skype call and be nice to each other. Eli saves every LOTR meme Care sends them, Care gets a little serotonin boost whenever she sees Eli adjusting their glasses, and both are total nerds.

Robin has Batman, Spiderman has Iron Man, and Eli has...their dad. That’s right, this week professional space doctor and father nerd Christopher is joining the podcast for an episode all about superheroes! Eli’s dad is a die-hard Spiderman stan, Care has seen most of CW’s Batwoman, Eli feels an indescribable amount about Nightwing, and all three are total nerds.

That’s right, after the smash-hit success of last summer’s Auguest, the nerds are once again relying on their friends to add some much-needed star power to the pod. This week, it’s the duo’s good good friend, Ylliana, here to help craft a podcast within a podcast: a counseling program for the contemporary epoch, that is absolutely not derivative of the cornerstone of any podcast empire in any way, shape or form. The nerds are not professionals, and their counselling should never be listened to. Ylliana says they’re a sexologist, but if there’s a license in their room, they’ve never showed me. Oh, and this program isn’t for minors, which I say only so Eli knows how cool they are for being on it. What’s up, you chill minor?

At this point, the nerds have a good deal of experience with podcasting; in fact, if each episode were a level, they’d be maxed out by now! This week, the nerds check back in on the first topic they ever covered - the plot hook of the podcast, if you will. That’s right: it’s another D&D episode. Care now has +1 to her DMing ability, Eli is slowly learning how to play caster classes, and both are total nerds.

Streaming services have exploded over the past few years, but one sits far above the rest because of its cost...the low, low price of nothing. That’s right, this week the nerds are talking about the endless pit of video content - YouTube! Eli routinely forgets about this podcast’s channel, Care has both Dan and Phil books, and both are total nerds.

The nerds may not have been on this Earth for a long time, but the community they both belong to sure has: the Queer community! This week, the nerds share their favorite figures, anecdotes, and general trivia from a group of people often misunderstood as a product of modern pop culture. We’re here, we’re queer, and neither of these things are new developments. Care has one dude in all of human history she’d consider marrying, Eli has gone so far down this rabbit hole they practically live there, and both are total nerds.

The nerds return to a media genre close to both their hearts - close enough, in fact, that it’s worked its way into several other episodes. From soft horror to Star Wars, this podcast can’t stop talking about animated shows, so this week centers around the series the nerds love the most! Eli’s seen every episode of Phineas and Ferb at least three times, Care’s watched more Gravity Falls in a single weekend than she'd care to admit, and both are total nerds.

While certain Harry Potter creators are busy being dusty and transphobic, the nerds take the time this episode to honor their magically unproblematic fandom faves: Team Starkid and their sister troupe (brother troupe?), the Tin Can Bros! From Batman to Bandit Kings, the Stone Age to Star Wars, we’re talking about everything that makes Starkid absolutely out of this world. Caroline’s already used up her Starkid trivia on episode 11, Eli understands Paul from The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals on a spiritual level, and both are total nerds.

The world’s divided, in turmoil, and desperately needs a savior. No, we’re not talking about 2020, but the beloved 2005 cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender. Eli definitely remembers the plot of this show, Caroline has a deep affinity with Sokka of the Southern Water Tribe, and both are total nerds.

Ep 14: A Perfectly Wonderful Episode

Oh, man, those current events really are… happening, huh? In an attempt to regain some semblance of sanity, the nerds are taking after Griffin and Rachel McElroy’s podcast, Wonderful!, and talking about the things in life that bring them joy. Care’s blessed and de-stressed, Eli’s vibing their way through the world, and both are total nerds.
