Space Nerds

Jesse is joined by Jason, Ken and Matty from Dead Drift, a SciFi comedy webseries about the uptight captain of a decrepit ship and his bumbling mechanic traversing the galaxy. They discuss the inception, writing, production and inspiration behind their show.

Jesse and Sarah discuss the intricacies of relationships, the constant challenges of human interaction, and how those themes will tie into Jesse’s new SciFi comedy webseries.

Sarah has been obsessed with the X-Files for decades, and wants you to believe that the truth is out there. She guides Jesse through a discussion of season 10, explaining what casual viewers need to know to appreciate the brand new episodes. Jesse recounts his recent Star Trek adventures: emcee’ing the opening party for the Exploring New Worlds exhibit at EMP, and participating in a Smithsonian channel documentary for the Star Trek 50th anniversary.

Jesse discovers a new focus for the show before diving into a myriad of topics with Sarah Lehman including Andes Mints and the many possibilities of the universe. Jesse plays Cosmic Child on drum machine and harmonium.

It’s a special Mother’s Day episode of SciFi! Jesse says thank you to his amazing mom Susan for always supporting and nurturing his creativity. She raised a weirdo, and we’re all grateful. Also included is a new work in progress of Lightspeed, and the continuation of Jesse’s conversation with the wonderful Brooks Peck and Amie Simon from the EMP.

Amie Simon and Brooks Peck from Seattle’s EMP Museum share some tantalizing secrets from their upcoming Star Trek exhibit, and discuss the impact of the franchise on our culture. Jesse shares a song about galavanting through the galaxy with Geordi and Data.

This week it’s all about genitals, as Jesse shares his experiences with testicular cancer and trying not to get an erection during his recent sonogram. Pete GeeKay proves he is an excellent sport.

Pete GeeKay returns to discuss hoverboards! In a discussion full of 80s nostalgia and cupcakes, Jesse and Pete dissect the proliferation of devices claiming to be hoverboards to determine if the future has been made manifest or if we’re living inside a giant marketing ploy.
