June 26, 2014Words With Nerds: That Magic Moment
We are back and this time with another new gluten-free episode to fill your ear holes. This week, we ponder why it is cool to hate things, and does getting older lose the magic of summer. But it doesn't stop there. We also discuss:
Did Eddie Murphy elevate the funny from people around him
How does John wake up in the morning with only 2 pools conveniently located in his neighborhood
We sample Monk's Cafe Flemish Sour Ale
Do people like to be contrarians?
Has the internet made it impossible to be a casual fan or be a fan that is "late to the game"
That magic moment in movies that you know if you are going to stick with it or if you are going to tune out
This show is guaranteed to make your week better. As always you can interact with the show by leaving a voicemail at 571-308-NERD or find John on twitter: @kesseljunkie or find Craig on twitter: @craigsorrell. We are also on Facebook, so feel free to post on our wall.

June 12, 2014Ra's al Craig
In this monumental episode, John divulges that he's figured out who Craig is in his mythical pantheon of metaphors for friends!
Aside from that, they deliver some true insight and expand your horizons.There's:
Tasting the beer Weyerbach Blasphemy, a Belgian Quadruppel;
The question of: Why don't we ever see superheroes training (besides Batman, of course)?
The Last Will and Testament of Words With Nerds - in case anything happens to one or both of us during the Tough Mudder;
Nerd News
E3, blah blah blah;
Soccer = Blurnsball;
Rob Liefeld - speculation about Spider Man films and Tom Hardy as Cable (swoon!);
Pondering if Wolverine and Captain America can ever get high;
Wondering if Whoopi Goldberg would still smell in the spirit realm;
Musing if midichlorians are intergalactic tapeworms; and finally
We figure out how to torture Magneto! (You're welcome Marvel!)
And since this could be the last living episode for your hosts, they both get to Nerd Rage.
With this much entertainment, we wonder why the country still needs to do any soul-searching.

June 05, 2014 Sentinels Just Want Hugs
If a cyclist passes a runner on a path, and there's no one else around to see it, should the runner build an army of Sentinels to destroy the cyclist?
Questions like that aren't even entertained on this episode. Instead, your hosts focus on guilty displeasures - things they know they're "supposed to like" as nerds, or even just in general...but they don't. What sorts of things do they cover? Everything from certain comics to desserts that don't deliver.
They also manage to talk about the underwhelming feeling of seeing half-constructed things from the Episode VII set, X-Men: Days of Future Past and in Nerd News they lavish some love on WWDC and beat up on the Apple fan-boys (figuratively).
And in Nerd Rage for this week, John unleashes all over his fellow Star Wars fans for their ridiculous hijacking of a poll for Empire magazine. You know, the one that set everyone off for what a bunch of dopes nerds can be and solidified stereotypes about their inability to see past their own fandom.
With this much energy, you could power an entire army of genocidal robots!

War! Is John crumbling under attacks by the ruthless Question Master Lord, Count Craig? They are heroes to both their sides. Evil is everywhere.
In a stunning move, the fiendish questioner, Craig Sorrell, has swept into the John's recording room and kidnapped his beer, the only thing keeping him from going all Order 66.
As John attempts to answer Craig's questions with his valuable knowledge, the audience flocks to download the latest episode...
...In other words, strap yourselves in, this one takes it to the limit!
Just wait until you hear the Special Edition of this one!
