In this episode, Mike has found his Nerd of the Year: 17 year old Angela Zhang who can outnerd any one of you! Plus the greatest Christmas carol ever, and Mike rages pointlessly over his wealth of gadgets. After music from the Beastie Boys, R2 delivers hard on the Pod-O-Matic: it brings up Fred Hicks and Chris Hardwick, there’s a height check on gnolls, some 13th Warrior and Time Cop, and Mike’s favorite moment from the game Paranoia. And with all of that, Mike is still outnerded by Angela Zhang.
Enjoy!

The Angela Zhang story is awesome. Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks. Is she not the coolest? I love knowing that people like her exist.
Absolutely. Makes you wonder what kids would / could accomplish if we encouraged their passions and got out of their way.
