Mike opens with the greatest astronomer to ever lose his nose in a duel, followed by the most awesome toy of the year. Mike introduces The MaryAnn Effect and havers on at length about his ROKU! Plus Jabba the Truck, Casa de mi Padre, and the Whitney Houston time machine. But that’s not all! On the Pod-O-Matic, find out what one listener has done with Joss Whedon’s head, what exactly Number Two’s duty is, as well as the winner of the ultimate nerd showdown: Pan vs. Rabbit (plus Polly Pocket takes on Rainbow Bright in the bonus warmup match)! So tell me… do you think you’re nerd enough?

Enjoy!
