Mike kicks this episode off with weaponized jalapeños. Then a little Metatalk about how he puts the show together. Mike talks about moral dilemmas with his kids in their Pathfinder game at the Gaming Table, and the Science Corner is full of Voyager spacecraft, 8-track tapes, and alien first contact. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s the iCloud hack in the Nerd Culture Report, NSA spying works its way into the Roku segment, and of course R2 brings it all home in the Pod-O-Matic. R2 has Mike’s favorite RPG class, tap water vs. bottled, the movie Frozen, yet another look at Mike’s shoe size, old fat actors, lightsabers, and Mike’s favorite starship (hint: it’s Serenity). There’s no need to look anywhere else to fulfill all your nerd podcast listening needs. Tune in now!

Enjoy!

Nerd Pride Radio, Episode 61 – Jalapeños in the Mist

Mike’s doing a lot of ranting in the meticulously plotted portion of the show. Even the Science Corner turns to Nerd Rage at the end. Plus he laments sexism in gaming culture and horrible horrible cell phone commercials in the actual Nerd Rage segment. The show lightens up and revisits Emperor Palpatine in the Right Said Thread bit, and then it’s straight on to the Pod-O-Matic! R2 has everything you ever wanted to know: clown skills, Disney Princesses (again), fish sandwiches, Mike’s favorite D&D world, his favorite orcs, the joys of being old, and more than three more! How does he fit all this nerdacity into only an hour? By making this hour 71 minutes long! That’s more value than you know what to do with!

Enjoy!

Nerd Pride Radio, Episode 60 – Zen and the Art of Snake

Holy blueberries! Mike is talking up a blue streak this time. He waxes poetic about his new Minecraft world. The Science Corner gets all sciency about what happens when you get sucked out of your space station in your pajamas (now with Guardians of the Galaxy spoilers). And then in a brand new segment, Mike spends a good half hour following his train of thought through all things Star Wars. So, you’re saying to yourself: with all that nerdy goodness, there’s no WAY he had room for the Pod-O-Matic… and that’s where you’d be WRONG! R2 is out in full force with listener contributions on Sudoku, Ninja-Barbarians, Carlton from Fresh Prince, Purina Sloth Chow… and so much more! THIS is the Nerd Pride Radio episode you have waited your entire life for. Don’t waste it.

Nerd Pride Radio, Episode 59 – Down the Exogorth Hole

Pathfinder’s Rise of the Runelords is still on Mike’s Gaming Table this week. Then Mike revisits Robin Williams and Marc Maron’s WTF podcast. He rounds out the first half of the show with a Nerd Rage about his evil cable provider. And as always, R2 is there to carry the second half with the Pod-O-Matic. This week R2 has PopRocks vs. Nerds, Mike Jones vs. Mike Jones, 3D movies, the definition of joy, Mike’s IQ, and at least four more! Listen now before you pee your pants in anticipation!

How much does Mike love stuff? Apparently a lot. And he’s willing to babble on about it at length. There’s Pathfinder and transgendered gaming at the Game Table. Mike raves about Guardians of the Galaxy and then finally gives up the long promised Nerd Rage on history. But better than all that: after a one episode absence, R2 makes his triumphant return with a dozen all new Pod-O-Matic entries. Underwater fireballs, Disney princesses, werewolves, Aquaman, fire ants, staple-less staplers, and so much more! This is the episode you’ve all been waiting for!

This week: Pathfinder/D&D min-maxing on the Gaming Table; putting Miley Cyrus into orbit in the Science Corner; and crabbing about the new Amazing Spiderman’s post-credits scene. Mike’s plate is so full he has to put off his RAGE one more week. But then R2 rolls out with an awesome Pod-O-Matic list with over 80 new entries.

Nerd Pride Radio, Episode 54 – Miley Cyrus Gets High

Mike just won’t shut up! First a little listener feedback, followed by Mike’s Gaming Table where he talks about putting his own advice to work for him. Then all the stuff Mike’s watching on streaming in his ROKU segment, plus his love-hate relationship with product placement. And speaking of love-hate, Mike talks about the Ender’s Game movie and Dan Harmon in his Nerd Culture Report and tops off the meticulously plotted portion with his undying love for a folded piece of paper: The PocketMod. In the second half of the show, R2 dishes on Frozen, Tempest, cell phone games, lying teachers, and He-Man vs. Thundarr in the Nerd Pride cage match! Plus other neat stuff! Can you believe it?
