Nerd Pride Radio

Hello everyone! I'm new here, but Mike asked me come by and serve as the new advice columnist for Nerd Pride Radio. Mike and I are old friends (more than he even knows) and I thought, "That sounds great! What else do I have going on right now?" So here I am.

A little bit about me. My name is Phil Connors. I'm currently single, but have been married once before. No kids, but I've had "foster kids" that I've essentially raised as my own flesh and blood. Professionally speaking, I have a background in journalism and meteorology. I've kicked around local stations, mostly in the Northeast, serving as a weatherman-- first mornings, then featured evenings (I won't bore you with the details of local news office politics). I've also dabbled in on-camera reporting at various stations.

I guess the reason Mike thought I'd be good as an advice columnist is that I'm kind of a jack-of-all-trades. You name it, I've probably done it at some point in my life. Pianist? Check. Professional chef? Check. Fluent in Esperanto? Check (and many other languages that aren't dead). Relationships? Check- both long term and... less committal. Jeopardy champion? Not officially, but unofficially? Check. In short, I have a lot of life experience and bring a lot to the table when it comes to advice.

So have at it! What questions do you have for me? What can Phil Connors help you with?

What should I do when I want someone to stop telling me about a pick-em contest?

Is it ethical to seduce someone while you're stuck in a time loop of which they are unaware?

I'm a fan of the film Heidi, but I had never heard of the film Heidi 2 until I saw that it was playing at the Alpine. Is it a sequel to the Shirley Temple film? Can you give me a plot summary?

Someone killed my dog. What should I do?

What should I do when I want someone to stop trying to tell me a Knock Knock joke I don't want to hear?

Hey Phil, long time listener first time caller, I feel like my body is going through changes that are scary and hard to understand. Any advice?

Hey Phil - thinking about getting a place in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania with my fiancee. Do you have any thoughts on living in the area? If so, any idea on whether we should rent or buy? Thanks.

What do you do with if you’re stuck in an infinite time loop, and keep repeating the same damn day, over and over again?
