Nerd Talk+: Nerd Culture, Space, Robots, Comedy and Beyond…

After this guest appearance by friend of the pod and Florida-man, Ceej (@ceejness), we're all getting alligator tramp stamp tattoos! Ceej and I spent a week together goofing off in Orlando waiting for that dumb NASA rocket to take off so it was fun to reconnect while Branden rides his bike into a volcano - can't wait to see his Vader sith-suit!

Spider burps, adorable Gary Larson photosynthesizers, and too much 3PO nips all in one disturbingly action packed Nerd Talk+!

From freezing your body and head to cooking your brain with space lasers, we've once again managed to take interesting subjects and make them ridiculous. But of course you're here so you must know that already... Thanks for all the support, this show is so fun to make!

"Dude, it's not like we're building Terminators" says company definitely building terminators. But hey, at least we're creating nuclear slug monsters, right? Right?! MUGRA!!! Also, sorry i'm so late posting this. 

The chances are high that your mind thinks of the Roman god as quickly as the planet when you hear the word "Neptune." When Gregr hears it, he full on freaks about moons and telescopes and other space crap, so buckle up! A more dangerous way to mow your lawn, the end of an era for a villain more machine than man, and so much Neptune nonsense! And thank you for downloading, we couldn't do it withou...

So much crack talk today but at least you learn how to sniff out a good peach! This week: more fake milk, a war of the worlds, and forget nerds, we're talking Whale Talk!

Space Coast Ghost to Ghost! What a ten days of delays, electric cars, and lots of Florida.

Lots of rocket talk as Gregr joins the show from Orlando waiting between launch windows for the newest and biggest rocket ever built by NASA, the Space Launch System (SLS). Because of the holiday, this was recorded before we knew that the 2nd attempt was scrubbed off making Gregr's trip to Florida a very expensive alligator sight seeing trip...

Now with less minuses! What's the worst animal to have become a zombie? Branden's onto something about wanting it to not be too cute! Is Amazon too - yes. And it's time for robots to do space surgery.

We never thought the robots would start their domination via attacking the children yet here we are on a shameful day! Is dying by being crushed a falling rocket body the best way to go out? We finally (don't) figure out what exactly is licorice.

I'm putting this one up for Dan in Colusa, CA! Also, welcome to August already.

Illness is tearing through the show right now so this is last week's episode - luckily, we forgot to upload last week's episode so it's new-ish! Congrats :D

Gregr and Branden are finally back after a holiday and a long bout of that fancy new covid strain - but don't worry, they get straight into tentacle talk #TentacleTalk and on the internet #TentacleTok. Join us live on the Audacy app every Tuesday morning at 10am pterodactyl daylight time for a new episode!

"Have you ever thought about opposite smells" says a guy who has definitely never smoked weed today... Somehow we get from trash eating worm to Garbage Rex in like two minutes. Plus we'll shoot meat into your mouth and figure out if Digimon is actually Pokemon or not. It's a very heady episode. 

First off, if we could just start by apologizing for all the nipple talk today... specifically when it comes to orangutans... The headline was everywhere but no one really paid much attention to the engineer who got suspended at Google after claiming that created a sentient AI. Also, we spend a lot of time giggling about falling into a tub of chocolate and requiring the jaws of life to escape. Shi...

We go live Tuesdays at 10a PT (pterodactyl time) for a longer look at the nerdy stuff that happens every week. This week it happens to be a lot of talk about pterosaurs. Fun fact: helicopter is actually helix (spiral) and pteron (wing) therefor a helicoptersaurus is a flying football wing. Right.

Welcome to June! Just three more weeks of later and later sunlight before it starts to get sucked away again. Today we're fixing livers and shooting down Starlink!

It's not quite jetpacks, but the future of rescuing people is pretty dang close to it.

Pee eating dolphins, Pepsi pizza, burrito engineerin... wait, what was that about dolphins eating pee?!?

This week's show includes my talk with Neil deGrasse Tyson at the 23 minute mark of the show. Wild week, what a thrill! Thanks as always for your support.

What an epic opportunity to speak with American astrophysicist, planetary scientist, author, podcaster and science communicator, Neil deGrasse Tyson, as he discusses “The Cosmic Perspective" a show he's traveling around the country to present. Neil is every bit as well spoken and charming as you'd expect from a guy who made the Hayden Planetarium cool(er). We talk about cosmic perspective, c...

Today we say goodbye to a piece of kit that completely changed the game for listening to music. RIP sweet sweet click-y wheel.

Our insatiable need for the cool blue light of our screens is going to prove problematic not just for our eyes, but for how we get the stuff to make them. Aaaand come thrifter found an antique bust and paid next to nothing for it - so what's it worth?

This show is the silliest, please don't let this be the first thing you listen to! Also, Gregr is quite sick for this episode so bring on some crappy voice!
