Nerd Hurdles

There’s nothing like a wedding to bring out the obsessive compulsive disorder in a person. The most devout Star Trek nerd doesn’t hold a candle to the average bridezilla when it comes to nit-picking details. Imagine if the two combined. A bridezilla at the helm of a Trek themed wedding might cause a rift in space/time continuum. Jakob and Mandi discuss the various nerd hurdles surround the happiest day of your life.

WoW! People get really obsessed with video games. Sometimes they even die for their obsession. Some people rock out with toy guitars, some people make coloured blocks fit together, and some make racial stereotypes hop over turtles. The thing all these people have in common is they’re NERDS.  Jakob and Mandi play with the topic of video games and mow the grass of a drugs podcast called Hooked.

Jakob and Mandi scratch the surface of musical nerd hurdles (good thing it’s a podcast and not a CD!). They cover musicals and comedic singers mostly. They don’t even mention prog and spacerock so there might have to be sophomore effort.

David freaking Lynch. Not for everyone. Jakob and Mandi love him so much they made a Twin Peaks cake. You can see the results of their “casting game” at The Hurdled Nerd Blog. If you don’t understand David Lynch is a whole other level of awesome, you should tell them why at the Nerd Hurdles forum.

Jakob and Mandi aren’t starfuckers. But they are fascinated by people who are. Also what is the difference between fame and infamy, really? Full show notes at: nerdhurdles.wordpress.com

Jakob would like to apologize for being hungover. He was abducted by a booze pusher named Mandi. He gruffly slurs his way through an episode on The X Files. The truth is in this podcast. Even if they neglect to mention nerd heroes The Lone Gunmen.

Running of the Dykes is a prideful annual event in Toronto and Jakob and Mandi went and watched them. Then they got drunk at the beer garden and podcasted about Pride in general.
