The Nerdologues

iO creative director Alex Honnet stops by this week to chat about a myriad of topics with our trinity of games podcasters.

This week, we welcome back Arcade Brewery and other friends for more stories about beginnings! 

I had never heard the 2004 World Series Champion Boston Red Sox referred to as The Idiots until right before recording with Sean, but after the chat, I can certainly say the name is fitting. A term of endearment for a bunch of lovable weirdos who somehow managed a series of miraculous occurrences after 80+ years of the Curse of the Bambino, the Idiots are surely worth chatting about as they were probably the most unlikely candidates to break the curse that had been in place since the Sox traded Babe Ruth to the Yankees.

This episode, bros Tim, Clayton, and Kellen chat about maintaining their love of gaming while maintaining a healthy relationship. Get ready... TO HAVE FEELINGS. 

Oh Trin, you beautiful tropical fish. You’re smart as a whip, and you’re cool under pressure. You cunning, pliable, chestnut-haired sunfish. You poetic, noble land-mermaid. Thank you for joining [read: enabling] me to talk about Parks and Recreation in front of an audience of friends, past guests, and fellow contributors to this incredible live celebration of the first 100 episodes of MBSing.

This week, Tim, Clayton, and Kellen discuss the legacy of Konami, specifically mainstay Hideo Kojima. 

Chicago craft beer purveyor Arcade Brewery joins us for a month of stories relating to the theme of "Press Start."

The appropriately named Rachel Farmer lights up and chats with me on the porch about life below the Mason-Dixon Line. After spending most of her life in LA (Lower Alabama) and the past nine years in Chicago, she's recently relocated back to Mobile. We talk about all the ways family, Chik-fil-a, church, and life in general have gotten more complicated since our simpler Southern days.

This week, our prodigal Second City Sailor returns as Clayton and Kellen welcome show co-creator Tim Dunn back into the fold!
