The Nerdologues

This week, we're taking a brief break from your stories (but not Your Stories) to give you some comedy, Nerdologues style! Here's part of our latest sketch show, recorded at UCB Franklin last Thursday!

Choo Choo! Mike and Spencer hop aboard some famous trains and give you the scoop and CHOO(p) of what it’s like to ride them! (Coming to you at 700mph!) Produced by: Spencer Campbell & Mike Rieman

Turning 16's already a cultural milestone, but what happens when you add a taboo mix tape to it? 

Aisha knows what she likes, and what she likes is a good crime show. She wants there to be a self-contained story arc of whodunit, who found em, and what their fate is, and she'll check out pretty much anything your auntie watches on TV as a result. Law and Order (Original Recipe), Criminal Minds, NCIS, and even the new Elementary (which she marks as a better actual procedural than Sherlock in spite of her deep love of Benedict Cumberbatch) all make her watch list, and it's a blast to hear her break them down.

On this week's Very Special Episode, host Tim and his SO Lisa dive into the game that's become their current obsession, Stardew Valley (they're even playing it while they record this episode!!). 

After an extended winter break we are back! The gents slam the fans for denying Westbrook a starting spot in the NBA All-Star game, provide 3/4ths of a Super Bowl preview (considering how much Brady played this season), and finally answer the question... is Rodgers a top 3 QB of all time!?!?  All that and a very timely Ronda Rousey joke!

As 2017 continues its march (or at least its January), here we are with another batch of reflections on the theme Resolution. 

Grab your chopsticks as Mike and Spencer take you to the delicious past of sushi, with the party game Sushi Go! (Spencer wrote this one…) Produced by: Spencer Campbell & Mike Rieman

This week, the Talking Games farewell tour continues with the return of one of our classic features -- Talking Musicals! Tim, Clayton, and Kellen dissect the recent hit LA LA LAND and dive into the crushing defeat of trying to do anything creative. Fun!
