  • Turbo nerds

    Usually when you find someone who’s this level of turbo nerd you’d find them pretending they could do a kamamahameha and saying curse words like they’d get it trouble if their mom heard them say it. These two have somehow subverted the norm and are reasonably well adjusted while being nerdy entertaining. Keep it up!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

236: Ed Zitron Goes Guesto Mode
Q: Is this larger than 2008 in implication?
Ed mentioned that while the current situation could be serious, it's not quite like 2008 due to less direct exposure to regular people.
236: Ed Zitron Goes Guesto Mode
Q: Ed, I got a real quick question just off the top. I need to know this. I've been wondering it for weeks.
Ed stated that he is comfortable discussing any topic, showcasing his readiness and experience in appearing on podcasts.
218: Dono from Radio Free Tote Bag Goes Guesto Mode
Q: Where can people find you and your work if they want it?
You can find me on my podcast, Radio Free Tote Bag, where I talk about dating, relationships, and I also make synth music that you can find on SoundCloud or Bandcamp.
186: Crawfish Comic Goes Guesto Mode
Q: Are you an Anime Sicko?
For the most part, no, with two exceptions. One is Masaaki Yuasa and his movies, and two is Osamu Tezuka. He's given me a horrible disease, and I'm obsessed with his work.
192: Remy Siu Goes Guesto Mode
Q: Are you an Anime Sicko?
Yes. I think it's pretty obvious.
