Old Nerds Drinking

Well thanks to really nice weather and scheduling conflicts it finally happened.  I couldn't get anyone in the studio to record with me for a Friday.  Join me as I dig into the edit studio floor and dig up some of the side conversations and rants that didn't make it into their original Issues.  It's our very first "Best of" episode, but not really because if it was the best stuff it would have stayed in the episode so lets just call it what it is, "The Rants You Missed."

In this brand new issue we taste test some Del Taco, we play Weed Strain or Kentucky Derby Race Horse, and then talk about the Amazon Prime show Invincible based on the comic book of the same name.

Straight out of the OND home base in the Nerd Cave, we are back on our new release day.  In this issue Roejen and I test out some off the wall pops, discuss the time Pepsi had the sixth largest navy on earth, and then ramble on about what we are watching lately.  But wait, THERE'S MORE!  As a special added bonus audio after the "End of Line" you will get to hear a description of a horror movie act so gruesome even Roe peaced out.  Enjoy.

This week is a double Old Nerd Drinking first, it is our first episode recorded with our new remote gear and our first episode recorded 100% sober.  This episode we are talking to my good friend Ian Pietila, the proprietor of Golden Rhino Games and a staple of the Michigan Wargaming scene.  We go into the realities of opening a game store in the middle of a global pandemic, the wargaming hobby and Warhammer 40k.  So strap in for some deep nerding.

After a brief hiatus and quarantine Rojen is back in the studio with us for lucky issue thirteen.  This week we drink a memorial toast to a Detroit Podcasting Legend, we talk about the gentlemanly pursuit of collecting junk, and we break tradition and dive into a full spoiler review of the latest episode of Falcon and the Winter Soldier. 

This week we have another crossover episode with those guys Jake and Tom.  We check in with Roejen who is currently fighting the Rona and then we recap the first Disney+ Marvel series WandaVision.

Fresh off the street it is Issue No. 011 of Old Nerds Drinking.  In this issue I welcome guest host and fellow podcaster Dave the Nerd of Dave's Nerd Compendium to talk about some hot news about the Role Playing Game industry that hit the feeds last week.  We also reminisce about our High School Role Playing Club (from the before time, in the long long ago) and close out with some fresh Jazz music from the teacher that sponsored it.  Please check out Carl Poposki and his album Walkabout on Spotify.

Join us for a quick, thanks to the magic of editing, trip down memory lane as one of the internets earliest viral memes turns 20.  We also discuss the House Economic Committee's hearings about the Game Stop fiasco and discuss a mysterious TV paradox.

Delayed a few days due to technical difficulties Issue No.9 hits the streets featuring a truly titanic battle between the Titans of Wallstreet vs the Apes of Reddit.  We also discuss Japan's possible legal challenges to the world of Cosplay and what the repercussions of that could be for the rest of the world as well as Sea Shanties taking the internet by storm.

After a little bit of a holiday hiatus we are back and at it again.  Roe and I catch up on what we have been up to, discuss some miniature games I have discovered, a little bit of cyberpunk, Wanda Vision, and a little bit of history about the deadliest sniper in history.  Sadly due to time constraints we had to sacrifice another twenty minute side conversation about Star Wars but it was mostly rehashing old ground so I don't think it was a tragic loss.   This was also our first attempt to record without Roe and I in the same room and there were some serious audio issues.  I had to work a lot of magic to make it passable but you may hear some points where we go from talking normal to where it sounds much louder because of digital amplification.  I hope you enjoy this and we should be back on schedule next issue.
