  • Episode 41 – Proofreading Boners

    It has been a while since the three of us have explored our geeky boners!  Molly gets excited about proofreading in ways that will make no sense to people who don’t care about grammar.  Nick runs through a large number of movies that he is looking forward to this year.  Tim talks about all the tabletop games he’s been playing lately, including games produced by Molly’s company and Lords of Waterdeep, which was mentioned by Brienne Bilyeu back in Episode 24.  Also, For the first time in a while, a listener (Josh Helton) gets a crack at our five questions.

  • Upcoming Episodes

    We had a great weekend attending talks and recording at Skep-Tech!  We have several episodes coming up from that event as well as lots of other good stuff.  Looking for more specifics?  Here you go!

    April 9th – Skep-Tech 2013 Panel

    We were invited to host a panel at Skep-Tech 2013 featuring Greta Christina, Tim Farley, Chelsea du Fresne and Zach Weinersmith.  We did our best to stay quiet and let our all star panel say interesting things.  You can be the judge of whether or not we succeeded.

    April 16th – Proofreading Boners

    Our April Geeky Boner episode will feature geeking about movies, proofreading and a whole lot of talk about tabletop gaming.

    April 23rd – Zach Weinersmith

    Another podcast recorded live at Skep-Tech, we had the opportunity to sit down with Zach of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.  We talked about censorship for a while and he answers our five questions.  We also tried to get some insight into the mysterious “gay agenda.”  The results of that exploration were less than satisfying.

    April 30th – Live at Omegacon Spring

    We don’t exactly know what we’ll be recording or who we’ll be recording with but we’re going to sit down at the convention and record a podcast!  A couple of days later (while we’re still hung over), we’ll post it!


  • Episode 31 – Oscar Boners

    This week, we start by geeking out over the latest Star Wars news for a while.  Then Molly tells us about a comic title that has been holding her interest recently.  Then Tim gets started talking about the Oscars and we spend a very long time talking about Oscar movies, Oscar actors and Oscar hosts.  We talk about the Oscars for a really long time.  Oscar Oscar Oscar!  We get all sorts of stuff wrong so see the show notes for fact checks! Tim also brings up a moment in Lincoln that bothered him. Then we read Christian Fredrickson’s answers to our five questions.

  • Episode 23 – Beverly Hills Boners

    Our December Geeky Boner episode includes conversations about Butt-Numb-a-Thon, cleaning and Molly’s secret shame.  A secret so embarrassing, it is almost worse than the embarrassing thing she is forced to do for losing the WALL-E bet from Episode 21. Then we talk about the Island nation of Malta and that’s because the answers to our five questions came from Malta this week!  Molly, sadly, is sober, so she completely fails to impersonate the sender’s accent.  That’s probably because she has no idea what it would sound like.

    Thank you – and may your boners be the geekiest.

    For our October Geeky Boner episode, we talked about spreadsheets, Borderlands 2 (oh boy do we talk about Borderlands 2), and Tim’s band, The Dregs.  They just released a new CD (Do it Like You’re Drunk), which Molly and Nick recommend. We also spent a lot of time talking about Halloween because all three of us love the holiday.  Molly reminisces about her Wiccan days.  Then we read and respond to Erica Zaffke Schaub’s answers to our five questions.

  • Episode 5 – Geeky Boners

    No guests on this week’s show.  The three of us talk about the geeky stuff that has been on our minds lately and then we turn our attention to a series of questions that we’ve been told every atheist should answer.  We manage to make it through two of them before we are too annoyed to continue.  Molly also gets her chance to answer our five questions.  We spend a fair amount of time talking about Iron Man (actually Tony Stark). We also talked about what gives our lives meaning and a moral code since it’s pretty clear we don’t think it’s God.

    Molly talks about her work at Fantasy Flight Games.  Go check them out.

    We got through two of Tim’s Ten Questions Every Atheist Should answer and we don’t think we’ll do any more because they pissed us off too much.  If you’re interested in the rest of the questions and Tim’s answers, you can read them here.  He’s also been working through some follow up questions asked by a fundamentalist Christian.
