Previously on the show, the nerds questioned whether or not people still read Playboy.  Well now they have an easier way to do it.  Now that Hef’s new young bride is feeding him his blue pills in the freshly disinfected and now 100% disease free grotto, his business savvy daughter has put every single page in Playboy’s illustrious 57 year history online.  So for the millions who were looking for that long sought after Bruce Dern interview, your luck is about to change.

Those listening to the show last week will remember our luck needed a bit of changing when it came to interviewing the author of “Man Up” who we found on a train to work.  This week Crashboy sits him down to talk about the finer skills involved with being a modern man, including the controversial inclusion of bra removal.  (not your own)

Of course0 as everyone knows, the real measure of a man is his fertility, or lack thereof.  And researchers this week found a rather unusual way to determine which men will be more likely to have boys that can swim.  It all has to do with a length measurement, but….. umm…… probably not the one you’re thinking of.

All that plus, what we learned this week from an anonymous projectionist nicknamed “Deep Focus”, the nerds make a brief return to vajazling, and why you might want to work for a German insurance company.

Hey, Georgie is thinking about making three brand new Star Wars films which would be sequels to the 6 extant ones.  Burning question – will there be Ewoks?  At least there was some good news from space this week – it turns out the moon has more water than we thought.  Which means we’ll be able to go there and completely tear it apart.  Yay us!

Are you using Ping yet? (naw, neither are we)  So we decided to get A List music geek and radio legend Alan Cross to answer the age old question – Who’s a bigger jerk, Zuckerberg or Jobs?

All that plus, Angry Birds, celebrity deathmatch (kinda), and why Penn Jilette might be to thank for the longer bath time of your wife.

This week, the nerds also look at a study that says nice guys get the girl.  Art had problems with it, but they still both kinda hope it’s true.  What IS true however is Rupert Murdoch and the boys at News Corp escalated their war with cable companies this week.  The nerds try to break it down.  (Key word – “try”)

A Lesser listener this week pointed us to the fact that Han Solo actually had nothing to do with saving the day in Star Wars.  It was in fact nameless tie fighter pilot #24601.  Either that, or maybe the rebels were driving a Toyota Hilux.  After all, that does seem to be the vehicle of choice for insurgents and their ilk.  We here at the Flimm Building wonder what the EPA mileage of the Hilux is.  More interestingly, we wonder what the EPA mileage of the new electric cars is.  It turns out… the EPA doesn’t even know.

Plus, Tarantino’s take on CGI and how to spy on your grocery store from the comfort of your living room.  All that and more on the world’s most error free podcast, Leser Nerd.

Crashboy takes us through a study of 11 sci fi predictions that actually came true, in which our true nerd bona fides come into serious question when we have to look up Hugo Gernsback on Wikipedia.  We reclaim them somewhat however when we look at the new earth-like planet that was discovered last week, and suggest reasons why Gliese 581g might not be the best spot to build a summer home.

All that plus, the fans flood the Facebook page this week, the army actually DOES have an Iron Man suit, and why you may not want to be making fun of your British friends’ teeth.  All on America’s most trusted podcast, Lesser Nerds.

Who the hell is buying floppy disks these days?  Apparently enough to keep them thriving… in spite of the fact the nerds now use them as sassy coasters.

Is social networking making our kids anti social?  We pose that question to Wired Magazine’s Ken Denmead, who feels that (in the words of The Who), the kids are alright.

Does Facebook big cheese Mark Zuckerberg believe in privacy? Well, according to one of his colleagues in the Twitterverse… not so much.

Why does Roger Ebert hate 3D so much?  Turns out the Nerds’ favorite film critic thinks two dimensions is fine, thank you very much.

Did homosapiens and neanderthals ever get… busy?  The answer may surprise you (and kinda gross you out)

What would a REAL first person shooter POV look like?  Some obliging Dutch soldiers give us the answer by storming a hijacked ship with HD camcorders strapped to their heads.

Plus, what are the craziest things you can buy on the internet?  Wherefore CNN?  And we answer the question left hanging from last week’s show.. “Who won the damned Chuck Norris books!?”  All  that and more, on the only podcast allowed in Vatican City…. Lesser Nerds.

This week, the nerds are concerned about your health.

First, we go to Australia to look at the world’s first bionic eye.  Then, back stateside, where a rather killjoy group of scientists tells us what exactly what is causing us to see our lives flash before our eyes when we die (turns out it’s gas… who knew?). So even though we can’t know what comes after death, we can at least know what’s in iPhone OS 4: ads. And more addictive games.

Plus, how Visa can predict whether you’ll get a divorce,  why one British man should have considered getting one from his somewhat, er, healthy girlfriend, and Art falls in love a girl on the interweb, despite thinking she’s a potential fraud.
