You know those people who you watch movies with who turn to you in the crazy action scene and say “Man, that could never happen.” (we hate them too.)  Well, you might want to direct them over to Cracked magazine for their list of absurd movie scenes that actually happened.  The nerds interview the writers of the piece and get a crash course in how to become an employee of the newly blossoming Cracked.com.

Was Monty Python just a “guy” thing?  The boys delve into that burning question while trying unsuccessfully to contain their enthusiasm for the news this week the Pythons are collaborating on a brand new film project. The details have yet to be fully worked out. (right now they’re only wafer thin)

All that plus, a Star Trek divorce, Apple’s mountain o cash, and just how far back does Hollywood’s war on technology go?

The nerds are back, and the Flimm building is buzzing with excitement! (or that’s just the fluorescent tube that custodian Brian never got around to replacing)

We dive right in to the new season with a look at how the future is supposed to be…. according to some famous films.  Art catches Crashboy off guard by confessing a less than affectionate attitude towards a sci fi classic.

And speaking of sci fi classics, it looks like George Lucas had a busy summer.  Not only did he green light a new home building in Singapore that actually looks like a cool and interesting idea, he also released the Star Wars trilogy on Blu-ray.  Gee, it makes you wonder if he made any changes in the films.  Naw, he wouldn’t do that, would he?

Steve Jobs didn’t have the best summer.  On the positive side though, his biological father wants to meet him.  Leading the nerds to both ask the burning question…. “Wait… Steve Jobs is adopted?!”  He is indeed, and his background may surprise you.  You may also be caught off guard when Crashboy introduces us to ten myths about the U.S. space program.

Did you know men have a cycle, just like the ladies?  Well, neither did we.  The nerds poke holes in the claim that we get grumpy every 33 days.

All that plus, Carrie Fisher aims to get back in her Leia bikini on the season premiere of Lesser Nerds.

What happens when you tie pork fat to a computer keyboard and let birds peck at it?  You get the most unique (and according to one of the nerds, boring) Twitter feed ever.  Meet Valdemars Dudums, the man behind Hungry Birds.  You can also catch up with Morgan Spurlock this week.  The man behind Super Size Me has made a documentary about product placement in films, but ran in to a bit of money trouble since no one would sponsor it.  (no, we’re not kidding) .  The nerds look at how he found his way through, and do a verbal compare and contrast essay on the similarities and differences of Mr. Spurlock and another well known button pushing documentarian.

Why would anyone, much less the US government build a version of a Star Wars AT-AT walker?  Believe it or not, this is actually being talked about.  That is, it was until the sharks in Lucasfilm’s legal department caught wind of it.  (good thing he never made a film about electricity or dialysis machines)  Crashboy reminds us of the awesomeness of Gene Roddenberry, while Art questions the wisdom of bipedal automatons.

All that plus, the sneak preview of Battlefield 3, a Russian dead alien hoax, and the best (and perhaps only) Super Mario marriage proposal ever.

Do smartphones make you sexy?  If you think so, chances are you’re a guy.  Chances are also pretty good that you haven’t gotten any for quite some time.  Maybe you should just go out in a two weeks and get yourself a brand spanking new iPad 2.  Crashboy tells us why he will be doing exactly that, and tips his hand as to who he will bequeath his now antiquated iPad 1 to.

Have you seen the new Old Spice commercial?  More importantly, have you seen the behind the scenes video about how they made the new Old Spice commercial.  The nerds take a look at the continued rebranding of a drug store fragrance also ran.

Northwest University might need a bit of rebranding following last week’s live sex toy demonstration that landed the institution in hot water.  It turns out keeping your students after class and showing them exactly how to use a f#*k saw is not considered sound pedagogy. Who knew?  (Maybe the same people who knew that 50% of men might very well be carrying the HPV virus.)

All that plus, when the world is going to end, listener feedback, and what exactly (or to be more specific, how much) a Florida prison inmate had stored in a very private place.  All on Chuck Lorre’s favorite podcast, Lesser Nerds.

This week Art tells us about a Michigan couple whose marital unhappiness has reached such heights, the husband is currently facing hacking charges for reading her email.  And in the vein of tech problems, Crashboy shares the absolute worst part of coming home for Christmas.

Do you know what an earworm is?  No no, not the Chekov kind, the music kind.  One company thinks they have an online cure for that song stuck in your head.  The nerds find it might create more problems than it cures though.  Maybe the song is an old children’s ditty you remember from your kindergarten days.  You know, the one they payed the copy write fees for?  What?? Your kindergarten didn’t pay fees for the songs it used in class??!!  You must not be from Germany then.  That’s the country where you’ll find the piracy police currently patrolling the tiny desks and chairs of the classroom for any infringements.

All that plus, Art gloats over two accurate predictions, pirates just can’t get enough of naked blue people, and some of the weirdest news stories of 2010.  All on the epic, viral, wow factor podcast of mama grizzlies and the American people, Lesser Nerds.

Also true to form is Crashwife, who this week was subjected to yet another recording of her exploits, this time with her permission, however.  Sit back and relax as the made in heaven combination of hotel WiFi, iTunes music store and an innocent iPad conspire to drive the Crashcouple to distraction.

Speaking of driving, did you have any problems behind the wheel this weekend?  It turns out, driving after a daylight savings time switch is a wee bit troublesome for some.  The nerds take the opportunity to look at some of the quirks of our twice yearly ritual.

Art finds himself somewhat stunned this week by the growing influence of Google on our everyday lives.  As an example, the nerds look at a war that was actually started by an error on Google maps.  No, we’re not making this up.  Then, it’s a quick jaunt into the world of climate change to see how one guy decided to let his Twitter do battle with the twits.

All that plus, the wonders of finger power, the iPod’s place in history, the perils of autocorrect, and the best newspaper apology ever.  All on the official podcast of Star Trex, Lesser Nerds.

Although we give short shrift to all things political this week, we did have to pause to marvel at the sheer audacity of the New York congressman who attempted to win his debate by placing his opponent’s ex-wife in the front row!  Not that it worked. In fact, he might have had better luck with Suzette, a chatbot program that fooled judges into thinking it was human by distracting them.

It turns out space may very well be the final frontier for some lucky volunteers..  this according to NASA who have announced plans for their “100 Year Spaceship.”  (interpretation? one way trip).  But for the less intrepid space lover, you could instead opt for the full operating manual of the USS Enterprise which was released this week!

All that plus, Angry Bird plushies (you heard us), why Facebook users should be nervous on December 11th, and the most disturbing personal collection we’ve ever come across – all on Winona Ryder’s preferred podcast, Lesser Nerds.

The Roomba however is most definitely a robot… a robot that needs to watch its back, now that it’s getting some high tech competition.

What happens when you die in space?  More specifically, what happens to your body?  Mary Roach tells us the process is sort of a cross between freeze drying coffee and shaking up brown sugar to get rid of the lumps.

Also this week, Art tells us why having “antidisestablishmentarianism” as your super mega password might not help you after all, and Crashboy shows us the real numbers behind women in technology.

Facebook and Apple seem to be having a falling out over Apple’s new “Ping” service, and surprisingly enough, it’s not because of its unbelievably stupid name.

All that plus, live tweeting a heart attack, naked people on iPhones, and what exactly is a “plushie.”  All on the commemorative Sept 8, 2010 edition of Lesser Nerds

Speaking of greasy salesmen, it turns out companies are bidding on advertising to YOU,.. in real time on the interweb!  Welcome to the brave new world of instant ads…  not quite like it was back in Mad Men times.  Good thing you can now get yourself a genuine limited edition Mad Men doll (Christina Hendricks actual measurements not included)

The Nerds wonder what Google thinks of Apple’s 120,000 iPad preorders. And remember a few weeks back when the nerds had a good chuckle at Amazon’s expense for suggesting Astro Glide lube to shoppers buying bulk communion wafers?  Turns out, that was just the tip of the iceberg!

Plus, Ask Art this week poses the age old question,… what’s better – real Star Wars, or Family Guy Star Wars?  The answer might surprise you.  And we give full props to the fine folks at edgypodcastreviews.com, who apparently thought we were kinda keen.  Plus why James Brown’s body is missing… all on the special St. Swithun’s Day edition of Lesser Nerds.

The answer was stunningly simple… a clip show!

After all, when people as disparate as Cyprian of IJustMadeLove.com or Tony Dyson, the creator of R2 D2 have dropped by the studio, it’s only right to share them at the end of the year.  2009 also found us talking to twitter sensation Roof Coffee Cup guy, (who almost got arrested for talking to us)  and Professor Jeff Eely who filled us in on the death of pinball.

As if that wasn’t enough, Paul Milo, author of “Your Flying Car Awaits” stopped in to tell us about being a space trucker.

What more could a person ask for this festive holiday season?!

We look at the “Twoddler”, a stunning and promising new technology that will be obsolete by the time you read this. If so, it will join the list of everyday things that have become extinct over the last decade.

Art Carlson confesses his desire to get an ultraviolet tattoo, while Crashboy reciprocates by confessing his crush on the girl who builds Millennium Falcon beds (the show’s not called “Lesser Nerds” for nothing).

We also look at rhinos, cougars and swine flu. Just in time for the holidays!
