Would you want Yoda telling you where to go?  Turns out you can, now that his voice is being used by Tom Tom.  Yes, it’ll come in handy on Degobah, but still….  Last week, Crashboy told us Prince hates the internet so this week, we have a look and try to figure out why. (answer- he’s weird)  Generation Y doesn’t hate the internet though.  In fact, a new study says social networking will be a permanent part of their lives. This will have a ripple effect it seems, as Twitter will eventually make all your friends hate you.

All that plus, turning a page was patented by Microsoft?, iPhone vs Android redux, and Art’s nomination for headline of the year!

And we end our Facebook discussion with the news that Lady Gaga now has more Facebook fans than any one else in the history of social media.  ( number two?…. John Lithgow’s Friendster account…. interesting fact)

Which came first, the hit or the ad?  We look at the Apple effect, and why artists constantly jockey to be the featured song on Apple’s new ads.  Then we delve into the nebulous world of ambiguous sexuality with a look at the recent tribulations of Justin Bieber, and how they pale in comparison to the tribulations of women with large feet.

All that, plus sex in space, listeners reviews and calls, and why Prince thinks the internet is finished.

All that plus, the freakonomic side of The Club, Lesser Nerds updates on Dr. Demento and our vajazzlers, and Art goes on yet another rant, this time at the expense of new age bookstores.  All on the favourite podcast of the Cameroon football team, Lesser Nerds.

Fortunately it’s not all about the battle of the sexes this week.  For example, it seems the display models of iPads are rife with bacteria.  You might not want to touch one.  Lord knows Crashboy doesn’t want to, ever since Art suggested he start playing Angry Birds.  We finally get his review of the game this week, replete with profanity.

Wondered why we had no mention of Star Wars in the last few weeks?  Yeah, neither were we.  But still, we decide to remedy, at least in part, that unfortunate imbalance, by giving props to an amazing video showing what Star Wars would look like if it had been made in 1950.  Then the nerds go bravely into new territory by presenting a dramatic reading from one of the hilarious chats on chitchatwithdave.com

All that, plus the legendary Dr. Demento drops by to talk to the lads, and gives a lesson in what it means to be graceful in the face of a changing world.

And that’s when things start to get a bit creepy… Crashboy introduces us to the Florida airport security worker who took a riot baton to his co workers after they made fun of his … riot baton.  Then Art takes us into the depths of the interweb to view the dubious offerings at “Crabrevenge“.  And if that wasn’t enough, both the nerds get the willies at the latest offering on ThinkGeek, the “Tell Me Your Secrets” Bear.

To make up for the creepiness, we look at Cupidtino, the new dating site for Mac heads, and marvel at the creator of a YouTube baby announcement video, who somehow managed to sneak away from his video editing software just long enough to create a few kids.

Plus, why you should quit Facebook, real life porn parodies, why Gilligan’s Island may not be as shallow as you thought, and what exactly is the beef train? (no, it’s not that).  All that and more on the official podcast of ROFLCon, 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.

We also look at how a technology long used in wrist watches could be coming to a cell phone near you, and could get rid of those unsightly charging cords in the process.  We also somehow connect a jailed Israeli soldier with the movie “Airplane”.  (surprisingly easily!)

Plus, this week Crashboy explains follow Friday to a clued out Art, and we take a listener call suggesting a male equivalent for….. you guessed it… vajazzling.

There are other more important things to talk about however.

For example, if you had sex in an MRI machine (good luck with that one), what would the scan look like?  You might not want to know.

We also look at the detritus created by 50 years of the space race, and what countries actually have a working satellite pointed at Crashboy’s pants.  (which you can be sure are not on the ground)   Plus, how the Swiss might very well be thieving swine, and why Amazon had kind of a bad week.

For the occasion, we talk to tech guru Carmi Levy on what exactly we might hear today, and what exactly Betamax might have to do with it. We also chat with media insider Mathew Ingram on whether or not newspapers will get their magic bullet.

And if that wasn’t enough…. we somehow talked Millennium Falcon bed designer Kayla Kromer to move one state to the left and join us as our man on the street interviewer!

But as we wait, we still have a few items to keep us busy. For example…

She’s baaaaack! The mastermind behind the group of Heathers that made Crashboy’s life a scene from a John Hughes movie  has now asked to be his friend on Facebook. What should he do??? Vote below. Hopefully she knows the four myths of profile pictures.

We tell you how we might be able to guess your password (in 32 guesses), and Art waxes lyrical about film of some dude on a rocket pack.

Visit the PantlessKnight’s YouTube channel here.

Meanwhile, the wussification of chemistry sets is lamented, while we examine exactly why a high school prank caused the bomb squad to descend on a San Diego high school.

We salute the golden anniversary of the laser, which probably wouldn’t have even been invented, if a British politician had any say.

Plus… Crashboy’s keen eye sees what customers who bought bulk communion wafers on Amazon also bought, and Art speculates on the genealogy of Nevada’s first male prostitute.  And a Star Wars and sex update… all on the special St. Abernathy’s Day edition of Lesser Nerds.

For the first, we go to Austria to speak with Gordo and Walter the creators of the Web 2.0 Suicide machine, who give us an update on when and how they’ll break through Facebook’s attempt to block them.

Then Art has a few words for the haters who think it’s pointless telling everyone you’re wearing a leopard skin bra as a way to raise awareness of breast cancer.

Crashboy tells us how to win a fistfight, drive a stick, and a few more of the 50 things everyone should know how to do.

Fortunately “Fight off an attacking shark” is no longer one of them since scientists are now getting sharks to text them when they come too close to shore.

We also discuss the quick appearance and disappearance of the trailer for The A-Team, and why Crashboy spent most of his summers in a rural hippie love cult.  And if you think we made it through an entire episode without linking sex and Star Wars… think again.

Plus, Ask Art, Uncle Leo, and a preview or our upcoming special Live on Location episode!

But in looking for something to live for, we come across the charms of Texas native Kayla Kromer, who drops by the Lesser Nerds studio to discuss exactly what compelled her to build a hamburger bed, a Millennium Falcon bed, and why she may be the only person in North America with a passion for Jar Jar Binks (but Crashboy is too shy to ask her what SHE thinks of the man who does Star Wars body paint – NSFW).

Crashboy tells us why kids today expected more technological advancements by now, while Art tells us why the senior circuit is quite fine with tech today, thank you very much.  Too bad they probably won’t be around to experience the advent of light emitting walls.

And we speculate on exactly what kind of coffin would be suitable for the late great Curtis Allina, inventor of the modern Pez dispenser (and yes, you’ll be able to see the punchline coming down Broadway).

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!

We talk to Tony Dyson, the creator of R2 D2, who has a fully automated house in Malta, and perhaps the world’s most infectious laugh.

A poor Angelino discovers the hard way that you can’t just show up at the Lesser Nerds studio high atop the Flimm building. What was wrong with Swordfish? Well, many things, but the nerds look at ridiculous user interfaces in film, and the man who designs them.

Art lets us know just how many women are on Facebook, and Crash Boy tells us what the hell Bebo is.

The nerds give a thoughtful dissertation on the aesthetic of testes, and once and for all try to figure out what this crazy “porn” thing is they keep hearing about.

Guest interview link: http://www.tonydyson.com/ – The inventor of R2D2

Crash Boy explains to a very bewildered Art how Apple will use it’s upcoming Tablet to bring back the 70s – vinyl album art and all.

Future humans: we discuss four ways we may – or may not evolve – or devolve: and continue to take potshots at Japanese culture by examining the marriage of a Japanese nerd to his virtual girlfriend.

Crash Boy fills us in on why his Call Of Duty disc is now making a lovely coaster.  And, in an early Christmas act of kindness, we show you why this podcast is your first source for new internet sex fads.

Plus: we find out if driving around with a cuppa joe on your roof is a chick magnet. Roof coffee cup guy pulls over during his morning commute to talk to The Nerds.

Plus, this week’s Ask Art discovers that “tromboner” isn’t actually a word you would want to use in the orchestra pit.

No matter how big a fan I will ever be of Kevin Smith, I will never be as big a fan of Kevin Smith as Kevin Smith is of Kevin Smith.
