The Gorram Nerd Hour: Episode 7

It can be difficult sometimes when dealing with the lives of others to do something we may enjoy doing but don't get paid to do. Sometimes that mean we can't all record our podcast at the same time with all three of us in the room. We toyed with the idea of using Skype to have one of them join us that way. But we ultimately decided to try something different instead. There was something Kevin Bacon said in 1990's Tremors that I felt could help - "We plan ahead, that way we don't do anything right now." Well, maybe the part about not doing anything doesn't apply in this situation. But the rest does. We try to stay a week or two ahead of schedule when recording the show. We talk and talk until we're sick of each other's voices. In the last two weeks we recorded enough to make four episodes out of. We tried creating a few more little sketches and randomness. At times we even forgot we were supposed to be talking about nerd stuff and I started going on about Tom Cruise staring at me at a urinal...not the real Tom Cruise, just a photo. But it was equally as creepy.

No matter what you think of the show we're having fun. We hope you like as our aim is to entertain. Here's this week's episode -

Due to scheduling Jacob had a hard time getting both Jeremy and Casey to arrive to record all together. So the following is an experiment of sorts. Jacob recorded with each of them individually and then took pieces from each session to make sure everyone appeared in the show.

This week the boys hit on everything from the recent back and forth of whether Channing Tatum would be Gambit, the upcoming Tremors 5 movie, the passing of the legendary Rowdy Roddy Piper, to whether the last Evil Dead film was a remake.

Along the way they get sidetracked and argue about Batman fighting the Predator and growing up during the cold war. Jacob and Casey share some work stories. And Casey has a special guest - Ramblin' Sam, a blues musician with a lisp and a stutter.

Thank You

I knew that taking more than a year away from doing the podcast, changing co-hosts and keeping the name was going to be a difficult thing. Any time a person stops doing something they're fighting to regain their foothold. To top it off I decided that if and when I came back that I would be doing so without the support of my family at Abnormal Entertainment. 

Since restarting the show, now six episodes in, I feel the love and support for what it is we're doing. Even though The Gorram Nerd Hour retained it's name it's not the same show. That we've been welcomed back so warmly is a great kindness by all of you. 

One of the things I wanted to be sure of when deciding to come back was the choice in co-hosts. Jeremy Taylor has been great at giving me exactly what I knew he would - angry rants and a collaborative spirit. Casey Otero has given me a certain glee that offers the perfect balance between my dry delivery and Jeremy's anger. I feel the three of us together (when we're all available) create a very good team. As much as I want to thank you, the listeners, I feel I owe a great debt to the both of them. 

This has been a trying time for me in my life. I'm at an age where a man begins to think about things in a different way. You begin to weigh what is important to you personally. Couple that with job woes and personal strife and life hasn't always been sunshine and roses. Doing this show gives me a chance to forget those things and focus on something creative and fun. Even if you have tuned in and didn't like what we were offering up I don't feel in the least bit swayed to stop. The reason is simple - I need this. And maybe other people do too. 

We want to grow our network. We want people to want to be a part of a growing family of podcasters that offer unique perspectives on life, the universe and everything. Unless you believe in reincarnation then you believe that we only get one shot at life. Grab it by the balls. Shake it. Don't let the world dictate your worth. Tell the world to go suck the big one because you're contributing by giving something back. Show them that life is more than a series of crappy moments with an orgasm occasionally thrown in. This is your life and you're gonna live it. That's what I'm striving for and I hope you all do the same. 

That's funny, I didn't even know I owned a soapbox let alone could stand on one without it breaking under my weight. Back to my point - Thank you all so much for listening and all the kind words we've heard from you since relaunching The Gorram Nerd Hour.

My Friend Max

Hey folks,

Jacob here. Last night Jeremy and I had the pleasure of sitting down and talking with writer/director Mikeal Burgin and his daughter Kaylynn about a new movie they're making called My Friend Max. The interview is posted HERE.

My Friend Max, simply put, is about a young girl and her imaginary friend named Max, played by Doug Jones. For those of you in the know the name Doug Jones may be all you need to hear to go and support this film by giving money to their IndieGoGo campaign. For that don't know who Doug Jones is just look at the picture below.

Hellboy, Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer, Legion, Pan's Labyrinth, John Dies At The End, even guest starring on The Flash and yet you probably don't know his face. With an extraordinary talent like this in front of the camera and Mikeal Burgin steering the ship this is something you should want to see happen. Go to www.supportmyfriendmax.com to learn more. Here's a link to one of the film's Burgin made that also stars his talented daughter Kaylynn -
