The Nerdologues

Stand up comedian/podcaster/documentarian Graham Elwood joins me for an excellent MBSing exploring one of his favorite film genres, crime and mob movies. Upon moving from Madison, Wisconsin, to Evanston, Illinois, when he was 11, Graham garnered a unique perspective on the films as he watched mobsters and crooked cops rule the streets both on his family's newly-acquired color TV and in his new hometown of Chicago.

Kellen Terrett is back. Again. But this time, he's hosting! Tim is the guest. Just kidding! Tim is still a host. For now. The guys discuss what it means to be a "gamer."

Geek Bar Chicago returns for another set of stories appropriately featuring the theme "Bottoms Up."

Nate Bechtel has been everywhere, man. Well, he's at least lived and traveled abroad quite a bit over the course of his life. His dad works for the US State Department, thus he often lives overseas and had his family overseas (specifically in Athens, Munich, and Vienna) for months at a time in Nate's life. He has a unique perspective on life in the US as a result and shares with me many of his favorite stories and impressions of life overseas.

Oh man. What a doozy. Dora is very new to battling the possibility of alcoholism, and when I asked what she wanted to talk to me about, that's what she said. So I acquiesced. Because who am I to say no to an interesting, heartfelt, and at times difficult conversation. Dora and I also made a decent attempt at keeping it light while we delved into her realization within the last month that she needed to make a serious change in her life where drinking is concerned. 

This week, Sammy Tamimi joins Tim and Clayton for a look back at what got them into gaming in the first place.
