Episode 148 :: Microsode 2-Pack – Plant-Based Characters & LEGOs
Oh snap! Is that a LEGO piece or a tree branch you’ve stepped on? Either or! ‘Cause you’ve stumbled on another Microsode 2-Pack! Cap and Hex announce Nerdy Show LIVE, discuss what’s new about Nerdapalooza 2013, and serve up two radically different, bite-sized episodes mashed together with some creamy cookie filling for your podcast nomjoyment.
First up, Cap and Tony are joined by the Ghostbusters: Resurrection crew Doug, Josh, Adam, and Nina for a discussion on plant-based heroes and villains brought to you by BigBadShadowMan. Who are the chlorophyllic culprits and why aren’t there as many tree hugging heroes to stop them? Will your favorite fictional ficus get mentioned? How do the Lightning Dogs factor into this?
Next up, Trench88 asks us to discuss the building blocks of life: LEGO. Cap, Colin, and Brandon travel to the darkest Denmark to discover fascinating truths and lies about the multicolored mega-corp that’s been rocking our worlds since we (allegedly) passed the safe age for choking hazards.
