Ep. 17: Nerd
Listen now
Description
NNEEERRRRDDDSSS!!! In this episode of Extreme Vocabulary we nerd out on the word NERD. Who or what is a nerd? Is it now cool to be a nerd? And what credentials can you show to prove your nerdhood? Listen in as Efren challenges our nerdhood by siding with Pokémon the Trading Card Game, while Josh sides with Pokémon GO, and Abe stays conservative with the main series Pokémon games. But aren't nerds really just social conformists intent on ruling the world? And aren't they the jerkiest gate keepers of their sphere of influence? Or are they genuine social outcasts, like the main character in Junot Diaz's novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao? Stay tuned as our inner nerd takes over this episode!!!
