Case of the Stolen Volleyball Scholarship: Saturday Morning Villains (Because Nerd #34)

This week on Because Nerd, we’re taking a look at the sinister side of Saturday Morning Cartoons, those doers of dastardly deeds, the maniacal meddlers of mayhem, the “The Bad Guys”!! Where did it all go wrong? How did they come to this life?? And when you really think about it, are they actually even bad guys at all??? I mean, when Cobra Commander loses his volleyball scholarship so that COL Hawk can start his pet project of GI Joe, then just what else is Cobra Commander supposed to do other than go start an international terrorist organization?!?! I mean, COME ON!! So, this is your last warning, cause it’s about to get real nerdy in here!!

GI Joe Vehicles (Because Nerd #31)

This week on Because Nerd, we are taking a look at just what the heck is up with GI Joe vehicle designs?? Got a lawnmower… put a flamethrower on it! Got a porta-john… how about adding wheels and spray hose!! Seriously, who is coming up with these and who is giving them the greenlight?? It’s time to get to the bottom of these burning questions on this episode of Because Nerd!!!

I’m never gonna call you: Intro Tess (Because Nerd #23)

Hey there, you. We don’t talk enough anymore. You know what I mean?? We should change that. In fact, here, we just finished a new episode of Because Nerd! You should totally check it out! In it, we take time to ponder the merits of Mac-n-Cheese ice cream, like, “are there any merits to Mac-n-Cheese ice cream?”. We also spend time remembering the 90s cartoon show, Pirates of Dark Water and its disappointing inability to finish. We even ring the bell on a Super BeatOff that goes down between The Bionic $6 Million Man vs the Invisible Secret Agent: Gemini Man. I can’t tell you how happy I am that we’re talking together again, and I’m soooo glad that we’re reconnecting!!
