Nutty Bites 137: Lasagna! The Secret Ingredient is Love

Posted on November 21, 2018 by Nuchtchas

Nutty Bites 137: Lasagna! The Secret Ingredient is Love

Lasagna is just noodle cake, but it is so comforting and delicious. How it’s made can make or break an experience. Most of the time it’s good, sometimes it is amazing, and a few times it is horrible. Listen to Nutty, Tek, Jason, & Jen (of the Talk Nerdy 2 Me Podcast) talk about how to make a good noodle cake, and why it’s so important to us and our culture.

This starts the first in a new series for Nutty Bites based on food. Long time listeners and followers know that food is very important to our hosts. For a while they have wanted to podcast more about food, but how does one fit that into a geek centric podcast? Simple, geek out about food and show how nerdy it can be.

If you are looking for other food related podcasts may I recommend the Eat This Podcast and Fashionably Ate.

Nutty Bites 136: Please Like Me w/Matt & Steph

Posted on October 31, 2018 by Nuchtchas

Nutty Bites 136: Please Like Me

Matt told me and Steph that we HAD to watch Please Like Me, and thankfully he did. This show is important and it made us think about a lot of things. We of course then decided we needed to podcast about it. Warning, this episode has swears, and talks about adult themes, mental health issues, suicide, and other things that are not safe for small ears. This is the first episode of Nutty Bites ever that is marked as explicit. It also goes over 2 hours, so it’s pretty long.

Nutty Bites 135: Tropes!

Posted on October 17, 2018 by Nuchtchas

Nutty Bites 135: Tropes!

Tropes can be helpful or hurtful. Nutty, Tek, Encaf1, Jason, Jen, and Melissa discuss when to stick by the tropes and when to abandon them and start new. There is a knee jerk desire to say always start with something new, but sometimes you need to respect your fans. We get off topic more than once, and this is a crossover episode with Talk Nerdy 2 Me, so things get fun. I ended up cutting a lot out of this episode and if people want the bloopers maybe I can release them but you have to ask for it.

Nutty Bites 134: Intimate Friendships

Posted on September 30, 2018 by Nuchtchas

Nutty Bites 134: Intimate Friendships

Intimate Friendships are often overlooked in both society and fiction. Nutty, Tek, Jason, and Melissa got together to discuss some of their favorite examples.

These friendships are essential and necessary and can sometimes be more important than romantic pairings. Close friendships of this level can be the cure for loneliness. I remember a speech given by Mister Rogers about how intimacy and learning to express one’s feelings, to feel your feelings, is important for all of our mental health. Too many good fiction can be ruined by skipping intimacy and diving straight into romance or sex.

A few disclaimers, the day after we recorded this, one of the writers behind Bert and Ernie came out as saying that he modeled their friendship off of his with his husband. A few days after that Sesame Street again made a statement saying the characters aren’t a couple but just kids and best friends. I don’t think that this statement derails from our discussion in this episode, more proves the intimacy between the two characters.

Disclaimer two, we recorded this two weeks ago but life has been so crazy I just couldn’t do the simplest editing a processing to get it posted. I’m sorry, but this still counts as a September episode and there will still be two episodes for October. It is sad it took me so long to get to it because it needed almost no editing, just needed the bumpers and promos added.

Nutty Bites 133: Cartoons Then vs Now

Posted on September 8, 2018 by Nuchtchas

Nutty Bites 133: Cartoons Then vs Now

Cartoons then vs Now is when Nutty, Tek, Jen, Jason, & brand new podcaster Cee Jaye get into the nitty gritty of cartoons. We talked about older cartoons, 80/90s cartoons, and what we can watch today. What worked, what didn’t work, and what we’d like to see more of. Also, we delved into the remake of older cartoons and where they succeeded, shows such as MLP & Voltron.
