Episode 9 – “Skookums” and Caucuses

May 18, 2015

The team is joined by special guest "Maximus" in episode 9. Maximus and co-host Dan worked together at a local radio station and Maximus is now running his own online radio show. (You can check him out at www.themaximusshow.com) Hosts Matt and Dan recap their experiences from Indiana Comic Con including the more notable people, items and events that happened throughout the weekend. The highlight of the con for the duo was the Jason Mamoa panel and they share the interesting, humorous and somewhat crazy information gained from the panel. The show the takes an INCREDIBLE turn WAY, WAY off topic. After this point notable points in the show include the team learning that Matt believes the term "caucuses" refers to a region in Russia, discussion of the term "Skookum", terms and slang referring to Bigfoot and whether or not some Bigfoot terms could be perceived as racist. (Inflection and tone are discussed as factors in this). Overall, the team and Maximus spend more of the show laughing and talking about nonsense than nerd stuff, making for one of the funniest episodes to date!
