In what’s sure to be our whitest, nerdiest, and most boring episode to date, I am joined by Andrew Fitch and Ryan Higgins for a way-too-long-for-its-own-good three-man geek-out. You can thank Caltrain and Thanksgiving for the short staff this week. Speaking of which, happy Thanksgiving, and have a safe and turkey-filled weekend (unless you live outside of the U.S., in which case…have a great normal nothing-to-see-here weekend)! Also: If you want to hear more podcastin’ from Karen Chu and I, head on over to Bitmob and check out this week’s episode of the Mobcast, where we join fellow Ziff Davis/1UP castaways Demian Linn and Jeff Green to chat about Warcraft’s 15th anniversary.

Love him or hate him, Patrick Joynt (AKA Mr. Karen Chu) is back to fill in for a once-again-absent Mike Cruz (who secretly hates the rest of us). What inane, vile things will spew from Patrick’s mouth this week? Listen in, find out, and then Digg the podcast because it was that awesome!

I hope everyone out there had a happy and safe Halloween. Enjoy this week’s episode, which once again guest-stars the Geekbox’s official roadie, Brock Sager. With any luck, Mike Cruz will be back next week (he’s been out due to some excuse about family visiting — way to have priorities dude!).
