CT, Jeeg, and Pax get a dose of culture this week with a visit from Sue London, author of Trials of Artemis (The Haberdashers Book One). After getting the lowdown on what Sue has been doing and what she will be doing, the four of them discuss various couples in the nerd genres including power couples, mismatched couples, married couples, and love triangles. The romance discussion ends with an exercise in “create-a-romance” where The Matrix’s Trinity sees a lot of action. Nerd To-Dos involve d20Monkey, a real Millennium Falcon, more Game of Thrones talk, and the consuming of a free Quarter Pounder from McDonald’s.
Hi Jack! Thanks! Great point about Niles and Daphne. I should have thought of them because my Twitter buddies had just been teasing me about reading Daphne's romance book to her while she was sick.
Regarding the fourth chair – if asked, I will serve.

Unbelievable! This is one of those episodes where I looked at the title and said "How stupid is this going to be?" Then I listened, and once again, you've demonstrated your uncanny ability to turn poo into gold
How did you miss the biggest romance ever, the one that hijacked and assimilated a long-running show that was supposed to be about something else entirely. I refer, of course, to Frazier, which could more accurately been entitled Niles and Daphne. The nerd tie in? Aside from the fact that Niles had to be the biggest nerd who ever survived high school, he was a practicing psychiatrist, and she was a self-proclaimed psychic, both of which are pure Loosiana voodoo.
Nice to meet you, Sue. You brought a lot to the episode, and I had a blast! Wouldn't mind hearing you do another one at some point…
Thanks for having me on, guys! It was fun! 🙂
