#23: The STAGE of the GRANDEST

Flying without their fearless leader, two of the three conquistadors take on one of their GRANDEST challenges…

On this edition, Special Contributor to Keeping It Nerd, Jeremiah Dempsey (@xjdempseyx) leads a panel of Alvin Bautista (@strong.style.ninja) and Gino Garde (@greatbamgino) of breaking down anything and everything that happened on this year’s WrestleMania Weekend. Moderated by Anthony (@murseant), the quartet of kayfabe-keepers examine the awesomeness that was NXT Takeover: New Orleans and the very long and exhausting but decent WrestleMania 34.

#22: Live from CAFFE FRASCATI

Keeping It Nerd rocked the house during Silicon Valley Comic Con at Caffe Frascati on April 7, 2018.

Our heroes, Vince (@vmostajo09), with help from Anthony (@murseant), hosted the all-star panel this past weekend in a little cafe down the street from the San Jose Convention Center.

Our panelists included artist and actress Lauren Garcia (@lasandrei), filmmaker and podcaster Ray Hom (@rayhomdotcom), comic artist Glen Canlas (@glencanlas), and personal trainer and cosplayer Saul Cervantes (@spideyfit). They each brought their awesome energy and their intelligent insights on all things pop culture and geek related.

They all go into depth about what they like in the pop and geek culture, why we will always see the 80s style in modern times, and what superpowers each of the panelists have. We were also treated to a dramatic reading of everyone’s least favorite Marvel Netflix series, ‘Iron Fist.’

Special Thanks:
– Roger and Caroline from Caffe Frascati. Go check them out at 315 S. 1st St., San Jose, CA.
– Each of the panelists! Lauren, Ray, Glen, and Saul.
– Edwin Fabian aka Marty McFLY **buzz buzz** for the promo
– Alec Rivera for taking the pictures
– As always, Evan King (http://evanking.bandcamp.com) for “Alpha Channels”, the official theme of ‘Keeping It Nerd’ heard on this and almost every episode of this very fine podcast.

#21: Grieving for Geoffrey Giraffe

The heroic trinity finally rides again!

On this edition, our heroes Vince (Twitter: @vinsanity09 / IG: @vmostajo09) and Anthony (@murseant almost anywhere) are joined by ‘Special Contributor’ Jeremiah Dempsey (@xjdempseyx on the Instagrams). Finally finding a remote podcasting solution (thanks to zoom.us), the trio get into a topic near and dear to most kids over the last 70 years–Toys “R” Us.

More specifically, the closing down of one of the biggest toy stores in the world and how it got there. This episode takes a strange left turn in the beginning, but they quickly get back on track as they pay respect to Charles Lazarus, get into the fondest childhood memories and experiences, and what was up with that ‘Haunted Lives’ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M8E3VAtquY) segment about the Sunnyvale, CA Toys “R” Us? (Yeah the heroes say it’s from ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ but we fact check our ish here.)

APRIL 7th is almost here.
Join “Keeping It Nerd” for their very first LIVE show on April 7, 2018 at Caffe Frascati, 315 South 1st St., San Jose, CA (literally about a block and a half from the San Jose Convention Center) during #SiliconValleyComicCon. There will be a panel, it will be fun, there’ll be giveaways, you can’t miss it.

Special Thanks:
– Tha J-Squad for the “Toys ‘R’ Us Jingle Remix”
– Mulle (https://soundcloud.com/mulleofficial) for his song, “Letting Go”
– Reyna (@reynax81) for the promos
– Evan King (https://evanking.bandcamp.com) for “Alpha Channels”, the official theme of ‘Keeping It Nerd’ heard on this and almost every episode of this very fine podcast.
