The Hump! Podcast Ep. 9: Won’t You Be My ‘Geeky’ Neighbor?

Welcome to The Hump! Podcast .... In episode 9 of The Hump! Podcast: Won't You Be My Geeky Neighbor ....  hosts Brent Bowen and Chad Beland get geeking with geek blogger Angie Pedersen of KC Geeks. Our guest, Angie, is Kansas City’s – if not the Midwest’s – premiere geek reporter. She shares all manner of geekiness on her blog … KC Geeks. Angie is a Kansas City native and founded KC Geeks in 2015 because she wanted there to be a one-stop-shop for Kansas City geek resources. Local meetup groups and clubs do a great job in their niche, but Angie has made her mission to showcase all “flavors” of geekiness. She is also a former contributor to GeekCrafts, and the author of four books, including The Star Trek Craft Book. This Kansas City Geek definitely encourages people to embrace every geeky part of themselves. So ... buckle in for the guys geeking with Angie Pedersen and enter the geek side of life.  The Hump!

The two buddies who like to drink a lot of craft beer together, entertain geek guest and talk one of their favorite topics -- geek life and summer movies. But before sharing a pint with Angie Pedersen of KC Geeks, the fellas ... Start geeking over one of Brent's favorite breweries — Kansas City's Crane Brewing Co. Their beer of the week is Crane Brewing Co. Coconut Milkshake New England IPA. They provide their Toasts of The Week ... A final toast to Chad's daughter for graduating high school and for now being a Kansas State Wildcat. (Brent reluctantly agrees to this toast). How Brent has managed to keep his four pounds lost off despite it being American Craft Beer Week and him drinking a lot of beer. And chat about what they've got going on: How were the graduation festivities? And how many parties DID Chad hit? When will they see Deadpool 2 ... the electric boogaloo? And does Deadpool 2 live up to the hype? The final KC Brewery Tour (Tap Tour) round is upon them but it has to wait until the next weekend. The guys have the north loop left KC Tap Tour Season 2 "catch-up" consumption plan. That is comprised of Big Rip, Calibration, Cinderblock and Colony. (Sadly. Season or Session 2 is now over) When it comes to geek gear ... why decide between beer and geek clothing ... when you can have both in one T-shirt? Brent starts geeking over the Game of Thrones, Baratheon Stout T-shirt Chad game him several years ago. Brent's supposed to go watch the Royals vs. Yankees, but the Kansas City Royals are so bad is the Craft & Draft enough of a draw to still go. This Week's Topic — Geeking ...
