An episode on the very history of nerds? Did we do that? Yes we did. Jake explains the history of the nerd archetype, where the word comes from, and how nerds were at first the antithesis of what young boys should strive to be. Holden and Mike bring up various portrayals of nerds in pop culture and we all share our Big Bang Theory theories and wonder just where do we go now that nerds have certainly had their revenge and are the evil billionaires we fear instead of empathize with.
