  1. SEASON 1 TRAILER

    Reboot Trailer

    The Lazy Geeks are returning, folks. After figuring out the direction I wanted to take this podcast (as well as the blog), we are going through a reboot of sorts. Our direction is a mission to civilize. Still taking away that clickbait clutter but doing more dives into topics. Hope you join us for the new mission.

  2. The Raw Chicken Edition

    FEB 2

    The Raw Chicken Edition

    We are back with another week of news that didn’t get enough attention. Tweaked the format a bit and included a main topic. This week, we discuss TikTok again, Meta banning users from exposing ICE, Microsoft will sell you out to the feds, and AI will be making government legislation soon. Our main topic this week is some of the weirdest things that I found on social media. A California food shortage, people eating raw chicken, and something about milk.

  3. New Year, What's This?

    JAN 26

    New Year, What's This?

    It’s 2026 and we are back. After a tumultuous 2025, I’m in a better situation that will allow me to come back to the show. I’ll explain more in the episode. In our return episode, we are talking about the finalized deal between the US and TikTok, Microsoft having some issues and Threads is having more users than Twitter. This show will continue to stay weekly, starting this week. All my other shows will go on being every two weeks. At least in the meantime, and will switch if more interest is shown.

  4. Hulu Goes Buh-Bye

    Hulu Goes Buh-Bye

    We are back with some of the under reported news stories from the past week, August 3 through 8. Hulu is going buh-bye (sort of), parts of the US Constitution disappeared, Digital Foundry goes independent, and more password sharing crackdowns. Not only that some sites are phishing for Facebook likes. Who does that? Wanna Donate: Donations will allow us to remain ad-free and expand our content.

    The Marvel Issue

    Two things: (one) we are back, and (two) I apologize. The Lazy Geeks are back discussing things that are impacting our lives on a daily basis and I explain more in the episode. The apology is for being a bit long. I decided to go unscripted and this is what I get. I promise, I won’t do that again. But enjoy it, anyway.

    The Theater Problem

    We are doing things a little differently since The Lazy Geeks is under the Gen-Xer Pod banner. This week we cover news, a bitter Australian diner owner, and the problem with people not seeing movies and studios are the reason for it.

    The Toxic Fandom

    Episode 4: The Toxic Fandom. The internet is plagued by fandom toxicity. Where does it come from? Why do older people hate new content? It isn’t as hard to believe as you may think. Also, we discuss Xbox price hikes for Christmas, Polygon sold, GTA VI pushed back, and Spotify cashes in on judgment against Apple.
