The Lazy Geeks The Lazy Geeks

As many of you know by now, Steven’s brother (and friend of the show), John, passed away on Monday, May 24. Just two days before his birthday. In his honor, the guys have re-released an episode he contributed on “The Lazy Geeks: 2011 Comic-Con Special, Part 1”. He was a close friend to Adam, aside from Steven’s big brother.

If you would like to donate to his funeral and medical expenses, please click on the link for his GoFundMe page. If you don’t like GoFundMe, please donate through our PayPal account. Any help would be appreciated.

RIP John

Since the release of our new episodes last week, a whole lot has changed. My big brother died suddenly of a brain tumor. Here are my thoughts about the last week and the future of the show. For now.
