The Lazy Geeks
The Time Has Come
Season 13, Ep. 455
•
The time has come, people. If you read my blog post last week, you know this is our final episode of The Lazy Geeks podcast. We are moving on from it, and have launched our replacement show, The Truly Pointless Podcast.
If it sounds familiar it’s because we did it before. All 28 episodes of that previous series are available. We will drop new episodes in January. As for this show, it was fun. Hope you enjoyed it and follow us on our next step. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

43:39||Season 15, Ep. 467We 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.

463. The Marvel Issue
01:32:03||Season 15, Ep. 463Two 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.

461. The Toxic Fandom
28:33||Season 15, Ep. 461Episode 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.
