Evan and EMily go in deep with discussions of the discovery of the idea of string theory, where it began, who first proposed it, the changes the theory has gone through, the tests used to confirm it and the skeptics that either do not beleive at all or are not yet convinced...we're looking at you Tyson.

...Wait, what was that fourth one?

Evan and Carissa play some fun games and wax philosophical with the whimsical pair, celebrating the chance to record together in one physical location.
To hear the other half of the evening's festivities (namely: the Room 101 Game), you will want to listen to Teddy and the Bassman's latest episode, found here.
2016-04-1359 minLucky 10,000The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 39: Aliens!We get into close encounters of all kinds this week on The Lucky Ten Thousand. Well, really just the alien kinds. UFOs, extra-terrestrials, string theory: it's all here. Come with us on a universal adventure. We promise not to anally probe you. Unless you're into that.
Recorded live in Evan's studio, our intrepid hosts are back together again in a face-to-face encounter of their own for the first of a series of very special episodes from the Bearded Pods Network. Stay tuned for more!2016-04-0752 minLucky 10,000The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 37: The TheatreAll the world's a stage
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances
And one man in his time plays many parts.
Evan and Carissa share their fondest memories of the noblest art, which mostly means all the best fuck-ups from their history in theatre. For any actor, director, audience member, or lover of blooper reels, have we got a show for you.2016-03-171h 01Lucky 10,000The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 36: Nerd Rage! Geek Gender RelationsThis week Evan and Carissa solve gender relations!
OK, not really, but we do discuss some of the more prevalent issues between the genders within the overarching geeky communities - most specifically in gaming culture. While we won't be winning any Peace Prizes for our contribution here, we take a moderate, common sense, humanitarian look at some of the misapprehensions, misunderstandings, and misogyny that plague games and geek ventures in general. Sparked by a particularly egregious incident at the Dota 2 Shanghai Major tournament, Carissa explains both of the friendzones (and how to get out of them) before tackling a...2016-03-101h 03Lucky 10,000The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 34: Nerd Love! FireflyEvan was the last person on Earth to watch Firefly and now he gets to share with us the joy of being the lucky one. Lamentable as the show's premature cancellation is (damn you, Fox!), most of us have had the better part of a decade to mourn its loss while he is finding himself in the throes of new grief. Like most of us, the only closure he can really find is from incessantly going over all the great things we can only ever enjoy on rewatching.
You can't take the sky from me.
2016-02-2452 minLucky 10,000The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 33: There's a Word For That!Attention grammar nerds and logophiles: this one's for you! Reformed grammar nazi Carissa opens up her ever-expanding list of adult vocabulary words to share them with Evan - and you, our faithful listeners. Evan, in turn, shares a very few choice examples of the words with which Shakespeare graced us. We even toss in a few from across the seas, because what would a talk about English be if it didn't include some linguistic pilfering? This is an episode far shorter than it could have been, all about the collection of sounds which make up the lovely, thieving, sadomasochistic English...2016-02-171h 03Lucky 10,000The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 31: Humanity. Fuck Yeah!Humans are portrayed in most extra-terrestrial science fiction as puny, weak, insignificant, and utterly outclassed by any and all offworld explorers who happen upon them. This week, Carissa and Evan ask: what if humanity isn't a pile of crap but is, instead, terrifying and bewildering to our galactic neighbors? Maybe we are the horror movie villain of ET's nightmares, and we set out to explain why we might not be the primitive hairless apes of most modern science fiction.
Humanity! Fuck yeah!
2016-02-0347 minLucky 10,000The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 30: Robots!After a quick recap of the sad events of this past week, Evan and Carissa get to talking about robots. We cover the adorable NAO, the nightmarishly trippy Deep Dream, Asimov's Three Laws, sex bots, and much much more. Basically, it's everything you will need to know about the future of robotics. You're welcome!
2016-01-2758 minLucky 10,000The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 27: Shootin' the ShitWe don't do it often, but to kick off the new year we wanted to just kind of talk to each other about 'stuff'. Carissa announces her resolution and waxes poetic about the touching effect of Bob Ross on Twitch chatters, while Evan reflects on Red Dead Redemption and the things we love despite all contrary public opinion. Hollywood gets a nice reaming for its neoconservative values and alien view of the real world. Just for the hell of it, we talk limericks and anti-limericks, and would like to invite our beloved listeners to send us their favorite dirty limericks.2016-01-0651 minLucky 10,000The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 26: Obligatory Yearly Roundup2015 is coming to a close and so, as we approach the beginning of the year when those born at the turn of the millennium will be driving cars, Evan and Carissa take a look back - as many others are doing - at the halfway point of the Twenty-Teens.
The best (and a couple of the worst) in science, tech, medicine, movies, tv, and games of the year all get a nod. Then we take a look forward to hope for the best to come in the approaching year. We know everyone is doing a year-in-review, but naturally we...2015-12-301h 21Lucky 10,000The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 24: Star Wars Nerd Rage and TriviaTomorrow, as we all know, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens hits general release. We were remiss in raging about the second two prequels, so we get that out of the way because we are people of our word.
Then Trivia! How much does Evan remember about the minutiae of the Star Wars movies? Carissa quizzes him to find out. Play along at home, test your own memory, and see if you get to feel smug about how much Star Wars trivia you know. With many huge thanks to the Geeks Who Drink for their inspiration from...2015-12-161h 25Lucky 10,000The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 23: The March of ProgressThis week Evan and Carissa reminisce about the technology which shaped our generation. The 8088 and the Apple ][e, BASICA games and TI graphing calculators, the Hayes SmartModem and AOL, BBSes and MUDs, Betamax and VHS, and so much more. Progress marches on, moving ever faster and with increasing promise, so we pause to relish in the view from the top, standing on the shoulders of the giants which brought us into the future.
2015-12-101h 14Lucky 10,000The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 21: NostalgiaIt's maybe a little cliché, but come along with us as we reminisce about the music, movies, television, and books which influenced us and left the most lasting impressions. Evan and Carissa discuss the pop culture that shaped them - and probably a bunch of you, too - and along the way remember things they had long since forgotten.
Not "only 80s kids will understand", but it might help a little bit. So join us, and perhaps we can remind you of some stuff you loved and lost. Of course we would love to hear from you about any...2015-11-181h 19Lucky 10,000The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 16: PhobiasKicking off the month of Halloween, we decided to avoid the more standard fare of horror movies and costumes. Instead we take a brief glimpse into the world of true fear: phobias. Drawing from the exhaustive list found courtesy of phobialist.com, we look at fears both perfectly understandable and wildly outlandish.
Carissa shares a bit of her personal experience with irrational fear and Evan marvels at all the things of which he can, thankfully, say he isn't afraid.
For reference (phobic trigger warning), here is the Great Mole Rat and the quintessential image for thalassophobia.2015-10-071h 08Lucky 10,000The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 14: Stand-up and ImprovThis week we get serious about comedy.
Carissa is an unabashed stand-up comedy nerd, despite (as she claims) not being funny herself. Both our hosts have a history in improv, though Evan is the only one still actively involved in an improv troupe. Together, we possess both a wealth of information and an overabundance of admiration for stand up comedy. In what turned out to be our longest episode yet, we go from court jesters to Lewis Black, Gallagher to Dane Cook, Bob Hope to Chad Daniels, Monty Python to Brian Regan, and much - SO MUCH - mor...2015-09-232h 16Lucky 10,000The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 12: Zombies!If you thought Evan had said all there was to say about zombies in Episodes Four and Eight, you are going to be surprised at this one. This time, he gets more in depth about the absolute must-have zombie horror flicks for aficianados and new collectors alike. We hear about the top ten on his list as well as some favorable honorable mentions.
Minor spoilers ahead for some of the best zombie movies ever put on film.
Also, as Carissa mentions later in the episode, visit ZombieHunters.org for all your zombpacolypse needs.2015-09-091h 14Lucky 10,000The Lucky Ten Thousand: Episode 11 - Losing Nerd CredIt may be a tad late in the game for a disclaimer, so this episode is more like a confession. Evan and Carissa go through the top five things which lose each of them 'nerd cred'. From the not-so-bad to the hate-inducing, we run the gamut of why some well-meaning but wrong-headed folk might dare say we aren't geeks/nerds.
For anyone who's ever been excluded, mocked, or flamed for the stuff they DIDN'T see, hear, like, do, or understand, this one's for you.
All hate (or agreement) can be directed to us through LuckyTenThousand [at] gm...2015-09-021h 19Lucky 10,000The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 9: Internet JargonIt's back to school this week, and we join in with a primer on internet jargon. Covering the sites you need to know to get started, the sites you need to know to avoid, and the slang which peppers dialogue across the web, consider this Internet 101. Carissa teaches Evan the very basics to some small degree of success.
Do you feel more like an internet tourist than a native? Here is your "dónde está la biblioteca" course. Are you an old-school 'netizen' (ugh) who speaks 'net like a milk tongue? Take a listen as a refresher, or just en...2015-08-191h 12
Lucky 10,000The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 8: NERD RAGE! Night of the Living Dead 30th AnniversaryEvan spews his bile about "the worst thing to happen in the history of mankind": the 30th anniversary 'remake' of the Romero classic, Night of the Living Dead. We help keep horror fans from being tricked into watching this travesty - if you haven't already been subjected to it, that is. Just like last time, spoilers. And again, you're welcome.

NADota best Dota. #BleedBlue2015-08-121h 01Lucky 10,000The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 7: Serial KillersWe go disturbing and creepy this week as Evan and Carissa explore the enduring fascination with serial killers. Ranging from well-known Jack the Ripper to surprisingly obscure Elizabeth Bathory with several stops in between, we discuss the deeds (and misdeeds) of some of history's most notorious murderers. Why are people so captivated by the dark and horrible exploits of our most broken fellows? What makes an unsolvable crime so enthralling? Myths and legends surrounding killers of old still spark interest in our modern minds, and Evan digs deep into these mysteries to puzzle out why.
