COL706: Nerd Culture: Then vs Now

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys get down and nerdy. Remember the 80s film franchise ‘Revenge of the Nerds’? Back then, ‘nerd’ was used as a bullying term. Fast forward four decades later and nerd culture has become a thing. Listen in as the cubs discuss nerdom as a whole entertainment industry. But, is the current interest in all things nerdy an actual shift in overall perspective and acceptance, or have things moved into an inevitable cash grab as the nerds of the 80s are now adults with disposable income?

Nerd Culture: Then vs Now

Those that lived in the 70s & 80s remember the film franchise ‘Revenge of the Nerds’. Back then ‘nerd’ was used as a slur. Fast forward to four decades later and nerd culture has become a thing, a whole entertainment industry if you will. But is the current interest in all things nerdy an actual shift in overall perspective and acceptance? Or have things moved into an inevitable cash grab as the nerds of the 80s are now adults with disposable income?

Re: COL372: LTAS: THE DL DEAL

  • chubnerdchaser:Really loved this episode! As someone who is one of the (mostly) D/L guys, it was good to hear more from the other side of the coin. Also really glad you touched on the type of D/L guys who aren’t “out” about being into chubs or bears, even if they’re otherwise out as gay. It’s one of my pet peeves! Keep up the great work!

Re: COL374: OTR: BEAR ORIGINS

  • chubnerdchaser: Highly recommend listening to at least 374 if you’re not a regular listener. It’s really good. I laughed, I cried, I got a semi. Thanks for recording it!

New comment on your post “COL371: HNU: State of the Community2016″ From Jay

Email feedback from listener RJ:

Hello guys its RJ i thought it was easier to send an email rather than leave a very lengthy message in the comments section, first off one of my earliest experiences with a guy was the DL

Richard and I both worked at Meijer and as time went on we developed a relationship of sorts..which included messing around at work (how we were never caught is an honest to god miracle..LOL) then as time went on we would see each other outside of work once neither of us worked there he was of course married and neglected which his how and why things happened between us (btw even though he is still single we still mess around)

next up is Robert…I actually poached him from another mostly straight fuck buddy and Robert and I still mess around though once i did see him out in public and did not approach him as he was with his daughters girlfriend at the time and did not want to make things odd for him.

Oh i have also managed to play around currently with a guy from Chaturbate..hes married but has a really high sex drive for a man in his mid to late 50s…LOL

And you also asked if there were ever any guys we have hooked up with that were kind of odd or secretive about playing with them…actually Gary there are guys and mutual friends between us i have played with and that have asked for discretion..not sure if its due to me being more effeminate or what but its all about having a good time.

BTW..you had asked me about some show ideas Gary..i was thinking about dating deal breakers…or perhaps how apps are almost eliminating traditional dating..

Stalkers was another show topic i suggested

Thanks guys take care and keep up the good work
