This week on The Urban Dictionary episode of The Geek I/O Show, we were joined by Budlong's doppelganger with a better beard, Professor Shyguy! He taught us all about making banging 8-bit rhymes and how to eat steak with strangers.
We discussed anonymous extinct bastard zebras, blowjobs in the forest, League of Legends douche bags, secret albums, sci-fi goop, fixing cars, building a snowman, Lilo and Stitch and the forgotten feels, boring Linux acronyms, pirate fairies, Netflix April Fool's, mad ad-libs, the bumper finger, and CW angst with a giant worm demon. Plus! Tickle your nostalgia with the first Homestar Runner update in four years!
