Nerd Lunch

This week we follow in the footsteps of Weird Al Yankovic and program our very own UHF stations.

The guys have to come together to decide what will be on the menu for the next several decades and, to nobody’s surprise, it won’t be health food

Long time friend of Nerd Lunch, Fitz, occupies the fourth chair this week. In this episode the guys outfit some rooms with the finest in nerd decor.

Then things get really geeky when the exercise is repeated with a blank check. Eat your heart out, Ty Pennington.
