Nerdwalking at the 2009 Anime Expo
Mike Cioffi took a recorder, a clipboard and a dream to the Los Angeles Convention Center, and he came back with a completely original bit that we like to call Nerdwalking. Marc and Tod compete to see if nerds really know pop culture.

I have been waiting for this! Fucking shit yeah!
Awesome! Yet again I was laughing on the subway like a god damn maniac.
Two Thoughts:
I think Marc was on the money about the "Safety=2 Points" answer coming from some Madden or NFL Blitz game play.
I thought maybe someone would get the "Vin Scully" question, if only because of a few references on The Simpsons. (I am thinking specifically about Gabbo's song in the ep. Krusty Gets Kancelled)
Even I got the Gretzky one wrong, I flipped the order of his last two teams post LA Kings.
Tod rules!
Now - who remembers the first team Gretzky played for, as a pro?
I'd also like to see a Reverse-Nerdwalking. See what people in the parking lot of a Ted Nugent or Puddle Of Mud concert know about nerd topics.

Andy, you should check out Heavy Metal Parking Lot. A 15 minute video that interviews Judas Priest fans outside the United Center in 1986. Be on the lookout for Zebraman!
