Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today is Monday, December 17th, 2018 and I'm

your host Kara Santa Maria. Guys, this is the last episode of the year, just of the year.

Don't worry, I'm coming back.

I keep on coming back.

Yeah, I take a two-week hiatus every year around the holidays if you remember so we are going to

shut down talk nerdy production and pick it back up on January 7th so no episode on the 24th or the 31st, you're going to be partying, hanging

with your family, you won't be listening anyway. We'll have a brand new

episode on Monday, January 7th, 2019.

But for today, we have a great conversation in store for you.

But before we dive in, I want to thank those of you who make

talk nerdy possible each week I said that weird possible yep and first I'm

going to list my top patrons on Patreon remember you can support the show yourself if you visit

Patreon.com slash talk nerdy. I am so appreciative of all of you who do so.

I have so many patrons that give like 50 cents an episode a dollar an episode a ton that give five dollars an episode

You guys don't understand what a massive difference it makes it's just I mean you're the reason that we're here, but at the tippy

topist of supporters, I do want to thank Rob Schreck, Pedro M Rosario Barbosa, Phil T-Bere, the zombie drummer, David J. E. Smith, Jeffrey Perez, Charles Pay It,
