The Laidback Nerds: Recent Episodes

Max & Harry

At The Laidback Nerds, mates Max and Harry get into it over their favourite TV shows, movies and fandoms. We have Max, the suave and sophisticated German dropping truth and knowledge on all things nerdy wherever he goes. And Harry the British one. Listen along to our audible candy while we desperately try to stay on topic, but if we falter fret not for a tangent here and there might lead to some insightful thought experiments. Or more likely an embarrassingly funny anecdote or two at our expense. Well. Kick back with us and see how it goes. What's the worst that could happen?

You didn't expect it, we didn't expect it, nobody didn't expect it. But here we are with our first episode of the year. Absolutely mad that we are the laziest pieces of shit in the whole nerdverse. However, we are about to get better and there is some exciting stuff going on in this one.

If you remember, there was a little X-Mas-Giveaway that still didn't come to any conclusion. You had the chance to win a unique and limited THE LAIDBACK NERDS shirt and we are doing the giveaway in this very episode. The lucky winner is finally announced! Buzzing, cunts!

Apart from all that excitment there is obviously some chitchatter and some discussion about what we watched the last couple months. We also give a tiny outlook on all the great shows yet to come in 2024! Have fun, fellas!

Hi, we are THE LAIDBACK NERDS. Did you know that you have the right to listen to our podcast? The Constitution says you do. And so do we.

Well, well, well, if it's not The Laidback Cunts. After another little binge drinking and partying break, Howard and Max are back again with lots of banter, chitchat and a little bit of nerdtalk. There aren't so many exciting shows at the moment, but the boys do find some topics to talk about anyways. 

Chatting away about the three B's - The Boys, Black Mirror and The Bear and whatever else comes to their minds makes this an easy and entertaining one. Make yourself comfortable and listen to this funny hike through a lot of bullshit! And if you wonder at any point: What are they doing? Us? Nothing. Just hanging around.
