Hosted by Daniel M. Clark, Drew Bennett and Greg Hoffman.
The show began as Geek Dads @ Home, founded by Daniel, Joe Magennis and Sam Harrelson in December 2008. Scott Jangro joined the crew with the third episode, and various combinations of the four dads recorded 43 episodes throughout 2009. In January of 2010, Daniel and Joe rebranded the show as Geek Dads Weekly. BenSpark.com’s Drew Bennett, a listener of the show, joined the cast in April 2010. Greg Hoffman joined shortly after Affiliate Summit West 2012.

In which Daniel, Drew and Greg talk about the Avengers movie.
No, that’s it. Just that.
It’s a spoileriffic episode as we talk in great detail about the flick – you have been warned. Don’t come crying to us if you listen to the show before watching the movie. We lay it all out here for the full hour.
Thanks for listening! We’d love to hear your thoughts. Leave us a voice mail at 281-241-QAQN(7276). Also, you can email us at feedback@qaqn.com.
In which Daniel and Greg cover Saturday Night Live movies, The Avengers, the new Dark Knight trailer, scoring sweet concert tickets, and how nobody who uses Google Voice is sane.
We had a great show this week. Here’s the highlights:
The twentieth anniversary of Wayne’s World is this year. Also, a segment on SNL movies and how It’s Pat only grossed $60,000. Seriously.
The Avengers opens this week. It’s going to break records and set standards, you just watch. I just watched Thor and Captain America again with my wife in preparation.
I’m trying and failing to sell nearly 4,000 comic books.
I scored awesome tickets to see Rush this December. Ninth row!
Check out this Circus magazine I got off eBay.
Greg says he only ever gets crazy people calling him on his Google Voice number.
We have two contests running:
An Avengers movie prize pack, including a t-shirt, set of buttons, and awesome character 3D glasses.
Help us rename the show! We’re paying $100 to the person who suggests a great new name for the show.
All this and more – thanks for listening! We’d love to hear your thoughts. Leave us a voice mail at 281-241-QAQN(7276). Also, you can email us at feedback@qaqn.com.
In which Daniel and Greg talk about Record Store Day 2012, how much better vinyl is than other formats (maybe), Game of Thrones, Affiliate Summits East and Central, and oh yeah, DANIEL SAW THE AVENGERS MOVIE!
Drew Bennett is on vacation this week down in Florida. Later in the show notes I’ve got a short video from him that explains what he’s doing down there besides relaxing.
We started off talking about the artist-of-the-hour, Gotye, who performed last weekend on Saturday Night Live. I really like the two songs he did but not much else of his stuff. Greg noted that his performance at Coachella resulted in a lot of people predicting he’ll be a one hit wonder.
Next, I SAW THE AVENGERS MOVIE! Don’t worry, no spoilers. If you dig these kinds of movies even a little bit, you’re really going to like this one. It’s the best of its kind. I explained on the show how I got to see the movie three weeks early.
Record Store Day 2012 is coming up this Saturday, April 21st. We had a great discussion about vinyl vs. digital formats. I noted that HDTracks.com is a great resource for studio-quality digital recordings – if you think CD is the best digital format, think again.
Here’s something you might find interesting. We’re renaming the podcast. How would you like a hundred bucks? Help us name the show. There’s money in it for you.
I have a feeling we’re going to make Game of Thrones a regular weekly segment. The show is too good not to. Greg has blown through all of Season One and the first episode of Season Two, so he’ll be caught up by our next show. We’ll be doing recaps weekly, I think.
And lastly, I made a donation to Affiliate Marketers Give Back, along with Taylor West, who won my Full pass to Affiliate Summit Central 2012 in the auction I held last week. He bid $300 and together we donated $101 to AMGB.
Here’s Drew Bennett in Florida. I need to get a peek at his contact list… just give me five minutes…

In which Daniel, Drew and Greg talk about holidays, pointless movie sequels, affiliate marketing & OneLoad.com, and the recent discovery of a little-known site called eBay. You can buy stuff from them apparently.
In which Daniel, Drew and Greg discuss video games for young kids, pro wrestling for grown-ups, the Walking Dead for mature audiences and Twilight for repressed housewives. Oh, and something about some movie called Hunger Games, which is for pretty much anyone.
In which Daniel, Drew and Greg talk about the findings of a survey of geek dads, going offline on the National Day of Unplugging, and using a Polar RCX5 training computer (er, exercise monitor. Fancy, right?).
In which Daniel, Drew and Greg talk about webcams, Saturday Night Live being funny again, voting, and old school Sesame Street. Also, no mention of Pintere–ah, nuts.
In which Daniel, Drew and Greg discuss the upcoming tragic demise of affiliate marketing in Georgia, streaming live video, and choosing the right HDTV for your home.
In which Daniel, Drew and Greg discuss Fausnaught Day (that’s totally a thing), affiliate management, rebooting movie and television franchises, and Kevin Smith. Also, Pinterest. Again.
