The Lazy Geeks has been around for sixteen years. The original podcast – still available – began in October of 2010. October of 2026, we will begin our seventeenth season. Our original mission statement was reporting news in gaming, technology, pop culture, and various other areas without all the clickbait content.
In the intervening years, we have mostly stuck to that philosophy, but now it seem harder to break through than ever. In 2026, I attempted to return to the brand with the original concept intact. However, people choose the facts they want to believe rather than the truth. This has been discouraging for us. Not only when dealing with an alternate reality of the right, but the purity testers from the left.
As James T. Kirk said once, “we’re both extremists. Reality is somewhere in the middle.”
Looking forward, we can’t be discouraged by this. We need to push on from these trolls. When you have online trolls that state in their bios that “if you block me, I won” or “doesn’t matter what you say, I’m right.” Far-right lie and when proven wrong, you’re called “fake news”. Over the course of the last decade, it’s just so tiring.
Going forward, we will no longer just debunk what is going on in the media. We will debunk commenters on social media, as well as the media that is reporting it. Not offering counters to the news they’re reporting, or omitting concepts that would break their narrative. Everyone has played a part in this reality we endure.
About Me is About the New Me
As for the modern Lazy Geeks, it is time to get back to our roots. Discuss news. Its impact, and how it is an extension of what was happening before the internet. Many of these sites go for “hot takes”, “unpopular opinions”, or “rage-bait” the audience for clicks. As one of my favorite fictional characters once said, “I’m on a mission to civilize.”
I will use this blog to showcase my other passion: deep dives. I’ve added categories like nostalgia, conspiracy theories, and administrative. That last one is more behind-the-scenes of the blog. As for podcasts, The Disgruntled Cinephile returns with reviews of movies from my childhood. Midlife Kind of Life is more about starting over in this timeline. Great American Sh*t Show returns.
There is a hope to get into YouTube with not just our podcasts but YouTube content. We have a Patreon to allow people to help keep us funded and continue to get out message out. Here is to year seventeen and the future.
Thanks for stopping by.
