The Podcast

Battle Armor Joe (@SharePointJoe)  has spent 12 years in the technology field but his true desire is to be a LEGO Mini Figure.

 

 

Mr. Serious (@chapmanrunner) has been selling his whole life, nowadays he actually gets paid to do it. His long term goal is to retire young and spend his days watching old episodes of Saturday Night Live and tweeting about “the good old days”. He produces and edits the UnderScoopFire podcast.

 

Tank (@P0LISHPHEN0M) (“the Os are zeroes”) lives in Rochester, NY & manages a movie theater. During his free time he wines & dines on pop culture. Being a child of the 80s, nothing gets him going more than a daily dose of movies from his childhood. They are his muse & inspire him to be a better human.

 

Retired

Googs (@NotFakeGoogs) is a wise, handsome, worldly man. He is also a massive geek who devours anything Star Wars related. He loves beer, books and lots of television and can often be found wandering the streets preaching about the greatness of “Community”. He also loves his beautiful wife. Hi dear.
