wanted with Deep Space Nine is my number one

Geek Fallout Reloaded opens like two friends settling in before the real topic lands. Chris Lockhart welcomes listeners back and brings in Kevin Deeson, who jumps right to the weather and the hope that open-window season is close. Chris pushes back with his own second-winter reality, and the two spend a bit of time on how spring used to show up differently when they were growing up. The episode also notes that this release will come out later than normal. It is mentioned casually, not like a correction, which fits the show’s loose pace. Once the opening banter clears, the discussion shifts to Bob Carradine. The hosts talk through where they remember him from and where they do not, which keeps the conversation personal instead of polished. One connects him to Lizzie McGuire, while the other remembers Revenge of the Nerds from childhood. They also talk about the honking laugh from the film, and James Cromwell comes up as the person who helped create it for the scene. The conversation wanders the way familiar panel chats do, but it keeps returning to the same point: this was someone whose work left a mark, even if the details come back unevenly. The hosts also mention the report that his death was by suicide by hanging. They compare that to David Carradine’s death and note the strange similarity. The tone stays steady and plainspoken rather than dramatic. Even when the subject gets heavier, the hosts keep talking the way people do when they are trying to remember and make sense of something at the same time. There is no forced polish here. The show sounds like people thinking out loud, and that is part of the appeal. Near the end, the episode circles back to release timing and listener context. Chris explains that the episode is arriving later than normal because of the schedule. He adds that someone listening years from now may not notice or may hear the show as a small moment from another time. That little aside gives the closing a gentle, reflective feel. The signoff returns to the show’s usual warmth, thanking the listener for spending time with Geek Fallout Reloaded. It ends with the promise of seeing everyone again in the not too distant future. The whole episode stays true to the show’s loose, conversational rhythm. It is built from banter, memory, pop-culture reference, and a few direct, unvarnished reactions. The result is a grounded, fan-first conversation that never tries to sound bigger than it is. It just keeps going until the real feeling shows up.
