You’ll have to hear it to believe it.

Welcome to the first installment of the Ask Grant column, where Grant Miller, certified nut job and family man will answer your scummiest questions free of charge!

ASK: If you had to seek revenge on someone what would be your “go to” scummy revenge move? Light their car on fire? Or piss in their gas tank?

GRANT: Those two work good when you’re like, sixteen. For a more sophisticated and satisfying revenge move, I prefer to “personalize” the revenge if at all possible. If we’re talking about a co-worker, you can keep a small container of your pee (preferably aged) nearby until the time is right to pour it in their coffee or other beverage.

A mouse turd also works great in coffee because it will sink to the bottom only to be discovered after the last sip!

And remember, you can never download enough gay and/or beastiality porn from their computer while they’re at lunch.

If you’re looking to exact revenge on a friend, or better yet ex-friend, the sweetest revenge is sleeping with their sister… double points for the mom. Nothing says “Fuck you” better than someone who has done you wrong waking up to find their mom in the kitchen making you breakfast. Sure, they might be fighting angry, but will avoid conflict for fear of getting a royal beat down in front of their mother, making the revenge (and after sex glow) that much sweeter!

Well, there you have it. Join us next week as Grant trudges along on the road to enlightenment with his overbearing wife on his back and his children nipping at his heels like wild animals. Who knows… maybe Grant will unlock the secrets of the universe…

This week, The Geek Savants discuss the greatest films of the decade. Okay, maybe not the greatest films of the decade, but their personal favorite movies of the past ten years.

The Geek Savants address problems they’ve been having with the comics industry, select listeners… and each other. The feel good episode of the year!

On November 18th, the world lost a mainstay in comics podcasting. Eric Martin (aka The Question) passed away in his sleep, suffering a massive heart attack. While we mourn the loss of one of our own, we also celebrate the fingerprints Eric left on podcasting. From Comics Playground to DC Noise and The Trip, and his appearances on Comic Racks, Geek Brunch, and The Geek Savants, Eric was one of the more prolific voices in our community. He will be remembered fondly by his peers, and The Geek Savants are proud to call him friend.

This episode is dedicated to Eric Martin, may he rest in peace.

That said, don’t expect us to be all doom and gloom, and politically correct– this one is chock full of scumdillery. Just like Eric would have wanted.
