Dave introduces himself and The Word Nerds.

The show is rated PG-13, but will sometimes be R, because it is about the actual language people speak.

The word 'nerd' is explicated in a hopefully not-too-nerdy way. 'Geek' is geekily explained, and 'dweeb' is glanced at as only a dweeb could do.

Rude word of the week: suck.

Music: 'Mistakable Mr. Smith' by Ten Story Relapse (Note: contrary to what is said in the 'cast, Ten Story Relapse DOES have a CD for sale on their website. Check it out!)

'Blow Me' by Kick the Cat
