You wouldn't know it by looking at us, but we have always been popular. The smartest and fittest -- Homecoming Kings...all-state quarterbacks.

As adults, we've turned down film roles, eschewed playing in popular bands...even refusing roles as heads of state.

Instead, we Gorillamen have chosen to channel all our popularity into a podcast that gets 250-500 listens a month! (Top those numbers, This American Life!!!)

Okay, so this week, two unpopular geeks talk about popular things. Specifically, this:

  • When was the first time you heard of a person or thing being popular?
  • When you were a kid, were you concerned with popularity?
  • Was your school/schools when you were young popularity contests?
  • As a (supposed) adult, are you concerned with popularity at all?
  • What’s the most popular thing you’ve done?
  • What are some popular things you like?
  • What are some popular things you hate?
  • Are presidential elections just popularity contests?
  • What’s the future of popularity?
