Brent
The one who actually reads every comic before recording.
Brent has been a nerd since the day his grandfather handed him a Hulk comic in an attempt to shut him up during a long car ride. Working as a professional nerd for outlets like A Journal of Musical Things, Flink, Geek Hard and many more, he now does it for fun on True North Nerds… at least he thinks that’s why.
