You know, we always use superhero names around here on The Real Brian Show. It’s something Podcast Overlord and I started back on the Arrow Squad podcast years ago and it’s something I’ve brought over to TRBS. The reason I love for all of us to have superhero names is twofold. 1 is that “radio/superhero” names are just cool! Let’s be honest. And 2, I hope our superhero names reflect the best version of ourselves. Ideally they’re REAL… but they’re also something we continue to strive for.  So one thing we are looking forward to today is sharing with you FAILED SUPERHERO NAMES… or I guess we could turn it positive and say these names are “missed opportunities”... hehe… plus, I have a really cool story to share with you that I hope will help us all to unleash our superheroes. We’ll talk about what we’re nerding out on this week, and we have some typical pop culture stuff to talk about as well!!!
